The Tag Heuer Calibre Connected E5 is a new smartwatch of which the first image has now surfaced. While certain information can be considered confirmed, precise technical specs are still lacking.
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.
The wearable should also appeal to athletes. (Image source: Tag Heuer, via the5krunner)
I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
