Hi Mike,
I don't wear a watch around the home or office but do when I am out and about and yesterday was the first full day or wearing it.
Its the Modular 45 and I have to admit that I am getting rather attached to it, although it was designed around integration with Android, it works remarkably well with my iPhone.
Although you can't upload contacts or calendar to it, that isn't a problem as it takes everything from your phone anyway.
Texts messages, apps, news, weather notifications etc. this is what I got after enquiring about some of the functions in an email from Tag: -
Unfortunately when paired with an IOS device you cannot interact with the contacts function on the watch and any calendar information can only be pulled from a Gmail account.
I have included below a list of things that you can do when paired to an IOS device.
Once you've paired your TAG Heuer Connected (running Android Wearâ„¢ 2.0) with your iOS iPhone (running 9+), you'll be able to enjoy:
Google Play Storeâ„¢ access
You'll have access to the Google Play Store directly from the TAG Heuer Connected Modular 45mm and the TAG Heuer Connected 46mm, so you can install new apps and watch faces using your watch. To access the Google Play Store, log in or register with your Google account first.
Wi-Fi - Bluetooth
iOS users will have access to the watch's Wi-Fi function. You can get social media, email and apps notifications directly to your watch, and you can search online too.
You can also connect your watch to bluetooth devices such as headset, HRM monitor and many others.
Apps
As an iOS user, you can enjoy a range of pre-loaded apps: Fit, Translate, Android Pay*, Google Play Music, Torch, Alarm, Timer and Stopwatch. You can download more through the Google Play Store.
Notifications
You can see notifications, including applications notifications (make sure you enable the "show in notification center" on your iPhone) and reply to your Gmail after enabling "rich e-mail cards" in the settings of Android Wear app.
Voice commands
iOS users can use voice command for the following apps:
• Calculator
• Dictionary
• Calendar
• Weather
• Step count
• Alarm
• Timer
• Stopwatch
• Reminders
iOS users can also use voice commands to:
• Open an app
• Start a bike ride, run or workout
• Take a note
Android Pay*: Currently available in the US and UK
It might not do everything that yours can do, but there again that's what my phone was for.
I have to admit that whilst in the gents yesterday it was rather alarming to have an alert by vibration on my wrist whilst having a leak, the imagination of what you could do with that doesn't bear a thought
One of the things they never mentioned is that when in your car, it will control your music automatically, that was an unexpected surprise.
I'm finding it very comfortable and although it is a big watch it feels remarkably light.
So far it's a thumbs up, but the £900 for the ceramic strap and a further £1050 for the fittings is taking the pish a bit, well a bloody lot!
