Tag Heuer and Google’s Wear OS 3 update is compatible with all the Calibre E4 smartwatches, including the recently released Sport Edition, Golf Edition, and the Porsche special edition. Even then, expect the update to reach compatible smartwatches in sequence and not all at once. Your smartwatch will alert you when the update is ready, but it appears it won’t be fully released much before March 27. It’s important to understand that the Wear OS 3 update is so transformative that it will completely reset your smartwatch during the update process, due in part to the requirement to use the new companion app. Although it has not shared any more details about this feature, it indicates it’s just the first in a series of new features enabled by Wear OS 3 and the Tag Heuer Connected app. Tag Heuer will also include a new feature with the app called Tag Heuer Golf Full Shot Tracking, which includes shot detection, distance measurement, and shot recording. This all sounds quite familiar, as it’s a similar experience to the one we had with the Montblanc Summit 3, which was released with Wear OS 3 already installed. The companion app lets you customize the watch’s look and view data from all your stored activity sessions. It apparently will only take five minutes to set the newly updated smartwatch up. When the update is complete, you’ll have to delete the old Wear OS app on your phone and install a new Tag Heuer Connected app, as your smartwatch will use this to pair and sync with your phone.
