Okay, well. To be honest about it, the reason is my wife likes watches so I am quite interested in women's watches. Not so much the run of the mill ones with MOP dials, but certainly the more unusual ones like her green Aquaracer, the purple Carrera and the Bella Hadid Link and the historical models. We include them because I write about new women's watches when they are released and I occasionally write about historical women's watches (generally ones my wife has collected, but some others too).
On the other hand I have purposely stayed away from writing about the Connected on my blog because I do not know anything about it. I would not be able to write 'First Impressions' posts for the Connected, what would I say? I don't even know what they do, it would be pointless... I have written about it once when I tried one on at Bicester Village and I think that's probably about it.
Bluntly, the WOTY is for and therefore defined by the content of the TAG Heuer Enthusiast blog, not the forum. Hence the Connected is not included.
Also FYI not all members of the COCO are male.
On the other hand, the Connected crew are more likely to vote for 45mm skeleton dial Carreras so maybe we should get them on board.
