    thanks for the video. i was happy to see this watch review.
    was also happy to see Tag update the E3 with some of the new faces.
    E3 is also 5ATM.
    calculating the calories and actual steps improvement would be interesting. i can answer the phone all day with the E3 and hit my steps.
    i'm personally going to keep the E3 and then buy the new bracelet for date night. I prefer the silver bezel over the black.
    My experience i get a solid day and half battery out of my watch. screen brightness turned down. Not many people bother me all day and i don't have all notifications turned on other than text and calls. I don't use watch to the fullest capability other than weather tag fit
    i'm personally going to keep the E3 and then buy the new bracelet for date night. I prefer the silver bezel over the black.
    I think i'd buy an E4 if they come out with a 2 tone. gold or rose gold and stainless, then i'd be ok with black bezel or a bluesy would be legit
    Just my thoughts

    Nice review Doug but you know it’s a smart watch we don’t even know if TAG Heuer do replace this watch for a real carrera for a certain amount like they did in the past. What I don’t like about smart watch there getting obsolete fast.

    • @DougFNJ
      @DougFNJ  Рік тому

      Thanks Michel. Tag no longer does that exchange, that was only generation 1. Gen 2 they made it so you could swap out the smartwatch and mechanical in the actual case. E3 was pure smartwatch, no replacement for real Carrera, and that’s the same with e4.
      Regarding obsolete, it’s only obsolete if the features are no longer relevant to the user. I’ve always looked at the term obsolete as very subjective.

      Battery life remains severely inferior to Galaxy. You need to carefully monitor what you turn on to get a day out of it. If you are using fitness tracker or GPS, you can kill it in 6 hours.

    Don't get me wrong, what's not to love about the look of the Calbre E4, but anyone with sense would simply buy Garmin's Epix gen 2, Fenix 7 or a Apple series 7.
    I was close to buying a Calibre E4 but I found out that you need your phone nearby to listen to music. You cannot save music to the watch to listen offline like you can with Garmin. And if you are out hiking or riding on trails, you better hope your phone doesn't die because the E4 will then lose it's GPS connectivity. Lastly, the battery life won't last more than 20 hours. You'd think that Tag Heuer would at least include solar charging for the price they're charging. It's a rip off if you ask me

    • @DougFNJ
      @DougFNJ  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks for taking time for the comment Sea Capt. it all comes down to brand of course, and preferred platform. I have a black titanium Epix 2, it definitely looks very similar to this, you could even interchange the straps. 2 totally different experiences. Epix 2 is born and made for fitness. It is not intuitive, and if I didn’t enjoy learning new operating systems and how to work with it, I would have returned it. Apple Watch and WearOS, you could pick up with very little knowledge on how to work with them, and you’ll figure it out pretty fast and easy. Garmin, you definitely need the manual. The information it produces on activities is incredible! But it’s not an easy watch to work with.
      I’m planning on doing a few videos with comparisons of the different platforms, and that will include a direct comparison of the E4 and Epix 2.
      I personally love the Apple Watch, but it doesn’t look like a watch, and the battery life is the same as E4. It’s the best experience that works with the iPhone, but a different watch altogether.
      Great input, thank you again.

      @@DougFNJ thanks for the reply. I would love to see that comparison. I'm.sure the interface is as you say, more intuitive with the Calibre E4.

      @@megane230f1 Tag Connected is not for everyone. My Epix2 finally arrived. It’s a fantastic watch. The battery life is really impressive, it looks great, and nobody comes close the detailed fitness information it gives you after any activity. BUT, it’s also not for everyone. The operating system is not intuitive, there is a HUGE learning curve. The faces offer good information, but they are limited in the aesthetics. Mine is the black Titanium Sapphire edition which is plastic sandwiched with thin titanium covers. Garmin is more fitness oriented. Not everyone wants a smartwatch for the health and fitness characteristics.
      Tag Connected is in my opinion the best alternative to the Apple Watch. It’s got a high quality build and design. The faces are outstanding, and it’s similar in fitness tracking as the Apple Watch. I’ll be doing a smartwatch comparison including the Apple Watch, the E4, and the Garmin. All great watches.
