You pay more for the Tag Heuer’s materials, but they’re genuinely worth it. A sleek sheen gives it class, and the view of the screen is always exceptional. Tag Heuer smartwatches use a thick piece of sapphire crystal over the screen, and it makes a massive difference to the way it looks. The black PVD finish is perfect when combined with the white leather strap, and a contrasting watch face. The Connected Modular 45 Golf Edition is made from titanium, so it’s very light and highly durable, complete with a ceramic bezel which will stop the numbers and script on it fading over time. There’s a real benefit to buying this version if you’re a golfer. It’s a significant bonus, and refreshingly separates the Tag Heuer smartwatch from other so-called special editions.
