and how do you squeeze both a mechanical watch and the necessary chips, circuit boards, battery, electronics screens, to run android wear and last all day??? they didn't think this through very well... I predict a major major flop. and as usual the insecure fandroid engadget editors, mods, commenters are now saying the opposite of what they said about the apple edition watch. now all of a sudden it's ok to pay thousands for a 'smart watch'. hahahaha TagH going from low mid tier 'luxury' watch to low-end junk that won't sell.
I noticed a video the other day on one of the other Apple fan sites showing an AndroidWear smartwatch taking a call from an iPhone. I think eventually, and perhaps sooner than later, AndroidWear may be generally compatible with iPhones.
By the way I ran across this article pointing out the some of the things an Apple Watch can do that an Android one can't. Good read.
Here's another showing an iPhone connected to an Android Wear based smartphone
Only takes the phone call which is nothing more than just a Bluetooth speaker on the wrist. When we say about iPhone compatibility, it's about other features like health/fitness tracking, payments, notifications and such. Android watch with iPhone? Only dumb iPhone users actually do that.
The GTR smokes any Aston because of its all-wheel drive and supercomputer launch control system NOT because of its engine. GTR is easy mode, Astons are for people who enjoy cars. There is no such thing as a classy rice burner so his anology actually is fitting, which is putting some something non-classy (Android) into something real watch people enjoy (Tag).
Exactly. I'd rather drive, say, a DBS all day, despite the fact that the GTR may be faster. In the end, it's still a Nissan, whereas Aston has heritage and brand cachet.
$100,000+ for a Datsun is insane.

And the R34 engine could easily push 1000 hp. So yes it is about the engine also.
Also Toyota and BMW will share the same engine for the Z4/Supra. So that throws your theory right out of the window

I think Tag will supply the case and style while Google/Android/Intel will supply the guts!
It looks like TAG Heuer finally woke up to the strategic risk the Apple Watch is bringing to their industry. It's a shame about the Google Gear partnership, though.
They're going to have the same Android issues. Look, Intel is supply these chips, Google is doing the software, and you really have 3+ company's trying to design and compete against the Apple watch that's was all done in house. The CPU designed by Apple along with everything else has been done by Apple.
If took them Apple to announce Prices on it's Apple Watches before TAG goes and says anything. Wow, big risk takers!!! Android is associated with CHEAP. Which is another reason why I thing the new S6 and S6 Edge will fail. Way to much money for a Android user. Well the same holds true with Watches. Now you're relying on other company's!!!! It's still a race to the bottom in prices. What's going to change?
I think Datsun was just a US name. In Panama they were always Nissan, back as far as I can remember, like mid-sixties.
Nup - We had Datsun in Australia . There were some classics:
Sorry my mistake. I asked my brother about this and it turns out I was mistaken. We did have Datsuns in Panama. Only the trucks were Nissan which is what we had. Nice 60s era SUV, 4 wheel drive Nissan Patrol. Where we lived, there were mostly trucks because it was rural and the roads were mostly gavel or worse. Now, of course, everything is modern.

What's going to change? I predict (along with many others) Android Wear compatibility with iPhones, meaning Tag Hueuer playing nice with iOS users.

Clever ...
But this type of watch would not compete head to head with ALL of the features of the ?Watch. It would likely incorporate fitness sensors, and other basic aspects, like unlocking doors, payment systems, etc. to interface with your smartphone and not necessarily be about notifications. Surprising as it may seem, not everyone is interested in that kind of constant connection on their wrist -- it's nice to be able to put the phone away sometimes.
However, the Swiss watchmakers products rival that of Apple's in build quality. They're the first competitor who has that kind of dedication to detail and ergonomic aptitude, not to mention a high sense of style. If they were to bring the right engineering talent into the fold, just as Apple brought in the right fashion talent, who knows. Imagine if they developed a crystal that was translucent when the smartwatch was not engaged, but turned into an opaque display when activated. The best of both worlds, and a solution that Apple need to pursue.

Then they might have a puncher's chance.

EDIT: Found at least one of the videos. Not sure this is the one I had seen earlier. This iPhone isn't jail-broken either.

TAG does not understand that their watches will be stuck with android phones and users even if they try to tag on Apple's coat tail.
iOS users will buy the Apple Watch.
They should try licensing their their watch faces out.
Luxury Watch - Android users? Something's wrong with that picture.

Calling it a rice burner is not racist.
Nissan owns Datsun brand and is still using it for emerging markets, if I remember correctly.
considering the demographics of android users
most will think TAG Heuer is a zipper brand a game on google play and can't pronounce it
a quick way to cheapen your brand
connect with people that never heard, saw, fitted or even read a magazine with ad for TAG Heuer
wow all those analysts saying apple watch will fail.......why all following??
gee can't wait for the 2 for 1 sale
