Mobvoi is a domestic artificial intelligence company founded in 2012, and has received multiple rounds of financing from Sequoia Capital, Google, and Volkswagen since its establishment. Mobvoi released the world's first Chinese smart watch operating system TicWear in 2014, aiming to solve the pain points of Google's smart watch system limited in China, and released its first smart watch TicWatch in 2015. Mobvoi's products also include smart speakers, car navigation and other products that require voice recognition technology. Voice interaction is one of the main interaction methods on smart watches, and Mobvoi's voice recognition software has also become the official built-in voice assistant of Google Wear OS Chinese, which is widely used in other brands of smart watches.
 
Mobvoi is the only domestic AI company that Google has invested in since its exit from China. Because of this, TicWatch has a high degree of compatibility among many Google smartwatch brands, and can quickly upgrade to the latest Google system without losing localization. One of the major advantages of domestic brands is that they can be better optimized for domestic use scenarios, rather than simply sinicizing the Google system, such as supporting NFC bus cards, WeChat payment, Alipay offline payment, Beidou navigation, Chinese voice recognition technology that supports more dialects, etc., which requires long-term operation and accumulation in China. If you want to choose a smartwatch with a Google system, TicWatch is one of the most reliable choices.
 
Mobvoi's TicWatch smart watch has many styles and multiple generations, and the price is between 800-1800 yuan, which is relatively low in a number of smart watches, but not every one of them is worth buying. TicWatch E and TicWatch 2 are both relatively early release versions, the hardware performance has been outdated, the waterproof level is low, and the power is difficult to support a day of heavy use, and now the price is less than 1,000 yuan, but it is not recommended to buy. TicWatch C2, TicWatch Pro is relatively new, upgraded to Google's latest Wear OS system, using Qualcomm Snapdragon 2100 processor, a new generation of optical heart rate sensor can monitor the user's heart rate 24 hours a day, software and hardware have reached the mainstream level, more recommended.
 
TicWatch and Huawei Watch are very similar in terms of software and hardware, both use round displays, and the built-in functions are also very similar, both support public transport cards and mobile payments, which are convenient and easy to use. In terms of appearance and style, Huawei is more business-oriented, with more high-end materials and craftsmanship, and looks more like a mechanical watch; The TicWatch is more youthful and simple, and does not deliberately imitate a mechanical watch in appearance, it is completely the appearance of a modern electronic watch, and the price is lower.
 
TicWatch C2 is similar to the Bluetooth version of Huawei Watch 2 in all aspects of function and performance, priced at 1299 yuan. The TicWatch C2 is extremely simple in appearance, with a round OLED screen with a very high screen-to-body ratio, and no fancy design outside the screen, bringing a modern and stylish atmosphere, and supporting swim-grade waterproofing. Compared with Huawei Watch 2, TicWatch C2 is upgraded to the latest Google Wear OS 2.0, which supports TicMotion that can actively identify sports postures, and regular running, cycling, and swimming can be independently recognized, for example, when you start riding, the watch will automatically record cycling data, and you don't need to set the watch to cycling mode in advance, so you won't miss scattered sports data, and a single step can bring a significant improvement in experience.
 
TicWatch Pro is a product worth recommending, the price is about 1400-1800 yuan, adding 4G communication module, operators in major cities have gradually begun to support e-SIM one dual terminal, the watch can use the same number as the mobile phone, which makes the watch have a strong independence. The most innovative thing about TicWatch Pro is that a layer of translucent black and white LCD screen is added to the original color OLED screen, in the standby state, the color OLED screen is turned off, and the black and white LCD screen with very low power consumption displays basic information such as time and steps, and the OLED screen displays the content normally after lighting up the watch, and the display effect is no different from that of a general smart watch. This allows the TicWatch Pro to significantly increase the uptime of use by 1-5 days, and the watch mode standby can be up to 30 days, which is completely unrivaled in a smartwatch with a Google system.
 
If you are sports-oriented, you value sports and health data monitoring, TicWatch C2 is a stylish, beautiful and smart enough sports watch, the small size is no burden after wearing it on your hand, and it is easier to wear it consistently. The TicWatch Pro has a very obvious advantage in terms of battery life, and can also be used separately from the phone, but it is slightly inferior to the TicWatch C2 in terms of water resistance and automatic motion monitoring.
