As posted here before I'm considering purchasing a 2nd or even 3rd connected. However, I just had a jewelry store tell me that the new E5 is going to be releasing February 2024 and that there was a press release (I cannot find it). However, I've also had a boutique tell me that for sure it's not releasing February 2024 as it's still in development, so early 2025 the earliest. It would be a shame to but 1 or 2 more connected watches now and have the E5 release in February 2024. Has anyone heard any rumors regarding the potential release date of the E5? The E3 was released in 2020 and the E4 in 2022, so that would indicate a 2 year cycle, but the E1 released in 2016 and the E2 only 1 year later in 2017, and then between the E2 and the E3 it was actually 3 years (2017-2020). And lately smartwatch brands that released a new smartwatch every single year have now gone 2 or 3 years without a new smartwatch, so that's why I'm curious as far as the E5's potential released date.

 

Any update when E5 with W5+ will be?

 

Won't be in the first half of 2024.
Best case in the end of 2024 if we are lucky.

 

Seems gold edition will be even in 2025 then, it is a pitty

Interesting...

 

Hi all,

According TH shop employees there won't be any E5 this year. TH is focusing on E4 maybe good thing about it that we might get OS4 for it

 

I doubt they will invest time and money in WearOS 4 if they are working on their own OS... (not confirmed, just rumors...).

 

If these rumors are true would we fine as well.
Even if I can't imagine that for the few watches they release, development of an own OS will make sense...

 

Definitely not in 2024.
2025 for the E5 and possibly with a new OS.

 

I was told in TH shop yesterday (8th May 24), that a new Connected model will be coming out next year in 2025 to commemorate the 10 year anniversary. I couldn't wait, so bought new E4 anyway

 

Thanks for sharing. Confirms my information.
Have fun with E4.. hopefully we will get a firmware update soon..

 

Just had a email about the new connected..
“The TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 blends the Swiss Maison's luxurious design with advanced technology. The 45 mm steel case, with a customisable dial and bold orange rubber strap, combines performance and style for those in pursuit of excellence. Available exclusively online.”


So it’s an E4 with a new strap?

 

Yes...and an online e exclusive as well... they did the same thing with the F1 blue quartz chrono

 

Same here but price has dropped massively. Could an E5 be coming or are they getting ot of the smartwatch game ?

 

It's not even a new strap, orange has been available from the first day.

Does this count as my "new" release?
