I have fixed the posts.

Apparently @ponente67 has an automatic translator that is messing things up. Hopefully he can disable it before posting.

Does the Modular has sound alarm like the Apple Eatch? I tried everything but it only vibrates. Thanks

After 3 weeks with my Tag Connect 45 I'm reasonably happy with it. However for some unknown reason the iPhone bluetooth stopped working with the watch and no matter what I did it would not connect. The only option was a factory reset which means you have to spend time re-downloading everything again. OK that works but it's a pain. Apart from watch faces and weather apps what apps can you download? I ask this because the Android apps on Google play are not compatible with the Tag.

Try downloading the apps on your phone so you know they work. I use Strava and that’s about it. Not sure why your connection keeps dropping.

Hey, just after some advice really.

I'm considering letting go of my M45 but unsure what price to put it up for... I've been very interested for a while in the Garmin fenix range of watches but will need to part with the M45 to do so - however I'm only in a position to sell the head only as I have the mechanical module which I plan to keep!

It's the black carbide coated model with the black ceramic bezel! Any idea how much I could get just for the head itself with the charger?

Thanks

Wow that’s a hard one. Not only hard to price but I suspect your only prospective customer is someone with a damaged module.

I would think that 1/4 of the full RRP would probably be a starting point considering the cost for someone to purchase the lugs, strap and clips to build their own cheaper than new....

Thanks for your reply... See this lays my problem, my only market really is for someone who is either buying to replace a damaged head or someone I guess that has the spare lugs etc to make a second watch where they would then purchase to have a titanium and black watch.

I wasn't really wanting to sell for any less than £450 as it wouldn't really seem worth while getting rid of from the cost i paid on the M45 and what I'd then have to pay towards the fenix

Yes so you may need to list and then wait a while for the buyer to come up. I’d list it in as many places you can and cross fingers!

My thoughts exactly... Thanks again for your input appreciated

Does the Brown Calfskin strap come with the buckle? or does that need to be purchased separately

It needs to be purchased separately. The buckle and the lugs mounted to the watch itself are not included with a strap. A new bucke and lugs costs almost the same as the entry level CM45...

Just purchased my new Tag connect and so disappointed with it so far. The instructions are very basic. I have an iPhone 8 with ios 11.2, paid $3.99 for Watchmaker premuim and when I try and upload I get a blue ring and uploading followed by error messages. So much so I keep flattening the battery on the watch. Not a good start. Any ideas?

Watchmaker is fantastic once it is working correctly. I have found that if I close the android wear app on my iphone 8+ and then send the watchface from watchmaker to my cm45 it works. I read in one of the threads that the android wear app will automatically control your wifi connection on the watch to save battery. the error message from watchmaker for me was because the wifi was turned off by the android wear app so when I closed that app, the wifi stay connected on my watch and the faces were able to sync. once I loaded a bunch of faces that I wanted on my watch, I opened the android wear on my phone so the battery mgmt was back on.

I haven't seen it in action when paired to an Android phone, but I get SMS, Facebook and Instagram notifications, can dictate to Google Assistant, I get the Google Fit data on the watch but haven't checked if it syncs (I don't use fitness data), Google Maps works, I get calendar notifications. Only thing I've had issues with is Strava, which worked before the latest update. I can't seem to get the account to sync but I suspect it's a Strava thing, not an iOS thing.

In my opinion, the iOS app thing only became a thing because some people thought they were being short-changed without it. If you use WatchMaker for watch faces if you want to, then I'm not aware of any actual features that you miss out on with iOS.

It's a great watch (I'm on my 2nd one lol), and really looks and feels fantastic on. My only wish is that when the next generation comes along, that it's offered as a module so we can upgrade at a lower cost, or that they release a Calibre 01 mechanical module for it (as I find the mechanical Calibre 5 module option a little bland).

hi. for some reason I still cant get my iphone 8+ to send messages to my CM45. where do you configure ? thanks

I'm not sure because I didn't need to ever configure anything, it just worked. Is your watch connected to the phone? Some people are reporting connectivity issues (you'll see a cloud crossed out on the watch face if it loses connection).

Hi everyone,
I got my modular 45 a month ago, in general happy with it, but have three main issues. Please, let me know if you have the same or it’s only my problem and need to contact service center. Using with iphone 6s plus, ios 11
1. WiFi connection is not stable, Tag always loses it. So don’t get an idea of it then.
2. After the latest update Android Pay disables itself. Tried to re-install it, restarted several times and even reset the watch, but nothing helped.
3. When the screen goes to ambient mode, it decentres (see the picture). And this is really annoying.
Thank you
