VIDEO: THESE TICWATCHES ARE BUDGET-FRIENDLY!
There are so many people out there looking for a useful smartwatch and not wanting to splurge hundreds of dollars, but don't fear that is why the Ticwatches are here...
The Ticwatch is a budget-friendly option and comes from a Chinese company Mobvoi that offers the smartwatch with Android Wear 2.0 that undercuts some big-name competitors.
The smartwatch was debuted at $99 last year, but the catch was that it ran the company's own version of Android. The company wanted to tap into the expansive ecosystem that Android Wear 2.0 offers, and now it has licensed Google's operating system and returned with a couple of new offerings.
The difference between the Ticwatch S (Sport) and the Ticwatch E (Express) is that the former hides the GPS antenna away inside the watch band, which is claimed to offer better accuracy. The Ticwatch E instead has it built into the body but does feature replaceable bands.
Both models are water- and dust-resistant, and feature fitness tracking abilities to monitor things like heart rate, steps, calories burned and workout route mapping. Both also feature a 1.4-inch, 400 x 400 OLED display with batteries rated for 48 hours. An early pledge of $119 for the E and $139 for the S will have one headed your way in November if the campaign runs as planned.
Have a look at the video from Engadget to see some of the specs the Ticwatch has to offer.
