The main difference between the Tag heuer connected modular 41 and 45 is the size, besides that, there are no much differences between these two, they both look sophisticated, elegant and built with the finest materials in the industry. The Modular 41 has a smaller 41mm case size while Modular 45 has a 45mm case size. It is bigger and bulkier. In addition the Modular 41 has a thickness size of 13.2mm while Modular 45 has a thickness size of 13.7mm.
Looking closer at the outward appearance, you will notice that the Modular 41 bezel is curved outwards while that of Modular 45 is curved inwards. Which is more beautiful? depends on your preference and choice.
The battery life between these two are almost similar. Though Modular 41 has a slightly longer battery life perhaps because of the higher version of chipset, increased RAM size that increases the battery efficiency and the smaller screen. Well on regular usage with the Modular 41 you get about a day of batter life easily while with Modular 45 it’s a little less, but will serve a day on a single charge.
