| post | My Thoughts on the Mobvoi TicWatch E3 | If you're looking for a decent Android-compatible smart watch for a good price, the TicWatch E3 might be the one for you! | smart-watches wearables android-wear mobvoi |
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.
