Hands-on with the TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 Golf Edition

It was back in 2018 when we saw TAG Heuer release its first golf-focussed Connected watch. Since then, we have seen the fourth generation of the Connected surface last year with the new Connected Calibre E4 series, complete with the Calibre E4 movement and many improved features. Now it’s time to shine the spotlight on the newest edition – the TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 Golf Edition smartwatch. It seems this new TAG Heuer Connected watch could not be more golf-oriented. Practically putting the wearer on the field, its clean white rubber strap is dimpled to evoke the surface of a golf ball, matching the effect across the watch’s dial. This new TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 Golf Edition watch gives golf enthusiasts everything they need and more, with a built-in magnetic ball marker secured into a redesigned strap buckle and several advanced features for improving a golfer’s performance out on the fields.

As well as its new and enhanced golfing features, the new TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 Golf Edition watch comes implemented with a whole range of health and wellness apps, a selection of watch faces to choose from, and an improved battery life. Whether you’re planning to wear it on the golf course or every day of the week, TAG’s new version of the smartwatch has a striking aesthetic that’s going to look great over the summer months. High-resolution 2D maps with hazards and distances outlined across 40,000 golf courses across the globe are combined with new 3D mapping features. Overall, its versatile, comfortable and high-performance design is built so that wearers don’t want to take the watch off after a golf session.

A redesigned buckle with a difference

Here’s where the new TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 Golf Edition watch gets really interesting. As well as a whole host of golf-focussed features to explore, the buckle of this watch has also been redesigned to accommodate a special piece of golfing equipment. A built-in magnetic ball marker is now provided with the new golfing smartwatch. Eradicating the need to carry it by hand, the ball marker travels with the watch, freeing up the golfer’s hand to carry other equipment, and has been designed to slide easily from the wrist by popping it out in one movement. Easy to locate thanks to its bright white TAG Heuer emblazoned motif, the ball marker re-attaches with similar ease and incorporates back into the smooth, sleek design of the strap perfectly. Plus, TAG Heuer is giving you a spare one inside the case for good measure!

Want to improve your game? Now you can…

The new TAG Heuer Connected E4 Golf Edition enables you to stay ahead of your game with a new precise 3D mapping technology. Alongside this, you get to enjoy statistical analysis, shot tracking and driving zone features. The Shot Tracking and Driving Zone features alone let you see your previous tee shots so that you can play strategically to refine your aim. You can measure your shots with more accuracy by activating the upper pusher on the smartwatch to achieve useful data to improve your game. Tailored metrics can now track your stokes, plus your shot distance can also be measured as you walk to the ball. Simply select the right club you need to enhance your performance using these new metrics. Alas, you can also deactivate this feature during tournaments if you need to. The Driving Zone feature also shows where your shots have landed by activating a heat map for each hole. After a while, this technology enables you as the wearer to correlate the data and look to improve what is working and change what is not. Your game experience can now be smoother than ever with a Statistics and Scoreboard feature that keeps a score of every round, showing it in either stableford, match play or stroke play format. Lastly, the 3D technology and iOS app can now produce a video to show off all your best shots, enabling you to share it with your golfing friends.

With more screen area to enjoy, the new TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 Golf Edition watch provides all the vital information for the game plus more details like club information, scores, hole numbers and distances, along with a wider map view. The distance to target and distance of the tracking shot is now displayed simultaneously – a key feature that TAG Connected fans requested in previous years. You can also see the entire layout of the hole by using the crown to navigate up and down on the screen for better viewing.

New watch faces

Exclusive to the Connected Calibre E4 Golf Edition, users can enjoy a beautiful golf-inspired green watch face. Other options include the aforementioned dimpled watch face that mirrors the texture of a golf ball’s surface, plus several classic Connected watch faces from previous models that have now been redesigned to better suit the golfing theme of the watch. These include watch faces based on real TAG Heuer wristwatches, but re-skinned in the golfing green colour. 

Other features of the new TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 Golf Edition

The new TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 Golf Edition watch measures a 45mm diameter and is crafted from sandblasted black DLC-coated titanium for a lightweight finish on the wrist. A flat sapphire crystal glass front protects the watch’s OLED high-resolution display and is surrounded by a black ceramic 18 scale bezel to be used as a scoreboard with coloured segments that make it easy to see if you’re on, above or below par. As with other TAG Heuer Connected watches from the Calibre E4 series, the watch can promise a 30% longer battery life. A full day of battery life can be enjoyed on top of five hours of using the golf functions. Thanks to Bluetooth 5.0, syncing all your results to your phone is easy and quick.

As mentioned, a spare ball marker is supplied with the purchase of this new golf smartwatch from TAG Heuer, alongside three extra Titleist balls, an additional black rubber strap and a metallized QR code that comes in the new white soft-touch finish of the packaging, enabling you to get set up and running straight away, pairing it with your phone for the first time. 

Lastly, all the health and wellness apps of the much-loved TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 watch can be enjoyed in the new Golf Edition model. These include; Running, Cycling, Swimming, and Fitness facilities, as well as Alarm, Stopwatch and Timer micro-apps, alongside heart rate, compass, accelerometer, gyroscope, NFC, microphone, and barometer sensors.
