R RJVHow are you locating apps? In Google Play if you try and search for an app you are presented with lots of results and hardly any of them are compatible making it a huge trial and error job trying to find interesting apps.
R RJVGreat quick reply! I guess I'll have to try the watch as I can't find anything through the iPhone. All I'm looking for is a simple reminder stored on the watch and notes that have an enter (or return) key. Even contacts only show the phone numbers and no addresses though all contacts are there.
Picked up the Red Bull edition Modular 45. Noted that it was still running Wear OS 1.3 and not 2.0. I have been unsuccessful in getting it to update, to include unpairing the watch from my Pixel 2 XL, deleting all the apps, then reinstalling. Tried a factory reset twice and it still won't update.
Instructions seem very sparse for this model of watch...am I doing something wrong?
Here's what I wrote several dozen pages back:
1. Make sure your watch is fully charged.
2. Ensure WiFi is connected.
3. Try disabling Bluetooth on the watch.
I'm the pastpI witnessed that having "Bluetooth on" could "disconnect the WiFi" when the phone was in range.
4. Go to Settings > System > About > System Updates
5. If you see the System is up to date "green check", keep "clicking it" (rapid pace touches) until you see the screen change and the download starts.
Again, for this to work, you must be connected to WiFi, try it with Bluetooth off.
6. Monitor the download progress.
7. When the download is fully verified hit the option to apply.
Let me know if you see a different behavior.

Please check the pictures of my CM 45: mine also shows “Wear OS 1.3”, and it says that system is updated, checking it when it’s fully WiFi connected beeing in the charger, so I assume it has the last version (also Android 8.0.0, and security from 5th of May 2018), so I think you already have the last version too... or we both have the same
problem!
Is someone having newer versions?
v1.3 is the latest. Here's an explanation that might help with the confusion:
- Android Wear versions used to be pretty easy to follow: Android Wear 1.5 -> Android Wear 2.0 - 2.9
- When Android Wear was renamed to Wear OS, the Android Wear app was updated from Android Wear 2.9 to Wear OS 2.10. This was simply an application update delivered via the Play Store.
- Watches started to receive the rebranding system OTA which carried the version label Wear OS 1.0, and corresponds to the Wear OS 2.10 home app version.
- Wear OS really carries two versions: one for the Wear OS home app and one for the Wear OS system. The Wear OS home app (what used to be Android Wear) starts at 2.10 while the Wear OS system starts at 1.0.
- The most current version of the Wear OS home app is 2.12; the most current Wear OS system is 1.3.
K kpcpsHello,
been watching this thread since day one of when the Tag Heuer Connected 45 is out. The main reason why I did not purchased one, it is the battery life. Now one year after I am still thinking to buy it but I am not sure if I want to cope with the low battery life.
Since I am using smartwatches in generally I like to have all notifications off, with my current ones (Fitbit Ionic, Gear S3) I do not even have the screen always on.
I am just wondering how the battery life is with notifications off and the always-on display off.
Hi kpcps!
I use it with NFC off, but all notifications on, GPS on, and I’m using always-on display on with custom Watchmaker faces (which are using more battery than the standard TH faces). I like to see a watch face ever, not a black screen... so I even switch off the dim modes of that Watchmaker faces, and every day, after 11 hours using the watch that way, the battery is (depending on the face) still around at 40-55%... so with your settings, you should easily have more than 20 hours of battery life. If this is enough for you, then go for it! 😉
I’m very happy with the purchase, and enjoying the CM 45 every day, even using it with iPhone X. I understand it works even better with Android phones, but the Bluetooth connection with the iPhone is very reliable, and the notifications are working well
C chrisukAnyone have any idea on resale values of these watches (all black titanium and ceramic) ? Perfect condition, box, warranty, receipt etc
I’m thinking of selling mine as I’ve got a new watch and this doesn’t see the light of day anymore, although since the last set of updates, now works flawlessly with iOS (#ironic lol).
Paid £2650 12 months ago.
Cheers
