Verdict

The Mobvoi TicWatch S (Sport) and E (Express) are budget-friendly smartwatches running Wear OS, featuring a 1.4-inch OLED display (400x400), a MediaTek MT2601 dual-core processor, 512MB of RAM, and 4GB of internal storage. Key characteristics include built-in GPS, heart rate monitoring, and an IP67 water resistance rating, with the S model specifically integrating its GPS antenna into the non-replaceable breathable strap for improved sports accuracy. Main pros include their lightweight award-winning design, compatibility with both Android and iOS, and the inclusion of a built-in microphone and speaker for Google Assistant and calls. However, notable cons include the lack of NFC for mobile payments, an absence of ambient light sensors for auto-brightness, and a relatively modest battery life that typically requires nightly charging.
