TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 review: 42mm vs 45mm

The discontinued TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 pairs Wear OS 3 with luxury-watch styling, but both sizes are rated for a full day rather than multi-day use. The 42mm is lighter; the 45mm has the larger display and battery, while fitness heart-rate readings have documented limitations.

The TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4 is a discontinued Wear OS 3 smartwatch that pairs luxury-watch styling with everyday smart features, but it is a one-day device rather than a serious endurance or training watch. The 42mm is lighter and less visually dominant; the 45mm has a larger display and battery, though both are relatively thick and need regular charging.

Choose between them for fit and display size, not for multi-day battery life or dependable workout heart-rate data. TAG Heuer’s US product pages mark both sizes discontinued, so check availability and software compatibility before buying.

TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E4: key differences

TAG Heuer lists the E4 with a Snapdragon Wear 4100+, AMOLED display with sapphire crystal, GPS/GNSS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, heart-rate sensor, compass, microphone, barometer, rotating crown, and two pushers. Exact specifications can vary by reference; check the particular model before purchase.

Design and choosing a size

The E4’s round case, sapphire-covered screen, rotating crown, and pushers give it a more conventional watch appearance than many rectangular smartwatches. The two sizes are not interchangeable in feel: the 42mm has the smaller screen and lower weight, while the 45mm offers more display area and a larger battery. Neither is especially slim: TAG Heuer’s published thickness figures are around 14mm for the 42mm and 15mm for the 45mm.

Pick the 42mm if a lighter, less prominent watch matters most. Pick the 45mm if you prefer a larger screen and want the larger battery. Try the exact reference on your wrist if possible; case diameter alone does not capture thickness or weight, and steel and titanium versions differ.

Software, compatibility, and setup

The E4 runs Wear OS 3, according to TAG Heuer’s current documentation. It is not waiting for a Wear OS 3 update. TAG Heuer’s stated minimum phone requirements are Android 8.1 or later, excluding Android Go, and iOS 15.4 or later; compatibility with later phone software can depend on the specific phone and app support.

Pair the watch using the E3/E4 TAG Heuer Connected app. TAG Heuer says the separate Wear OS phone app is not required for E4 pairing. A Google account is needed for app updates and access to all features. Google Wallet is listed as supported with Android, subject to country and bank eligibility, but not with iPhone. (Sources: TAG Heuer pairing FAQ; TAG Heuer software update guidance; TAG Heuer payments table.)

Battery life and charging

TAG Heuer rates both E4 sizes for a full day, not multi-day smartwatch use. Its stated test assumptions differ: the 42mm rating includes a one-hour sports session, while the 45mm rating includes several hours. The 45mm’s 440mAh battery is larger than the 42mm’s 330mAh battery, but that does not make it a multi-day watch. Actual runtime varies with brightness, always-on display, notifications, GPS, Wi-Fi, apps, charge-cycle age, and wellness monitoring. TAG Heuer claims a 1.5-hour full charge for both sizes. (Source: TAG Heuer product specifications.)

Fitness and health tracking

Preinstalled TAG Heuer apps include Sports, Golf, and Wellness. Sports covers activities such as running, cycling, fitness, swimming, and walking; Golf is handled separately. GPS distance in independent testing was broadly comparable with reference sports watches, but that does not establish equal performance in every condition.

Do not buy the E4 on the assumption that its workout heart-rate readings are consistently reliable. Independent testing reported material inaccuracies during exercise, and TAG Heuer warns that fit, position above the wrist bone, sensor cleanliness, sweat or water, tattoos, scars, and loose bracelets can affect readings. TAG Heuer says heart-rate measurement is disabled during swimming because moving water makes readings unreliable. Its native software reviewed by Wareable did not include sleep tracking; sleep tracking requires a third-party Wear OS app. (Sources: Wareable review; TAG Heuer heart-rate guidance; TAG Heuer product page.)

Water resistance

Both sizes are rated 50m / 5ATM. TAG Heuer says the watches may be worn in the shower, while swimming, and during surface watersports, but not water skiing, diving, or snorkeling. A 50m rating should not be read as permission to dive to 50 meters. (Source: TAG Heuer water-resistance FAQ.)

How it compares with alternatives

The E4 makes the most sense for someone who values TAG Heuer’s case design and watch styling and accepts Wear OS, daily charging, and more limited sports insight. Compare it with alternatives according to your phone and priorities, rather than assuming luxury materials make it the stronger smartwatch.

Priority What to consider
TAG Heuer styling and a traditional round-watch look Connected Calibre E4, if you can find the size and reference you want
iPhone integration and wrist payments The E4 can pair with iPhone, but TAG Heuer lists Google Wallet payments as Android-only
Training data and endurance Compare current sports watches directly; the E4 is rated for a full day and its workout heart-rate accuracy has documented limitations
Current product support and availability Check the seller and TAG Heuer’s compatibility guidance; both sizes are listed as discontinued on TAG Heuer’s US site

The existing comparison links point to product searches, not verified specifications; use them only to browse alternatives: Apple Watch Ultra and Samsung Galaxy Watch.

Verdict

The Connected Calibre E4 is a discontinued luxury smartwatch, not a current TAG Heuer model to assume is readily available. Its strongest case is design; its main compromises are one-day battery expectations, Wear OS dependence, and fitness limitations—especially workout heart-rate reliability and the lack of native sleep tracking in the software reviewed by Wareable.

The 42mm is the lighter, smaller-screen option; the 45mm is heavier, larger, and has a bigger battery and display. Choose based on how each reference wears, and verify its condition, phone compatibility, and support before purchasing.

Does the Calibre E4 run Wear OS 3?

Yes. TAG Heuer’s current documentation identifies the E4 as running Wear OS 3; claims that it is still waiting for that update are outdated. (Source: TAG Heuer software update guidance.)

Does Google Wallet work on the E4 with an iPhone?

No. TAG Heuer lists Google Wallet support for the E4 with Android, subject to country and bank eligibility, and not with iPhone. (Source: TAG Heuer payments table.)

Does the E4 track sleep or provide reliable workout heart-rate readings?

The native TAG Heuer software reviewed by Wareable did not include sleep tracking; a third-party Wear OS app is needed. Independent testing found workout heart-rate inaccuracies, and TAG Heuer lists several conditions that can affect readings. (Sources: Wareable review; TAG Heuer heart-rate guidance.)

How long does the E4 battery last?

TAG Heuer rates both sizes for a full day. The 42mm rating includes a one-hour sports session; the 45mm rating includes several hours. Runtime varies with settings and use, and neither rating promises multi-day smartwatch life. (Source: TAG Heuer product specifications.)

Can I swim with the Calibre E4?

TAG Heuer rates it 50m / 5ATM and permits swimming and surface watersports, but advises against diving, snorkeling, and water skiing. The rating is not a 50-meter diving depth. (Source: TAG Heuer water-resistance FAQ.)
