Com got a box says tickris on it and inside we have the brand new tickrus max s: s for small itβs, a rectangular watch thatβs a bit smaller than its uh big brother, which WeβVe already reviewed uh quite a bit here and and talked in detail about it. So a lot of the things that apply to that watch will apply. Whoa weβll apply to this one. Look at that. We have a side camera on this one interesting, thereβs, obviously buried in here. I think right there, a front facing camera thatβs typical on these rectangular ones. So you can do your video chatting and and blogging, and all that kind of stuff, but a side, camera thatβs nifty. What are we looking at again, the tickris max s so itβs a 2.4 inch diameter, smart watch coming to us from banggood. Thank you again, banggood sending out the best of the best for us iβm, not sure about that price, because weβre in the middle of flash time. You know before christmas, after thanksgiving, so prices are jumping all over the place, but do check the show notes and we will try to get you the best price we can with a coupon if itβs no longer at the discounted flash prices inside this one itβs a Typical android smartwatch now weβre not talking android 10. Yet this is still part of the android 7.1.1 uh plan, and but it does have a full three gigabytes of ram in it, 32 gigabytes of storage runs 4g for communications, gps, all the standard stuff that weβve seen all the different supported languages.
You see here it tethers to the why watch 2, app like all of the other android watches, do so really nothing new to talk about technology wise or software wise, except taking a look at this really sweet form factor inside the box. ThereβS. Nothing else down here! ItβS just foam, but in the accessories when we pop into here we should have a way to charge this thing: yep, yeah, oh, look at this. Okay! WeβVe got a screwdriver. Why do we need a screwdriver because remember these watches are standalone phones, so you need it to take the screws off of the sim compartment in here. That is uh. Where you put your nano cinema, sim in to make uh phone calls receive phone calls to a separate phone number to the watch. No, i know a lot of you are asking. Can i tether this to my phone and make phone calls with bluetooth calling? Unfortunately, no none of these android watches will do that not the android 10, not the android 7.. You got to reach back to like 2017 18 to get the really early ones that have that support, but not actually in these. So you will put your own sim card in there and because itβs sealed so nicely this thing itβs not going to clear declare it waterproof but iβm going to say itβs, probably pretty darn, sweat, resistant, thereβs, not much of an area where water could come into it. WeβVe got a bag; thatβs also got a charging dock.
So letβs pull this one out and take a look. Aha. So we have uh four pins here, wow thatβs on what looks like it should be, the other side doesnβt it okay, we line it up and it magnetically couples. This will plug into your usb port iβm. Not a big fan on docs youβve heard me talk about that, especially ones that are connected like this. So after time, if you kicked it and tripped it or something and it broke uh, you got to get a new dock, so you may want to see if you can order an extra one of these at work or as a backup just to play safe. I donβt know if you can or not, but it comes with one and weβll charge it up and turn it on for you. Oh, we got a few more things back here. Look at this thereβs a whole array of stuff. I donβt know what all that is. Usually, you got a diode and your your sensor for doing heart rate, but wow thereβs, a bunch of circles that are holographic and then the middle looks like the sensor. I think we got everything but always check the camera lens too, to see yeah thereβs. Nothing. There see, if thereβs plastic over over, that this looks like fun all right. Okay, a little tricky to figure out which side is which iβm betting the cameraβs on the right. The buttons are going to be on the left, so weβre going to press the bottom button.
ItβS got a little red stripe on it and see what happens sure enough wow. That is one bright screen the tickris. I love it the max s. So how does the max s compare with the max funny? You should ask i happen to have it right here: hereβs, the max look at how much bigger that one is yeah. ItβS got its own charging dock too, and i know a question youβre gon na have is: will the dock charge the little one? No thereβs the pins but itβs a complete different design, so you wonβt be able to charge your max s with the max charger, itβs unique and vice versa, iβm sure. Just to make sure here we go thereβs the one from the max s, no itβs not going to line up almost looks like it would, but i wouldnβt trust putting the pins together like that there brighten it all up. This is one of mr tixβs special watch faces designed by alright, which i talk about in pretty much all of the android videos. You can check out his work. His custom faces uh real, easy thereβs, a link in the show notes to get over there. This is straight out of the box, so weβre gon na play with it and see what weβve got. First of all, it wants you to confirm your language iβm, going to go with english weβre in the usa, so iβm going to go imperial. That gives me all my stuff in height and weight, and everything like that in english and so iβm going to confirm uh the data there iβll set it later, and then you get in, of course, to the setup.
This is the qr code. You would scan to download the ywatch 2 app check the show notes. I got a link thatβll. Take you right to the play store to get a hold of that app and also thereβs a review of the app in depth. So weβre not going to do much with the app at all today, probably nothing! You can look at that for that information, so improve your location accuracy. Google may collect information itβs, giving you this new kind of a notice. Now you can agree to that and itβs going to do all sorts of stuff to access, and we say yes and now we get into our first really fun. Remember the old windows phone uh type of a watch face google play protect, is on itβs gon na want to go through doing some stuff. ItβS gon na try to load up the play store but weβre not on the internet, but it looks locally and it says: everythingβs. Looking good itβs scanned the apps that are installed just a safety thing yeah. I know we shouldnβt have to go through all of this stuff, but itβs good for you to see what you can expect when you first turn any of these newer watches on android 7 android 10.. You could sign in now, but of course you canβt until youβre on the internet, so weβre not going to sign in now, but what we are going to do is show you um what weβve got here.
WeβVe got phones, and this is like a the google assistant um and it says iβm offline and so forth. So weβll play with this once weβre all set up online, but heart rate time all that stuff and you press and hold you can switch to a variety of different types of watch faces each with active buttons in them that come stock with the watch. Finally, oops. Sorry, google, yes uh! Finally, we have arrived. We have arrived at a world where they are starting to create, create really cool watch faces that are functional as well. You can see that weβve got a whole bunch more and then you got some stock ones that come back all the way to the animated background on them great great stuff, weβll, look toward the end at more of the of the watch faces when you pull down You get basically your power information. This is the updated, upgraded android, 7.1 uh layout on these watches come over here. You can turn on your quiet mode, so it wonβt make noise. You can set your brightness level thereβs full bright, thereβs, full dim, and you can do everything in between weβll run it i think, just on the first tab is bright enough for us indoors here. This is for twist your wrist to see the time airplane mode. Cellular connectivity with your sim in there some of you may want to make phone calls, but not have a data plan or not eat into a data plan, so that will be a toggle for that itβs timing out really quickly.
WeβVe got bluetooth. We got wi fi. I need to turn on and get my router information in here and sign in so that we can look further and then, of course, this is the toggle for gps over here you got a little clean up thing. One more! You got a music player for uh. Your installed music and once youβre on the internet and itβs got your location. You can get your weather report right there as well, and all that is happening from scrolling down from the watch face over to the right. You get your notifications, the page to the left scrolling up. You get your step count average per day over a week, your actual steps for the day, distance traveled in miles you notice, calories, burned and all of thatβs. That way, and then, when you come over here, you get all the different chiclets for all of the installed apps, which are your basic stuff contacts phone messaging for when youβve got your sim card in overall settings, your music player downloads iβm going to go into settings For just a minute and fix this little problem, sound is basically your sounds and displays where we can go into sleep and change it from 15 seconds all the way up to 30 minutes. Your notification bright screen will light the watch up. Of course, when you um get notifications, if you want that, we do have a different bubble, app style to show you that now we come over here and youβre in the apple kind of a look and feel for all of the apps.
We donβt have a whole lot in here right now. I donβt have a zooming way to make them bigger or smaller theyβre one size but thatβs available to you and of course we can go back to the matrix style, which is a lot easier to show. You guys whatβs in here you got a stock browser i would recommend upgrade to i donβt know chrome or one of the other ones. This is the camera. WeβLl. Look at that in the gallery for pictures clock. A sound recorder is built into it. Your basic folders fitness, we usually talk about fitness and whether it integrates with gps weβll play with that, whether uh, of course, a lot of this all the rest. You have to be on the internet for uh and thatβs it just two pages worth of stuff assistant. Is actually the assistant where you connect to the phone with the qr code, thatβs unique for this watch once you have your? Why watch 2 app going again watch the review of the app youβll learn how to do all this stuff and make sure youβre set up? And at that point you can use this as a remote button to take pictures with your phone control, your music on your phone from your watch different than the music controller. We saw earlier that controls the music in the watch and you got 32 gigabytes of space. You can put that you can send files back and forth to your phone and, of course, find your phone when youβre tethered over there as well.
Okay, weβre on the internet and iβve come up to the weather, again itβs updated in my location. So i know all of thatβs working and you see your temperature information in both centigrade and fahrenheit, which is a really nice addition to this whole thing. So we want to take a quick look at things like the camera and whatnot, since weβve got two of them on this. One letβs come over here and turn this puppy on and there we go. IβVe got the side camera over here and i could tap here and reverse it, and you should see me hello. There we go there and the screen is nice and bright too so itβs giving you a nice nice visual, almost too much detail so iβm, going to put it back on the side iβm going to take a moment and take a picture by pressing that side button. There, okay and now weβre running a little video clip and you see it got a little bit further, so itβs kind of stabilized when i move it, which is really nice too, it also flip things upside down. I have the pause button right there and that put it in pause and youβre, seeing the elapsed time on the video and then i can tap this and stop it alrighty and now we can give a quick look at that. LetβS come back into the video see if we can hear it now, weβre running a little video clip and you see a little bit further, so itβs kind of stabilized when i move it, which is really nice too, it also flip things upside down.
I have the okay yeah could hear fairly well uh from where iβm at, of course, iβm so much louder than anything. I wear so iβm, probably drowning it out, but itβs really hard to compare on a video hereβs a little bit fuzzy because i was moving but thereβs the image. If i double tap on it, you see, i can zoom in nicely double tap again comes back out a little sluggish there. It looks like interesting. I do have pinch and zoom capability, which is another thing. We all ask about sorry about the resolution. I was moving. ItβS not that the camera is not stable, right there um and then, of course, we got the front camera on it as well right here. So this is a new addition to have the side camera and how does it look on? I know i havenβt even put it on and weβre all this time into the video. But since we are talking about the camera location, which is one of those challenging places for these uh watches, when they put it on the side, because there is a oh there, it is thatβs what it looks like now again, the buttons are on the back side Of it, the camera is going to be right here for doing your selfies and on this side, youβve got the speaker and the the front or the landscape kind of a camera over here. So i want to come back out of here.
Come back over into my camera and just show you what happens with my hand now i donβt really have much over here. LetβS put our information up but see hereβs hereβs my hand, you see how i have to be careful to keep my hand down if iβm going to be using the side. Camera really really cool when they put the camera up here. ThereβS not many watches that have it up there, but itβs itβs, just something youβre going to have to get used to having it off on the side, so itβs, not all that thick compared to other ones. That weβve seen whereβs the big max hereβs, the big max. Just to give you kind of a comparison with these, we take this off and the buttons are on the right hand, side on this one. There we go thereβs papa, bear thereβs mama bear you want to see baby bear now. Okay, here is baby bear. This is the original lympho lem4 pro right here and uh yeah itβs on even and and thereβs baby bear um really sweet. This is a bit smaller overall watch than this one running a much earlier version of android and no longer available at all but size wise. It was a sweet watch. I really really enjoyed that one. This one is filling a nice middle ground in terms of size that is usable, but not looking aggressively huge uh like this one. So for those of you who, who like the max who like having edge to edge screen technology for all of your apps, that you can see them well, this isnβt filling the full width.
Another one of alrightβs faces letβs see if we can get a broader one. There you go, it has a little bit of barrier on the side, so did this one thereβs the front facing camera on it, this oneβs over on the right and, of course this one is also on the right hand, side flip you to a different face. That shows a little bit more background. There we go and so yeah you have borders on the edge on all of them, but not too bad, but in terms of overall size. This is fitting nicely in that middle as somebody that has an average size adult arm. It should be easy to wear and look really really good. Okay, i think weβve covered all. I want to do in this basic unboxing stuff. We could go through all the system stuff and everything like we do over and over again, but if youβre interested in that just check out any of the other reviews, even uh the macs, because this one is also android 7.. All of these are not yet android. 10., what you can do, though, is go over to banggood check the link in the show notes, youβll get to the page that has all of the specs all of the description and more details on it. What weβre trying to do here is basically show it to you, live and how it works and what it looks like all in all itβs, a really nice watch.
It sounds good. It looks good. The bands are not removable, just like on the the regular max same thing on this one: itβs not removable, either itβs, not waterproof. None of these are fully waterproof._Om-Pnw2nPE
