It’s evolved into something more, a shorthand for sports pedigree and precision. But for a long time the TAG Heuer Carrera has been about more than just sports timers. It’s easy to think of the Carrera as purely a collection of chronographs, as that complication is where its roots and, indeed, heart lies.

The smartwatch itself has all the features expected in such a watch, including fitness tracker, phone notifications, weather and even Google’s electronic personal assistant.
