The TAG Heuer Connected Android Wear watch now comes in Rose Gold and costs $9,900

In 2015, high-end watchmaker TAG Heuer launched its Connected lineup of smartwatches, with Android Wear installed. Now the TAG Heuer Connected comes in a new Rose Gold version, but be prepared to pay for this addition; it costs a whopping $9,900.

This new rose gold variant of the watch comes with a case and lugs that are made of 18K rose gold. That’s the reason why it’s priced at nearly $10,000. All of the other editions of the TAG Heuer Connected are priced at “just” $1,500.

Aside from the fact that you are wearing real gold around your wrist with this version of the watch, the Connected is basically the same device that TAG Heuer released a year ago.  Along with Android Wear, the 1.5-inch circular LTPS LCD display has a resolution of 360 x 360 and a pixel density of 240ppi. Inside, it comes with an 1.6GHz dual-core Intel processor, 1GB of RAM and 4GB of on-board storage, along with a 410mAh battery for at least 25 hours of use. TAG Heuer has a number of watch faces to choose from for Connected owners, including some for fitness fans to monitor their step count, calorie count and more.

As you might expect, TAG Heuer is not selling this rose gold version of the Connected watch online. You will need to go to a real brick-and-mortar store to see it and purchase it. You can check out a list of locations at the Connected website. Would you spend nearly five figures on a gold version of an Android Wear smartwatch? Tell us your thoughts in the comments.
