Tag Heuer Calibre Connected E5: New smartwatch spotted in initial photo

Just yesterday, it was announced that a new smartwatch, the Tag Heuer Calibre Connected E5, would be unveiled tomorrow. A teaser photo of the smartwatch has now surfaced on the5krunner. It's a press photo showing the smartwatch on an athlete's arm. Accordingly, the watch is relatively small in the photo, and the resolution is quite low, but initial information about the device has already emerged. One thing is certain: The Tag Heuer Calibre Connected E5 will be available in at least one model variant with a rotating crown.

It's a round smartwatch; the photo released so far doesn't reveal any information about the panel used. The use of a microLED panel is possible, although it must be a touchscreen – the existing physical controls are unlikely to be sufficient for operation via buttons alone. Evidence of a microLED display comes indirectly and from information about a collaboration with AU Optronics. The photo itself shows that the heart rate can be displayed, so an optical sensor should be available.

It's very likely that Tag Heuer will install a modern SoC for the Calibre Connected E5, such as the Snapdragon W5 Gen 2. If so, it is likely to offer satellite communication capabilities, or at least support it in principle. However, the Tag Heuer Calibre Connected E5 is likely to serve a slightly different and more fashion-oriented target audience.
