After a successful Kickstarter campaign earlier this year, Mobvoi, the company behind the Google Assistant TicHome Mini speaker are getting set to ship out their Android Wear powered TicWatch S & E smartwatches.
The pre-order phase is still going on their website, with the watches set to be sent out by November 20th. The pricing is great for a smartwatch, with the TicWatch S priced at $253.63 AUD and the TicWatch E priced at $202.90 AUD with free shipping included for both.
If you missed the Kickstarter announcement, the watches differ in design but spec wise are very much similar with a fully round 1.4″ OLED display with anti-scratch glass, and under the hood they’re powered by a dual-core 1.2GHz Mediatek MT2601 processor, 512MB of RAM and 4GB of onboard storage. With built-in GPS, Heart-rate monitor and Accelerometer they’re designed to be used as fitness watches with a polycarbonate body.
There are differences between them, the Ticwatch E is the smaller of the two and also supports swappable watch bands. The Ticwatch S is slightly larger and includes a GPS antenna in the band, which unfortunately can’t be swapped.
The TicWatch S is available in stylish Glacier, Knight and Aurora (White, Black and Yellow), while the TicWatch E comes in Ice, Lemon and Shadow (White, Yellow and Black) – and after years of Black and White options, that yellow is looking brilliant.
Pricing wise, the TicWatch S and TicWatch E are bargains, especially when compared to the range of watches available in Australia. The stocks of both models are quite limited, so you may want to get in early.
