Sep 21 System update.

My Connected 45 updated yesterday and today the battery died before lunchtime. Has anyone seen this. I know it is a challenge to get a day out of this (Fabulous watch, dreadful battery) but 5 to 6 hours is bad! I understand all the tricks required to stretch out the battery and they are in place. Any thoughts?

Please tell me the exact version number of the software . Thanks

Looks like PXEA.210830.001.B1. Normally my watch can get to the end of the day so long as I do not monitor exercise. Today the watch appears to be back to potentially 16-17 hours. But I have noticed today that the connection to phone has kept dropping out, more so than usual. I do love the watch, I do not want to be overly critical I had version 1 it was useless regarding stamina. This model is either an exercise monitor or a watch but not both. The battery simply cannot cope.

To be honest I have only used my gen 1 and 2 as a watch and step monitor. I can get 2 days use out of the gen 2 with always on display on. That’s 16 hours per day. I’m very happy with that. I don’t want to be continually interrupted by meaningless messages every 5 minutes.

Thats good, perhaps I am expecting too much. I also have Apple Watch and it is just sorted (but ugly!). I think most of the demand in the TAG comes from the processor, perhaps next gen will see an improvement.

The gen 2 is a stunning looking watch with 3 mechanical heads and many lugs strap combos. I don’t think we will see the likes of it again, a true masterpiece of design. Enjoy it firstly as a tag Heuer watch with so many good faces to load. The gen 1 I still like, and it’s the far superior watch for telling the time in direct sunlight.
