Ticwatch S2 Smartwatch, US Military-grade Durability, Waterproof 5 ATM, Build-in GPS, Heart-rate Monitor, Wear OS by Google Sports Smart Watch, Compatible with Android and iOS, Black

It's very light so gave this to dad as a present. The built quality feels solid, high resolution screen and very sensitive. Battery last for 1.5days with normal use and get up to 2 days light use. Works well with dad's sumasung galaxy phone.He enjoyed the heart monitor and fitness tracker as they're fairly accurate. Haven't tested out GPS function yet but so far good value for money.

This is my first full smartwatch. Had a hybrid fossil one for a year but wanted more in the way of notifications and information.I'm using this with a oneplus 6t running andriod 9.0, no idea what it's like with ios but comments suggest you need. An apple watch with an iPhone.So over to this one.I decided in September 2018 that I would be buying a smartwatch but then the new Snapdragon 3100 was announced so I thought I'd wait... And I waited and waited and waited. Then I read that the improvements weren't great anyway so I thought I'd try one of these, the price being the major selling point.First up you need to add the wear os app to your phone and then connect via Bluetooth.Watch then did a series of updates while I left it on the charger and ended up on wear 2.3, but not the "H" update so that will hopefully fall soon.After that it's just a case is setting it up, Google play on the watch shows what apps you have on your phone that have wear os functions and you can download them and install. All very easy if you read a little first.In the wear app on your phone you select the notifications to come up on the watch, over a week or 2 I've reduced these considerably but that's down to what I need to know about.My notificatuons are basically whatsapp, messenger, weather, texts etc but also some specific work apps too.For fitness you have the option of tichealth or Google fit. Initially it t defaults to tic but a long press on the screen allows you to change to Google fit. Both work well, I've settled on Google fit though.I've added a custom watch face, marine Commander which is great, and I'm relatively happy overall.What I don't like is down to wear os.It doesn't track sleep, I now use sleep by andriod app for that and it's great but should be a default setting in the os and it's not easy to find something that tracks your heartbeat during the day.Battey life is listed as 2 days, I doubt I'll ever see that but can get 28 hours comfortably with an always on watch face and plenty of notifications coming through.It charges in a little over an hour but there is an issue with the charger cradle, I got a second one with the watch and that's all ready been returned as (from reading forums) they burn out is using a fast USB charger... First time I've come across this so am now using an ancient USB plug from an old phonebwith onky a 1a output. Amazon refunded the charger but I was left without a functioning watch when away with work last week, so not happy.Also you need an s2 or e2 charger as s and e ones don't work.So overall its pretty good, waterproof, not at all laggy and works well with an easy day of battery life. Just watch the charger and carry a spare!Happy to answer any questions.It is very good value

Use this for sport mainly; tracking rides and runs, plus need one a smart watch that can cope with more extreme conditions where it is going to get wet - skiing, kayaking, swimming etc.Always wanted a smartwatch that could be with me all day on the beach, at the pool, in and out of water etc..Now there is a Ticwatch for this.Dial and overall look of the watch is a big improvement on the Ticwatch S which I had previously - it is completely black and does away with the yellow detailing on the S. Much, much, better IMHO.And the best news - S2 is waterproof. This is a huge step forward. Leaves me feeling the the whole package is much more resilient, designed and rugged. Loving it over these first few weeks of usage.Prior Ticwatch version did lose the Bluetooth connection. No issues thus far - I'm using an iPhone X also which is counter-intuitive as watch is Android but Wear is working well on the Apple platformBetter selection of watch faces which are v. easy to select and download . See pictures.Also the charger (see photo) is far more resilient that than for the S - again a big step forward. Watch connects far more securely and charges quickly. Battery life is an an improvement on S as well.Very easy through Google to add extra apps - such as my go-to favourite of Strava which 'ports' well on this watch and is accurate.Why have Apple Watch with iPhone when you can get this at a fraction of the cost - and wear it anywhere...Finally it's beautifully packaged - looks great as a present!

The watch itself is ok, but can be a bit slow at times and have to restart it. The watch description however is wrong, or at least for the strap. I brought the watch to go on holiday with as I new I would be doing water sports and wanted something tough and waterproof. I when on an hour jetski tour and had it on my wrist 3/4 of the way round. When I was back on land I found the watch had gone and can only assume the strap broke when I was removed the Jetski safety strap from my wrist or some time before. Either way the watch should not fall off considering it is advertised as being 'Military Grade'
