Mobvoi - Ticwatch E (Express) Smartwatch 44mm Polycarbonate - Black

I purchased this watch from Best Buy in Mission Viejo 3 weeks ago. I have to stress how important it is to follow Mobvoi's advice when they say to fully charge and discharge the battery 3 times. My first charge lasted only 3 hours, second charge about 5 hours and the third charge lasted about 7. After that I now get anywhere from 15-24 hours on a single charge. Just a note, the watch does not come with the new Wear OS but will download and install after about the second charge. It won't upgrade until you have the battery life to do so. When it does upgrade it will blow your mind. I wanted a lightwieght watch with NO sim card. This fits the bill. I can still leave my phone behind if I choose during a hike where you have no cell reception and when I get home the watch sync's up to my phone and shares the GPS and BPM data. Not to mention a watch with a sim card will add about $10-15 to your monthly cell phone bill. What good is that if you hike or camp where there is no available signal? The watch itself is fantastic! The menu is easy to learn and navigate. It feels light and comfortable. I was going to order another band before I even used the watch but didn't. This rubber band is super comfy and durable, looks better IRL compared to the pictures. The whole matte black finish gives this watch an impressive look. Performance and durability shocked me! 2.5 weeks ago my buddy and I went backpacking in the Sequioa's and hiked a tough technical trail. We crossed streams, climbed over and over fallen trees, and went through brush. The watch was hot from the sun, sweaty and dirty. I can tell you right now, this watch does NOT need a screen protector. On the trail we compared the Ticwatch GPS to an Android phone and USMC issued Garmin wrist GPS unit. The Ticwatch locked on to GPS just as fast as the miliary unit. After a brutal 6 hour hike we compared the three devices and found the Ticwath to only slightly vary from the Garmin. That is only because two different people where wearing the devices. If someone was to steal my watch or I lost it today would I buy a new one tomorrow? You bet I would! If you want accurate reliable gear at an entry level price, this is it! Thank you Mobvoi for bringing us this amazing piece of gear at such an affordable price!

I did a lot of research before settling on this smart watch. I've tried 5 different brands over the years. This one so far has exceeded my expectations. I really didn't think it would stand up to the reviews. It has been out for a while and is flying under the radar. Definitely not as flashy and well known as the Fossil I had previously. But sometimes change can be a good thing. The battery life is actually just as good as claimed. I can go over 12 hours easily on a charge. I don't need to carry around an extra charger like with the Fossil or MK. Both had TERRIBLE battery life. I changed up the look from the boring black (which is only option unfortunately) by adding a metal band and face cover. Now it looks more appealing. I actually like the side button being on the left side. It is recessed and doesn't get bumped into by my wrist like others. All the buttons on right side was annoying at times. The update of the Wear OS fixed all previous issues. It is responsive, does not crash, and is overall very impressive for an older watch. Can't be beat for the $100 price tag. I really like this thing. Great purchase :)

Would have given 5* but unfortunately after a couple updates ago, audio and calls stopped working from the watch. Before updating it was working. Other than that, really enjoy it~ Like all the watch face options.

Looking for a competent WearOS smartwatch on the cheap? You won't do any better than the Ticwatch E. Fast, responsive, excellent battery life - 1.5 days for me - and did I mention that it's cheap?

for the price you cannot go wrong beautiful screen and very fast plus the flexibility of wear OS highly recommended

The watch would continuously restart for no reason. And after a month of use the screen started to blacken. Tried to file a warranty claim through Movbi but there site is never responsive

This watch had a few quirks with it initially, but all in all it works out to be a very decent device. Right off the bat I'm going to express to you. If you have a Fitbit blaze, charge 2 or versa, swapping to this wouldn't really be an upgrade unless you want greater app compatibility as the limited notifications of the Fitbit wearables can be very annoying at times. Also this watch has a very poor battery endurance compared to really, any Fitbit device. You will be charging this one a day or multiple times a day depending on how active you are and the settings you use. Speaking of settings, this watch destroys battery life if you leave the default settings enabled to keep the screen on always. Just set the screen to only turn on when you flick your wrist makes the device last at least 2 days with moderate use as apposed to simply a "workday" Also another thing to note. This watch has a heart rate monitor however it's -only mainly used during workout activity and generally never on- i find that with workout activities on, the watch seemingly drains the battery just as fast as having the screen on all the time so honestly it's a bit of a hassle to use. Performance on the other hand is fine. It isn't the fastest watch but it gets the job done. There also can be a slight delay with waking the watch up but usually it's something I got used to after playing around with it All in all.. If you can deal with charging it everyday If you can deal with it being a little slow compared to the completion If you can deal with it inability to monitor your body's heart rate and sleep patterns like a dedicated Fitbit does Then this watch is fine fine you, especially being that it's a lot cheaper too.

Ticwatch E is a great value. The watch has all of the sensors you expect but at a surprising price. Also, it has surprising features like quick charge that enable you to get over an hour of battery life with only a 15 minute charge and it works great with both Android and iOs. Keep in mind with iPhone on Wear OS (formerly Android wear) you can see who is calling and either answer or decline the call but you can not talk through the watch the audio will route through head phones or the phone. Which is fine for me. Also, you can read texts but you can not respond to them. Even with this I prefer Wear Os with an iPhone over the Apple Watch because it is built around cards and quick notifications and not apps and downloads that are hard to do on a small screen. Ticwatch E is my favorite Wear OS watch because of its features, price, and style. Overall, it is a great alternative that works with any Android or Apple phone. I would also say to get better battery life keep in mind to use have it set to use phone GPS when available and to have wrist gestures enabled to keep the screen from staying on all the time.
