A fancy smartwatch is tense, there’s no denying it. Generally speaking, luxury is long-lasting or at least permanent. Unlike smartwatches, whose function, performance and significance all have a looming expiration date, new-generation technology will eventually bring about the demise of smartwatches.
However, tension can lead to innovation. In the luxury smartwatch market, pioneers have explored methods to elevate the concept in a push for uniqueness and originality. The price of the Apple Watch, the most expensive smartwatch on the market, is sometimes cast into the shadows by premium smartwatches. As a reward, you’ll receive the reassurance of a distinguished dial name, premium materials, and a limited supply. Here are three of the best-looking luxury smartwatches available on the market.
Tag Heuer Connected Caliber: In 2015, the brand released the Connected, the first luxury smartwatch. With tech-savvy 27-year-old Frédéric Arnault at the helm, Tag Heuer will strive to stay at the category vanguard. In that vein, the fourth-generation Connected Caliber E4 has just winked into existence. Available in 45mm or 42mm stainless steel or titanium with a wide choice of leather and rubber straps and a pin-sharp hi-def screen, it’s equipped with exclusive algorithms to improve your athletic performance. Completing the Connected halo are seven-minute workouts and golf mapping software.
Louis Vuitton Tambour Light Up: The Parisian house’s non-conformist excursion into smartwatches continues with the Tambour Light Up, a smartwatch driven by a custom operating system that focuses on travel and personalization. Owners can customize the home screen and swipe left for boarding passes and local information. On activation, the watch’s “Blossom” function sends a rainbow of color throughout the dial and into the 24 LED lights behind its Monogram Ring. The sapphire cloth that spills over the dial border makes it look smaller than 44mm.
Hublot Big Bang: Hublot’s luxury smartwatch, the Big Bang e, combines linked connectivity with one of the 21st century’s most iconic watch designs. There are football-themed versions, ordinary collection models, and a pair studded with diamonds, like this one. Under its titanium veneer is Google’s Wear OS, which includes Google Assistant, Google Pay, and a plethora of apps. There’s no sassier way to check out at the supermarket.
