Tag Heuer has launched a new version of its Calibre E4 smartwatch, in a collaboration with Malbon – a Swedish golf fashion brand.
It’s pretty much a stock Calibre E4, but refined with Malbon special edition watch faces, green and yellow detailed on the 45mm case, and a green and yellow blended leather and rubber strap.
Tag Heuer launches a Golf edition of each of its smartwatches, characterized by 1-18 etched onto the bezel, and access to its (excellent) Tag Heuer Golf app. This edition will be sold in limited editions in the US and South Korea.

It’s certainly an eye-catching and stylish collaboration – but it also highlights that the Tag Heuer Connected is overdue an update.
Under the hood is a last-gen Qualcomm Snapdragon 4100+ processor, which has now been usurped by the W5+ – and the watch itself is powered by Wear OS 3.
It packs a good quality AMOLED 1.2-inch 416x416 display, and there’s GPS built-in, which is essential for getting those all-important pin distances, and also running and outdoor tracked workouts.
Battery life is the main downside, which is a single day.
It’s set to cost 2,600 CHF, which works out to around $3,000.
Of course, you could pick up a top-of-the-line Garmin Approach S70 (which is an incredible golf watch) or even a Marq 2 Golfer and still have change for an Apple Watch Ultra 2. But where’s the fun in that?
