Not impressed.

[@dannykirk3011]

Vibration is very important to me for silent alarms and notifications. Why does Mobovi design watches with weak vibrations? Sorry I'll wait for the Gen 6.

[@zinadsaid6070]

I would rather have the mi smart band 6

[@adriancelaya]

Great performance but it's really Chunky looks like a cheap Chinese smartwatch

[@willMMW]

Just subscribed, I like your reviews. Consider expounding more on the materials used like on the display if it's glass or plastic. And the back if its plastic.

[@RealLifeTech187]

Mobvoi cut just the right corners to make this watch cheaper and offers by far the most value for money. The only thing that bothers me is that bezel that is thicker than Nicki Minaj. I currently have a Galaxy Watch and don't plan on upgrading but I will definitely have an eye on the TicWatches when choosing a new timepiece. Great Video, Mike!

[@alwaysasn]

The price is exciting, but honestly, the understated design is pretty exciting for me too. I want something that doesn't draw too much attention.

[@Nick_Ramburn]

Ya same

[@ashishkandpal7107]

True however let's hope if galaxy 4 is equivalent or better than this .I wish if it had AMOLED . Keeping fingers cross

[@iLLStaticProductionsBeats]

You earned a subscribe, within just two minutes you showed features that other big channels didnt show. This is what I like to see is in depth reviews that actually goes over the feature and doesn't have bias. Phenomenal job on your video.

[@itsrobertime]

Hey Mike, I always watch your tech reviews and they're really impressive. Very informative. Anyway, I heard lots of dismay because of E3's LCD screen and huge bezel but people are missing the idea here. Snapdragon 4100, speaker, offline music, essential mode, gps accuracy, NFC, update to Wear OS 3, minimalist design and lots more. It's basically a powerful smartwatch with value for money. I don't mind charging the watch everyday when using AOD. The good thing about LCD, it's preventing burn in when AOD is turned on, unlike most or some with AMOLED. Mine will arrive soon and I got it for 150USD because of discounts and coupon code. My first Wear OS smartwatch. More power to your channel. Always awesome in everything you do. Cheers!

[@IHaveTheCIBCSmart]

How is the watch?

[@johnnyonline]

I accidentally killed my budget wear OS watch in the snow, a Misfit Vapor 2, which was honestly junk. If I asked the assistant to turn on the lights it would just show me a picture of a light. Even though this review is a year old, I don't know there's a better option for the money, so I've just ordered one. Can't wait to try it out.

[@sinfinalfinisin]

Thanks for showing the call quality, I've been searching for a review vid that included it and yours was like the only one.

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

I really appreciate that! I am working on improving my quality!

[@ablacktan]

Exactly.. You are making it tempting.. I watch all of your videos

[@zckom]

The watch is not bad. Since it has LCD screen instead of OLED, meaning that always on display is going to drain the battery. So, turning off AOD would be a better option. May I know how responsive is it when you raise your wrist to turn on the screen? One down side for me is the absences of the ambient light sensor. So, it is either too dim for the sun light or too bright at night. However, I am surprised and happy to see the existence of the watch on wrist sensor. The old gen of Ticwatch Pro lacked of it. So, it continues to drain the battery even when you take it off the wrist, all sensors continue to work while not wearing it.

[@hannyhou9730]

I've been subscribing to your channel for years now looking for a fashion smart watch for women with these criteria: 1. Bezel no bigger than 40mm (I have small wrist) n preferably round shape 2. Preferably battery life min 4 days (but it can be negotiabe to at least 2 days since I'm desperate) 3. Cost no more than $200 But I still haven't found a suitable candidate. Could you recommend anything? Basically all I want is just shink the size of the TicWatch E3 a bit, n put a rose gold bazel on it. That'll be perfect. Is there anything like that in the market now?

[@anthonyschutz7201]

For $120 this is going to be a steal.

Have u bought it??how is it?? Battery???

[@eveadamified]

Share your experience please if you bought it

[@akshay5569]

@@eveadamified I ordered galaxy watch 3,here are thr reasons this have wear os ,new update is guaranteed, latest processor , What led to me to purchase watch 3is In India basically there are 0 service cnetrss for mobvoi ,it should have to be sent to China, second ,it looks cheap and if you accidently hit it somewhere then it would cause damage since it doesn't have any gorilla glass protection thr screen is exposed open ,and its plastic and have big bezels ,you can't get any protective case in any website for e3, Why I choose watch 3- Looks so premium in the hands ,i Screen is gorilla glass DX protected and screen is not exposed open its protected inside the bezels since the watch have military grade protection its a tank . Rotating bezel make the navigation so easier . If you have a samsung phone watch 3works great , and also with androids I don't want the watch to replace my phone ,tizen app store doesn't have wide variety of apps but it have everything that you need, you can even get spotify inbuilt, which is great ,since am a gym guy I dont want to be scared whether my watch hit somewhere, service centers are plenty ,you can get protective case for watch 3in amazon which provide more protection, you can alter the look of watch 3 with all those accessories, tizen is a smooth os ,with no over decoration ,and you can get 2-2 half days battery if you are not so intense with these

[@bharathkumar-it2jo]

Hi Mike I am from India... I started watching your videos from past week and they are really genuine. I like the way you test each and every aspect of a device. Keep up the good work bro.

[@anthonyschutz7201]

I actually like the look, looks more like a standard watch

[@Me-eb3wv]

Yup. Used to have an Apple watch myself, and I always felt like it was overrated and overpriced. This on the other hand isn’t overrated or overpriced so it’s more on my lane

[@jessetyas8559]

Awesome review! Glad the watch brought me to your channel. Just picked up the E3 on Amazon for 200.00 CAD.

[@Eaglebird8853]

Congrats ! Tell me if the google assistant ca n control smart home devices such as bulb , fan AC etc

[@mattzamo7492]

Another great review Mike, defiantly tempted to get this one. Do you think it will get the new Wear OS thats rumoured for later in the year?

[@obidean3964]

It's not great time to buy any Wear watches atm. I suggest better wait until the new gen Wear watches come out ...

[@Scott93312]

I believe that it was confirmed that last year's Tic Watch Pro 3 will be getting the update, so it's likely this will as well seeing as they share the same processor. I want to see a Pro 4 watch, and whatever Google is allegedly preparing to release. This watch is nice though.

[@obidean3964]

@@Scott93312 There's no final official statement from Google regarding the state of current Wear smartwatches. The most recent I've read was from a Google spokesperson and it's still not very conclusive and concrete to be confirmation. Just wait until the next gen watches arrive, just around the corner. Also Samsung will showcased their new watches running on new Wear OS next week, can look forward to that ...

[@jessetyas8559]

Ticwatch had confirmed it will get the new wear os sometime in the middle of 2022.

What watches have a way to get help if you fall? Also which ones show blood pressure not just heart rate? Thanks, enjoyed 2 videos.

Galaxy watch 3

[@pdempsey]

Good stuff Mike. Is this possibly the "cheapest" workout-without-phone smartwatch out there? I've been waiting for an actually viable "anti-Apple" watch (inexpensive, Android) and it seems this is the closest yet. Of course the inexpensive requirement will always mean several feature compromises.

[@vito6397]

How would you compare it to the Samsung Active 2? Is this one outright better or is the Active 2 still worth considering? And isn't right now an overall "bad time" to buy a smartwatch until we see what the google+samsung partnership brings to the table?

[@harbyandrefrancofernandez3310]

My birthday is coming so im deciding perhaps on a smart watch😅 i don't understand much on them so perhaps 150$ is as much as i will go. But considering how good this one seems, would you recommend spending a bit more and going for it or perhaps anything better closer to my price range? I run sometimes only, and mainly want this for the smart features. Cool video! Sorry for the long text

[@Dowon]

Always thought about a smartwatch ever since I watched all your watch videos. This seems like a great contender. I'll be sure to use your affiliate link when I pick one up 😉 Question, if you were to add or improve one thing from this watch, what would it be?

[@cypher901]

WearOS is great if the device is equipped with high-end chip otherwise it's like you use Apple watch series 1 and you try to put and use watchOS7 on it.

[@frankdaeran352]

... at the higher end of the 'budget' category in Canada, listing @ $250 (~ $270 ish after tax), but still a very nice watch.

[@stevehorvath6301]

Great review Mike. There are a lot of smart watch/tech reviewers on You Tube, but you are the one I trust the most. I bought this watch based on your review of the TicWatch E3. I love this watch, very affordable for what it offers.

[@gamercatsz5441]

I have it, it’s great. They actually did a challenge to work out at 130 heartrate/20 minutes a day. If you do the workout 21 dayys straight, you get a full refund, meaning a free watch. And this is indeed one of the only watches that gets the wear os 3 update.

[@MrHeebee]

Great honest and accurate video. This is the watch I bought. It's an 'Enthusiasts' watch not a fitness watch. It has the options maybe just not the precision you want. I also don't care for 3rd party OS or Stores. Thanks Google Store is good enough for me. I like the 'vanilla' of the watch and fact at a low price it supports most everything other than fitness. Perfect. We need more vanilla OS watches like this.

[@TunjungUtomo]

I came here after the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 came into the market, so I'm looking around for if there's any alternative Snapdragon 4100 that's more affordable. I was stoked to buy this watch at the start of the video, but that heart rate sensor results really put me down, as exercises and sports are a major part of my days. Funnily enough, Rob Terhorst from Quantified Scientist channel also found sensors in the flagship, not just for Samsung, but for WearOS as a system, the Galaxy Watch 4, are lacking in accuracy. So I begin to question is this a vendor problem or WearOS problem? I'm pleased WearOS has come a long way, but it seems to still lack those small refinements. Btw, I'm not an Apple Watch user exactly because of the still poor battery life

[@steszlierik6988]

Hi guys, I have a question for you. I'm planning to buy a smartwatch and I have to choose between the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and the TicWatch E3. The Galaxy Watch 4 is only 22 Euros more expensive than the TicWatch. Idk if I should spend that extra money on the Samsung one. Does the extra half gig of RAM, 8gig ROM, better display and build quality worth 22 Euros?

[@edrysammy8027]

great review! , can this watch download app like youtube music,or any suitable games like subway surfer on google play?

[@nnjjee1]

2 day battery is a deal breaker for me, and the less than stellar HR accuracy. I’ll stick with Garmin for now but it looks like TicWatch needs to be paid attention to, especially when they adopt Samsung/Google new WearOS in a future watch

I'm surprised you didn't mention the ticwatch pro in the best watches of 21. I picked up the pro for an extra $20 on prime day. :) Great watch let down by googles appallingly buggy mess of an OS. Google wear assistant is at times unfit for purpose until it's fixed. :( But aside from this they are great watches.. Bit nervous swimming with mine but we'll see... I guess that's why I didn't get it direct just in case it doesn't like water :D I would recommend this watch for those on a budget and the call quality is 100 times better than my previous Gen 5.

Which watch is better this 1 or the active 2?

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

If you need to track fitness, health, or want an ECG, the Active 2 is the clear choice. Otherwise, they are pretty close. This has the advantage of being slightly cheaper and running WearOS (which will probably be supported longer than TizenOS now that we know Samsung and Google are collaborating) but other than that, I think the Active 2 might eek out a small victory here. This is just my hot take here, but I might make a full comparison to find the actual full answer

[@forty_four.]

Thank you plz make the comparison

[@Bellissima2k]

Active 2 will be better in the long run. Samsung is reputable company and their hardware has good build quality. As for apps Samsung has all the apps a smart watch would need and it works well with Samsung phones. I don't really care for Wear OS or any potential future updates as the OS is bad and you don't even know if this small company will even update or support their watch long term where as Samsung you'll get 3 years from the watches release.

[@wag-on]

Really struggling with this watch. First off, registering with mobvoi website times out with non-existance recaptcha error. Apps and HR features only work when registered. So installed Strava for the GPS to miss most of my run. Speaker very tinny. Wear OS constantly asks to be unlocked (even when you've just done it moments beforehand), switched that feature off but then GooglePay insists that its switched back on. I expect my experience to be just as simple as regular phone android - Wear OS needs a lot of work in that respect.

[@TeeLau]

I like it, going to give it a shot.
