Smartwatches represent a new generation of technology: With these small, digital all-rounders, you can read your e-mails and text messages, log your health data or make phone calls. But that’ just the beginning: these watches can detect when their owner falls and call for help in an emergency. At the same time, they also look chic.
Available in a slim, minimalist round design or as an angular variant, smartwatches are a handy companion during sports, at work or during leisure time. These electronic wristwatches monitor sleep, serve as a navigation system and are capable of playing music. They are usually linked to a smartphone and must be compatible with its operating system. The performance spectrum is far greater than that of an analog watch from classic watch manufacturers.

While a number of the featured wristbands and watches are using their own branded systems, the Mobvoi TicWatch E3 uses Wear OS 2.0. This fun watch borrows a lot from the more feature-rich TicWatch 3 Pro, but some of the features have disappeared. However, that went hand in hand with the final price, leaving us with no complaints. In addition, the TicWatch E3 is one of the most successful Wear OS watches to hit the market recently.
The watch’s resistance meets the IP68 standard, the display is “only” an LCD display, but with sufficient brightness, one can comfortably use the watch in direct sunlight. This watch can measure heart rate, blood oxygen level, normal movements and even sleep. Furthermore, there is a sensor that measures ambient noise. You can quickly access twenty different exercises directly from your wrist.
The watch case’s plastic structure is not bothering, though the display’s glass should be of better quality. In addition, the outdated Wear OS might not please everyone. On the other hand, the watch (as one of the few) can look forward to a comprehensive upgrade of the system, which will remove most of the criticized shortcomings. It will just take some time.
The TicWatch E3 is also the only watch that the manufacturer offers completely free of charge. Of course, you paid for it, but if you stick to the set workout limits, the manufacturer will give you back up to 100 percent of the purchase price. Stay tuned for more of the best smartwatches currently on the market.
