$1500 Tag Heuer SmartWatch

If you are little bit interested about watches you certainly know Tag Heuer, the watch maker which is very popular between us the young generations with theirs great looking watches, i personally love Tag Heuer watches never been a Rolex fan, anyway now Tag Heuer has smartwatch that many of us have been waiting for a while. SmartWatch is using Android system, it is swiss, cost $1500 and it is the answer to Apple Watch Gold which is cost $10.000. Price of the watch is cheap if you think about average price of the Tag Heuer watches. But still it is first android watch which is over $1000, doubled the most expensive Android Watch that is exist today.

Watch can work with Android and IOS but some futures don’t when it used with an iPhone – Google says new future are on the way for iPhones.
So this ” Swiss engineered ” watch – company use this term for this smartwatch instead of using the term Swiss Made – watch built from grade 2 titanium, feels very solid, 46mm diameter display makes it one of the bigger watches out in the market with its 1.5″ LCD display, also Google did some customizations for this watch like gray background instead of standard white. Watch looks like a real watch instead of a SmartWatch if you think these century we use watches for fashion or prestige and this make the Tag Heuer a good option in smartwatch market.
Still i personally think that smartwatches need more years to be desirable, young generation will accept smartwatch idea better than us, and companies need to make them more desirable with new futures which make people want them. If you considering to buy a SmartWatch Tag Heuer can be a great for you because of its manly look – i find Apple watch looks more feminine – , cheaper than Gold Apple Watch.
