Mobvoi has often brought some of the best-specced smartwatches to the market. Today it did that once again with the launch of the TicWatch E3, which brings a host of new features.
Successor to the TicWatch E2 from 2019, the Mobvoi TicWatch E3 shifts its focus from fitness tracking to mental health and well-being. These include TicZen, which monitors stress by tracking heart rate and breathing variability. If it detects that you're starting to feel the strain, the watch will prompt you to use the TicBreath guided breathing exercises to manage your stress, and get your respiration and heart rate back to normal.
For fitness, it has 20 workout-tracking modes, an SpO2 sensor for blood oxygen saturation, sleep tracking, etc. NFC for contactless payments is also available, but that is unlikely to work in India. Another new addition is TicCare, which allows you to keep tabs on the well-being of other Ticwatch-wearers in your household. We're not yet sure how this will work, but it may be similar to Apple's forthcoming shareable health reports.
The best part of the TicWatch E3 is that it is one of the few smartwatches to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100 platform, which is leaps better than other chipsets for wearables in terms of performance and battery life. There’s also 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage onboard. There’s no word on if/when it will be updated to the upcoming overhauled Wear OS.
The design is quite similar to its predecessor with a 1.3-inch LCD screen with a 360x360 resolution and 2.5D glass on top. The smartwatch is also IP68 rated for water resistance, has a 380mAh battery, and supports Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, etc.
The TicWatch E3 is priced at Rs 19,999 in India and is available in a single Panther Black colourway. Additional 20mm silicone straps are also available at Rs 1,499, in neon yellow, and ashy blue colours.
