Ticwatch E2 Review- The Compact Smartwatch For You!
For generations over, humans have always sought companions that are loyal and relentless. These have come in many forms from dragons to dogs to modern-day robots. But let it be clear that time has been man’s closest friend since the beginning of time. Since the invention of clocks in the 15th century, the account of time has been a factor that can neither be ignored nor suppressed.
The very first watches were purely mechanical devices powered by a winding mainspring that turned precisely designed gears and kept time using a rotating balance wheel. The quartz crisis emerged in the 1980s and electric watches were born. Technology advanced even further and now, we have smartwatches that are precisely smart.
Many stakeholders have flooded in the field with dozens of brands manufacturing or co-producing smart-watches; which raises a question on integrity and quality of the millions of products we see online or in stores around every block. Well, I’m telling you to dump everything else and buy the TicWatch E2. With a dozen reasons why.
For starters, the all-new Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 2100 chipset provides for precise time accuracy and double the power from its predecessor. Mobvoi claims the E2 can go up to four days on a full battery, which is something nice, considering the poor battery life of a majority of competitors. Inside the smartwatch is 512MB of RAM that allows for easy navigation on the interface with no lags or glitches like the sister TicWatch S2; which was released in the same period. The temporary memory capacity is a little displeasing compared to its competitors; the Huawei Watch 2(768MB); and Samsung Galaxy Watch(1.5GB); both of which are quadruple E2’s price.
E2 boasts an enormous 4 Gigabytes of internal storage that is enough for hosting apps and music tracks. Bluetooth technology has been double-brushed in the second edition TicWatch, allowing for multiple connectivities and concedes VPN security as well.
Now to the technology goodies, tracking on the E2 is enhanced with pinpoint GPS integrated with google maps that allow you to geographically track your runs, cycles, or swims. Wear Operating System 2.0 powered by google is standard on the E2, but unlike smartphones, it cannot be customized by co-manufactures, which means the on-screen experience is the same across all devices. Setting up the Wear OS is pretty simple. All you need is to do is download the operating system on both your smartphone and smartwatch. Truth be told; you’ll experience better functionality on Android than iOS. If you love your luxurious iPhone so much then just go for any Apple watch but be warned, you might need to break the bank. Of course, you have Google assistant on the TicWatch and a whole bunch of other fitness features, including the heartbeat pace sensor fitted right on your wrist artery.
5ATM water resistance comes standard on the E2, allowing you to swim as deep as the watch can allow. Sadly though, near-field communication (NFC) is not available on the TicWatch E2, hence, contactless payments are not possible.
All in all, the E2 clearly offers a solid smartwatch experience; defined by the core fitness tracking features and quite an impressive battery life. In addition to the 5ATM support, intensive GPS tracking and heart rate monitor will surely enhance your gym sessions and boost your swims by a great deal. All these occupy 47mm x 52.2mm x 13mm, and weigh just under 54 grams. One can easily forget there’s something on their wrists!
The best part is its price; just 159USD! It’s one of the cheapest smartwatches available on the market, and thank goodness more techno-advancements are in the light, so expect even better from Mobvoi.
Overall, if you are looking for a smart wearable watch for fitness tracking, handy notifications updates, and music control without necessarily breaking the bank, then go for the TicWatch E2 today!
