Tag Heuer is set to launch a high-end Android-powered smartwatch in the coming months. The Carrera Connected is expected to be made of titanium with six interchangeable watch bands. It will also be available for purchase in the United States at a $1500 price tag.
The Tag Heuer Carrera Connected is believed to function like that of the Apple Watch, but will remain a private and luxury product. The well-known Swiss watch company has partnered with Intel and Google to produce this top-of-the-line smartwatch.
According to Jean-Claude Biver, the Chief Executive Officer of Tag Heuer, the new design of their latest Android Wear is a way of making one with the future. He also announced their first-ever smartwatch by stating, "We are incredibly proud to be unveiling the first connected watch, which brings more than 150 years of history firmly into the future. The TAG Heuer Connected watch gives you the means not only to connect to the future, but also to connect to eternity."
Running on Google's Android Wear operating system, the Carrera Connected sports a 46mm sapphire crystal display with 240ppi resolution. It is also water-resistant, made with premium materials, and includes textured rubber straps and a titanium case. The strap comes in different color options, such as orange, black, green, blue, red, and yellow.
On the other hand, the luxury smartwatch is able to work in some iOS-based applications, including the basic stuff as well as sending messages. In terms of its design, it still keeps the company's conventional analog style and it was inspired by Tag Heuer's Carrera Calibre line.
Furthermore, it supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections. It has 1GB of RAM, 410mAh battery, 4GB of internal storage, as well as wind and weather monitoring.
On the whole, the Tag Heuer Carrera Connected is expensive, but is absolutely of highest quality. Since the company is known for its luxurious watches, it is no surprise that its first Android Wear will be priced at $1500. However, if people are willing to splurge on it, then it is totally worth buying for.
