Swiss luxury watchmaker Tag Heuer has unveiled the 'Connected Bright Black Edition' smartwatch, the latest installment to the brand's ultra-luxe 'Connected' line.
The sleek new timepiece presents a sophisticated black and gold upgrade. The 45mm watch is crafted using DLC Grade 2 titanium and features Wear-OS technology, a 1.39-inch OLED display, 50M water resistance, and various intelligent sensors, including an accelerometer and a heart rate monitor. In addition, the watch can pair with the 'Tag Heuer Sport' app, which allows users to track their performance data across a wide range of sports and activities.
Design-wise the timepiece presents an exceptionally classy look boasting a black mirror-polished ceramic bezel with gold lacquer, black steel push buttons, and a black steel crown. A nice touch, the DLC Grade 2 titanium used on the watch's body is sandblasted, giving it an attractive matte finish.
