Whadya think?

it looks fantastic in person! i was at the launch event and watched the interview with biver. Remarkable persona. It is also a great deal if you consider that you can trade it in for a mechanical tag (for an added 1.5k, but lots of tags retail for 3k)

It says Swiss Engineered... made in...China?

I think it's the first watch of it's kind that doesn't suck total balls... I might try one. I really dig being able to change the dials and use Google's Fitness app to hate myself even more.

I'm REALLY liking it, despite the fact the reason I like watches is because of the mechanics, being an engineer... But this is great all around (except for the lack of a mechanical movement)... Titanium, large diameter, multiple watch faces/functions/colors.

Now, if it's waterproof, I'm getting one!

Edit: oops... just read splash-proof IP67 rating :-S

Any idea what the pricing will be like?

If it's sitting in the £1,000+ area, I'd rather just buy a mechanical legit Tag...

I still think I'd rather have a proper watch...

Looks okay, but how long before its out of date and almost worthless. That's the big problem with technology, it's obsolete within a few months. At least my Seamaster will become classic (well maybe), but these sure won't. What are the apps that you actually need in a watch anyway. Still, having said all that I do quite fancy one myself!

It's NOT made on China, that's [censored]. It says Swiss engineered because the electronics are obviously not made in Switzerland and the 'Swiss made' label is quite restrictive. The non electronic part are Swiss made and the watch is still assembled in Switzerland.

Problem is, 'immersion' means the watch was lowered (carefully) into water to 1m deep for 30 minutes.

The mere act of flopping your hands around in, swimming, and god forbid jumping into the water would almost definitely cause it to leak :-(

IP67 just ain't good enough for swimming and probably even not waterproof enough for having some good fun with the missus in a hot tub, but OK for showering and washing dishes.

My take also, just putting it out there.

I just don't see the point in spending a thousand quid on something to reduce the immense exertion of putting my hand in my pocket and looking at my phone...

a second hand gen Tag Heuer will hold its value better than this technology device. 

Maybe im just being boring haha
