For now though, lets talk about the performance, which has been great. I’ve subsequently used a Connected Calibre E4 with Wear OS 3, and in a later section talk about the experience.
#TAG HEUER CALIBRE 5 MANUAL UPDATE#
When I reviewed the Connected Calibre E4 it came with Google’s Wear OS 2 installed, but there is an update for Wear OS 3 available now.

The processor is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 4100+, there’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, but no option to buy a model with a 4G LTE mobile connection, and no ability to take calls either.
I had absolutely no problem viewing it in bright sunlight outside. Under the sapphire crystal is a 1.39-inch AMOLED screen with a 454 x 454 resolution, and it’s glorious - really bright and sharp. Tag Heuer Connected Calibre E4: screen and performance If you’re the opposite, the 45mm Connected Calibre E4 is the one for you. Neither are for shrinking violets, as the 42mm version is hardly tiny, but if you want your smartwatch to fly a little under the radar, then that’s the one to choose. The 45mm model attracts attention, whereas the 42mm version is a little more subtle. It’s a smartwatch people will notice, not just because of the size, but also because of the big, bright screen that really shows off the fantastic Tag Heuer watch faces. The 42mm version gets the balance of presence and everyday wearability just right, and while I do appreciate the 45mm model will easily dominate small wrists, it’s more purposeful, more impactful, and an absolute statement piece on your wrist. Instead, think of it as the “in your face” version, because this is where the two models really differ. But it’s crucial not to think of this as the “big” Connected Calibre E4. I like the solidity of the Connected Calibre E4 45mm, it’s an obviously luxurious product, and I think it looks superb, even if it is pretty big. The crown is covered in rubber to make it easier to rotate and scroll through the menus, plus the pushers have a dampened motion, so they feel less like buttons.
You can get the 45mm smartwatch with a metal bracelet if the rubber version doesn’t feel upmarket enough, but I’d give this one a try before you make that decision. It’s also simple and fast to adjust at any time, making it very easy to live with.

The perforated rubber strap with Tag Heuer’s fantastic folding clasp is very comfortable, more so than the full rubber version that was fitted to the 42mm Connected Calibre E4 that I previously wore. However, Tag Heuer doesn’t really push sleep tracking as a key feature. It’s 115 grams, so more than twice that of an Apple Watch Series 8 with a Braided Solo Loop strap, and that makes it uncomfortable to wear overnight. It’s actually the weight that’s more noticeable.
Is it too big? It’s on my 6.5-inch wrist in the photos, and I don’t think it looks ridiculous, but there’s no doubt it’s a big smartwatch. The polished bezel glints in the sun, and the screen is set right up against the sapphire crystal for a very watch-like look.

The finish on the stainless steel puts the very ordinary-looking titanium on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro to shame, as it combines both a sand-blasted-like texture with highly polished sections for real visual appeal. It looks and feels like a luxury product should. The 45mm case of the Tag Heuer Connected Calibre E4 is made from stainless steel, and so is the folding clasp, while the bezel is ceramic.

The new software has transformed the experience. Review update July 2023: The 45mm Tag Heuer Connected Calibre E4’s review score was bumped up to an 8/10 and received a Recommended Product Award after we revisited a version of the smartwatch with Google’s Wear OS 3 installed. It turns out that thinking only about size is the wrong way to approach these two smartwatches, and will not help you make a decision about which one to buy.
