title: "My Thoughts on the Mobvoi TicWatch E3"

I've never been a huge fan of smartwatches ever since their inception in the early 2010's or so. Whether it's the inexplicably poor battery life from a device that's super low-powered and should last forever, or the lack of *good* support from mobile apps, I always seem to be annoyed when looking at watches. Plus it's yet another device to charge daily-ish just to carry around all day. But I do try to keep my head in the game at least for a good value-oriented watch that helps me manage my notifications more easily so I don't have to open my phone every time it chimes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Accessories
|
||||
|
||||
One other important aspect of a device you use pretty much daily is the ecosystem. And not just what the first-party manufacturer provides but also what the community and other companies sell to go along with it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Price
|
||||
|
||||
Now it comes down to the all-important price. Regardless of what features a watch may offer, ultimately the price is what dictates if it's a good purchase or not.
|
||||
|
||||
And that's where the TicWatch shines: it costs only $150 if you buy from Mobvoi directly, and they even offer an extra 2% discont if you're willing to create an account with them.
|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
Obviously, based on the price alone and how the watch is holding
|
||||
... it's not going to truly compete with the Apple Watch or Samsung Galaxy in a competion for the **best** smart watch. *But* those watches cost at least twice as much new, and it is a competitive option when you're looking at other watches in the same price range.

Back in the day, even as far back as the late 90's, you needed a website to be seen as a participant in the web. And

## The Hardware
|
||||
|
||||
Honestly, anything will do. From options as expensive and powerful as multi-server AMD Epyc- or Intel Xeon-backed clusters, all the way down to Single-Board Computers like the Raspberry Pi or Orange Pi, you can use anything that is supported by your Linux distribution of choice.
|
||||
|
||||
## The Operating System
|
||||
|
||||
Today we're going to go with Debian Bookworm. Ubuntu, OpenSUSE Leap, and AlmaLinux are just as good, but I'm more familiar with Debian and I love the community-backed distro. And Bookworm (aka Debian 12) is the current stable version of Debian as of the writing of this article.
|
||||
|
||||
## The Web Server
|
||||
|
||||
Nginx! Or Apache, both are cool. But I'm more familiar with Nginx and it's faster anyway.
