Don't get the falster. Had it, looks cheap because it's so minimally designed. 1000 and get the montblanc summit 2. The LTE model has a speaker. Has everything, if not more than the TAG. The new TAG looks a little bit better on the wrist but not by much.
The Garmin Marq line has watch bands that hug the case, titanium, and look super premium.

 

It's a matter of taste; the Montblanc is not for me because I don't like its classical, dressy style for a smartwatch. I like smartwatches to have a contemporary or futuristic style.
The Garmin Marq seems to me like a TAG Heuer that went overboard. It's quite close to what I would consider my style, however it's for me slightly tacky. To be honest the TAG Heuer Connected 3 is still the one closest to my taste, but I think my Connected Modular 45 is better in many ways.

 

For the office Gen 3 is fab. Just exactly what I've been looking for. The brand matters too which was the main concern about Garmin for me with its dodgy satnavs and stuff.

 

"We realised that people were changing straps a lot more than lugs and really interested in the watch face part," says Jade Ferreol, product manager for TAG Heuer Connected. "For each of the straps that we have, our designers spent a lot of time making sure that everything we’re doing on the digital and watch face side is really matching what we have there."

Oh man... I don't know. It's a beautiful piece of design, but still... I discover more and more things that I think they look better on my Modular 45; e.g. The polished steel is for me not as expensive looking as the satin titanium of the Modular 45. I really wish I had the tech of the Connected 3 in a module for the Connected 2.
I guess, when the coronavirus pandemic subsides, I'll be allowed to travel to nearest TAG Heuer shop (there's none in my country) and have a look in a shop and decide on the spot.

 

I would pay double to have a CM45 with 3rd gen tech.
From yesterday i am praising my watch more and know i must be more careful until now because if it gets damaged i will be forced to buy the 3rd and i will look at it every day and miss the old one.
I do not know if someone feels asame but i like the cm45 design alot and now its more than alot.

 

Maybe people will consider me a hater.. but its just my humble opinion.

 

i agree. the brushed titanium looked more high end for sure.

 

Well, I picked it up this morning at 11:00.
12 hours later I cannot stop looking at it.
One question to those who don’t like it: have you put it on your wrist?

The watch is awesome. Much sleeker, much sharper and brighter screen, much faster and polished software, side buttons beautiful and useful, great TH Sports app...
There is nothing I like less than the Gen 2.

Don’t settle for what you see on a web page, go to a dealer, put it on and test it.
Otherwise you don’t know what you are missing.

 

That's funny, whenever I go into the office, I mostly see Garmin and apple watches and no-one cares about brands.

 

What did you expect them to wear, rolex?

 

Mmy

Totally agree.

 

No question it looks good. But it's not a real TAG anymore. Loosing the tight fitting Carrera rubber, steel construction, and made in China. Fossil Corp could have made the exact same watch for 600$, and call it the Emporio Armani. Overall I do like the gen 3, but tag could have done better for the price.

 

I used to see a lot of rolexs and some omegas, but over the last few years its very noticible how the rolexs have been swapped out for apples.

 

I disagree. It’s a real TAG more than ever, because it looks like a mechanical TAG watch.
You don’t have to wear a bulky watch because it’s a smartwatch.
