Mobvoi’s Ticwatch S and E smartwatches are now
available in Europe. The letters stand for “Sport” and “Express” respectively
and the designs have already won awards – an iF Product Design award for the S
and Good Design Award for the E.
Anyway, the straps are the major difference between
the two. The Ticwatch S has a GPS antenna built into the breathable wrist strap
for superior reception. The watch also has a sporty bezel with minute markings.
The Ticwatch E also has a built-in GPS receiver,
though its antenna is in the 44mm case (1mm smaller than the S). The upside is
that you can easily swap the wrist straps. Both watches run Android Wear OS and
have a 1.4” OLED display with 400x400px resolution (287ppi). They are powered
by a MediaTek MT2601 chipset with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage. This storage
can be used with Spotify and Google Play Music.
There’s a heart rate monitor on board as well. The
case is water resistant (IP67), though not swim-proof. You can expect two days
of battery life out of the 300mAh battery. The Mobvoi Ticwatch E is available
for £ 120/€ 135, the Ticwatch S for £ 150/€ 170. Both watches launched on Amazon US earlier.
