TAG Heuer Connected Calibre E5 x New Balance — Full overview
TAG Heuer has unveiled the Connected Calibre E5 in a standout New Balance Edition featuring a bold purple-and-green colorway (fans note an Evangelion Unit‑01 vibe). The watch pairs TAG Heuer’s luxury finish with a sporty, sneaker‑inspired strap and promises solid outdoors performance.
Key specs

- GPS: Dual‑band (improved positioning accuracy)

What to know
The New Balance Edition emphasizes style and running features — it ships with several New Balance training plans (10K, marathon options), “gamified prompts” and post‑run analytics. The biggest caveat is the watch runs a brand‑new, not‑widely‑tested OS, so software maturity and app support remain to be seen.
