·Do you think the upgrade from an E3 to an E4 is worth it?
I think it may be. Mainly due to the better battery and then the update to Wear OS 3.
I know you're not a fan of the Crown but I don't mind it.
The 42mm version is nice with the bezel under the glass but I found it a bit small on the wrist.
That could be because I'm used to the 45mm though. The strap on 42mm is totally different to 45mm and I prefer the 45 strap.

·Is any smart watch worth a starting price of 1800 pounds ? No , I’m my view. I bought all of my gen 2 collection at 30 to 50 percent off retail. I would never pay retail for a watch, especially a high end smart watch.

·If the E4 had a cellular modem it would be more justifiable. Aside from the processor and the improved battery on the 45mm model, there's not much of an upgrade.
+ Bluetooth 5 and a brighter display. Already a bunch of improvements imho. LTE ? don't really care as I never use it on my Apple Watch...

·I just bought the steel bracelet for the E4 thinking it would fit my E3, think I have messed up badly and this sounds silly but anyone know how to install the steel bracelet? Can’t get it to click over the bar? Expensive mistake for the week I fear!

·You should return it as E4 bands are not (fully) compatible with E3...

·Thanks! Looks like I will have to. It feels like it should work but unfortunately not

·By the way where did you find the steel bracelet for E4 as on Tag's website, it shows unavailable until March 10th ?

·Let me order from the website and took just over a week to get here. Pretty disappointed that they still sell the E3 but they took all the straps down that go with it. If the new straps were compatible it would make sense. It’s just a bar attachment! Will have to hunt for a jewellers with stock laying around!

Did you ask your AD if they could order the Gen3 bracelet for you?

·Update, Tag confirmed other comment above, not compatible. Have asked around legacy bands. Wonder whether the 2020 owners will get the new faces, fitness app upgrades etc when the new watch comes out tomorrow or another new set of apps for the 2022 and we have to wait! Could learn a lot from apple around customer experience and smart watches!

I got my Strap delivered today for the E4.
Luckily I have 3 straps from E3 that will fit.
$300 isn't cheap for a similar strap to E3.

Lucky you ! How is the strap for Gen 4 ? Does it feel any better than the Gen 3 version one or would you recommend still getting the Gen 3 ?
Thanks

Is it just me who thinks that it looks like a cheaper copy of Huawei watch 3 pro? Don't see a lot of improvements either. Anyway, I'm sticking with Huawei 3 pro, Garmin 6X pro and TH Gen 3 (which is highly impractical compared to others considering the battery life).

Gen 4 strap feels a little more flexible to me and the locking mechanism is slightly different to Gen 3. Overall I would get Gen 3 as it's way cheaper. Gen 4 won't fit properly on Gen 3 anyway.

Thank you. Having ordered the Gen 4 I was wondering if I should order an orange Gen 3 or Gen 4 strap...
