Mobvoi Ticwatch S Review: An Affordable Android Wear Smartwatch for Everyone
Read the full review and enter to win a Ticwatch S at
Smartwatches: every company has made one, but consumers just don’t seem to be interested. It’s hard to pinpoint the exact reasons that smartwatches haven’t caught our imagination. It could be the cost. It could be the design. Many people just see them as glorified notification screens. Despite these criticisms, smartwatches do have many great features that should make them a must-have gadget.
That’s what makes Mobvoi’s Ticwatch S so intriguing. The Chinese AI firm has designed a smartwatch that aesthetically recalls the early days of Pebble — before it’s unfortunate demise. However, the watch itself is distinctly modern, even running the latest version of Google’s smartwatch platform, Android Wear. With its blend of the old and the new, how does the Ticwatch S stack up? Keep to reading to find out in our Ticwatch S review, and at end we’ve got one to giveaway to one lucky reader!

Is the phone necessari?
It's thick and it's not very beautiful. Watches vary widely and smartphones have all but replaced them so if we are going to put one on our wrists, it has to be beautiful and it has to do a lot.
How can we charge please tell me
I have an issue with it…i got it 3 weeks ago to replace my Garmin Vivosmart, and the issue I have is the one of fitness tracking. Google fit recorded my run, but the app on my phone does not show it. How can I actually access the GPS? Where can I check it. Also downloaded Strava, but since that the Strava on my phone fails data sync. It is really frustrating as I cannot really access anything at the moment. The little booklet is very basic when it comes to set up. Not impressed so far
Hi can you do a dedicated Strava cycling review with the ticwatch s!!?
i'll tell you why smartwatches haven't taken off like companies would have wanted. gosh darn battery life. that's why. i remember dumb watches of decades ago. i could run the watch for months and months. sometimes a year or more before having to replace the batteries. we already have our phones and other devices we have to charge daily or every other other day. why do we want yet another device we have to charge so damn often? garbage. create a smartwatch with a 6 month battery life, then see the sales soar. i haven't worn a watch in forever, so i don't even know how long dumb watches last these days. if i were going to wear a watch again, all i really need is a cool looking, slim watch that tells time and date and maybe weather and that's about it. don't need entire app store at my disposal. a simple watch might have a chance at a long battery life. sucks that the decades ago past is better at battery life than the future.
