路Hi All, I have a brand new, unstickered, untouched SBF8A001.11FT6076.
Bought new in 2018.
I'm discharging then recharging the battery every couple of months.
is this the best way to keep the watch in pristine working condition.
Hoping it may be collectable in the future as this is the only connected model made in TAG's La Chaux-de-Fonds workshop, qualifying it as Swiss Made.

Nice one! 馃憤
I think to keep the battery in good shape is better to store it at 80% (not at 100%), and just check the battery level every couple of months, charging it up to 80% again if necessary (battery could be around 75-79% after two months stored). That way you do not waste battery charge cycles, which is each complete charge and discharge

I think E2 Modular 45 is certainly the most collectible generation of the Connected, for being the only Swiss Made, and for its great and unique Modular concept that guarantees the future beyond obsolescence, thanks to its three mechanical modules. For this reason, both complete and its accessories separately, it maintains high prices in the second-hand market.
In any case, I doubt that in the future you will be able to sell an E2 Modular 45 more expensive than it was new (as is the case with most TAG Heuer watches, which are more destined to enjoy than as an investment), except perhaps some of the Limited Editions as the Alec Monopoly (300 pcs) or the Giro d'Italia (101 pcs).
But who knows? Perhaps in the future a brand new -standard- E2 Modular 45 will be so difficult to find that it can also be sold at a price similar to -or higher- than what it cost new. It will also depend on whether -by software and hardware- it will continue to work fine as a smartwatch

路Yes I was diligent as well as lucky when I found this on eBay. It鈥檚 the fact that鈥檚 it鈥檚 the first ever Tag Heure smartwatch assembled in Switzerland that has the greatest appeal to me. Im lucky to own a Gen 1 with the extra titanium bracelet that again is in fantastic condition.
But as you stayed previously they are not modular.

Finally got a Cal. 16 module and some black lugs - bought a PVD Connected with PVD lugs & PVD bracelet in as-new condition, and an as-new Cal. 16 module with a used white strap (not pictured).
Our Chichester store used to be a TAG AD, and they had a brand-new Electric Blue strap just sitting in a box. Yoink.

路拢1280 for the Calibre 16 module (mint), Ti lugs (used), Ti deployant (used), White rubber strap (heavily soiled, but cleaned up fairly well).
~拢200 for VGC (barely worn) Ti bracelet, & Red/Orange/Green/White/Dark Blue/Black straps, with a lightly scratched Ti & PVD deployants (and sold my old Ti bracelet as it was better condition than mine, & the Red/Dark Blue/Black straps as they were duplicates).
~拢360 for mint condition PVD module, PVD lugs, PVD bracelet, PVD deployant, & black logo strap. I already have a PVD bracelet, so will be selling my old one.
I mostly see the Cal. 16 module listed around 拢3K, usually with a couple of straps, like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325875816030
