Mobvoi TicWatch E2 review: The standard for Wear OS is fast enough, cheap enough, and does enough

$160 price tag is right on the money; Battery lasts for a full 24 hours of use; Lightweight and extremely comfortable to wear;

Plain, uninspired design; No NFC for Google Pay; Old chip makes app launching sluggish;

Mobvoi TicWatch E2 Review

The second time comes closer to the charm with the Mobvoi TicWatch Express 2, also known as the E2. The new Wear OS-powered smartwatch comes packed with upgrades inside and out. In addition to a sleeker look, the TicWatch E2 includes GPS, a heart rate monitor, and a larger battery. It's a nice-looking wearable that runs well and offers a variety of fitness tracking features, all for an affordable $159.99. But its extra-large size means it might not be a perfect fit for you. An Attractive Design That's Not for Everyone The TicWatch E2 brings along some design changes over the original model, but you might not notice them unless you're staring at both at the same time. The E2's 47mm polycarbonate case has grooves in the rim, and the plastic bezel has a nice shine to it. The lugs on the top and bottom are slightly thicker and more defined than the previous model, so they blend into the case better and give the design a stronger look. Similar Products App...

Includes GPS and heart rate monitor; Lots of functionality for the price

Too big for smaller wrists; Dated Qualcomm 2100 chipset; No NFC
