Ditto, I sincerely hope they offer a module-only and don't change sizes again. Offering mechanical modules is one thing to alleviate obsolescence, but many of us want to continue with smart modules without having to replace the entire watch every 18 months or whatever it is. Fingers crossed!

 

I'm also hopeful but I see two issues; first there is no guarantee that TAG Heuer is preparing a new smartwatch. Depends on how well the current one has sold, I guess. Second, TAG has a contract with Intel. If it's ongoing, then TAG Heuer cannot have access to a competing chipset.

 

Montblanc Summit 2 will be the first Snapdragon Wear 3100 watch!

I wonder if it's going to be Made in China like the first Summit!

 

I thought about bying the Summit but when i saw the CM45 i was sold. No comparison on design. A pity as i am a big MB fan.

 

I will probably upgrade when TH puts out a watch featuring this processor. Battery life is my only complaint currently. It would be nice if they offered a standalone module purchase option so I could continue to use my lug/strap collection.

 

If you are using watchmaker watch faces they will drain your battery quick .. TH watch faces are perfect and I get a whole day out of my watch .. usually when I go to bed I put my watch on to charge and I still have about 55-60% of juice

 

I tried yesterday watchmaker and didn't really find any watch face up to how TH watch faces .. I think this is just a personal opinion ..

 

I do use a custom watchmaker face that I personally enhanced from an excellent base. It shows some color on the ambient display (TH Logo, red dots on markers, red second hand). The second hand also shows remaining battery life in ambient mode which is a big plus for me. I might play with a standard watch face to see if it has an impact but probably wouldn't go with one even if it did because the skeleton watch faces are just too plain for me.

 

Would be nice to have a screen saver such as TH logo in ambient mode

 

I mean...aren't all these companies basically owned by LVMH? So I don't see why not? (he says hopefully). Anyways, IDK how Montblanc and the other 3100 watches are but I REALLY hope TH at least let's us have full color and WATCH looking watch faces in the "enhanced ambient mode", that's the ONE THING I hate about the connected is the TH apps BEAUTIFUL faces go into this dumb "8 bit"/black white only type mode. Like not even asking for colors or too fancy, even just basic black background with white markings can be DONE WELL to make it look like a proper watch.

 

The thing is that the previous Tambour Horizon was already running on Qualcomm platform. If TAG Heuer has a contract with Intel, it's unknown whether they can switch suppliers or not.
