TicWatch E2 smartwatch with Built-in GPS 5ATM Waterproof 24h Heart Rate Monitoring Wear OS by Google Watch iOS and Android Compatible

I wanted to wait a few days after purchase to get a more accurate review, and to make sure that all the updates were done so I could actually reflect the battery life.Overall moving from my TicWatch 2, I was excited to be able to try a Wear OS watch. Keep in mind it is much bigger than the TicWatch2 or most standard wrist watches as seen in the photos. However that's to be expected with the new features.WearOS in general seems to have a lot of problems, I really hope Google continues to update and support the operating system in general, but any complaints I have aren't exclusive to this watch but apply to the class of watches in general.The battery life on this and other WearOS watches is quite limited in comparison to competitors. with light use you can get two to three days on a single charge, with heavy texting I was able to go a little over one full work day.The screen is fantastic and responsive, I do like having the option of responding to texts and emails via predetermined phrases, Google Assistant, or swipe keyboard which works surprisingly well on such a small screen. However the voice recognition in Google Assistant is quite slow and inaccurate compared to other Google Assistant products such as my phone or Google homes. There's also significant difficulty in activating the "ok google" or "hey google" hot phrases which seems consistent with other WearOS watches.I did not get it for any sports features, however the step counter seems accurate enough.It does work with Spotify seamlessly and I can navigate through my playlist easily on the phone.It's a little disappointing that this watch although bigger uses 22 mm bands while the previous TicWatch I owned used 20 mm bands so I cannot reuse them for the new watch.all in all given the limitation of WearOS watches at the moment, TicWatch's product line including the e2 have the best price performance versus their competitors.

My first day of having the watch and my only complaint so far is that the vibration strength cannot be adjusted. You have options for a 'normal' 'long' and 'double' vibration pattern but no control over the intensity. The vibration also makes a fairly noticeable sound so I would recommend putting it in 'do not disturb' mode during meetings or zoom calls for example.

As someone who really enjoyed the TicWatch 2 from years ago, I'm very impressed with the E2! The official Android Wear support is fantastic, the smooth scrolling is enjoyable - even better than my TW2! - and the battery life is great! The build quality of the watch is quite impressive. It feels sturdy when holding it. The size is perfect, in my opinion. The larger watches look too extreme for my tastes, and this one looks perfectly natural. I really enjoy the functionality this thing packs into its size and pricetag!My personal preference is to wear it with the always-on display enabled, and gestures disabled. That way I can see my watch at any time and get the important information without having to flick my wrist around; I was never a fan of waking up any electronic device through gestures. The quick-swap 22mm band functionality is also great! I have a metal mesh set with a magnetic clasp for a chic look and convenient donning.

Battery life really sucks at first it was good then it started to stick after a couple months

I have now had three smartwatches (this was the second). It was the chunkiest, slowest and least useful of the three. Seriously, I wouldn't buy anything from Ticwatch ever again. Wouldn't be even a little surprised if they were collecting data from me and selling it on the side while I used this watch. Do yourself a favor and buy something from a real company.

I've supported two ticwatch Kickstarter campaigns, and this will be the third generation watch that I have purchased from Mobvoi. I have had my TicWatch E since the campaign in 2017 and have worn it everyday at my construction equipment job, without a single issue. I also wear it at night for sleep tracking as well. The new E2 has the modern touches that we all look for, from the exterior design to the software that encompasses the watch. Given that the operating system is Wear Os, it will be compatible with Android and Apple. The versatility of Wear Os allows you to sync with Google play and match apps that you currently have on your phone to this watch. The strap that comes with the watch is a soft touch silicone, but it feels a bit more rugged, vs previously released versions. In the future I may ever consider purchasing the ticwatch pro.

Battery life on this watch (E2) is absolutely horrible. It does say in the listing that it can last "up to" 2 days, but that's only if you disable a lot of the functionality, like all-day HR monitoring. If you have to disable a lot of the features, then what's the point of the watch? At that point, it's just a watch. I used it for not even 2 full days and I had to charge it 3 times. That's just not sustainable.Otherwise, it's a really nice looking watch. The screen is big, bright and responsive. Wear OS comes with a lot of features and has the ability to download apps. It's waterproof up to 5ATM. It shows notifications. You can even type replies to messages on the watch face. You can speak to the watch with OK, Google.At the end of the day, the battery life of this watch is so poor, it's not worth it.
