In 2015, TAG Heuer became part of the Android Wear family with a smartwatch of their own. The company well-known for their premium watches, later released several models of its original Android Wear offering to fit different audiences. All of them reportedly hit home despite the rocket high price tags Android Wear shoppers aren’t normally accustomed too.

According to a reporter who spoke with TAG Heuer’s CEO Jean-Claude Biver, the company will launch yet another Android Wear smartwatch in 2017. Like New Balance who collaborated with Intel on the RunIQ smartwatch, TAG Heuer seems to be going down a similar route. The company plans to use the same if not a similar Intel processor in their upcoming wearable, which remains to be confirmed.

As far as specs go, sources claim that the watch will be smaller in overall size. The watch is also expected to include various sensors such as GPS, for tracking fitness activity without the need of your smartphone, and NFC, to be used for mobile payments. If executed properly, this could be one of the first Android Pay compatible smartwatches. TAG Heuer is also expected to provide a boost in battery life on its upcoming model. Expect it to cost a pretty penny.
