Got mine last night as well. It will be interesting to see how this impacts battery performance as prior updates usually impacted battery requiring a hard reset.

Do you think the new update should improve the battery consumption ?

I think this is my first post here... I did get my CM41 a few month ago and enjoy it (my phone is Android Pie now). I also just got the Wear OS 2.0 update on my 41. While I didn't measure it, I've had the impression of significantly better battery life since WearOS 2.16 got update at the end of September (before the 2.0 UI change that I got yesterday.

Welcome; glad the update has improved your battery endurance. Keep us posted on how this progresses.

Live weather radar with several overlay options. It actually works quite well on a small screen. It does hit the battery pretty hard though when its updating.

Hi all,

Been visiting this board for the last weeks to gain some info on the Tag Connected and like to introduce my self now. 40 yrs old female here and probably the only owner who is happy with the short strap 😀

I have some Smartwatch experience from cheap China Watches and always had the problem that they were way too big for me. Thats why they all landed in the cupboard after a few weeks. The only fitness tracker (not a real smartwatch) I used for several months was the Mi Band 2, as it is quite small and did the job with notifications pretty well.

Apple Watch was no option for me, as I am proud Android user since many years. I do like the Quality of Apple products, but somehow feel that the OS is way too much restricted. Android does deliver far more options for people that like to tweak around on the software, root their devices etc.

I was having an eye on the Tag Heuer Connected since 2016 due to the premium hardware it is made of. You won't find sapphire glass, an Intel processor and Titanium that easy on an wearable device that additionally somehow still looks like a "real" watch.

Finally I pulled the trigger on a used 41 model.
Sad to mention the seller betrayed me on it's overall condition it as a lot of scratches on body, steel bezel and corroded battery contact points. Worst he tried to clean the battery points by scratching... It somehow hurts me, because I am a person who really takes care about all the things I own, they often look like new even after years of ownership.

Long story short, here I am and hopefully can contribute to the forums.
Anyone using the developer options in settings/system/about?
You can activate them by tapping several times on "build number" .
For instance it will unlock options like "always on display" when the watch is connected with the charger.

Yes. I bought it from eBay.
The pictures were promising and it seemed like the watch is in pretty good condition.

Personally I won't trust everything I see on eBay until I have seen it in front of me.
Are you enjoying your watch ? 😀

Welcome @M47R1X. Sorry to learn about your eBay 2nd hand experience. Hopefully the watch is working and you can get good use our of it.

Be sure to checkout the Watchmaker thread and post your favorite custom watchfaces.

Thats a good advise, especially in terms of watches. I now have painfully learned from it.

But besides it's - in my opinion - heavy used optics I am really muchmuch enjoying so far.
Today is day one and after unplugging it from the charger 8 hours ago I currently run on 77% Battery. Which is is pretty nice I think. Got a lot of Messages and played a little around with it but the battery seems to last me easily one day in my job (9-10 hours). GPS turned off, Wifi on, tilt off, Black GMT Face, tap to wake in ambient mode with white hands.

May I ask if one of you could post a picture from his USB charger. Mine seems to be made in China, 1000 mAh 5V, and I dont know if it's the original one that came in my bbox.Could not find info on it in the web so far. Just to make sure not damaging my battery with the wrong Voltage.

Thank you .
