Will be interesting to see what they say. I'm waiting for a call back as I never received the charger plug.

I really want to keep the screen always on and if it will last 16 hours I think that's acceptable
I didn't get a plug. Just a USB cable.

Did any of you guys get a cream envelope in your package containing a piece of card stating 'A gift for you' and another saying 'Thankyou' but nothing else...

Seemed a bit strange to me thats all !!!

No, that is strange. Did you receive a plug to charge the watch?

I've just emailed TH asking for a plug.

Another day of battery checks. So last night was another night of discharging the battery and an overnight charge.

Today I have switched back on the 'always on' feature. So that and wifi are now both on all day. Watch face is a 'th studio' (twin time, blue dial, red highlights-lovely).

After five hours I have used 25%. So should see that 20hr mark. This has improved from the 15-16 hours from new.

So I do recommend to everyone to go through this process of 'calibrating ' the battery, it definitely makes a difference.

Tip for finding watch faces on watchfinder forum. Scrolling through the feed does bring some up but wasn't many for me personally. So I tapped on some of the designers names that made some I liked and scrolled though their individual wall. This has brought up many excellent faces otherwise not findable normally.

Hey guys, just my two cents.

Has anyone with the new Mod 45 done a battery calibre when they first got it..? This is when you run the battery down to nothing and then re-charge to 100% then drain it again. I've always done this will all my devices as it tests and calibrates the battery.

Also is anyone else a bit fυcked off with Tag, I thought the Carrera upgrade after two years was a special edition, however if you look at the Mechanical Head for the Mod 45 it looks exactly the same as what the original Tag Connected owners will get.

Hi guys, I have just received my charger plug which was missing in the original delivery and it has come with a lead and base as well. My question is that the charging base is black and the one with the watch was silver, so I wonder if they've sent me a charger for the original Connected and if it will still work the same? Thanks

I tried to use my old one and it didn't work. If yours does, then you are OK.

I am afraid you might be right.

The charger plug works fine with the original supplied silver puck and cable. I have just put the black plastic series one puck and cable on eBay (U.K.) if anyone needs a spare! Still on 30% after 13 hours so battery life improving as others have said.

I wouldn't mind people posting their battery lives. I'm on my second unit and I fear the battery on this also lacking the advertised figures.

Mine is back with Tag Heuer. I get 14-15 hours on a good day, 8-9 on a bad day. They've apparently tested it - they apparently wore it for a day! They've not offered a replacement. Does anyone get the anywhere near 25-hours? I've turned off almost all the features - I have an iPhone so NFC and GPS don't work anyway.

Had mine on all day yesterday. Sat on the side overnight. Just checked, it has 13% left.
