·Not a huge fan of the bracelet.
Straps look good.
I don't think the bezel in the 42 model is 'virtual'. It's just underneath the curved glass (numbers will be visible when the display is off).
Well we don't really care about this "made of China thing".... no need to point it out at every new generation launch ;-) . Where is your samsung or iPhone made ? If you fly on a Airbus A320 in China, it is assembled in Tianjin 😉
What matters is the brand and the quality of the product.

Who is 'we'? Everybody in the world? 😉
I also could say: 'we really care where the watch is made when we going to pay a premium price for that watch'… because I know more people who care about that, as also the previous TAG Heuer management, just read these paragraphs from the press release when they launched Gen2 Modular 45:
When we talk about the importance of the 'Swiss Made' label, it is not the same if we talk about luxury watches than smartphones or washing machines. Just as when we talk about the denomination of origin of a Rioja or Priorat wine... which are not a Rioja or Priorat if they are made in another country or region, not even a French champagne can be made in India... just as we like to know that a Mercedes-AMG engine is assembled by hand 'one man one engine' at the AMG headquarters in Affalterbach, 40 km from Stuttgart, and not in an anonymous factory in China, and it is also something that guarantees its quality, its quality control, and justifies its high price… If suddenly a new management of the brand decided that those AMG engines were to be manufactured in China, losing certain important features, losing reliability, and also increasing their price, as a customer I would not be very happy... that is what happened with Gen2 Modular 45 vs Gen3, and now continues with Gen4. Price of this new Gen4 is a joke if you compare it with the price of Gen2 Modular 45:
Steel Gen4 on rubber strap, Made in China, non Modular, price in February 2022: €1950 (EURO)
Titanium Gen2 on rubber strap, Swiss Made, Modular, price in February 2020: €1650 (EURO)
And another joke is the price increase of Gen4 straps vs Gen3 straps 🤦
Someone needs to tell Time & Tide that the E4 is not Swiss made and put together by the same watchmakers that make the Mechanical models.
The last 2 Generations haven't been Swiss Made so it's pretty poor to make this mistake.
Time & Tide constantly get their facts incorrect. They refer to cal 5 sometimes as in house, then in the next video they say the cal 5 is ETA and so on.
