Ownership Experiences- 2018 TAG Heuer Connected Modular 41

M47R1X

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 .

Welcome to the forum, and glad you are also enjoying your TH Connected Modular! 😀

This is the original charger:

You can find it here, together with all accessories compatible with your Modular 41:

Mine is also 5V 1000mA, and it’s the original USB charger:

Some honest close-ups of my 41 😀

As you can see, it's all about the light how marks and scratches become visible. The watch needs a proper cleaning as well. Worst scratches on the bottom. Seller claims this is a result of connecting the charging plate. Can't believe :-( I don't know what's the best solution to fix the "golden" first dot. Any suggestions?

Regarding the Bezel, I think the material (coating/finish) seems quite sensitive and does not resist a lot of wear.

Wanted to start this thread for those of us with the slightly smaller version that has the upgraded tech.

Got mine a couple of weeks ago and here are some of my observations:

- Much more responsive than either my Casio WSD-F20 or my first gen Huauei.
- The Huauei has a brighter screen
- The look and feel of the Tag is FAR superior (better be for the price)
- Battery life (after a hard reset once I upgraded to wear OS) is okay.
-- I get a full day charge with the following - GPS on, NFC on, Wifi on, messages fairly constant through the day, always on display, and all motion features turned off.
- Found something interesting when looking at the storage list from the Wear OS interface on the phone.
-- Does anyone else have TicWatch apps loaded on their tag watch that show up when looking at the storage but not when viewing the apps from the play store?
-- Did Tag have the TicWatch folks make the electronics? If so, that means that our $1K+ watch has <$100 internals. If that is the case we are paying quite the premium for the case and strap.

Here is my new Tag and a screenshot of the TicWatch apps that seem to be preloaded on the Tag watch (edited to only show those apps)

Still spinning now. Hopefully the battery will be dead by the morning.

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.

"YOUR WATCH. YOUR LIFE. WATCH BANDS EVOLVE WITH YOU.
You’re shoved against a wall. You’re thrown into a swimming pool. You drop your watch down a flight of stairs. You spend a week lying in the sun. Memories, with scars left on your leather strap.

Black and brown leathers are natural, living materials. They change color, age, evolve and adjust. Like a good wine, they get better as they get older. Leather bands develop a unique patina that tells a story, your story. Unlike rubber strap watchesand NATO strap watches, leather strap watches become uniquely yours with wear.

They are one-of-a-kind, like you."

If your strap would fit my CM 41 I'd buy it from you. 😀
Leather is natural and will always develop a beautiful, unique, so called patina over time.

The process worked perfectly until step 9. Unfortunately, the watch didn’t restart at all. Looks like I need a trip to the dealer.
