The TicWatch E3 is a new smartwatch from Mobvoi that is expected to launch soon. The smartwatch which will launch as a successor to the 2019 TicWatch E2 has leaked ahead of its release, giving us a good look at its design as well as key specs.
We first learned of the TicWatch E3 in April when evidence of its existence was found in a teardown of the Mobvoi app. Last month, it was certified by the Bluetooth SIG and its certificate revealed it has the model number WH12068, connects via Bluetooth 5.0, and will run WearOS. Now, a Russian Instagram user by the name andrey_koftun has managed to get his hand on a unit before its announcement.
In the video, the smartwatch is shown to come in a white square box that has an image of the wearable as well as some specs printed on it. The smartwatch itself comes in black with matching silicone straps and there is a chance that will be the only color available as that is the only color its predecessor comes in.
The TicWatch E3 is a pretty thick smartwatch as it is significantly thicker than the OnePlus Watch which the leaker is wearing. For your information, the OnePlus Watch is 10.9 millimeters thick. There are two buttons on the side of the watch and the round display is covered in 2.5D glass.
The underside is home to four contact pins at the top which attaches magnetically to the included charging cable in the box. There are also five sensors for heart rate monitoring and blood oxygen level measurement. The source confirms that the watch has a microphone and speaker and we can see slits on the body for these features.
The display has a black bezel around it, and surprisingly, it is reported that it is not an OLED type. Under the thick body is a Snapdragon Wear 4100 processor, the same chip inside the TicWatch Pro 3. The smartwatch also has support for more than 20 workout modes and can also track stress, sleep, and VO2 max during workouts.
Mobvoi already announced that it has a launch scheduled for June 16 and there is a high chance that the TicWatch E3 will be announced on that day. We don’t know how much it will cost but we have a feeling it may be a little higher than the $159.99 launch price of the TicWatch E2.
