Ownership Experiences- 2017 TAG Heuer Connected E2 Modular 45

Z Zoeyevangelista

Hi.
I have bought the newest series of tag connected few days ago. Exactly,I want to get any information from all of you around here who has the watches. Few days ago, i just setup my new watch to updated the latest version and charging the battery until 100%. Afterthat, i just shutdown/poweroff this watch, because i am using any other watch to daily use. However, i am surprise when i want to use the tag connected, i just press the power button and then it won't turn on, but when i put the dock to charge it, the watch just turn on. I really curious, is the watch when position turn off reduction the battery percentage? Please give me some information about it

Couple of questions to the community

1) My auto-brightness only updates when I "wake" the watch from always-on to On, is this supposed to be this way? is there any setting that will update the brightness regularly? I would like for the watch to update brightness while looking at the always on screen without having to wake it (I don't use the tilt to wake feature)

2) I find the screen on the modular 45 gets fingerprint smudges more that other watches I'v used (Huawei, Apple Watch), has anybody tried a watch screen protector or even an Oleophobic coating?

Btw.
Related to the tilt to wake I'm using an app that I think is really useful. Its called StayLit Wear and it lets you change the amount of time the face is on when awaken. The option that does the trick for me is the *Indefinitely setting which will keep the display indefinitely on but only while your looking at it, the moment you tilt the watch away from your face it goes back to sleep or always-on screen. This is perfect and the way Google should have done it in the first place

What steps are you taking to turn off the watch?

Are you doing it this through this procedure?: Settings > System > Power off

In other words, are you sure sure the watch is really OFF?

Or are you just turning the display OFF ("Theater mode") so when you leave it for a prolonged period of time the battery is completely drained.

Yeap that's the build.

Anyone that's using an iPhone having issues with wifi when trying to connect to the play store? It always says wifi is unavailable and they later it will finally connect..also for Bluetooth it says the phone is unavailable.. both of this happened on my first watch as well..

Also on third party faces from the play store that shows the weather...for iPhone it never pulls it??

Anyone interested in starting a list of apps that are useful with an iPhone ?
AccuWeather works an adds a crap watch face but you can use the data to add weather information to other watch faces
Compass level - won't work for me
Calculator works
Runkeeper works on the phone but I can't get it to connect to iPhone, might try changing my account to the gmail on runkeepr to see if it syncs the data. Has anyone tried this?
Built in weather app worked, google fit all worked.
Built in contacts and calendar are also working for me, but you can find a contact and get the phone to call the number
Notifications are working, I get sms, iMessages and others

Would like a map app to work

Has anyone used this watch swimming or in the bath or shower? I bought mine a month ago and use it while teaching swimming. Even after getting out of the pool and drying it off the screen is pretty much unusable and/or erratic. It takes maybe 5 minutes to become properly usable again.

Anyone fancy getting the watch really wet and then reporting back? I'm on my second because of this issue and this one does the same.

Here's a video showing how to create your own custom watch faces using TAG Heuer Studio. Did you know you can add a picture background?
