This is actually a great watch! This Ticwatch E3 is a very light watch, was surprised on how light it is. Reason is I think it's made of plastic, not metal, but the watch feels really well made. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 4100 processor makes the watch feel pretty snappy. Only lag I've experienced is right after turning it on but after that it runs great. The display is really good, can see it well in the daytime. Only con about the display is that there's no auto brightness so at night it's pretty bright so have to turn it down manually. Which is easily accessible from the quick settings so really no big deal. The watch face pictured is the Pixel watch face from the Google Play store, wasn't a fan of any of the built in watch faces. NFC with Google Pay works flawless, no issues with that yet. Mobvoi's set of TicHealth apps is pretty good. Tested out all of them. The only one that doesn't work that great is the TicOxygen, keeps saying detect failed. I've noticed the only way to get that to work is to wear my watch on the inside of my wrist which I don't do. The band that comes with it is a cheap band but it's comfortable, I've got another one ordered from Amazon. Also bought a charging stand for the watch since I'm not a fan of the cable it came with. The cable will be good on travel trips, just wanted a stand for every day use. Oh and regarding every day use, the battery life is decent. Easily lasts all day if you turn off tilt to wake and turn on the battery saving screen option. Overall, again this is a great watch for the price. It currently has Wear OS 2.5 and read it all be updated to Wear OS 3.0-looking forward to that, will make this watch even better. If you're looking for a good Wear OS watch and on a budget, this is definitely a great choice!

A great smart watch to own!
I have a Ticwatch Pro that I purchased in 2020 that I have loved because of the dual screen feature. I still use it today even though I have newer Garmin and Samsung watches. This Ticwatch doesn’t have the dual screen feature or any outstanding smart watch feature, but is a solid watch that is responsive, good-looking and very light and comfortable to wear.
I’ve been using this watch for about 5 weeks now and it’s been a great experience. This watch uses the Wear OS platform and works well with it. It also works with the Mobvoi app to provide additional versatility with the health and fitness features of the watch. It has a 1.3″ bright LCD, sharp resolution and glass screen. The watch body is polycarbonate and comes with a silicone strap. It worked fine during my daily wear in a mostly indoor construction management environment. It’s IP68 certified and I used it several times in my hot tub or in the shower without a hitch. The watch lasted me 2 full days wearing it continuously even during sleep and with normal use. An extra day would have been appreciated, but that’s about the norm, even though my Garmin Venu watch lasts me 5 days+ with normal use.
It features WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, GPS and the usual motion/health sensors and I used all of it’s features. NFC with Google Pay worked as it should and the GPS positioning was precise with Google Maps. It monitored my heart rate and daily steps and workouts accurately. Calls sounded good and loud with the built in speaker and mic. It’s got all the expected health monitoring and sleep features and the Tic suite of health apps are as good as Samsung’s or Garmin’s.
So why would you purchase this watch? It’s got a next generation Snapdragon platform, it’s both stylish and sporty, very easy on the wrist, sharp and bright screen, has all the expected features and best of all, it’s only $169.99. It’s a great addition to my smart watch collection!
Ok ive had the Tic Watch E3 two weeks and its time for a review!
TL:DR its great, go get one and try it out!
My last watch was an asus zenwatch 2, so ive been out of the game for a little bit. I was looking for something new and affordable since upgrading from a note 9 to a S22 plus. The Tic Watch E3 is really it!
Initial setup is a breeze and had everything going within minutes of taking it out of the box.
First things first,
The battery life. Its great, up to two days between a fast charge before work (takes about a half hour i think to get a full charge). Im using all the bells and whistles too. Heart rate, steps, sleep, oxygen, gps, spotify and probably more. Really quite surprised actually considering how light this watch is.
This watch is LIGHT! i almost dont like wearing watches because i like my arms to weigh the same. Lol but seriously, between the weight of my old watch and its battery life, i just stopped using it. The Tic Watch E3 is some serious hardware and weighs almost nothing by comparison.
The display, its bright and easy to read even in full daylight and adjustible. the touch sensor on the watch is very well made too. I never thought a keyboard on a display that small would be easy to use. But it is! Ive used it to log into my Tic account to keep track of my activity. And used it to reply to messages. Its surprisingly easy and accurate.
Sleep tracking is very informative, I’ve actually been sleeping better now that i can see how my routines affect my sleep. And when i feel like i didnt sleep well i have all the info i need to convince my self that i actually did.
Heart rate, steps and GPS are all very accurate and informative. Makes me want to do more in order to break previous records ive set or keep consistent. And when ive been sitting too long it gives me a reminder to get up and move around for a little bit. Extremely helpful when im on my pc too much. (im always on my pc too much)
Its also very easy to manage which apps are notified by the watch and to silence your phones notifications when the watch is active. Helpful so you aren’t buzzing on both devices.
Ive been using the Tic apps exclusively on my watch and have no complaints. Plenty of stock watch faces available by default. And through apps like Watchmaker and more you have an endless supply of watch-faces ranging from all the data displayed you can think of to absolute minimal.
Instant familiarity if you’ve used any other or previous android wear product with a suite of features and options you’ll find on more expensive models.
Waterproofing is very acceptable, i dont plan on swimming with it on (personal preference here, i know the watch would be fine) but i get dirty at work. Ill run it under water to wash off the grime before washing my self up and have had no issues.
The glass is tough too, its still as pristine as the day i took it out of the box. Despite the abuse my work causes it.
And last but not least, the watch band it comes with i thought i would replace almost right away. As i did with my Zenwatch and almost any other watch (smart or regular) ive owned. To my surprise i did not need nor want to do that in this case. Its just fine, it works, its comfortable and unless the band wears out or breaks ever ill keep it.
In conclusion to my review, i really like this watch. Ive become more active and generally enjoy using it. Highly recommend you try it out yourself.
Great WearOS watch!
TLDR; Solid WearOS watch that actually works. Decent battery life. Screen size is big enough to read without being gaudy. Watch strap is the best I’ve had (details below) and the actual watch is lightweight. You can even use a picture from your phone as the watch face without a third-party app.
I snatched this watch because I misread an article and thought it had WearOS 3.0. It does not (yet at least). That being said, it actually works wonders with WearOS 2. My old WearOS watches would lag when getting a phone call and I wouldn’t know until I got the voicemail (I keep my phone on silent because I’m not a savage), miss notifications, and would generally be frustrating to use.
The E3, not so much. It’s snappy and has a decent battery life. If you want your battery to last forever, get the Pro 3. If you charge yours at night by habit like I do, this watch is more than adequate. It lasted 2.5 – 3.5 days between charges days for me with normal use out of the box. After doing some customization (lefty app, cardiogram, tweaking developer options) it’s goes 1.5 to 2 days now.
The big thing for me software-wise is that the apps actually work when you tap them and I get phone calls to the watch when they happen. You can actually talk with the watch. The audio is pretty good and the person on the other end can hear you.
Hardware-wise , let’s talk about the strap. With all my other smart watches with a sport band, the end would always slip out and flail around. They stuck a plug (pictured) on the piece that fits into the notches on the strap to hold it in place. I didn’t realize how much the slipping and readjusting aggravated me until it wasn’t a problem any more. 10/10 highly reccomend. The watch face strikes a good balance of being large enough for my old man eyes to read and being small enough for my wrist. The material on the actual watch looks and feels like a strong composite, but it is super light. I don’t feel like I have a lead weight tied to my wrist.
From the Mobvoi app, you can set your own watch face. Mine is a picture of my kid. I love it. The best part is I also don’t have to use a battery hog watch face app to do it.
Pros:
Servicable battery life
Custom Watchface
Processor is fast enough that WearOS actually works
Watch band that stays in place.
Looks nice and is light
Cons:
If you want to go forever between charges, spring for the Pro 3.
The lefty app doesn’t flip the essential mode. Would like to see a mechanism to flip the display without a third party app.
Great Value Smart Watch
Sleep tracking is very good on this watch as it the fitness tracker ..
Battery life is better than most watches of the same price
Quality watch. Great features, great price
Great watch overall for sure!
Tested it in the shower and it works great! No effect from water but there is a water drain feature under settings for the speaker which is cool! Haven’t had any issues on the watch but I’ve had that happen on other devices where a bit of water will make the speaker sound odd for a bit.
Sound is great! The video shows me ask a question and you can hear my Google home next to me answer a fraction of a second earlier but the sound from the watch comes in very clear! Functionality is smooth! Tap to pay is nice. Great tic watch apps built in, customizable side button is real nice.
The design is sleek, I’m a big supporter of the classic round watch face over the i watch unless you have like a tag heur or something. The band it comes with is compfy and stylish but also easy to swap out if you want.
Components seems strong and durable. I haven’t put a screen protector on yet but like doing that. I haven’t had any issues with scratches or scuffs anywhere on the watch so far though and it definitely dinged on things a couple times, it still looks the same as it did new.
The battery life is similar to iwatch i think. could be improved a bit. I used it since about 9am till 7pm and it went to 65% so that’s about equal to iwatch and its better than an iwatch overall, so bonus. Also there’s energy saving settings im sure i could get longer.
The sensors have to be in the right position when reading so they couldn’t read sometimes but i guess that makes sense.
It kept prompting me to allow all permissions to use each app and it was had to tell which ones affected which things. I ended up just giving all the permissions to use the apps. Every company has them I just wish there was more emphasis to the privacy and anonymity of the data we give.
Still, it’s nice to have all the biometric testing and tracking!
Overall a great product with great features and functionality.
Solid Watch for the Price
This is a fantastic watch for the price (especially considering how expensive flagship watches are today). However, it’s not perfect so here are some of my dislikes:
The vibrator – it was louder than I would have liked, and I just didn’t like the way it sounded (more of a personal preference). I also couldn’t find a way to shut it off I was only able to turn off the sound.
Sleep Tracking and Features – The recorded time of sleep seem to be pretty accurate, but the sleep efficiency rating doesn’t seem right to me. For me it was always ranking it highly which was conflicting with the other watch I was simultaneously wearing (Galaxy Active 2). But what bothered me was when the screen kept turning on while I was trying to sleep. I couldn’t find any kind of sleep mode to prevent this.
Google Pay – Great feature but I don’t like that you have to have a watch pin or password to have it active. I would rather just enter a pin or password before using Google Pay instead of having a pin or password on the whole watch. If you don’t mind having a pin or password to open your watch, then it’s really no problem.
Battery Life – I kept the heart monitor and GPS on 24/7 and it’ll last the whole day but not much past that. It’ll get you a few more hours through the next day but it hasn’t lasted a full 2 days without using battery saver. I would have to charge it every night so if you want to be tracking your sleep this could be an issue.
Other than that, it’s a solid watch and I still believe it’s worth the money. The software runs smoothly and it works well with my phone (Note 10+). Would recommend this watch.
Excellent acquisitio
For the price range and features available this is an excellent purchase for anyone who wants to buy a new smartwatch. This was my 1st smartwatch and can safely say I would buy from TIC again.
Very good watch
Great watch, battery isn’t great but it’s the same for most watches. Works seamlessly paired to my phone. Android wear os is so easy to use.
Great Value for the Price!!
I’ve been wearing this watch for about a week now. Pros: easy to set up right out of the box! I even got a new phone after setting this up w/my old one and had to re-link it to my new phone and everything went well. Easy! I like that it has all the apps I would need. Payments, music, notes, messaging. It has more than enough heart rate tracking, oxygen monitoring, step tracking, active time ect. I was more interested in this watch as less of a fitness watch and more of a phone companion and I think you could easily set it up to do either very well. As for battery life I think it’s good! I don’t have a ton of experience to compare to but it lasted ~3 days depending on what activities I did. Cons: I think a lot of the watch faces are weird. Would’ve liked more choices that are subtle. A lot of them were very in-your-face techy and that’s just not my jam. More subtle is nice so you can dress it up or down, wear it for workout or for a night out kind of thing.. Also I think they could update the phone app. It would be great to be able to manage my apps on my phone app so that it’s a bigger screen. Especially during set up.
Overall, great value for the price and I think it’s a good buy!
Bonne montre connecté
Aprs 1 an d’utilisation, elle reste une bonne montre connect avec un super prix en ce moment.
Elle n’a rien envi la watch 4 par exemple. Mme si la samsung reste au dessus, la E3 a plein de fonctions identiques qui rempli bien son rle.
Wear os fonctionne bien, la qualit est bonne et elle est assez fluide. Je n’ai pas regrett mon achat. Mais maintenant que j’ai la watch 4 , je suis encore plus satisfait.
Mais j’avoue que pour le prix fin 2022 a fait trs bien le job.
Great value smart/active watch
I have previously owned a couple Mobvoi smartwatches and other small-brand smartwatches/Wear OS devices. This one packs a whole lot into a great price point!
Performance: The watch is very smooth and responsive with the Snapdragon 4100 processor. I haven’t experienced any lag whatsoever on the watch.
Battery life: I average about 2-3 days with normal usage. This is better than a lot of other watches on the market, since it allows me to wear it to sleep more often than others.
Screen: The E3 has a large vivid screen. Colors pop and look great. The size fits the entire interface, which was a problem on some previous Ticwatches. It does stick out a bit, which makes it look a bit nicer but more conducive to scratches.
Sensors: This is a HUGE plus for the E3. There are so many chips and sensors jam-packed into this watch that rival others significantly above its price point. They work quite well compared to other active bands that I’ve worn.
Construction & Build Quality: The watch is on the lighter side, which is great for those who are on the active side. The band is silicone, and the casing is not as hard or heavy as it looks. Hopefully this is good news for drops. Unfortunately, the bezel is a bit larger and the watch quite a bit thicker than I would like, but that seems to be paired with all of the features packed into this watch.
App: Having to juggle between the Mobvoi app and Wear OS is a bit tedious, but the Wear OS app is only necessary for a few functions (changing watch face, tiles, et al). The Mobvoi app is a HUGE improvement over past versions, and the interface is great for seeing a quick overview of activity and health indicators gathered from the various sensors.
Overall, I like this watch a lot and am excited for the functionality of Wear OS combined with the hardware packed into this great value smartwatch.
Great value if looking for Google WearOS supported watch
I was looking for a watch supporting the latest version of Google WearOS that also provided Oxygen Saturation measurements, in particular, as part of the sleep quality monitoring. The spec matched my requirement all within a very smart looking watch. Build quality is good and the Mobvoi Ticwatch App syncs well with the Wear OS app.
Pretty Good!
Does everything that was expected pretty well!
took a little getting used to as I have not before used Wear OS. Looking forward to the release of wear OS 3.0
Excellent features and NFC payments
This arrived on time I’m and does exactly as it is supposed to. I primarily purchases for the NFC function which works very well. It was a little bit of a fiddle to set up, however it tracks everything that I require in a simple straightforward manner. It is pretty accurate in the uses to which I have put it. This was an Amazon warehouse purchase and and it represents exceptional value for money; so much so that I purchased a spare. F1 is seeking to purchase an NFC device with Google Wear, then this is a cheap way in particularly if a good Amazon warehouse purchase is available.
Great economical choice, with all the bells and whistles.
Good: Top-end android wear device, which runs actual android wear. Has all the bells and whistles you’d expect. Battery life has been lasting me about 4 days between charges. Activity tracking seems on par. I do not wear watches when I sleep so cannot comment on the sleep tracking. The heart rate tracking seems to be very quick, faster than prior fitness watches I’ve had in the past.
I only used the NFC once simply to test it, otherwise I tend to use my phone directly for NFC payments. Worth mentioning, watch band that it comes with has many adjustment points, which is great, as a few past watches I’ve had only had a few holes, and I always tended to be between two sizes.
Bad: The only bad thing I can even say about this watch, is the watch face itself ended up with a scratch halfway across it within the first six hours of putting it on. This is more puzzling as I literally put it on when I woke up, and sat at a desk most of the day. So what could have caused this scratch is beyond me, but didn’t give me great confidence in the type of glass used. I put more emphasis on this specifically because this watch is replacing a prior Ticwatch Pro which suffered a cracked screen after a few years of ownership. I’ve docked one-star for this. I could chalk it up to my own carelessness, but honestly can’t think of where it could have been scratched, or how. If there was a “feature” rating for durability I’d simply dock it there instead of the overall, but it wasn’t an option.
Great all around Android Smart Watch
Note: All comparisons to opinions based upon 16 months of ownership of a TicWatch Pro 3 GPS
Note 2: Promotional consideration provided by the mfg, but this is an honest assessment of the TicWatch E3 Smart Watch
As the summary says, this is a great all around Android smart watch. With the stock silicone band, it would be equally at home on a hiking trip as it is as a daily wear piece
Pros:
Price point – it would be a tough sell to justify the extra $100 even with the nitpicking I’m going to attempts in the cons section
Screen is vibrant!
Fast and responsive to inputs
Lightweight
Cons:
The charger orientation on the back of the watch is 90 CCW from the Pro 3. Doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it would render any of my cradles useless if I went to a bracelet style band.
Screen size: 1.3 vs 1.4
Feels just a hair thicker than the Pro 3, but I have not objectively confirmed
Verdict:
This is a TON of watch and features for the cost. Would recommend if you are looking for a watch that you plan on using like a swiss army knife – daily wear, activity tracking, sleep tracking…. I like the two button setup and the customizable launcher. The only serious dig on this that would cause me to pause is the screen size. These aged eyes benefit from every .1″ possible.
Affordable, Smooth and Elegant Smartwatch
I own an existing Ticwatch Pro which I liked but it is getting older and becomes slow. When I found a good deal on the E3 I thought to gave it a chance. Luckily it was a good decision, as the E3 turned out to be a very good one.
PROS:
1. Look and Feel: the watch looks elegant, the screen is bright and sensitive and the watch is way lighter than my previous Pro one.
2. Speed: the watch is very fast thanks to the new processor and increased ram.
3. Connectivity.
4. Fast charging.
5. Small size charger.
6. Price.
CONS:
1. The screen has kinda thick bezel which decreases the workable screen space. On the good side, that bezel doesn’t look bad and if the watch face is black then it will not be noticeable.
2. The strap provided is a silicon one which is not that fancy and looks a bit cheap. Nevertheless, it is comfortable once wore. You can also fit in any 20 mm strap you want.
Overall I’m satisfied with the purchase and recommend the watch.
At less than $200, the Ticwatch E3 should be the easiest purchasing decision you ever have to make when considering a smartwatch, especially if you have an Android phone. One of the few watches guaranteed to receive Wear OS 3, the next generation of Google’s smartwatch operating system, the Ticwatch E3 beats most of the competition in nearly every category, and I’m not being hyperbolic.
I have owned a number of Wear OS watches, all but one made by Ticwatch. My most recent purchase was supposedly one of the top ones out there – and the Ticwatch E3 bests it almost everywhere. Battery life was probably the best of the Wear OS watches out there, and actually gives the Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra a run for its money. The sleep tracking was much more accurate than the previous unnamed high end Wear OS watch I owned, and only dropped my battery by a few percentage points each night. It has a highly robust suite of native Ticwatch apps in addition to every app traditionally associated with Google, including NFC and Google Wallet to pay for purchases wirelessly. The list goes on and on so….I will make a list.
Pros:
– Amazing battery life. I can’t state this enough. I get notifications all day long, I use the microphone to enter tasks and reply to texts and emails, take a phone call or two, and often use the timer. I charge the watch in the morning while I shower and get ready for work at 6:15 AM, and currently at 9:23 PM the watch battery sits at 63% – a huge leap over other Wear OS watches. This is with GPS, NFC, Bluetooth, WiFi on standby, vibrations on, and the Always On Screen activated. Seriously, check out the screenshot from the Wear OS app.
– Sleep tracking that rates the efficiency of sleep, never misses a wakeup or bathroom visit, and I believe tracks REM fairly well. MUCH better than Foss….I mean, the other watch that I owned. Syncs sleep with Google Fit to put all of your data in one place and gives extremely detailed information within the Ticwatch Mobvoi app.
– Lightweight. I barely feel this thing on my wrist.
– IP68 rated for swimming. Yesterday, I swam in a lake for a good chunk of the day, including accidentally falling off of a paddleboard into the water. It allows for a touch lock mode to prevent the water from “touching” your screen, yet still responds when I turn my wrist to activate the display. Zero problems.
– There is a mode that extends battery further with a low power screen that only activates when you turn your wrist. It is the picture with the red numbers. A leap ahead of the second LED screen that Ticwatch has on other watches.
– Has a native app for recording the sounds around you, such as sensitive conversations that may need to be recorded (with consent of course).
– The widest variety of exercise modes that I’ve seen outside of a Garmin. I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t really exercise, and even I’m impressed.
– FAST RESPONSE TIME. The Snapdragon 4100, combined with the 1 GB of RAM, makes this watch speed through every action and has no lag that I ever noticed.
– Did I mention that it will get Wear OS 3?
Cons:
– I got used to the fast charging on my other Wear OS watch, and so the E3 charging feels slow, but it is probably just “normal.” Nonetheless, I have never gotten annoyed by it.
– The body of the watch is some kind of polycarbonate something or other, instead of the heavier metal materials that a few others use. Theoretically, this means that it is not as break-proof, but I haven’t been easy on it and it’s been fine for me.
Those are all of the cons. Seriously. I love this watch and didn’t expect to love it this much.
Excellent first steps into smartwea
My Fitbit got recalled and I’ve been using Android as my phone OS for a few years. Thought it was time I got a WearOS watch. After a lot of research I decided the TicWatch E3 was the one. Mainly because it will get the highly anticipated WearOS v3 when its released, unlike a lot of other watches.
The watch feels nice on the wrist, the strap is comfortable and the screen very clear. Some people marked down the screen as it is LCD not OLED but I’ll be honest, it looks great to me.
The OS is smooth and there’s no lag in switching apps. Because its WearOS, the play store is full of apps you can install on it.
The GPS is accurate and tracking a run/ride is very simple indeed.
Charging is simple and fast. A USB cable comes with it that will charge it from empty to full in less than an hour, and it has a “essential mode” that you can turn on manually/or on schedule – that saves so much battery, you won’t see a drop over night. I use the schedule to switch this on at 22:30 and then off again at 07:00 – I don’t want to be getting notifications, etc at night. So it makes sense to save the battery this way.
Overall I’m extremely glad I settled on this watch.
Affordable TicWatch Pro 3 Alternative
It has nearly all the features of my TicWatch Pro 3 for a better price. It uses the same processor as the Pro model so it doesn’t lack in the performance department (as seen from the video). The display is using an LCD panel so it is supposed to be a downgrade from the pro model’s OLED but unless you put them side by side you wouldn’t see the difference. It has all the features of its bigger brother thanks to the Wear OS. The only place where Mobvoi has cut corners to bring this watch to this price point is the plastic casing of the watch which still looks good in my opinion. Overall a great watch for the price.
Ho preso questo smartwatch incuriosito dal prezzo e dalla differenza con il suo fratello maggiore (TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra).
Devo dire che per il mio tipo di esigenze questo prodotto si rivelato migliore rispetto al Pro 3 Ultra.
Parto dalla parte puramente costruttiva. L’assenza di qualche sensore e qualche funzionalit aggiuntiva (a volte poco utile) lo rende decisamente meno spesso e anche meno pesante.
Al polso sta pi che bene, anche per chi come me ha un polso veramente piccolo, non l’ho trovato ingombrante e nemmeno troppo pesante.
Lato software devo dire che mi ha stupito. Costando circa 100 euro in meno del fratellone pensavo che le prestazioni e la qualit dello smartwatch fosse decisamente inferiori invece ho trovato un buon schermo (con una luminosit adeguata anche sotto la forte luce del sole), un sistema veramente reattivo (molto pi veloce del mio vecchio Watch Active 2 che ancora posseggo) e alcune chicche software (Adidas Running) che in altri smartwatch (per esempio nel Watch Active 2) non sono presenti.
Sono uno sportivo non professionista. Per l’uso che ne faccio io (almeno 3 corsette settimanali) lo smartwatch si comportato in modo egregio. Non sovrastima ne sottostima eccessivamente i passi e offre delle funzionalit adeguate ad un uso non professionale.
Considerando quindi la spesa di crica 160/170 (preso scontato) penso valga quanto speso.
Lo consiglio a chiunque stia cercando un prodotto da indossare tutti i giorni e magari anche per le proprie attivit fisiche, anche se ripeto..non professionistiche. In tal caso vi consiglio di cercare altro, consapevoli per di andare a spendere notevolmente di pi.
Equilibrado
Despus de haberlo probado durante varios das, puedo decir que mi impresin es bastante mejor de lo que esperaba.
A priori, por el precio o materiales, podra parecer un producto de peor calidad, pero me ha sorprendido gratamente por muchos aspectos.
Su peso es realmente bajo, lo que lo hace muy cmodo, olvidando por completo que lo llevas puesto.
El diseo es sencillo, pero francamente bonito.
Al final este es un concepto muy personal, pero creo importante mencionarlo, puesto que no es llamativo y encaja bien tanto en un escenario deportivo como en algo ms sofisticado.
Supongo que el material plstico y tamao (adecuado para una mueca pequea como la ma) lo hace tan “neutro”, todo en un mismo color, y con una pantalla de tamao suficiente (a priori parece ms grande de lo que es, pero luego se nota que el cristal es ms grande que la pantalla en si), consiguen este efecto.
Siguiendo con los materiales, el tiempo lo dir, porque en pocos das de uso no hay posibilidad de valorar en exceso, pero cabe sealar que parece bastante bien construido, encajando todo perfectamente y con apariencia robusta para su uso en el da a da, incluso en actividades deportivas.
En este sentido, con los sensores que tiene (que no voy enumerar, porque ya estn en la descripcin), me parece ms que perfecto como todo en uno, para llevar continuamente puesto y registrar toda la actividad.
Creo que los sensores funcionan muy bien en general, excepto en el caso del podmetro, que dira que cuenta algo por encima de la realidad. Pero no es algo preocupante.
Todos esto, combinado con el sistema operativo WearOs, que permite instalar cualquier aplicacin de su catlogo, me parece sencillamente genial (Polar, Strava, Google Fit, Keep, Maps… Una lista interminable).
Y este creo que es uno de sus mayores puntos fuertes.
Teniendo en cuenta el precio, contar con un smartwatch con Google y con un rendimiento muy bueno (funcionamiento fluido en cualquiera de las actividades que he realizado), me parece muy equilibrado.
La duracin de la batera es la que puede esperarse de cualquier dispositivo con este sistema operativo y tipo de pantalla (sin sensor de luminosidad).
En mi caso, apagndolo por la noche (no me gusta dormir con cosas en la mueca), usndolo durante aproximadamente una hora de ejercicio diaria, con todos los sensores activados y con el brillo de la pantalla a la mitad (suficiente en cualquiera de las situaciones en las que lo he utilizado) ha sido de poco ms de dos das completos.
En mi opinin, muy satisfecho con el resultado, sin buscar caractersticas espectaculares, con un precio accesible.
Muy equilibrado.
Great Wear OS watch on a budge
am coming from a Tickwatch Pro LTE
Which has been a great watch for the past few years but it’s time for an upgrade. The Ticwatch E3 is not top of the line by any means as far as materials go, the case is made of plastic and the strap was very thin and flimsy so it was the first thing I replaced. Also added a film type screen protector since none of the glass ones cover the entire screen. As far as performance goes, I’m very happy with it. The heart rate and blood oxygenation are pretty accurate compared to the ones my wife uses for her practice. I don’t care to wear a watch to bed but I gave it a shot for a week to check out the sleep monitor and found that it works very well on top of finding out that I move around a lot. I like the automatic exercise detection and choice of over 100 different exercises. Battery life is great and I average a day and a half depending on usage plus you can put the watch into essentials mode and extend the battery life by utilizing minimum functionality. The onboard memory is great for loading playlists or podcasts so you can go for a run or to the gym without having to bring your phone, just add a set of wireless earbuds and you’re good to go. The built-in GPS is awesome as well for keeping track of your runs for walks. There is also a breathing app to keep you centered during your hectic day. Overall, I really like this watch and think that things will only get better once wear OS 3 is released. If you’re looking for a great watch on a budget, this is i
Light, feature rich device
Between 100-140 cheaper than the Pro 3 series and featuring almost all the functionality of the device this watch is actually impressive. The 4100 processor used really makes the device quick and responsive; it’s only let down by a couple of point mentioned below. There are functions not found out of the box on other devices.
Things that really standout:
– Light weight and a smaller form factor.
– Wide range of sensors for automatically detecting some exercise types, walking, running, sleep (out of schedule).
– The System UI, apps and functions are smooth as butter, you can really tell the internals run very very well and can run anything you throw at it.
– An adaptation of essentials mode is featured on the device; switching to a reduced screen and many WearOS functions are disabled.
– Sleep monitoring works well and detects out of schedule sleep sessions (naps). Added some images showing some sleep sessions.
– Google pay opens quickly and is snappy.
What could be better:
– Battery life under my own tests yielded just over a day worth of charge; You could extend this by disabling various automatic sensors.
– The LCD screen protrudes from the watch body slightly; so doesn’t have the extra protection of the watch body/outer frame like the Pro/GPS line.
– LCD screen instead of a LED based screen.
For the cost it’s a very good device for anyone looking to explore WearOS and explore Mobvoi’s Health and Fitness applications.
Smooth performance and lightweigh
The TicWatch E3 from Mobvoi is a competitively priced smartwatch that combines a classic Wear OS experience with fitness tracker abilities, including exercise logs, heart rate monitoring and sleep tracking. Battery holds easy 36 hours of normal use. It is very lightweight (32 grams) and very fast to move through the menu options. IP68 rating makes it suitable for swimming, and once you finish your swim, it will even drain itself of excess water. Inside the watch, you get a built-in speaker and a microphone for Google Assistant commands and taking calls directly on the watch. Audio output proves surprisingly punchy and clarity is good enough to make and take calls too. Having Google integration means you can use first and third-party apps like Google Maps, Google Pay (as the E3 supports NFC), Spotify and others, all available on the Google Play store.
Great functionality for mid range offering
Having previously had a TicWatch and my kids now wanting one (and of an age they can appreciate it) I bought this having preferred the brand to others. Yes there are cheaper options out there but it’s the WearOS that made the decision.
So, the watch is light, perfectly shaped and easy to setup which is important as I don’t want them lugging heavy about. Battery life seems good compared to my Samsung watch and priced correct for what it is.
Sleep function seems accurate enough and overall very pleased with it. All in all having had Samsung, the Huawei and this, it’s a decent mid range watch with loads of functionality.
Incredible Features, Looks Really Good and Unbelievable Value for Money.
I can give this review on the basis of a lot of experience I have with smart watches. I have a Garmin Fenix 6 Pro, which is usually my go to sports/exercise watch. My Garmin is a fantastic watch, although very expensive. However I felt that the features I get from it, required me to pay the high price tag. That was until I found this E3 Smartwatch from Mobvoi!
In brief, the Mobvoi Ticwatch E3 is a fantastic all rounder at a really good price. Here are the main reasons I would highly recommend it;
The price:
This has to be the top reason – the number of features you get with this watch far exceeds the cost when compared to other smart watches. I really was surprised that you can get a watch that pretty much does it all, for such an amazing price. I bought it for 175 and I’ve even seen it cheaper on a Deal Price. I simply cannot find a smart watch on Amazon that is better value for money when considering the features.
The looks:
I mainly bought this watch as a day-to-day work horse. I love my Garmin, but that is for sports and I wanted another watch that was just looked good. The photos on Amazon don’t do the watch justice. It looks really good on the wrist. It is light, so nice to wear all day long. You can change the strap too very easily. The screen is so good, even when it’s in battery saver mode, so on the wrist it just always looks good!
The battery life:
A huge selling point of this watch is the very good battery life. My biggest issue with smart watches is that I hate it when the battery doesn’t last. This was a big reason I chose this watch and it didn’t disappoint. If you use the battery saver, you can even get upto 3 days, if you go for essential mode it will last I think weeks! Let’s just say, I’ve never had it run out on essential mode. It’s just not something you need to worry about on this watch.
The always on:
I also like my smart watches to be on, even when I’m not looking at them. I don’t really like having to always raise my wrist or touch the screen to turn a watch on, sometimes I just want to glance over at it on my wrist and see the time. I also like it to look like a real watch to other people, not just a black screen. With the Ticwatch, the battery is so incredibly good because of their screen technology, I can easily have the always on display without worrying about battery.
You can use it for any sport:
I primarily choose a smart watch for sports. As I said, I have a Garmin for this, so didn’t buy this watch for that purpose, but more as a general watch day to day. What surprised me was how good this watch is for sport. It has an app for pretty much anything and tracks it very well. I love the fact that it’s waterproof and able to track my swimming.
Make Payments:
I love being able to leave my wallet at home and just use my watch. It syncs easily to your Google account and you can pay for things contactless, just like a card. It’s easy to set up, and easy to use.
Health features:
I love the continuous heart rate monitoring and stress management. It’s constantly checking you and again, you don’t have to worry about battery. It’s very useful to know this data to see how healthy you are and what you can do about it.
Fast & easy to use:
The watch is responsive and fast. The screen is clear and bright.
Everything else:
There’s not really anything not to like about this watch. It’s amazing what you get for your money. You can install any apps you want from Google Wear, including new watch faces. There’s even apps testing your hearing, washing your hands reminders, and you can take calls through your phone, on the watch. It does pretty much everything and looks good too.
I recommend this watch very highly. It is an amazing all-rounder. It does it all, with a good battery and looks great too. The price for this quality of watch is superb.
It's really, really good!
The Ticwatch E3 – I’m seriously impressed and happy with this watch.
My favourite parts are the bright screen, speed of use and heartrate log that can be viewed on the watch or in the App. It’s got a really good battery life in comparison to my old Samsung watch too. It’s lightning fast (intentionally I’m sure, judging the Qualcomm Snapdragon it has), so doing something on it doesn’t have that awkward pause that some other watches I’ve tried do, which is great – especially if you’re outdoors like I often am!
I’ve also tried out the sleep recording function – it’s definitely accurate & precise from what I can see – though I’m using it mostly during the day!
The biggest issue I face right now is deciding my favourite watch face.
It’s also really helping me get my minimum 10k steps/day when I’m too busy to go out. It’s been very useful in that respect too.
It isn’t the first time I’ve upgraded to a Ticwatch and it certainly won’t be the last. 10/10.
Amazing watch, better than expected!
I have purchased this E3 watch for my wife as I already had a Pro3 LTE and looking forward to see the difference.
At first I enabled all functions (full time smart mode, sleep, WhatsApp, Emails, calls and so on) to see how much would last and, as expected, it hold for about a day and a half. Then I scheduled the watch to stay in Smart mode from 8.00 to 20.00 and Essential Mode from 20.00 to 8.00. I also removed some of the notifications that I didn’t needed and managed to increase the battery life up to 5 days !!! In order to make sure this was not a one off stand-by I delayed this review couple of weeks to make sure the stand by is constant…and it is…I am in the 4th week and yes, I have a 5 day stand-by. This is perfect since we still get the email, messages, calls, activities and so on and not drain the battery in a day or so.
Also, the soft is really good, I didn’t noticed any delay or lag and it feels really nice. We tried the GPS tracking app in a park and was really cool to see the route of all places that we have been in that day.
Over all, my wife is really happy with her new watch and I will definitely keep an eye on Mobvoi new products!!!
Una excelente opcion calidad-precio
Este reloj de la marca ticwatch que, como se ve por las fotos, se han decantado por hace un reloj minimalista y elegante para todo tipo de ocasiones, este dispone del sistema operativo wear os y de todas sus ventajas y desventajas.
A fin de que a alguien le pueda servir cabe destacar en esta versin del reloj que ahora hablaremos de ellas.
La presentacin de este reloj viene en una caja con el reloj en cuestin bien empaquetado y con su cable usb para cargar, lleva puesta una correa de 20 mm que a no ser que tengas mucha mueca, te va a valer perfectamente, es cmoda y transpira suficiente para que no sudes. En cuanto a tamao del reloj, no molesta para nada, los dos botones se pueden pulsar facilmente y el botn inferior es programable.
En cuanto a bateria, siempre teniendo en cuenta que WearOS no es el ms optimizado en cuanto a gasto de bateria se refiere, han logrado que dure unos 2-3 das con una configuracin habitual que escoges las 4 cosas que te gustan. Pese a eso no es molesto para nada ponerlo a cargar ya que va imantado su cargador.
Una parte importante es que tarda poco en cargar la bateria si necesitas que te aguante para un buen rato con 10-15 minutos aguanta unas horas depende de su uso.
De la pantalla no hay mucho que hablar, son 1,3 pulgadas, que se ven bien en interior y en exterior, se puede poner el brillo en automtico as siempre se va a ver perfecto. En su apartado de pantalla tctil, muy confortable, no dejas todo de huellas y no se pegan los dedos.
Tienes muchsimas funciones como ver el tiempo, funcin de deporte, para monitorizar tu actividad, si es una actividad exterior cuenta con GPS para trazar el recorrido, aadir tu calendario, y un largo etcetera ya que se pueden aadir aplicaciones.
Puedes meterte al agua a nadar con el ya que es resistente al agua y no molesta en nada, luego pasas un modo especial para sacar agua de dentro y ya puedes continuar disfrutando de este.
Mi actual experiencia con el reloj es muy buena, su procesador puede con todo y no se queda bloqueado en ningn momento, sobretodo al hacer deporte algunos relojes de gama baja se pueden bloquear con los sensores y este aguanta a la perfeccin.
Aade la opcin de nfc para los pagos y es muy cmodo no tener que sacar nada al momento de llegar a caja y pagar
Se pueden recibir llamadas, mensajes (y contestar esos mensajes), instalar aplicaciones desde la playstore de WearOS, y muchsimas ms funcionalidades para que este reloj sea un acierto total.
Cracking feature packed watch
I wanted a sports and fitness oriented smart watch and this is a brand I trusted. It has all the features I hoped for and plenty more on the Play App Store. A particularly unanticipated and useful feature is Google Translate – its super convenient having that on your wrist! All the sports and fitness functions are there and easy to use – 10/10 for that.
Used heavily the battery stretches out to 3 days, and if just used like a watch then of course more days are possible.
The only thing I could wish for is for it to make cell calls away from the phone – but that would put it in teh 300+ league I guess. And i pretty much always have a phone with me.
I particularly like the fact the strap has a safety tab too, added security useful on a sports watch. It’d be really hard / impossible for it to undo.
The Goldilocks of smart watches
I’m a bit obsessed with TicWatch. Their products and support are the best I’ve received, and I’ve bought a lot of tech.
I’ve had the Pro 2020 and the GTH from TW and the E3 sits very well in the middle of these two.
First off, battery life. There’s just no way around it with any smart watch. If you want 24 hour heart rate monitoring, all the notifications on, and use the watch to respond to WhatsApp and emails it’s going to reduce the battery to about 2 days use. Which is fine if you charge overnight.
The thing I like most about the E3 is the essential mode. I’ve been camping all week and forgot my charger. Normally I’d just have to accept that, but with the essential mode switched on it’ll last for weeks without a charge. It still counts your steps and you can easily switch it off if you want to use all the bells and whistles to record your hikes.
It feels a lot smaller than the pro2020 and for someone like me who has spindly little wrists it looks good whereas more chunky watches look silly on me.
Feature wise it’s got everything you need plus some other things I haven’t even worked out yet.
I’ve saved the best til last, and that’s the responsiveness of the touchscreen, my pro2020 had lag, this E3 is so much better and the keyboard is surprisingly usable for messaging. It even comes up with very good autosuggestions after you’ve tapped the first few letters. It’s better than my phone’s gboard which is supposed to use ai to predict.
In summary, it’s the best smartwatch at that price point.
Great smartwatch, comfy, powerful, supports WearOS3
This is a great smartwatch! Have been using it for almost a week now, and loving it so far 🙂
I can’t really find any negative things to say about it yet.
My experience with it so far is as follows…
– Comfortable to wear, lightweight, but looks/feels like a quality watch.
– Powerful processor and lots of memory, so beats all other smartwatches I have used up to date in this area. This is a big pro!
– Have been using it almost a week now and so far battery life is as advertised, up to 72 hours, depending on how you use it. I find if I use it a lot, with all features enabled, then I get around 48 hours out of it. If I disable some of the features I don’t always need/use, use it a bit less, then I can get up to 72 hours out of it. So I’m basically charging it every other day, as I prefer not to let the battery on my devices to get under 20%. On essential mode it hardly uses any battery, so will last many many days if need be.
– Phonecalls are crisp and clear, both when making and receiving calls.
– Smooth experience when navigating through the watches menus and when running apps. Experienced no lag or sluggishness at all.
– Supports the latest WearOS3, so future proof for several year too.
Super watch
I apsolutally love this watch!!!. Its a good size and the font is easy to read, very responsive to touch and to wake up when you tilt your wrist. There are a vast array of apps for this on Google wear from sleep apps to calculators to watch face apps there’s apps for everyone. The best feature for me is I can see who is calling on the watch so saves me getting my phone out of my pocket all the time plus I can answer the call on this watch so if iv left my phone in the kitchen an I’m in the sitting room I don’t have to miss the call I can just answer on the watch and this feature works great. Iv my Google assistant on my watch too so I can turn lights on or off, or ask Google questions via the watch and again this works great. In fact all the apps I have tried work great via the watch. You can change straps to none ticwatch straps as they are a standard size so ur prety much unlimited as to what watch strap you can buy. The battery life is good iv been getting 4 days out if this which I think is impressive. With this being a ticwatch and not a BIG branded watch like Samsung or Apple I don’t think I’m missing out on anything at all with this much cheeper watch it has all I need an much much more to offer. It will automatically start tracking a run as soon as it detects that you are running and you have a choice of Google fit or TicExcercise to track your fitness both have loads of different workout avaliable. It also has Google pay too which is very useful. Now I have this watch I’m sure I will be using my phone alot less as my agenda, Google assistant, fitness trackers, notifications, messages from various platforms such as Facebook messenger, WhatsApp, text messages can all be read on this watch. It’s fast and very responsive carrys all the info you need i dont think theres anything missing from this watch that i would need or even want to see. Well wourth the money. Thanks TicWatch for a super watch keep up the great work.
He regalado este reloj a mi mujer as que ser ella quien de su opinin. Yo puedo compararlo con el TicWatch 3 Ultra GPS Pro, y he de decir que son muy pocas las diferencias. Me parece una eleccin muy acertada.

Les contar del smartwach desde mi punto de vista. Despus de un uso continuado de 20 das puedo decir que me siento totalmente satisfecha. Lo divid en pros y contras para que fuese ms fcil para aquellos que no les gusta leer mucho Para los que les interesa saber y conocer un poco ms, aqu les va.
Primero debo empezar con el diseo, y es que cuando lo vi pens es muy lindo, sencillo y elegante pero es muy grande y mi mueca es muy fina, entonces se me ver extravagante, pero nada ms lejos de la realidad, se ve genial y me gusta porque adems cuando lo coges es muy ligero y ni te enteras que lo llevas, eso es un gran pro porque no es nada molesto ni siquiera para dormir.
La correa es de silicona pero es delicada y suave, la verdad es que el diseo es muy sutil.
Los botones son suaves pero firmes lo que es bueno porque no se activan sin querer, pero tampoco son duros al presionar.
La pantalla la puedes encender con un ligero toque y apagar colocando la mano encima. Yo decid desactivar la funcin de encender cuando se hace el movimiento de subir la mano (porque muevo mucho las manos, entonces la encenda a cada 2 seg.) As que si quiero ver la hora lo activo cuando lo necesite y as le ahorro ms batera.
En cuanto al brillo se ve tan bien y claro que lo tengo al mnimo y se ve perfecto, cuando necesito un poco ms de luz le doy doble clic al botn de arriba y listo. (Adems as, tambin se ahorra batera)
Puedo decir que tiene muchas esferas y se ve desde elegante hasta deportivo y eso le da mucha versatilidad.
Tiene muchas funciones, y de forma muy frecuente uso sobre todo las siguientes (obviamente esto va a influir en las prioridades de cada uno):
– Asistente de Google
– Mensajes
– Tiempo
– SaludTic
– Contactos
– Telfono
– Alarma
– Play Store (actualizaciones automticas)
– PulsoTic
– OxgenoTic
Y una de las ms importantes en mi opinin: el “drenaje del altavoz”. Esto me permite baarme con el smartwach sin retirarlo y con total tranquilidad.
Siempre he ledo muchas controversias sobre si se puede o no mojar este reloj y la verdad lo he usado solo para baarme en duchas de 10 a 15 min (agua caliente, jabn) lo normal, fregar los platos, cocinar, lavado de manos Y la nica precaucin que tengo es en el caso de las duchas drenar el altavoz y durante este tiempo no ha fallado nada.
De procesador poco s, pero findome de mi instinto y paciencia un tanto exigente, me atrevo a decir que me gusta que sea rpido el funcionamiento, no se queda colgado, es muy fluido y dinmico.
Si hablamos del Wear OS sabemos que es un sistema operativo que consume muchsimos recursos (tal cual un mvil) y sin embargo, con las caractersticas de este smartwach fluye con total naturalidad, es decir, no se nota pesado.
La batera Queremos un 10 en todo y es que no se puede tener todo y ms (porque para eso se paga ms). Vuelvo y repito, en mi humilde opinin, que es una batera de 8, por qu me va a suponer un problema cargar el reloj cada dos das, si mi mvil, que lo uso casi 16 horas al da tengo que cargarlo al acostarme cada noche (y ojo, sino antes)?
Carga sper rpido, en poco ms de una hora ya est al 100% (desde un 14%), eso para m es un plus.
Nota Importante si quieres que te dure ms la batera: durante el descanso por la noche activa la siguiente combinacin:
– No molestar
– Modo avin
– Modo cine
No recibirs mensajes ni molestias por la noche, no se activar la pantalla en caso de que la toques de forma involuntaria (imagina el fogonazo en medio de la noche si arrimas la mano a la cara) y los sensores seguirn funcionando para medir tu pulso, sueo y oxigenacin de sangre.
Otra cosa que me encanta, es poder realizar los pagos con Google Pay, al tener NFC, la vida es mucho ms fcil y quien lo tiene me entender, quien no, lo amar. Porque te evitas de estar sacando la tarjeta, el mvil Aades las tarjetas que desees y a pagar. Importante: No necesitas llevar el mvil contigo El pago con NFC es totalmente autnomo una vez lo configuras.
En cuanto a las llamadas, se escucha y te escuchan con claridad, lo que te permite hacer lo que quieras mientras ests en una llamada. Responder mensajes es un poco ms lioso aunque al tener reconocimiento de voz puedes salir del paso.
Por supuesto puedes controlar la msica pero lo mejor es poder descargarla, almacenarla y escucharla mientras haces deportes sin necesidad del mvil (con unos auriculares bluetooth o un altavoz).
S que son muchas cosas y mil las dudas, cualquier cosita no dudes en preguntar.
Great Smartwatch
I have been very happy with TicWatch models, and the E3 is no exception. It has a great battery and is very responsive to taps and button pushes. I like that it runs Google’s Wear OS, which gives a larger choice of watch faces and other apps for the watch than I would expect from a company-specific OS. When I used the always-on display (and light daily use) for a full day (for me, about 16 hours) the battery was still at about 50%. It was still at about 70% after a full day with the always-on display turned off. And it only dropped a few % when I left it for 24 hours in essential mode (with no other use).
Compared to the Pro 4G (which is an older model than the Pro 3), my previous watch, the E3 is smaller and lighter. It does not have the bezel with watch numbers that the 4G has, making it feel smoother to do gestures starting at the edge of the screen, and reducing the size. The E3 does have an “essential” mode, but this is different from the 4G’s “essential” mode. The 4G has an additional LCD screen which constantly shows the time in essential mode, which the E3 does not have. Instead, in essential mode, the E3 will turn off the display (and many other functions) to save battery, but the screen will turn on when you tilt your wrist to see the time. The display that is shown is not your selected watch face, but (I assume) TicWatch’s built-in face. When not in essential mode, if the always-on display is turned off, the watch will always display a face when you tilt it toward you, but if you’ve turned off the “Tilt to wake screen” option then the face is the built-in face, and if you have the tilt option turned on, then the face is your selected face. Tapping the face will also turn on the display with your selected face (but not in essential mode). I will say the battery on the 4G seemed better, in that with the always-on display turned on, the 4G is usually at 70% charge at the end of the day, where the E3 was around 50%, with similar usage. But the 4G is a bit bigger and heavier, so that may be the battery. It may also be due to the E3 having more sensors in use.
Always Delive
Whenever I pruchase from ticwatch the quality is always there, and with this new iteration E3 they have delivered once again. I have been having trouble with sleep and the tracker worked a treat for me to exactly explain to my doctor what was going on. Great purchase! Can’t wait for what else they bring out!
Great Smartwatch for its price point... Recommended as a starter watch
I have had 2 Tic Watches previously and am using Tic Watch Pro S currently. I bought this one for my wife. She has used a couple of smartwatches/bands like Amazfit and Mi Band. She wears the watch in a loose position because of this the sensors on her previous watches could not get the reading for her heart rate as well as activity tracking. She has not had any issues with E3. She has been tracking the information on a daily basis and is quite happy with it.
She uses the NFC payments feature on the watch and has had no problems with the set-up or the use.
The App is a bit basic and it could do with more features and for it be more user friendly.
She charges the watch in the morning every day and it has not required any additional charging as off now. We had to play with the settings to disable it from going to the battery-saving screen. The only complaint she has is the size of the screen and the watch but compared to Pro S it is smaller in size. The review is based on our usage of the smartwatch for 10 days. I will try to update the review after 30 days of use.
The watch is quite responsive and the strap is nice to the touch. I am looking to get it for myself once my Pro S decides to pack up.
Amazing battery life and lightning fast. Some unique and useful features too
I’ve loved every single aspect of this watch since the moment I got it. First of all its style. It looks really nice on the wrist and isn’t too bulky like many other watches. It’s also incredibly light. I forget that it’s there most of the time until I get a notification or I need to use it. It never gets in the way.
I have 24hr active heart-rate monitoring turned on where it checks my heart rate regularly and logs it AND I use my watch to control a lot of my smart home devices AND I have the always-on screen turned on…. yet every night it usually has 30-40% battery left still. I have zero complaints about its battery life. It does everything I want it to and has more to spare if I end up staying somewhere else for the night without my charger.
As you can see from the video. The Ticwatch E3 is incredibly snappy. Its processor is clearly doing its job very well and I’m not sure there’s a comparison when it comes to snappiness, at least for Wear OS watches right now. I haven’t noticed any significant slow-downs or any lag when performing functions.
There are many custom watch faces to choose from and I’ve opted for a fairly colourful one as you can see. The NFC works perfectly for Google Pay and it’s been great to be able to go swimming and have a shower with this watch on and not have to worry about it breaking.
All in all, I would highly highly recommend this watch to anyone who wants a small light smartwatch that’s lightning fast with great battery life and some unique features.
Its reall good for the price
This is a lower priced watch compared to others I considered, but the battery life is as stated. I charge every other day and never run flat.
It syncs well with my phone. All the info is presented on the app in a easy to read format.
I’m really pleased with my purchase
Ticwatch E3 is like Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra another superb wear OS smartwatch.
Ticwatch E3 is like Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra another superb wear OS smartwatch. Battery last two days with always on display and all tracking functions on, generally android google wear is best smartwatch system with lots 3rd party apps, Ticwatch E3 working quick, no delay. Designed is modern like it more than Pro 3 Ultra, and is really comfortable to wearing.
Fantastic mid-range smart watch
I’ve had a number of smartwatches over the years including the original TicWatch Pro and I think it is safe to say that the E3 lived up to and exceeded my expectations.
It is at a reasonable price point; more so when I ordered it from Amazon as there was a discount bringing the price down to 139. The watch face is a bit smaller and lighter than my old TicWatch Pro but a little larger than my Garmin Forerunner 245 (see photo). The battery is decent and can easily last 1.5-2 days in my experience of reasonable use; I turned the exercise tracker on while on a 3-hour walk and it depleted about 35% of the battery.
It has a good collection of sensors that allow for sports tracking including GPS. The heart rate monitoring works reasonable well and gives me consistent readings with other monitors. The underlying WearOS operating system from Google means it works well with Android – I haven’t tried it paired with an Apple device; it also means there is a good selection of apps available. The processor in the watch provides for snappy, responsive interactions with the touch screen. Much more responsive than my old TicWatch Pro.
I’m a fan of smartwatches and I find them to be a good way to minimise the amount I take my phone out of my pocket as I can triage and manage the many notifications that I receive. The ability to give quick responses to messages is really useful. Overall I think the E3 is a really nice, functional, well-priced watch that has a lot of functionality and does all of the key things I want it to do. It has a nice balance of smartphone style apps and sport/fitness functionality.
Great budget alternative to the Pro versio
I have the TicWatch Pro 3 and didn’t think this cheaper version would match up to it’s feature rich younger brother but I was pleasantly surprised. I have been using the E3 for a week now and here is what I think so far.
Performance:
I haven’t noticed any difference in performance in the day to day use of the watch. Opening and closing apps works smoothly and messages pop up as quickly as my phone displays them. It did stutter with using Ok Google a couple of times but nothing to be concerned about. WhatsApp messages don’t always show on the watch but from what I’ve read that’s more an issue with Wear OS.
Battery:
So I have had all the sensors on throughout out the week tracking 24 hour heart rate, sleep, TicZen etc and am having to charge every other day which isn’t bad with the amount of data it’s collecting. I could probably squeeze more out of it by turning some of these off but with the essential mode kicking in when the battery is low helps keep the basis working if needed.
Look & Feel:
So compared to the Pro 3 the look doesn’t go far. The bezel is quite big too but you get used to this. It definitely looks cheaper and more plastic but as a positive feels lighter and fit’s just as well as it’s counterpart.
Overall:
I’d say to anyone who is looking to invest into a mid range smart watch, definitely consider this as an option. It ticks plenty of boxes and holds up against the top end watches too.
Value for money
This watch has lots to offer you. As I am existing tic watch 3 Pro GPS an HD Pro user I found even tic watch E3 offers you same features but only difference is battery power still it can last 2 days with all smart features on.
If you are in fitness then it has 100s of sports tracking options just wear and track your workout activities.
It can also track your day today health from sleep to heart beat it covers all the espects.
I think this space won’t be enough for me i can keep going on. If you planning to buy one within your budget then this watch won’t make you sad. I would recommend just go for it.
Thanks.
Good all-rounder at a great price!
I have to admit that I was rather slow to get on the smartwatch train until I developed a health condition that required me to keep an eye on my heart rate. Combined with being curious about my sleep quality/duration I took my friends advice and bought a TicWatch E3.
I have to admit, it’s gone far beyond my expectations – when I bought it I didn’t even know I could wear it while swimming, and being able to use Google Pay to purchase things using contact less is fantastic.
I also love how well it connects to my Samsung S20 apps, including the MediSafe app I use to keep track of when I need to take my medications.
Overall it has been one of my best purchases of the last few years!
Good all round Android Wear smartwatch.
I’ve had a couple of Android Wear smartwatches over the years (Moto, Fossil, Samsung) and this E3 has been my favourite so far. I bought this as I’d seen the rumours about it being one of the few devices that would get the new Android Wear / Samsung operating system in 2022 (this still appears to be case) and for the very reasonable price tag.
My first Mobvoi product and it won’t be the the last. the build quality is good, their application to control the device is nice — I really like the fitness and sleep tracking.
Design is spot o
Great all round watch. Best smart watch I’ve ever owned, can’t fault it in any way.
Excellent value, great performance
The price and the performance is incredibly amazing. I charged it in less than 2 hours. Connectivity is very easy to my phone and setup was very quick. Thanks to the Qualcomm processor inside, the swipes and gestures are so quick and there is not any delay. Great job! It is very light and comfortable to wear. I especially like its minimalist and modern design. I’m very pleased with this smartwatch and I would recommend it. It will be a perfect gift as well for your beloved ones.
Inexpensive but packed with features...and some hidden ones too..
This is my first smartwatch. For the price, it comes packed with features albeit in a cheaper plastic chassis.
In addition to having all the fitness and well-being tools you expect to find in a more premium model it appears to have hidden capabilities.
The specifications on the website suggest that music and other media can be streamed not stored on the E3. Third party apps proved that you can, even though the amount of space is rather limited. No mention was made of being able to play video. I discovered that you can; at least short 20-30 MB mp4 or ogg theora media. It may not be practical to use this device thus ( it’s a battery killer) but it’s nice to have the option. It also has the capability to read ebooks with file extension .txt.
The device features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4100 processor which suggests upgradability to WearOS 3.
A life long lover of mechanical watches, this device has presented me with a compelling case for the smartwatch. The Mobvoi TicWatch E3 has the ticked the boxes in my case.
ich habe die TicWatch E3 fr meine Frau als Ergnzung zu meiner TicWatch 3 Ultra gekauft, nachdem ich zuvor mit der TicWatch Pro 2 bereits total zufrieden war. So wusste ich vorab schon, dass von Mobvoi kein Mist fabriziert wird und ich auf hier auf etwas qualitatives setze.
Ich fange einfach einmal von vorne an:
Verpackung:
Soweit so gut. Mir sind keine negativen Punkte aufgefallen. Die Uhr und das Ladekabel sowie der Papierkram sind in einer standesgemen Verpackung gut und sicher verpackt. Die Verpackung ist stabil und macht optisch einen guten Eindruck. Wobei die Optik ja Geschmackssache sein kann. Nicht mehr als ntig und trotzdem dem Zweck vollkommen gerecht.
Zubehr:
Neben der Uhr inklusive Armband liegt als Zubehr bei:
– Ein Ladekabel (Standard-USB zu Ladeadapter)
– Papierkram
– Achtung: KEIN Netzteil!
Zum Ladekabel:
Es hat auf der einen Seite einen Standard USB-A Anschluss und auf der anderen Seite einen magnetischen Anschluss fr die Verbindung zur Uhr. Das Kabel ist ca. 1 Meter lang und hat eine flache Form. Zum Laden muss das Kabel einfach hinten an die Uhr via der integrierten Magnete “geklebt” werden und schon ldt die Uhr.
Zum Armband:
Das Armband ist vollstndig aus Gummi ohne irgendwelchem optischen Schnickschnack. Schlicht und einfach gehalten. Das Armband macht kein unangenehmes Gefhl auf der Haut (oder an den Armhaaren 😉 ) und ist vollkommen OK. Wer es allerdings etwas individueller oder hochwertiger mchte, der kann das Armband auch gegen andere Standard-Armbnder austauschen.
Zur TicWatch E3:
Die Uhr an sich ist super leicht im Vergleich zur TicWatch 3 Ultra. Dies liegt an dem Kunststoffkorpus sowie an der schlichteren Aufmachung des Displays (kein Zier-Kranz etc.). Dennoch sieht alles hochwertig aus und wre optisch nicht von einem lackierten Metallgehuse zu unterscheiden. Kratzer habe ich whrend meiner ersten Woche nicht in die Uhr bekommen. Weder am Korpus noch auf dem Display. Die beiden Knpfe lassen sich gut drcken. Nicht zu schwer, nicht zu leicht und man merkt deutlich wann der Knopf gedrckt wurde. Das Display ist wie gesagt schlicht und ohne “Deko” gehalten. Auen um das eigentliche Display herum ist ein ca. 5mm breiter schwarzer Rand, der unter dem Glas liegt und somit eigentlich kaum auffllt – Vergleichbar mit “Umrandungen” bei Smartphones.
Inbetriebnahme (WearOS):
Die TicWatch kam zu ca. 30% aufgeladen bei mir an. Ein kurzes gedrckt-halten des oberen Knopfes erweckte diese zum Leben. Zunchst erscheint das TicWatch Logo und anschlieend kann die Einrichtung des auf WearOS basierten Betriebssystems der Uhr mit einem Tab auf den Bildschirm beginnen.
Das Setup beginnt mit der Sprachauswahl. Standardmig ist Englisch die Sprache, aber auch Deutsch lsst sich ohne Scrollen direkt auswhlen. Anschlieend muss der “Papierkram” besttigt werden und schon kann die Kopplung an das Smartphone beginnen. Um dies zu beginnen muss die App “WearOS” auf dem Smartphone installiert werden. Dann muss die App gestartet werden und eine neue Smartwatch mit der App verbunden werden. Beim Kopplungsprozess tauchte die Uhr bei mir doppelt auf. Ich habe den ersten Eintrag ausgewhlt und den Kopplungscode, der anschlieend erscheint, besttigt. Der Rest passiert dann schon von alleine und ich muss erst einmal nichts weiter tun. Der Einrichtungsprozess luft in den folgenden wenigen Minuten, abgesehen von ein paar Besttigungsdialogen, von alleine durch.
Nachdem die Uhr ein paar Minuten luft, meldet sich auch schon der Play Store und mchte sich und diverse Apps einmal aktualisieren. Dies sollte auch gemacht werden. Fertig ist die Uhr.
Display:
Es gibt zwei Ansichten beim Display. Eine Ansicht, die erscheint, wenn man auf die Uhr guckt mit den ntigsten Daten und eine andere Ansicht, die erscheint, wenn man einen der Knpfe der TicWatch bettigt. Dier erste Ansicht ist soweit ich es verstanden habe energiesparender als die zweite Ansicht, aus der heraus man die Uhr dann vollstndig bedienen kann.
An Farbwidergabe o.. sind mir keine negativen Punkte aufgefallen. Die Helligkeit scheint sich nicht der Umgebungshelligkeit anzupassen.
Was aber vor allem meiner Frau gefllt ist, dass die Uhr sehr dezent und schlicht ist und dadurch regelrecht elegant und weniger maskulin wirkt (ihre Worte).
Batterielaufzeit:
Ich habe die Uhr nun eine Woche lange mit Ausnahme der Laderunden rund um die Uhr getragen. Dabei waren auch die 24h berwachung von Puls und Sauerstoffsttigung im Blut aktiviert, welche explizit eine sehr negative Auswirkung auf die Uhr haben. Der Akku hlt so ohne Probleme zwei Tage durch. Zum Testen habe ich die beiden aktivierten Funktionen einmal fr eine Nacht deaktiviert. Hochgerechnet msste der Akku auf diese Weise dann auch drei Tage durchhalten.
Konnektivitt:
Die Uhr kann via Bluetooth und WLAN kommunizieren. Ein Mobilfunkmodul ist nicht eingebaut.
Gesundheitsdaten:
Die TicWatch E3 wird mit einer “Herzfrequenzberwachung” und “Stressmanagement” beworben. Zunchst einmal, was das berhaupt bedeutet:
1. Herzfrequenzberwachung: Diese Funktion soll unregelmige Herzschlge und Aussetzter von Herzschlgen erkennen. Also im Grunde Herzrythmusstrungen erkennen. Aber natrlich auch einfach den Puls messen, damit dieser spter ausgewertet werden kann.
2. Stressmanagement: Hier sagt das Wort an sich vermutlich schon alles. Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass dies ggf. ber den Blutdruck und/oder Puls sowie die aktive Zeit am Tag ausgewertet wird. Ansonsten ist der Catchphrase vermutlich auch auf die App “TicZen” (siehe unten) bezogen.
Auch andere gngige Werte wie Schrittzhler und Pulsmessung beherrscht die TicWatch E3.
Da ich keine Werte durch professionelle medizinische Gerte ermitteln kann, kann ich natrlich nicht sagen wie genau und korrekt die Werte sind. Aber es ist sicherlich nicht verkehrt bei erkannten Problemen den Hausarzt einmal darauf anzusprechen und auch die entsprechenden Auswertungen vorzuhalten.
Mobvoi hat diverse Gesundheitsapps in die Uhr integriert. Diese beginnen alle mit dem Wort “Tic”.
TicGesundheit: Zhlt die aktiven Stunden, gelaufenen Schritte und die Dauer von durchgefhrten bungen in einem Kreisdiagramm. Auerdem zeigt es verbrauchte Kalorien und zurckgelegte Strecke an. Auch eine 24 Stunden berwachung lsst sich aktivieren. Standardmig ist diese deaktiviert.
Ticbung: Hier lsst sich eine Aktivitt auswhlen und die Smartwatch protokolliert diese anhand von Bewegungen und GPS Daten
TicPuls: Mit der App lsst sich der Puls anzeigen. Auch hier lsst sich optional eine 24h-berwachung aktivieren.
TicSchlaf: Diese App erkennt Schlaf und zeichnet diesen auf.
TicBlutsauerstoff: Diese App misst den Blutsauerstoff. Auch hier ist optional eine 24h-berwachung mglich. Diese misst allerdings nur ca. 1x in der Stunde. D.h. eine detaillierte berwachung z.B. des Schlafs bzgl. Schlaf-Anpoe ist mit dieser App nicht mglich. Hierzu gibt es aber Alternativen.
TicZen: Diese App misst den “Druck”. Damit ist sicherlich “Stress” gemeint. Eine einzelne Messung dauert mehrere Minuten und gibt am Ende einen Wert zwischen 0 und 100 aus. Ich hatte beim Schreiben dieses Textes einen Stresslevel von 45.
TicAtmung: Mit dieser App soll der Stresslevel reduziert werden. Sie untersttzt einen dabei eine Minute ruhig zu atmen und misst dabei den Puls.
TicLrm: TicLrm msst die aktuelle Lautstrke um einen herum und die dadurch entstehende Lrmbelastung.
TicCare: TicCare dient zum Austausch der Gesundheitsdaten mit Freunden, Verwandten oder der ganzen Welt. Dies ist per Standard alles natrlich nicht der Fall!
Was mich an allen der Tic-Apps strt ist, dass man eine Mobvoi ID bentigt um nicht bei jedem einzelnen Start einer App darauf hingewiesen zu werden, dass man diese anlegen sollte und immer wieder den Schritt berspringen muss. Dies ist wirklich strend.
Die Standard-Google-Health-Apps sind natrlich auch auf der Uhr.
Companion App “Mobvoi” fr das Smartphone:
Auch hier: Jedes mal Nachfrage der Zustimmung zum Upload der Daten in die Cloud. Auch wenn diese immer wieder verwehrt wurde. Konsequenter Weise msste dies auch nach gettigter Zustimmung jedes Mal erfolgen oder, wie im Falle einer Zustimmung, nur ein Mal. Ansonsten ist die App sehr bersichtlich im positiven Sinne und zeigt vor allem die Gesundheitsdaten gebndelt an. Sie versucht durch ein wchentliches Ziel einem zudem zu mehr Bewegung zu animieren. Auch kann man hier kostenlose und kostenpflichte Watchfaces auswhlen sowie Audioaufnahmen und Screenshots von der TicWatch herunterladen. Auch knnen hier, wie in der TicCare App, ber TicCare andere Personen mit der App gekoppelt und verglichen werden. Am Ende also nichts, was man nicht auf der TicWatch machen knnte, allerdings Dank grerem Display deutlich bersichtlicher.
GPS / Kompass:
Abseits der Fitness Apps, kann hier z.B. Google Maps ber den Play Store bezogen werden. Hiermit kann das GPS dann auch getestet werden und ich war erstaunt, dass selbst an drinnen meinem PC mit geschlossenen Rolllden der GPS Empfang so gut war, dass auf 1-2 Meter genau meine Position auf Anhieb ermittelt werden konnte.
Lautsprecher / Mikrofon:
Ich konnte testen mit der Uhr zu telefonieren. Hierbei fungiert die Uhr technisch gesehen als Bluetooth-Headset fr das Smartphone, auf dem der entsprechende Anruf eigentlichg gefhrt wird. Natrlich kommt beim Lautsprecher kein 7.1 Surround Sound aus der TicWatch, aber um zu telefonieren wenn das Handy mal nicht zur Hand ist, ist die Qualitt vollkommen ausreichend – sofern einen natrlich nicht strt, dass andere das Gesprch auch mithren. Auch der Gegenber konnte sich nicht darber beschweren, dass ich irgendwie schwer verstndlich war oder er sich selbst gehrt hat.
Zusammenfassung:
Die erste Woche mit der TicWatch E3 lief fr mich bzw. meine Frau vollkommen zufriedenstellend.
Die Ausstattung inklusive dem neuen Qualcomm Snapdragon 4100+ sorgt fr eine wirklich flssige Oberflche ohne irgendwelche Ruckler oder Wartezeiten. 8GB Speicherplatz klingt in der heutigen Zeit zwar wenig, aber das hier ist eine Uhr. Da werden keine Filme und Videos oder groartige Spiele drauf installiert, die diesen Speicherplatz brauchen. Daher denke ich zum jetztigen Zeitpunkt, dass die Ausstattung absolut ausreichend ist – auch fr die nchsten Jahre.
Die Gesundheits-Apps knnten hier und da eine bessere bersetzung gebrauchen und eine Anpassung an lngere Texte. Einige Textfelder sind zu klein um den ganzen (Deutschen) Text anzuzeigen. Auch die erwhnte hartnckige Aufforderung eine Mobvoi ID anzulegen nervt. Also entweder weiterhin jedes mal “Skip” auswhlen oder die ID anlegen. Man kann die Apps natrlich auch einfach nicht nutzen.
Von meiner Seite aus ist die Uhr eine klare Empfehlung fr die, denen die TicWatch 3 Ultra zu teuer ist und ich wrde sie nach aktuellem Stand noch einmal kaufen. Trotz einiger geringfgiger Kleinigkeit gibt es daher von mir volle 5 Sterne.
My first smart watch, and I love i
For me, this watch (TicWatch E3) does everything I want it to; a flick of the wrist and I can see the time, date and a 3 bar view of the battery life.
Tap the screen and you get the main screen. Swipe up to see notifications, swipe right for Google Assistant. Swipe down for settings, and wipe left for other stuff (I’ve not really looked into whether I can alter that – you get the activity stats, weather , calendar and heart monitor by default).
Top button give you your apps menu, and the bottom button you can configure for sure – I have it set to open Google Pay.
Battery life is better than I expected too, anywhere from 1 1/2 days to over 2 days depending on how much I use it (note: I’ve got ALL the monitors on all the time for this, I could probably get more life if I turned some of them off).
It’s really, really responsive – I forget which CPU it has but it works really well, and the screen gives me no reason to complain.
It is a little thick at about 8mm, but I soon got used to that and I don’t notice anymore; I find it comfortable to wear, other than adjusting the strap from time to time.
I mostly use it for checking notifications, google assistant for home automation and setting timers and reminders etc, Google Pay, as well as Spotify and a couple of other apps that work well (DUO 2FA app being one of them – a bit niche but it works well, for anyone reading who uses it).
In terms of home automation, with no setup I was able to command the various devices I already had apps for on my phone, with just one needing me to grant a new permission. Alexa’s days are numbered for me, I think.
Overall, I think it’s really great for the price.
Lastly… being able to take over and play anything on my mate’s audio system with Spotify from my watch is just priceless 😀
Very decent watch for the price
Had it for few months now and it’s reliable watch. Bought it for work and didn’t want to spend a lot of money for a top brand.
Health apps work fine, call quality is good and it’s got all usua functionalities you need.
Battery life similar to my old Samsung watch. It goes on charge every night so no problems with running out of juice.
A really good smartwatch if you have the correct expectations
I really like this watch and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it but you need the correct expectations. If you are someone who is serious about workouts and are looking for a watch that tracks your activity for weeks on end, then this isn’t the watch for you. If, however, you are looking for a smartwatch that you can get up to 2 days use (turn off always on and notifications from apps that you aren’t really interested in) that has really good smart capabilities, then this is really great watch. Tracking is good, is probably higher than the correct numbers, but I wouldn’t expect something this small to be 100% accurate. All in all, a great watch that’s in line for the update and won’t break the bank.
Good functionality, Good value, can improve battery life and exercise/sleep tracking
I have been using TicWatch E3 for 9 months now and am impressed by how stylish it looks and the functionality it offers using Google wear OS. Particularly amazing is the having Google Pay (NFC) on the watch and apps like Google Keep, Calm, Spotify and so on. Connectivity is both through Bluetooth connection to the phone and direct WiFi and the watch has its own GPS too. Watch faces are great and generally I like most things about the watch. A good buy for the price point.
On the negatives, there are three niggles that I hope Mobvoi address quickly. 1. The watch seems to have two separate step/exercise counters (likely one by Mobvoi and the other by Google) that are always out of sync – the result being, the essential screen and third-party watch faces show different counts than the native watch faces and phone apps. 2. The battery life isn’t great which means I need to charge every night and thus unable to track sleep regularly. 3. Sleep and exercise tracking isn’t very accurate. Other than that, other slight annoyances are that the watch is very prone to scratches and the silicon strap isn’t great quality/ durability – causes infections with trapped water/sweat and loses colour soon. Also the iOS app lacks functionality compared to the Android one – really leaving only the Apple Watch as a complete smart watch experience for iPhone iOS users with no alternative.
So good so far but can do bette
I have been using this wristwatch now for like 3 months and I must say I have enjoyed it pretty well.
I didn’t even realise I can receive calls on it as an added bonus. Honestly, I have enjoyed using it.
A few letdowns and the biggest of them for me as the app is a bit clunky and isn’t smooth with good UX enough for me secondly, the battery life isn’t that great. You defo have to charge daily.
Now, if you can take the pain of charging daily out, Honestly, it does everything very well and you’ll enjoy using it.
Oh did I mention that the sleep tracking feature is amazing? That’s the best for me. I don’t sleep that much but it’s good as the watch does track very well and suggests how much deep sleep I got say in the last 5 hours overnight. That’s so important and impressive to me. Get you one folk.
5 stars is in ordeal? Haha
Great watch with a poor battery
Overall I would recommend that watch as function are working well. Very light, like extremely light. The only downside is the battery. Watch need to be charged almost every day.

A smooth running watch with the most recent wear 4100 processo
Having owned the original TicWatch Pro I was really excited to upgrade to the E3.
Compared to my old watch the E3 is miles ahead it’s snappy and responsive, the older pro was always lagged a bit whereas the E3 is smooth and quick to load apps and, most importantly wakes almost immediately as you lift your wrist.
Although a budget wear watch it doesn’t look cheap by any means. The dark grey case looks nice and smart, the screen is nice and smooth to touch and very responsive and the poly-carbonate casing means it feels a lot lighter than the Pro. Although the bezel is a little large for my liking when paired with a darker watch face it’s not obvious and didn’t stand out as much as I thought it might. The supplied silicone wrist band is slim and comfortable enough but I’m not keen on silicone straps so fitted a new metal strap after a couple of days which was a simple process of unclipping the old strap by hand and fitting the new one, no tools needed.
Battery wise I have found that with 24hr Oxygen and Heart-rate monitoring turned on and the automatic essential mode kicking in over night I get 2 full days out of my battery which, although a little less than I’d like is still miles better than the TWPro was when new and seems to be in-line with every other WearOS watch.
Software wise it’s a step above the older TWPro with a much nicer menu layout, you can drag and drop the shortcuts to any position in the menu so the most used ones are at the top which is a step above the older WearOS and I like the being able to automatically turn the essential mode on and off overnight.
Being a new watch on the 4100 processor the E3 is also going to be one of the first on WearOS 3.0 which is another plus.
The only feature I’ve found myself missing from the Pro range is the automatic brightness adjustment, a couple of times I’ve gone outside in the sun and struggled to read the display.
Overall though, for the money I’m very impressed and pleased with my purchase

Barttery life could be better but I love this watch
I actually love everything in this watch only barttery live could be longe
Hmmmm
Received the watch and all good. Set up was easy and apps all worked well.
Battery was okish seemed to improve after a couple of charges and got a out a day and half out of it.
The top button got stuck in and then popped of so build quality needs improving.
Not a bad watch but not great either.

Great smart watch
I was looking for an xmas present for my other half and as I already own a Pro3 was looking at Mobvoi as I’ve not had a any problems with the products before, and found this E3 model. It fitted all the things I was looking for, lightweight, waterproof, good battery life, and most importantly WearOS. It’s got the newest processor that’s out for smartwatches and it really shows with fast start-up and hardly any lagging, and as a bonus it’s compatible with the next WearOS due out later this year I’ve had a few smartwatches running other OS and there’s just nothing to compare with, 100’s of apps and very easy to pair with your phone (can’t comment on iPhone connections as i use Android). All in all a very good mid range smartwatch

Good touch.Also plenty of settings.
I liked the way it was very touch responsive.
Lots of settings.Great connectivity.
Also readings are very accurate.
Battery with use about a day .
I purchased the TicWatch E3 Smartwatch for my 13 year old son as a replacement for his older semi-smart watch. Much of this review is from him, with some of my opinions thrown in as well! I myself have a TicWatch 3 Pro Ultra GPS, so will make some comparisons to that model.
Packaging
His word was “Slick”
Outwardly, the packaging of the watch was very similar to the previous versions, a high-quality box containing the watch, instructions, and charger, all packaged with care to ensure a flawless product on delivery.
Watch Design
Overall, we both think the watch looks very good. It has a metallic feeling casing, and flush glass with a small outer bezel.
The watch feels sturdy, yet at the same time quite lightweight for its size. The watch is quite thick, but not excessively so.
Tactile, not fiddly, can’t accidentally press them
The side buttons both feel robust and are unobtrusive even when bending the wrist (if you wear it on your left wrist like I do, some watch buttons can get pressed when bending the wrist). The buttons are not fiddly or loose, and you can’t accidentally press them with glancing blows.
Strap
The supplied 20mm soft silicone strap feels pleasant and has a quick-release system. However, he instantly swapped it out for his current 20mm strap in his favourite colour — orange!
Display
We both agree that the 1.3″ LCD display looks good, with sharp and vibrant colours and dark blacks.
There are variable brightness settings, and my son says “The brightest of the brightness is BRIGHT!”. He has it on medium brightness usually, it still pops and is very clear.
There is also an essential mode to greatly increase battery life, this will limit functionality to more basic features but greatly extends the time between charges.
There are many watch faces included as standard, with the ability to download more from the Play Store or Mobvoi app.
Apps
Most of the apps are fairly standard from a Google Watch OS standpoint. All the regulars are there like Google Fit, Phone, Memo, Calc, Alarm, Stopwatch/Timer, Weather etc. With the benefit of access to the Google Play store to download thousands of other apps.
His most used third-party apps such as Strava and some games all worked flawlessly.
In terms of the Tic built in apps:
He is using TicSleep monitoring sleep, as the watch is comfortable enough to wear to bed
TicZen and TicBreath can help de-stress
TicHearing can be used to measure the volume of an area, which he loves to use for fun.
TicPulse is used to monitor heart rate, excellent for exercise and runs, but he does not have it set to 24/7 monitoring in order to conserver some battery. Accuracy seems consistent with the Pro 3 and Pro 2020 models.
TicOxygen measures blood oxygen levels.
TicExercise has all the modes you would expect from an exercise tracking app — Run, Walk, Treadmill, Cycling, Freestyle, and many more including Swimming due to the IP68 water resistant rating. It can also upload to Strava, which is his exercise hub of choice.
A new addition to the Tic apps is Hearth Health, which can 24/7 monitor your heart activity to detect unusual activity.
All of this gets pulled into the TicHealth app which gives a nice overview of all the above functions.
Touchscreen and Hardware
Hi words were “Smooth, Instant, Accessible”
The screen is responsive to touch, I would say somehow more responsive than the previous models, including the more expensive Pro 3 Ultra! The Qualcomm Snapdragon 4100 platform, which is a powerful applications processor and ultra-low power co-processor, performs admirably and combined with the 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM it never seems to slow down or show any signs of lagging.
The usual connectivity that you’d expect such as Bluetooth 5 and 802.11b/g/n Wireless, with he addition of NFC, speaker, mic, and a whole host of GNSS technology (GPS+Beidou+Glonass)
Battery Life
With the 380mAh battery, he gets around 3 days before needing to recharge when using the sleep monitoring. He thinks without the sleep monitoring, it would get more like 5 days. But if you weren’t wearing it to bed you’d probably charge it nightly anyway!
Essential mode would extend this even further, if you wanted to remove some of the smart features.
UI
One word — “Smooth”
He’s a pretty savvy tech user already, but finds the UI user friendly, and can navigate around easily. All touches are recognised even when using very gentle touches, and no delays between presses and apps opening.
Charging
The watch includes a discreet magnetic charging clip. He did initially find it slightly difficult to line up, but no problem after I showed him the correct orientation. In a slightly different orientation to the Pro models, the charger clip cable runs the same direction as the strap, rather than from the side.
The charging from totally flat to 100% full can be done in a few hours, so popping it on the charger while in the shower or something can keep it topped up almost indefinitely (though you can wear it in the shower with its IP68 water rating!)
Conclusion
Best watch he’s had!
It’s a superb and very comfortable smartwatch that really shines in the TicWatch line-up, and the general smartwatch line-up for that matter!

The side buttons both feel robust and are unobtrusive even when bending the wrist (if you wear it on your left wrist like I do, some watch buttons can get pressed when bending the wrist). The buttons are not fiddly or loose, and you can’t accidentally press them with glancing blows.
Strap
The supplied 20mm soft silicone strap feels pleasant and has a quick-release system. However, he instantly swapped it out for his current 20mm strap in his favourite colour — orange!
Display
We both agree that the 1.3″ LCD display looks good, with sharp and vibrant colours and dark blacks.
There are variable brightness settings, and my son says “The brightest of the brightness is BRIGHT!”. He has it on medium brightness usually, it still pops and is very clear.
There is also an essential mode to greatly increase battery life, this will limit functionality to more basic features but greatly extends the time between charges.
There are many watch faces included as standard, with the ability to download more from the Play Store or Mobvoi app.
Apps
Most of the apps are fairly standard from a Google Watch OS standpoint. All the regulars are there like Google Fit, Phone, Memo, Calc, Alarm, Stopwatch/Timer, Weather etc. With the benefit of access to the Google Play store to download thousands of other apps.
His most used third-party apps such as Strava and some games all worked flawlessly.
In terms of the Tic built in apps:
He is using TicSleep monitoring sleep, as the watch is comfortable enough to wear to bed
TicZen and TicBreath can help de-stress
TicHearing can be used to measure the volume of an area, which he loves to use for fun.
TicPulse is used to monitor heart rate, excellent for exercise and runs, but he does not have it set to 24/7 monitoring in order to conserver some battery. Accuracy seems consistent with the Pro 3 and Pro 2020 models.
TicOxygen measures blood oxygen levels.
TicExercise has all the modes you would expect from an exercise tracking app — Run, Walk, Treadmill, Cycling, Freestyle, and many more including Swimming due to the IP68 water resistant rating. It can also upload to Strava, which is his exercise hub of choice.
A new addition to the Tic apps is Hearth Health, which can 24/7 monitor your heart activity to detect unusual activity.
All of this gets pulled into the TicHealth app which gives a nice overview of all the above functions.
Touchscreen and Hardware
Hi words were “Smooth, Instant, Accessible”
The screen is responsive to touch, I would say somehow more responsive than the previous models, including the more expensive Pro 3 Ultra! The Qualcomm Snapdragon 4100 platform, which is a powerful applications processor and ultra-low power co-processor, performs admirably and combined with the 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM it never seems to slow down or show any signs of lagging.
The usual connectivity that you’d expect such as Bluetooth 5 and 802.11b/g/n Wireless, with he addition of NFC, speaker, mic, and a whole host of GNSS technology (GPS+Beidou+Glonass)
Battery Life
With the 380mAh battery, he gets around 3 days before needing to recharge when using the sleep monitoring. He thinks without the sleep monitoring, it would get more like 5 days. But if you weren’t wearing it to bed you’d probably charge it nightly anyway!
Essential mode would extend this even further, if you wanted to remove some of the smart features.
UI
One word — “Smooth”
He’s a pretty savvy tech user already, but finds the UI user friendly, and can navigate around easily. All touches are recognised even when using very gentle touches, and no delays between presses and apps opening.
Charging
The watch includes a discreet magnetic charging clip. He did initially find it slightly difficult to line up, but no problem after I showed him the correct orientation. In a slightly different orientation to the Pro models, the charger clip cable runs the same direction as the strap, rather than from the side.
The charging from totally flat to 100% full can be done in a few hours, so popping it on the charger while in the shower or something can keep it topped up almost indefinitely (though you can wear it in the shower with its IP68 water rating!)
Conclusion
Best watch he’s had!
It’s a superb and very comfortable smartwatch that really shines in the TicWatch line-up, and the general smartwatch line-up for that matter!
One annoying problem but a great watch for the price
Last smart watch was a Skagen Falster 2 which was terrible. Battery was charged overnight every night. Some days I’d get an almost full day. The next day a couple of hours. Back to the Tic watch. Good battery life. Still has half charge after a full day (points at Skagen). Useful set of features only downside, which cost the watch a star, is setting up the Mobvoi ID. It always says capcha has expired. After two weeks I’ve given up. Shame but it’s not why I brought the watch so more annoying and hence only four stars. Apart from that very happy with the Tic Watch.

Classy
My girlfriend liked the watch, battery life could be better that’s was the only flaw
Great smartwatch at a great price
The battery life on this smartwatch is awesome, it lasted for 3 days. I don’t use it for exercise tracking but mainly for telling the time, heart rate oxygen levels and counting my steps. It also has G pay which I find really convenient when out shopping. There are many functions for sport tracking which seem very easy to use via the app. Swiping up and down,left and right is very smooth and quick with no lag. The watch itself is very light and sits nicely on the wrist. If you are looking for a reasonably priced smartwatch with loads of battery and functionality this could be the one for you.

Fantastic value, feature rich smartwatch at a fabulous price
I’m not new to the smart watch arena, this is the third smart watch I have now owned over quite a few years.
I decided to buy this watch to replace my (poorly built) Huawei Watch 2 on which the strap clasp has just broken in less than 18 months.
With such a range of smartwatches to choose from (and reading many positive reviews) I finally decided to go for the Ticwatch E3 — and I’m not disappointed with my choice.
The watch was very easy to setup and works flawlessly with my Samsung Note 10 (no compatibility issues were found).
The Ticwatch E3 ticks all of the boxes for me at a really great price:
I haven’t got very wide wrists, so I wanted a watch that didn’t look too bulky (but could also offer good battery life). The E3 sits on my wrist without looking huge and the battery lasts for the advertised two days. The watch feels very lightweight and comfortable (helped by the soft silicon strap).
The operating system seems very sleek and quick — no stuttering or lag is evident when the watch is in operation (amazing for such a cheap smartwatch). There’s quite a few standard watch faces to choose from and this is bolstered by a vast selection of additional faces on the Google app Store.
I found the two physical buttons on the watch are very tactile. The lower button can be reconfigured to your own personal choice. Out of the box the lower button functionality is set to activate workout modes, but I have reconfigured mine to take me to the stopwatch function (which I use a lot for cooking).
I have found the workout tracking very accurate and a breeze to use. There are twenty workout training modes to choose from (in the E3 ‘TicExercise’ app), the only issue that I have found is that the sport I play (squash) isn’t included in the list — but this isn’t a big issue as the benefit of using an Android based watch is you can also use the ‘Google Fit’ app (also included on the watch as standard) which includes many more sport modes (including squash). The heart rate monitor works very well (and seems accurate when compared to my home blood pressure monitors heartrate output). Having the blood saturation monitor is an extra added bonus that I can’t believe that they have managed to add into the sleek watch form (and at such a good price point).
The inbuilt speaker and microphone seem to work well — calls taken on my watch have been very crisp and clear. The speaker has a nifty application that can be used to vibrate water out of the watch if you have submerged it.
The Ticwatch E3’s screen is very bright and clear and seems to work well in brightly lit surroundings. I love the round watch form factor and I am pleased that the screen fills the whole area (I’m glad to say that there is No ‘flat tyre’ screen on the Ticwatch E3).
So far I love my Ticwatch E3 and am really pleased with my purchase.
Good watch for the price
Good smartwatch, but poor battery life.
I use it during working hours (6am – 6pm), and will last a day easily enough as I have the display setting as ‘tap to view’. The first time I used the watch I had it as ‘shake wrist to view’ and it was touch and go that the battery would last the day.
Would recommend this watch as a good buy for the price but don’t expect it to compare with more expensive models

Reloj equilibrado
Mis impresiones sobre el TicWatch E3 tras quince das de uso:
La configuracin inicial del reloj es rpida y el mismo sistema operativo te hace un pequeo tutorial de las funciones principales. El cargador es una base magntica pequea, pero muy cmoda para el uso (se puede poner en cualquier sitio y no molesta ni ocupa sitio). La batera haciendo un uso normal y sin activar todas las opciones de ahorro de energa me dura unos 2-3 das.
La construccin del reloj se ve robusta y junto a la pulsera de goma que trae le da un aspecto deportivo y es cmodo de utilizar. Lo he utilizado siempre en la ducha sin problemas.
La pantalla tiene buena visibilidad tanto en interiores como en exteriores sin haber usado nunca el brillo mximo.
El sistema operativo es el Wear OS de Google que funciona perfectamente sin lags (se nota mucho el procesador), con montones de aplicaciones y esferas para el reloj. En mi caso he utilizado Spotify y Google maps sobre todo. La aplicacin “EjercicioTic” que incluye el reloj funciona bien y registra correctamente los parmetros (tiempo, pulsaciones, calorias, etc…). Yo la utilizo para caminar sobre todo. El GPS funciona correctamente. Tambin he instalado la aplicacin de Google Pay y funciona perfectamente, siendo muy cmodo pagar en las tiendas con slo acercar el reloj al TPV.
En cuanto a las notificaciones, se pueden configurar las que quieres que aparezcan en el reloj, no he probado las de Whatsapp porque no me gusta estar pendiente todo el rato de los mensajes, pero si las de twitter y es muy comodo, pudiendo leer perfectamente los tweets del telfono desde el reloj.
Una de las cosas que ms me ha gustado en este modelo es el micrfono y altavoz integrados lo que permite contestar llamadas desde el mismo reloj y hablar, muy til cuando no quieres sacar el telfono del bolsillo y puedes hablar en modo “manos libres”
Un reloj con excelente relación calidad/precio
Llevo siendo usuario de relojes TicWatch desde el TicWatch pro original. Tambin dispongo de un TicWatch Pro 3 LTE (TWP3), por lo que dejo aqu algunas impresiones y diferencias con el modelo superior:
– Diseo: el reloj tiene un diseo ms deportivo, siendo muy ligero y con la posibilidad de cambiar las correas (es compatible con cualquier correa de 22 mm). Actualmente utilizo la correa de goma que incluye y me parece adecuada. El tamao es ligeramente ms pequeo que el TicWatch Pro 3. Hay que tener en cuenta el grosor del dispositivo (ver foto). El borde de la pantalla es grueso, pero no se ve mal.
– Sistema operativo y usabilidad: la fluidez que tiene gracias al procesador 4100, su memoria ram es envidiable. La experiencia en cuanto a rendimiento es uniforme, sin bloqueos ni enlentecimientos. El reconocimiento de voz es rpido y eficaz. El rendimiento es el mismo que el TWP3. Adems, trae un launcher propio que se puede alternar con el que trae por defecto (que tiene los conos ms grandes).
– Pantalla: es la principal diferencia con el TWP3. La pantalla es LCD, un poco ms pequea y no tiene el sistema dual del que dispone el TWP3. An as, es ms que suficiente para entregar toda la informacin en un vistazo. La pantalla se enciende automticamente al hacer el gesto de levantar la mueca y entrega la siguiente informacin: hora, fecha, cantidad de pasos y batera restante. La visibilidad en exteriores es correcta, siendo lo bastante brillante. No dispone de sensor de luz ambiental para ajuste de brillo automtico. En este apartado es donde ms diferencias hay con el modelo superior.
– El reloj trae 2 botones con los que puedes hacer rpidamente varias acciones: el de arriba enciende la pantalla. La pulsacin larga del botn superior abre Google assistant. La pulsacin larga del botn inferior abre un men que permite ponerlo en modo esencial, reiniciar el reloj o realizar drenaje del altavoz. Si apretas 2 veces el botn de arriba, aumenta al mximo el brillo de la pantalla. El botn de abajo es personalizable, para que abra la aplicacin que quieras (por defecto abre TicExercise). Si lo apretas 2 veces, abre Google Pay, lo que es muy cmodo para no tener que andar sacando la cartera o mvil para pagar. Si apretas ambos botones, saca una captura de pantalla.
– Modo esencial: una gran ventaja. Es un modo de funcionalidad reducida pero que ahorra mucha batera. Se enciende por defecto cuando queda un 5% de batera. En l se puede ver la hora, fecha, podmetro y se puede realizar monitorizacin del sueo. Dentro de la aplicacin de modo esencial se puede configurar automticamente una hora de activacin y desactivacin, lo que es muy cmodo para los que dormimos con el reloj puesto.
– Autonoma: dependiendo del uso, se puede obtener entre 1,5 das y 2 das. Esta es la otra diferencia importante con el TWP3 (su autonoma est en torno a los 3 das).
– Altavoz y micrfono: bastante aceptables para el tamao del dispositivo. Se pueden contestar llamadas directamente desde el reloj, con una calidad bastante razonable.
– Carga: bastante rpida, por lo que puedes dejarlo cargando durante la ducha.
– Sensores y seguimiento de ejercicio: el reloj tiene monitor de frecuencia cardaca, saturacin de oxgeno, deteccin de ruido, estrs, monitorizacin de sueo mediante las aplicaciones de Mobvoi. Se puede realizar seguimiento las 24 horas de la frecuencia cardaca y saturacin de oxgeno y te puede avisar si detecta una anormalidad. Tambin, puedes configurar los horarios para que detecte automticamente si te quedas dormido. Todo esto se puede sincronizar con Google Fit. El reloj adems te alerta si pasas mucho tiempo inactivo, lo que est muy bien.
– Se puede activar Google Pay y pagar con el reloj, lo que es realmente cmodo cuando sales de compras.
En resumen, para costar unos 100 menos que el TWP3 se obtiene una funcionalidad muy buena y equilibrada. Se sacrifica la pantalla dual, un menor tamao de pantalla, el sensor de luz y autonoma en relacin al modelo Pro, pero para las necesidades del da a da est ms que bien. Si tu presupuesto es ms ajustado, este reloj te gustar.

De lejos el mejor reloj a cuanto de la relacin calidad-precio.
Un reloj que funciona perfectamente, bateria dura entre 2-3 dias segn el uso en modo inteligente y hasta 45 dias en modo esencial (que todava solo he probado cuando estoy praticamente a zeros de bateria).
Al tener las notificaciones de wearOS, se puede contestar directamente en praticamente todas las apps que lo suporten.
Tiene soporte NFC con Google Pay (Puedes configurar con cualquier banco, no ocurre lo mismo con Garmin Pay, o con el software de Amazfit) y funciona super bien a la primera.
Las nuevas app’s de TicWatch son una pasada. Con OdoTic podemos medir los db de ambiente. OxgenoTic nos permite medir nuestro nivel de oxgeno en sangre. Con PulsoTic podemos tomar nuestras constantes vitales. SaludTic engloba toda la medicin de deportiva con estas.
Con la app de telfono puedes iniciar y hablar una llamada telefnica con el reloj, muy til para cuando ests conduciendo.
El reloj es muy cmodo, leve, bonito, elegante y fino, se siente muy ligero incluso para dormir con l.
Es resistente al agua IP68 y proprio para nadar en piscina, lo he probado y sin problemas.
He salido a correr con l y la medicin de pasos correcta y GPS muy preciso, marc perfectamente en el mapa de la ruta que hice.
La pantalla es muy buena. Super brillante y con detalle impresionante.
Es un reloj super bueno para lo que costa, es verdad que los materiales no son tan buenos como el ticwatch 3 pro pero tambien justifica la diferencia de precio.
Lo volvera a comprar hoy.
A great watch for its price
Im using the watch for around 5 days now and I got to say, it’s an excellent watch .
– Feels very fast and fluid
– Sleep tracker
– Pulse and Oxygen tracker
– Good quality build
– Around one and a half days battery life at normal use (checking my notifications, calls and maybe weather and such)
– Water proof (you can wear it while swimming but honestly I didnt try it yet)
I also own a TicWatch Pro 3 GPS and they are basically the same watch in terms of specs. Besides the obvious, main differences between them are:
– E3 has a slightly smaller screen but frankly I barely notice it.
– Both have great build quality but PRO 3 feels a little bit more premium.
– PRO 3 has an always on screen over the main screen and you get more battery life (1.5 days for E3, 2.5-3 days for PRO 3). On both you can greatly extend the battery life if you switch to essential mode.
If you want a more premium feel, go for PRO 3. If you are on a budget but you still want a good quality watch, go for E3. Either way, you will get a great watch.
One more thing I want to add, for all those looking for their first smart watch: the 4100 processor (found in both E3 and PRO3) is the only processor found in Wear OS watches that competes with Apple watch in terms of responsiveness and overall how fluid it feels. If you choose this watch or go for another entirely, do not go below the 4100 processor.
Hope it helps.

Fantastic!
Absolutely fantastic watch. So many functions at a great price. You can’t go wrong with this watch.
Este reloj actualmente es lo mejor opcin del Android Wear por este precio. Es decir mejor rendimiento calidad/precio. El problema mayor de la plataforma Android Wear era la dureza de la batera de los relojes y usar los procesadores con tecnologa vieja. Este modelo simplemente soluciona estos dos problema usando el chip mas reciente del Qualcomm y una bateria mas grande que mayoria del resto manteniendo dos dias un poco mas en modo normal. Eso significa que obtienes el chipset Snapdragon Wear 4100 de alta gama, 1 GB de RAM, 8 GB de almacenamiento, un monitor de frecuencia cardaca, un sensor de SpO2, resistencia al agua, 10 modos de entrenamiento, deteccin automtica de entrenamiento.
Ventajas:
– El procesador mas reciente y rpido de Android Wear (Ver el video).
– Capacidad y la dureza de la batera. 2 dias uso normal, mas de 30 dias uso en modo esencial (modo solo reloj nsin norificaciones).
– Integracin con Android. Miles de aplicaciones diseados para relojes inteligentes.
– Se puede contestar una llamada directamente del reloj ya que lleva un altavoz y el micrfono.
– Lleva NFC para pagos de Google Pay.
– Un GPS espectacular y independiente.
– Diseo elegante y no pesa nada.
Desventajas:
– Quizas el bisel queda un poco gordo. Pero a mi no me importa de nada.
Estoy muy feliz con este compra!
C’est ma 3eme montre WearOs et franchement quel plaisir. Enfin une montre qui ne rame pas ! J’avais avant une Fossil Sport et encore avant une LG Gwatch R (Et galement une Amazfit GTR 2 mais pas sous WearOs).
Alors je vais faire simple les points positifs et les ngatifs aprs :
Positif :
– Les performances, vraiment rien dire ce sujet, quasiment aucun latence
– Le design (mme s’il n’est pas exceptionnel) par sa sobrit
– Le poids (elle est trs lgre et se fait oublier)
– L’autonomie : on est (trs) loin de ce que peut proposer une Amazfit GTR 2 (environ 6 jours) mais c’est beaucoup mieux que la Fossil qui peinait tenir la journe..
– La possibilit de personnalisation avec l’ajout d’application (impossible sur beaucoup d’autres systmes)
– La possibilit de commander la montre et/ou le tlphone de faon vocale
– La possibilit de rpondre directement sur la montre plusieurs applications de chat et sms
– Les fonctions sant bien couvertes et compltes
– La qualit des appels avec la montre
– Le nombre de capteurs (GPS, Rythme cardio, SPO2, acclromtre, gyroscope…)
Ngatif :
– Un peu paisse
– Bordure d’cran large
– Boitier plastique
– Luminosit non automatique
– Applications un peu doublons entre TicSant et Google Fit
– Pas de mode ambiant (Always on Display) pour les watchface part celui impos (ou alors je n’ai pas compris)
– Pas de vraie tanchit, juste une certif IP 68
– Impossible de lancer un appel tlphonique depuis la montre (uniquement en rception)
En bref une vraie montre connecte avec quelques dfauts mais pour en avoir eu beaucoup c’est tout de mme celle que je prfre ce jour surtout pour 139.
dit du 11 aot 2022 :
La montre est juste IP 68 mais je me suis baign tous les jours dans un lac avec pendant 3 semaines sans rencontrer le moindre problme. La fonction schage du haut-parleur fonctionne plutt correctement.
Toujours pas du, a part l’autonomie qui baisse un peu (mais toujours une grosse journe avec au pire 20% vers 23h30…)
En estos moentos que estoy escribiendo la resea, tras una semana de espera pude adquirir este Ticwatch E3 por 140 rebajados en Cybermonday y sin duda es de los pocos relojes que he tenido a lo largo de mi vida de los mejores que he probado.
Es bsicamente como un telfono Android pero en miniatura y porttil. No pesa casi nada, el acabado es policarbonato lo cual es bueno para resistencia a golpes (que no os cuelen que si hubiera sido de otro material como el acero o el titanio aguantaria mejor los golpes, MENTIRA) y la pantalla se recomendara usar un protector de pantalla para evitar rayones ya que es curvo 2,5D sin biseles (es todo pantalla).
Eso si, hay que tener en cuenta los marcos que tiene son un peln grandes en comparacin con un Galaxy Watch 4 por ejemplo que son mas reducidos y estticamente mas bonito a la vista (y ms caro obviamente).
Como todo smartwach tiene sus luces y sombras:
Pros:
– WearOs de Google: Tienes casi todas las aplicaciones esenciales dia a dia para tu reloj por ejemplo descargar Spotify y escuchar a travs de unos auriculares inalmbricos va Bluetooh, sin necesidad de llevar el telfono encima, usar Maps, ver contactos para llamar, responder mensajes de notificaciones por escrito o por voz, jugar algunos juegos, usar el asistente de Google, etc. Tienes lo que puedes imaginar gracias a Play Store. Es muy fluido e intuitivo, sin ningn lag.
– Calidad de construccin hecho de policarbonato plstico que resiste a los golpes y es bastante liviano. Para mi gusto personal me parece un buen material, sin llegar a sentirse premium en la mueca.
– Correas intercambiables de 20mm de la que elijas: cuero, silicona, tela, etctera. Hay un mundo de posibilidades de elegir las correas a tu gusto y poder cambiarlas de cada lado sin problemas gracias a una palanquita de quita y pon.
– Modos deportivos: Hay + de 20 modos de deporte y se pueden activar manualmente o automaticamente (consume ms bateria debido a que se activan todos los sensores las 24h del da).
Contras:
– Calidad de la pantalla IPS: Hubiera sido un punto a favor que contase con una pantalla Amoled como otros relojes de precio superior pero entiendo que por ese precio decidieron recortar ese aspecto y potenciar otro aspecto como el procesador. A falta de probar afuera con el brillo al mximo, los colores de la pantalla y el brillo me parecen muy correctos para ser una IPS.
De hecho hay relojes que rondan los 200 con pantalla Amoled pero con un procesador ms antiguo y eso ya depende de tus preferencias.. amoled y soc Qualcomm 3100 o prefieres IPS y soc Qualcomm 4100? Va por gustos.
-Batera: Como el 90% de smartwatch con WearOS, Tizen, WatchOS.. (Google, Samsung, Apple, entre otros) tienen la duracin de un da y medio de uso (dependiendo del uso) y eso es algo innegable ya que cuentan con un sistema operativo avanzado en comparacin con otros relojes que cuentan un SO propietario que juegan en una liga menor al ser ms limitados cuya duracin de batera es mucho mayor.
De ahi te preguntas:
Quieres que vaya ms fluido y poder instalar aplicaciones? = Menor bateria
Quieres que solo funcione lo esencial, sin extras y te da igual si el SO es fluido? = Mayor batera
Resumiendo si quieres iniciarte con un reloj con SO de Google y andas escaso de presupuesto o no quieres gastar ms de 200 por un reloj, este Ticwach E3 est hecho para t sin duda alguna.
Salu2 y gracias por leer mi resea 🙂
Fare una recensione a pochi gioni dal ricevimento pu essere utile solo in parte ma, come ho fatto in altre occasioni, aggiunger altre valutazioni pi avanti. Per ora sono molto siddisfatto ma c’ da dire che ho fotto un acquisto informato e conosco questo tipo di tecnogia. Ci mi ha consentito di evitare inutili pareri negativi che avevo letto in merito alla durata della batteria od a frequenti disconnessioni BT. In realt killando l’app WearOS sul telefono cade la connessione BT con l’orologio. Altrettando succese se non si escludere WearOS sul telefono da procedure di risparmio energetico automatiche.
Un WearOS molto diverso da un Huawei, Amazfit, Honor e comunque da tutte le altre famiglie di orologi senza sistema operativo Android.
Gli orologi Android (WearOS) hanno una flessibili di utilizzo e potenza di calcolo irraggiungibile dagli altri, a discapito per della durata della batteria.
Se cercate orologi che durino minimo una settimana, oppure schermo always on, dovete rivolgervi a sistemi operativi proprietari (e limitati), e CPU create ad hoc. Huawei, in questo una delle migliori. Ma non avrete mai la possibilit di usare Goggle Map, Locus Map, sull’orologio, di caricare mappe per il trekking e caricare e scaricare tracce, di scricare qualsiasi app sportiva (Nike, Strava, Garmin, Runtastic, Adidas, MyFitnessPal) o di usare Outlook, e persiono FlightRadar24!!
Ma anche tutto quello che ci sar in futuro.
Detto questo il Ticwatch E3 ha una durata di batteria, con i sensori sempre attivi, che supera (ma di poco) le 24 ore. Ho incluso tutti i sensori ed i software per il corpo, quindi anche la monitorizzazione del sonno. Ho previsto 15 secondi di timeout schermo. E’ un risultato ottimo specialmente considerando il peso ridottissimo e la grande potenza di calocolo data dal recentissimo processore 4100 (stato dell’arte attualmente e scelta di riferimento per l’alta gamma).
Lo schermo non amoled ma non lo vedo uno svantaggio, si evita cos il PenTile matrix che di fatto riduce la risoluzione. Questo un LCD di qualit e la risoluzione rende tutta, nitido ed estremamente bello da vedere anche al sole. L’unico vantaggio che avrebbe avuto l’amoled sarebbe stata la possibilit di accendere solo i pixel necessari e risparmiare corrente. Tuttavia con quadranti elaborati e non a basso consumo un vantaggio che si annulla. Serve solo (e neanche tanto) se si vuole un ultrabasico always on con l’ora digitale e basta.
Cinturino (standard, quindi se ne troveranno milioni sempre) semplicissimo e comodo, cassa molto lineare e bella, anche se sono gusti.
Dimensioni pensavo peggio, non un “affarone”, ed io ho un polso piccolo.
GPS molto preciso e veloce, questa una cosa che mi sta molto a cuore perch amo fare trekking a piedi ed in bici e voglio tracce precise e belle da vedere.
La possibilit di rispondere, chiamare e coversare al telefono dall’orologio (cosa che si pu fare anche con altri non android) fantastica, soprattutto a casa quando si lascia il telefono sul tavolo e si sta in giro.
Se volete una recensione fatta bene, anche se bizzarra, da parte di un tipo inglese su internet, cercate il video “TicWatch E3 vs Pro 3 GPS – Which Should it Be – Review”. Si vede che protagonista non ha alcun interesse in merito e si diverte a fare recensioni con il suo stile davvero poco telegenico 😀 :-D.
good smartwatch if a tiny bit flimsy
yeah this was difficult upgrade question over my Pro 2020, but frankly the Black Friday deal was so good, I couldn’t resist. Specs are better than the Pro2020 of course, and I needed for my small wrist something lighter and less prominent. the E3 is certainly that and more future-proof of course when wear 3 is finally ready. the whole watch is definitely snappier and faster and responds more quickly. for things like opening apps and google assistant. the battery is slightly smaller but we will see how this plays out in usage. I can be a bit obsessive about battery and use Strava a lot for cycling. the Pro2020 needed a bit of husbanding so this will be an interesting comparison.
I miss the dual display on the Pro series but dare not use AOD, at least not yet. proper sleep tracking is another fascinating tool. bit concerned about some of the build quality but realistically these things only have a relatively short useful life before becoming outdated . main worry is robustness of the glass screen. speaker and microphone seem very good. vibration too.
i think it cost me 88 after sale of my Pro2020 so not too bad.

Best smart watch with NFC and Sleep Tracking
I’m not usually the type of person who spends a lot on their smartwatch. The Ticwatch E3 is affordable and offers many features that I love. The battery life is great, the size is small, and it’s got NFC capability which makes it easier to use when shopping without my purse or phone. The watch got auto sleep tracking and it’s very accurate. The battery life is amazing and it syncs really easily with my phone. I love the touchscreen and all the features it has for fitness tracking, too. For a budget smart watch, it’s one of the best I’ve found!
Najaaa
Najaaaa, sehr schwierig zu bewerten! Ich denke es macht einen Unterschied fr wie viel Geld man sie kauft. Bei einer Aktion fr 140 ist sie definitiv 5 Sterne wert, bei dem Standardpreis von 200 eher 4.
Mir gefllt dass es stock wear OS ist, obwohl fr die meisten da drauen andere Betriebssysteme von Mitbewerbern viel besser wren, google macht da zu wenig, gefhlt ist die Entwicklung seit Jahren stehen geblieben. Die zustzlichen apps des Herstellers der Uhr sind auf der Uhr Top, auf dem Handy flop, die bersetzung ist da tatschlich nicht so gut, auf der Uhr ist aber alles perfekt.
Ansonsten hat die Uhr fast alles was man braucht oder haben kann, was fehlt ist nur ein Lichtsensor, Kompass und Barometer. Aber irgendwie mssen sie ja zum Preis kommen und das sind die Abstriche die man machen muss. Plastik, ja, recht dick, ja, aber ich brauche auch kein Metall oder Leder und keine designer Uhr, die E3 ist dafr sehr sehr leicht. Muss jeder fr sich entscheiden was er braucht. So wie die Uhr verkauft wird ist sie sehr gut, man wei also schon vorher was man bekommt. Das Display und die Helligkeit finde ich voll ok.
Excellent Value for Money
Great smartwatch with abundant features for an attractive price tag.
5 Stars Overall. I thought I would treat myself to this watch as an alternative to the GPS Pro 3. I feel this one looks more formal. I have been pleasantly surprised with the build quality and features given it’s the budget end.
Battery life has been great, even with getting tonnes of notifications during the working day from colleagues skype messages, emails and WhatsApp messages the battery lasts a good full 3 days before needing a charge. The screen is bright and easy to see, yes it doesn’t have the auto adjustment but it always appears crisp and clear. I like that it goes off/blank until you gesture or tap the screen.
I have used the watch for several runs to see how accurate the GPS is and it has been spot on, picking up the signal very quickly and tracking my exercise precisely. Along with expected HR results which seems to track better than my Pro 3.
It is slightly thicker than the Pro3 which at first I could feel the difference but after a day or 2 I now don’t notice this difference and it certainly doesn’t feel clumsy. It is very responsive and smooth. The default size of text is nice with leaving a good portion to view at a readable size.
The only negative that I can find is the screen is not gorilla glass so once I have finished this I will be straight over to find a screen protector as I don’t want to damage my new toy 😀
So if you have got this far into reading this review I can assure you that you will not be disappointed with this watch. At 179 its great value for money, and if its on offer click buy now…

Another GREAT mid-range watch from TicWatch
For a watch that is badged as a budget or mid range watch, the E3 ticks a lot of boxes that some of the more premium devices fail to tick.
Battery life is fantastic, although given the device is new this should not be a surprise, but given the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100 processor included you would expect this to take its toll on battery life yet so far I am getting an easy 2+ days before I even feel the need to “top it up”.
The display is nice and crisp and again the processor helps here making the menus slide smoothly and the responsiveness is excellent. My ONLY criticism in this regard is the slightly large bezel around the display, I personally prefer the bezel on my Tic Watch Pro 3 which just adds some nice detailing to the design but that does not detract from how good this display actually is.
Sleep tracking seems on par with what I have come to expect from TicWatch and the plethora of companion apps to track all sorts of health and fitness metrics to keep even the most picky fitness buff happy with all the tracking available. My only criticism with regards to sleep tracking would be the size of the watch, to sleep in is a little uncomfortable but once you are asleep who really cares.
The second button is programmable to open what ever app you want it to and the double click feature on the same button can be used to launch GooglePay which makes it a great and quick way to pay for things when out and about, again a feature which TicWatch are really taking form earlier models and simply refining to make it seem even easier. I know that is more of a software thing but if you don’t have the second button (like lots of these watches) you don’t even have the option.
Overall this watch gets a big THUMBS UP from me, as someone who has used several TicWatch variants over the last couple of years they have once again hit the mark with this watch! I am really looking forward to what Wear OS 3.0 has in store and if the rumours are correct this watch will receive that update albeit not till mid 2022.

Impressive as always!
This is my 3rd Ticwatch and I must say that I am not diappointed at all.
I started with the Ticwatch 2, then to the Ticwatch GTX Fitness Smartwatch and now Ticwatch E3 Smartwatch Wear OS by Google.
The Ticwatch E3 Smartwatch Wear OS by Google is sleek in design and very light weight.
The setup was very quick and easy to do. The screen is good, it is fully packed with various features and it is quite fast.
Battery life is very good as I have been using it for the last 3 days without a need to charge.
The strap is made of rubber which means exercising with it is not a problem. It fits well to my wrist and you will almost not know it is there as it is very light in weight but a heavyweight in features.
It monitors the heart rate, tracks my sleep pattern and help to manage stress.
It also is water proof, can be used for navigation and connects easily to the phone to make and receive calls.
All features work well in the time that I have had it and I have no complaints at all.
Another excellent and pocket friendly watch from Mobvoi.

OVERALL:
This is an entry-level smartwatch but with high performance and with Wear OS! I love and I would recommend it to all users that don’t have a budget or don’t want to spend over 200 pounds on this type of device. With this TicWtach E3 you can track all your training and receive the phone notification from your wrist. It has an accurate GPS, is waterproof, and has good battery life.
DESIGN:
Rounded with good material, not an iconic design, but really robust. The smartwatch is probably unisex and in fact, I have bought it for my partner. I found the case thick, but after some days, you will get used to it. Overall the design, for the price sold, is more than ok.
BATTERY:
I was not expecting to have a good battery life, but I have changed my mind after I used it for a week. if you are not a user that gets 400 notifications, the battery can last over a day. You can recharge in one hour and the battery will back to 100%. I think this is one of the kill features of this smartwatch at this price.
SCREEN:
A good screen visible under the sun is important and this watch has a great LCD. I have noticed that is missing the auto-brightness which is important if you use it over the sun or at night.
SPORT and FITNESS:
After I tried for more than a week, I have gifted to my partner that is obsessed with counting the burned calories, steps, and tracking any type of training. The ticWatch E3 works really well because you can monitor the heart rate or the oxygen level. From my point of view is a premium feature to a smartwatch. I compared the heart rate with my ticWatch pro 3 and they have the same accuracy.
PERFORMANCE:
Usually, I am not talking about the chip used, because for me is more important to understand the use and the experience. The ticWatch E3 uses a Snapdragon Wear 4100 and I am impressed how good is the response over the touch. No lag, no delay when touching the screen and the new chip helps to have better battery life.
PRICE:
I think the price is the second more important factor for this smartwatch. I don’t think you can have another watch with the same specification. I have bought it for 179 pounds but I have seen that for the Black Friday is around 140.. Basically is gifted.

Amazing watch at a great price
I really like this watch. It’s small, it’s light, it’s compfortable to wear, and it’s lightning quick. It ticks all the boxes for the features that I want from a smartwatch and is very competitively priced. It’s also been confirmed that this watch is going to get Wear OS 3, which is something to look forward to.
The battery life is excellent. I have 24 hour heart rate and oxygen level monitoring enabled, plus the always-on display and it easily lasts 2 days. Even if that wasn’t enough, my watch would automatically go into Essential Mode when the battery hit 3%, even with the automatic switch disabled, and when it would, I could get about one more day of use.
Thanks to the Qualcomm processor it really is quick. There isn’t any delay with swipes and gestures making it a pleasure to navigate round, I’ve included a video of just how smooth it is. The top button opens the App drawer, this has two rows of apps and are easily tapped. You can configure these to be in any order you like, but the speed and smoothness of the scrolling makes it easy to use. I like having a programmable hardware button, I’ve set this to open Google Pay. I find it makes it easier at the checkout when paying with NFC as I’ve usually got something in my hands at that point. The best feature about the NFC payment is I only have to put my pattern in once when I put on the watch. Once it’s on my wrist, it stays unlocked.
The range of apps from Mobvoi is great, TicHealth, TicPulse, TicExercise, TicOxygen, TicSleep, TicZen, TicBreathe, TicHearing and TicCare. The TicHealth app gives an overview of the other apps, and links up with the Mobvoi app on my phone.
All in all, I’m very pleased with this phone, it really does pack a punch and I would definitely recommend it.
