I was looking at this myself, but it was my 14yr old son who asked to buy this watch after seeing reviews. I personally own a few g-shocks so the size of this is in some aspects smaller than a g-shock. My son is an avid gamer and likes tech related stuff. This all seems to fuse together well for this watch. After a week he seems to really like it and has it on the majority of the time. Excellent video of this is done on youtube via chigz tech reviews. If you are thinking of getting this then check his full review.
5atm waterproof, fairly rugged (i have an active job) and 2 days battery life. So prior to this watch i had messed around with smart bands and fitness trackers before. This is my first smartwatch. The watch itself is a little towards the large size but for most men, it won’t look out of place on their arm. The watch set up was simple. Watch uses wear os, and pairs with android phone simple and easy. There is a dedicated app by mobvoi but i have never used it. All the good fitness stuff works fine, there is a hr tracker, no bp tracker. Step counter seems accurate. Notifications from just about any app available work well and quick premade replys can be utilised.
I was hoping to use this as an alternative to my garmin for the increase features from wear os. First of all the s2 is quite ugly and i am not sure the military grade certification is worth it. They are both water proof, so unless you are doing activities that smash you about a lot i don’t think the added price or ugliness is worth it. Fitness tracking is hit and miss. It is fine for casual use, and if i had the better looking e2 i would probably keep it. But it struggles to lock onto a hear rate for several activities and heart rate drops out mid activity a lot. These are pretty standard issues for wrist based tracking but this is worse than normal. Calories estimations are flat out wrong, unless they only state active calories. It has me at about 1500 a day, and my normal tdee is 3500 due to activity levels.
Battery life is good, with easy day to two day use depending on how much tracking you do. Very rugged – doesn’t damage at all despite everything it has thrown at it. Easy to connect to android, wifi, bluetooth. Operates reasonably quickly most of the time, there is the odd hiccup but not frequent enough to detract from general wearabilty. Andriod wear os, thus takes advantage of new tiles feature. Mobivoi software is decent for tracking, but also syncs flawlessly with google fit. Pretty accurate tracker – easily as good if not better than much more expensive garmins. As wear os has ability to use other tracking apps if preferred. Comes with very easy to use power cradle.

Since the battery in my motorola moto 360 sport died, i have been without a smart watch. I really didn’t want to spend hundreds on a watch, but did want wear os. This appeared to be best option at the moment, especially as has 50m water proofing. So, i have had the watch a week. Here are my first impressions. Wear os: no real difference from motorola watch. Watch:- cost is what brought me to this watch. I paid £100 for my second hand moto 360 sport, so to pay this to get a brand new wear os smartwatch was too tempting. Linked ticwatch health apss to google fit and works well together. My old watch would sometimes state on a run that i had just jumped 500m away. This had no problem tracking my route today. – heart rate monitor is so much better than moto 360.
I’ve tried the original ticwatch s just a few weeks ago and couldn’t live with the lack of battery power so i returned and ordered this. It has the same great soft feel to the strap and seems to be a bit better made than the original. Glad to say that the battery on this lasts a good 2 days and the watch supports a range of android apps such as google music. This one is water proof to and let’s you swim which i feel is important for a fitness watch. It uses google’s wear os platform so there are plenty of aftermarket watch faces available through the play store. The strap is quick change so easy to change the look and feel of the watch for a few ££happy so far and will do an update in a month or 2.
You will not regret if you get this watch. It’s super cool, lightweight and fun to play with, there are variety of watch-faces that you can choose from the play store, and i get the notifications easily and on-time. I always wear this watch on my commute, it can set alarm and check information i need on my way, super convenient. I am also thinking getting another c2 for my girlfriend, cause that one seems to be an updated version with fashion designs.
This is my first full smartwatch. Had a hybrid fossil one for a year but wanted more in the way of notifications and information. I’m using this with a oneplus 6t running andriod 9. 0, no idea what it’s like with ios but comments suggest you need. An apple watch with an iphone. I decided in september 2018 that i would be buying a smartwatch but then the new snapdragon 3100 was announced so i thought i’d wait. And i waited and waited and waited. Then i read that the improvements weren’t great anyway so i thought i’d try one of these, the price being the major selling point. First up you need to add the wear os app to your phone and then connect via bluetooth.
Got this as my tichwatch s strap broke. Good device and love the waterproofing.
It’s very light so gave this to dad as a present. The built quality feels solid, high resolution screen and very sensitive. 5days with normal use and get up to 2 days light use. Works well with dad’s sumasung galaxy phone. He enjoyed the heart monitor and fitness tracker as they’re fairly accurate. Haven’t tested out gps function yet but so far good value for money. You may care about the lack of elegance of the s2 – its a black hunk of plastic. You should not care about the lack of lte and a barometric pressure sensor as almost all will carry an android smartphone which relays these. Install ultimate watch 2 face and altimeter for wear os and you have a great highly customisable sport watch at a very competitive price.
Really happy with the ticwatch e2, especially given the price. I preferred the minimal design of the e2 vs sports watch look of the s2. Screen – great screen, better than i expected. Clear and sharp with plenty of room for extra brightness. No ambient light sensor, which is understandable for the price, but would be a welcome addition. Battery – too early to say, but charging is very quick and the supplied dock makes it hassle freespeed – 95% of the time, very smooth, very fluid transitions, really impressive. Only noticed the odd lag when installing lots of apps or starting a heavy-weight app etc. Size – i don’t have large wrists and the watch feels well sized to me; not too thick, not too large. Strap – the included rubber strap has a really nice quality feel to it. I did order a 3rd party strap thinking it would feel ‘plasticy’, but that’s not the case.
Hi, no matter how far in advance i start the watch and the strava app, it takes ages to find the gps and sometimes doesn’t start until half way around my run. Subsequently it is useless for tracking performance. Doesn’t do sleep tracking – yet?doesn’t do pulse – yet?screen not that responsive to touch and not responsive at all when wet which is annoying as i bought it for swimming. Use it every day, would be good if battery lasted a few days instead of just one. Does everything i need very well.
