When the time comes to choose just one smartwatch for all your needs, you'll have your work cut out for you. Whether you prefer rugged or sleek, simple or robust, there's no shortage of options. The line of Mobvoi TicWatch smartwatches offers a little something for everyone. Our personal favorite is none other than the TicWatch Pro. While this model is priced the highest out of the bunch, it'll be money well spent for many users. You'll have loads of smart features, battery life that goes on for days, and a gorgeous dual display. Of course, there are other watches in the lineup that are worth considering as well.
As you marvel at the TicWatch Pro, don't forget to pick up your jaw from the floor. This smartwatch truly does it all with a generous number of features, unbelievable battery life, and tons of fitness tracking perks. What you'll probably notice first, though, is the uniquely brilliant display. The Pro uses layered display technology, which helps extend the battery life even further. In Smart Mode, you'll have your usual AMOLED display with the LCD panel filling in the blanks, which gives you around 2 to 5 days of battery. In Essential Mode, you'll have the LCD display without any color, which focuses on your fitness with high sunlight visibility and up to 30 days of battery.
When it comes to features and tracking, there's a lot to unpack. For starters, you'll love having NFC for Google Pay on your wrist, built-in GPS, activity monitors, a heart rate sensor, ambient light sensor, smartphone notifications, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and more. Every smartwatch has its flaws and for this one, it's the fact that switching to Essential Mode shuts off Wear OS entirely. When you long press the side button to reactivate it, you'll be waiting a hot minute for it to boot up. Essential Mode also turns Bluetooth off, so you won't receive buzz notifications and it won't keep your phone unlocked via Smart Lock. However, these are small potatoes for all the features you're getting.
You won't find a better smartwatch that's specifically designed for the outdoor lifestyle than the TicWatch S2. After all, it comes with certified military-grade durability. What exactly does this mean? Your watch will be able to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations, shock, dust, and water. Wherever you go, the S2 can go too. There's no adventure too tough for this model. When you combine this level of durability with unlimited tracking abilities, including proactive sport modes, swim monitoring and swim style detection, a built-in GPS, heart rate sensor, and sleep tracking, there's not a whole lot that the S2 can't do.
The proactive sport modes allow you to keep going at your own pace without having to slow down and mess with your watch. It's powered by TicMotion, which is Mobvoi's suite of proprietary AI algorithms. It proactively detects your motion, tracks your swim activities, and provides your fitness records without you having to press or do a thing. Simply get going and it will follow suit.
There isn't much to say about the Ticwatch E2, mostly because it's a simpler, more trimmed down version of the S2. When it comes to features and sensors, they're practically identical. The only real difference here is the lack of military-grade durability. This could be a dealbreaker for some and it could be totally meaningless to others. It will really depend on your activity habits and how intense they get.
For users who are going about their day-to-day life with a series of basic workouts sprinkled in, this is an excellent fit. It's a bit cheaper than the S2 as well, so you'll save a little if you can live without the military-grade durability. The design of the E2 is also much simpler and cleaner than its counterpart. If you want all of the features and tracking without the S2's bulk factor, you'll be pleased with the E2 — even if it only comes in one color.
When it's a seamless blend of form and function that you seek, look no further than the C2. This TicWatch will serve you well in the world of functionality and it'll manage to look good in the process. For a sleek, slim profile like this one, you might be surprised to learn of all the features it's able to provide. You'll have access to built-in GPS, heart rate monitoring, smart fitness tracking, NFC contactless payments, and more.
The most noticeable aspect here is definitely the beautiful design. The C2 boasts a stainless steel case paired with genuine leather straps for a classy smartwatch that can track your fitness. Whether you're headed to the gym for a vigorous workout or to a fancy night out on the town, this TicWatch is suitable for all types of occasions. With such a small frame, you're going to have to sacrifice some sensors. When it comes to the C2, you'll have to part with the ambient light sensor, magnetic sensor, and low latency off-body sensor.
Bottom line
