WEBVTT 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.338 - Get the hell out of my life. Who needs you? 00:00:03.338 --> 00:00:07.690 (melancholy piano music) Beat it, leave me alone. The deplorable state of Wear OS 00:00:07.690 --> 00:00:11.610 is one of the main reasons that I haven't been using Wear OS watch, 00:00:11.610 --> 00:00:17.340 in spite of the fact that I daily drive Android. But, I'm hoping that this unboxing 00:00:17.340 --> 00:00:20.350 sponsored by Mobvoi for their TicWatch E3 00:00:20.350 --> 00:00:24.510 is going to help me turn the corner here, because there's a lot of things 00:00:24.510 --> 00:00:29.640 that are looking up right now. I mean, first and foremost, is obviously Google's acquisition of Fitbit, 00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:33.270 which should give Google a big shove in the right direction in terms of development. 00:00:33.270 --> 00:00:37.050 One of the other big things that's happened is we're finally getting some better hardware. 00:00:37.050 --> 00:00:40.070 So this watch right here, the TicWatch E3, 00:00:40.070 --> 00:00:44.890 is actually only the second on the market to use the Snapdragon Wear 4100. 00:00:44.890 --> 00:00:48.110 That processor is a dramatic improvement 00:00:48.110 --> 00:00:55.410 over the previous 3100, going all the way from a 28 nanometer manufacturing process down to just 12. 00:00:55.410 --> 00:00:59.490 So everything from CPU to GPU to connectivity 00:00:59.490 --> 00:01:03.700 is multiple generations of improvement better. 00:01:03.700 --> 00:01:07.670 I mean, we're going from Bluetooth 4.2 to Bluetooth 5.0. 00:01:07.670 --> 00:01:10.840 So let's go ahead and get this thing unboxed. The main highlights from Mobvoi, 00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:16.970 before we actually fire it up are that, of course, it's using the Snapdragon Wear 4100 processor. 00:01:16.970 --> 00:01:22.870 It's got a 2.5D curved display, it's IP68 water resistant. 00:01:22.870 --> 00:01:28.350 They actually asked me to clarify that IP68 means fresh water, 00:01:28.350 --> 00:01:31.640 not salt water. And that's true not just to this watch, 00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.740 that's anything that has a water resistance rating. 00:01:34.740 --> 00:01:39.490 You know, you go and put any electronics in a conductive liquid, you're gonna have a pretty bad time. 00:01:39.490 --> 00:01:43.350 It's got 20 plus professional workout modes with their TicMotion technology, 00:01:43.350 --> 00:01:47.940 and it's got 24/7 heart tracking, blood oxygen saturation monitoring, 00:01:47.940 --> 00:01:51.430 stress and sleep tracking, and VO2 max tracking during runs. 00:01:51.430 --> 00:01:55.630 So basically, that means that it's gonna check your maximum rate of oxygen consumption 00:01:55.630 --> 00:01:59.973 while you're working out. Let's go ahead and get this unboxed. You got your Do Not Eat. 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.400 You got you Quick Start Guide. They've got your, ah, yes. 00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:09.150 Okay, so they're using a magnetic attaching charging cable. 00:02:09.150 --> 00:02:14.383 I mean, obviously, with any kind of watch, you don't want a USB cable. So it's got magnetic action, like that. 00:02:15.537 --> 00:02:19.340 I think that passes the easy to attach test. 00:02:19.340 --> 00:02:22.570 Okay, let's try and turn it on now. Oh, whoops. 00:02:22.570 --> 00:02:27.201 I started it up in the diagnostic thing. 00:02:27.201 --> 00:02:31.750 Whoopsie-daisy. Oh, wow. Product name, Rice Fish. 00:02:31.750 --> 00:02:34.790 So there you go, ladies and gentlemen, you hold both buttons 00:02:34.790 --> 00:02:38.160 if you wanna bring up that menu. Hey, there we go. 00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:41.560 All right. Now obviously, compared to their own TicWatch Pro 3, 00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:45.880 there are a couple sacrifices that had to be made in order to hit this aggressive price point 00:02:45.880 --> 00:02:49.270 while still keeping the specs very compelling. 00:02:49.270 --> 00:02:53.710 So it does have a plastic housing. And obviously with that comes a smaller display. 00:02:53.710 --> 00:02:57.740 But, guys, specs are important in something like this. 00:02:57.740 --> 00:03:02.020 Like, look how fluid that scrolling is. If that's the sacrifice they had to make, 00:03:02.020 --> 00:03:07.230 this thing is $199 US. That is so much smoother 00:03:07.230 --> 00:03:12.240 than any other Android Wear or Wear OS experience that I've had. 00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.294 It actually feels smooth. Finally, right? 00:03:16.294 --> 00:03:20.500 (mellow music) Okay, there we go. 00:03:20.500 --> 00:03:24.780 Welcome to Wear OS. I have to confess, it's actually been a little while. 00:03:24.780 --> 00:03:26.793 There's your voice interaction. 00:03:28.750 --> 00:03:33.690 All right, there's your quick settings. There's your activity, weather. 00:03:33.690 --> 00:03:36.800 Blur that, it's calendar events. (Linus laughs) 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:40.520 Unable to detect heart rate. Please authorize heart sensor. Okay, well we can do that. 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:45.110 Sure. Okay. Let's find out what my heart rate is. 00:03:46.920 --> 00:03:50.960 79 beats per minute. Is that good? 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:54.890 I don't know. Okay, so you can swipe up to move tiles. 00:03:54.890 --> 00:03:58.563 You can add tiles, like simple calculator. 00:03:59.420 --> 00:04:03.850 Timer, a bunch of workout stuff. Voice memo. 00:04:03.850 --> 00:04:05.500 That's a nice, simple watch face. 00:04:08.230 --> 00:04:13.260 Cool, hey, my battery life's pretty nice. It's a 380mAh power battery. 00:04:13.260 --> 00:04:17.070 And that is just so much more responsive than the old processors. 00:04:17.070 --> 00:04:19.833 Let's see what happens if I click on a Trello thing. 00:04:20.970 --> 00:04:26.520 Yes, no reply, open on phone. (mellow music) 00:04:26.520 --> 00:04:29.756 I don't think so. There we go. All right, cool. 00:04:29.756 --> 00:04:31.653 It's supposed to review some thumbnails. 00:04:33.010 --> 00:04:36.370 All right. Now, one of the first things that I'm gonna adjust 00:04:36.370 --> 00:04:40.990 with any smartwatch is Always on Display. So it does support Always on Display, 00:04:40.990 --> 00:04:44.720 which means I just need to go find it because it doesn't seem to be enabled by default. 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:48.083 Whoops. Settings. Display. Right there. 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:54.030 Front and center, always on screen, and done. Yay. 00:04:54.030 --> 00:04:56.770 All right, so let's see what the Always on Display looks like now. 00:04:58.060 --> 00:05:01.510 There we go. Perfect. A watch that actually works as a watch. 00:05:01.510 --> 00:05:05.120 That's absolutely critical. Hey, Colton, text me. 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.420 Okay, so I'm gonna pretend to be popular, 00:05:08.420 --> 00:05:12.013 and like I get messages. (phone chiming) Hey. 00:05:12.013 --> 00:05:17.180 "Hi, I'm big fan." (smooth hip hop music) 00:05:17.180 --> 00:05:20.560 Hi, is this Colton Potter? Never call this number again. 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:23.603 Thank you. - [Colton] I'm your biggest fan. 00:05:23.603 --> 00:05:27.420 (people laughing) - I'm kidding, I'm kidding. 00:05:27.420 --> 00:05:33.740 Love you, Colton. Now let's try using Google Assistant with the E3. Okay Google, set an alarm for 5:30 PM on Friday 00:05:33.740 --> 00:05:34.933 to fire Colton. 00:05:39.004 --> 00:05:42.110 - [Virtual Assistant] Sorry, I can't set alarms on your phone more than 24 hours 00:05:42.110 --> 00:05:43.810 before they're supposed to go off. 00:05:46.170 --> 00:05:50.350 - Oh my God. I have a system update that it just started doing. 00:05:50.350 --> 00:05:53.500 While the watch was updating, I had some time to think and there's something 00:05:53.500 --> 00:05:57.409 I've got to make right here. (phone line trilling) Calling Colton back. 00:05:57.409 --> 00:06:02.676 - [Colton] Hello. - Hey, I'm sorry, babe. I didn't mean that. I think they're excellent finger paintings. 00:06:02.676 --> 00:06:06.735 - [Colton] What? - Please don't go. - [Colton] Who is this? 00:06:06.735 --> 00:06:10.350 (Linus laughing) - Um, bye-bye. 00:06:10.350 --> 00:06:14.060 - Fine. Get the hell out of my life. 00:06:14.060 --> 00:06:17.810 Who needs you? Beat it, leave me alone. 00:06:19.350 --> 00:06:22.800 There's a couple other things I wanted to show. I want to go to the Play Store. 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:27.211 Apparently, there's like a zombie game you can play on this thing. Zombies Run Free. 00:06:27.211 --> 00:06:30.543 - [Colton] Oh, perfect. Here we go. Oh, wait. 00:06:30.543 --> 00:06:33.033 This is like, you run away from the zombies. 00:06:34.197 --> 00:06:36.933 - [Jono] Wait, what? - Like you have to actually run. 00:06:38.470 --> 00:06:43.090 I don't know if I wanna actually run like that. While I wait for this zombie game to install, 00:06:43.090 --> 00:06:48.500 it uses standard watch strap like posts. So all you do is take your stack one off 00:06:48.500 --> 00:06:52.910 and then you can- What is this? Did someone just, like, give me their watch strap? 00:06:52.910 --> 00:06:56.089 Is this yours, Colton? - [Colton] Oh, just show the white one. Don't show the other one. 00:06:56.089 --> 00:06:59.880 - What, no, that's fine. The point is that you can put a standard watch strap on it , right? 00:06:59.880 --> 00:07:05.270 So you've got this grubby old watch strap. Thanks, Colton. I'm probably gonna get like germs from it. 00:07:05.270 --> 00:07:08.760 Oh, nope. Yours is a little bit wider. - [Colton] Oh. 00:07:08.760 --> 00:07:11.610 - Well that's the first time he's ever heard that before. 00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:17.130 Got 'em. Well, this is funny. I had wanted to show you guys the interchangeable watch straps. 00:07:17.130 --> 00:07:20.900 They just use standard 20 millimeter watch straps. But these are not 20 millimeters. 00:07:20.900 --> 00:07:25.090 These are like 22 millimeter, 24 millimeters or something like that. 00:07:25.090 --> 00:07:29.254 So see you later. Exercise time, ladies and gentlemen. 00:07:29.254 --> 00:07:32.470 TicWatch's app has all your, I mean, 00:07:32.470 --> 00:07:37.680 presumably historical sleep, heart rate, blood oxygen, stress data. 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:41.243 And then if you click Exercise and go to All Exercises, you can pick one. 00:07:41.243 --> 00:07:46.430 So I'm a go- Let's see, I'm gonna go with Taekwondo. 00:07:46.430 --> 00:07:49.550 Wait, how do I start it? Oh, I figured it out. 00:07:49.550 --> 00:07:53.510 Obviously, you start the exercise on the watch. This is just the log. 00:07:53.510 --> 00:07:57.330 And I was having a hard time figuring out what I was looking at because- 00:07:57.330 --> 00:08:01.850 TicWatch a little bit of honest feedback, these should be in alphabetical order, please. 00:08:01.850 --> 00:08:06.840 H, I, J, yeah, no, they're just in no order in particular, 00:08:06.840 --> 00:08:11.170 I guess. Okay. Apparently we're doing jumping jacks. 00:08:11.170 --> 00:08:14.997 Hey, look at that. They've even got a thing for it. All right, we're going. 00:08:14.997 --> 00:08:20.100 (upbeat music) (tape rewind squeaking) 00:08:20.100 --> 00:08:23.773 Hey, Colton, it's called a jumping jack. You ever try one? - [Colton] Oh, no. 00:08:23.773 --> 00:08:27.370 I tried one and then I quit. (tape rewind squeaking) 00:08:27.370 --> 00:08:32.200 - He does a lot of reps of like, the food to the mouth, you know? (people sarcastically laughing) 00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:34.340 (tape rewind squeaking) Okay, is that a minute? 00:08:35.330 --> 00:08:38.440 That's 59 seconds. I'm done, I'm done. Okay. 00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:42.830 High intensity interval training. Here we go. 126. 00:08:42.830 --> 00:08:45.510 Nothing abnormal today. That's what I peaked at though. 00:08:46.390 --> 00:08:49.580 Sweet. That's my heart rating. 00:08:50.610 --> 00:08:56.890 Okay. So that's pretty much it. That's the TicWatch E3, Snapdragon 4100, 200 bucks. 00:08:56.890 --> 00:09:00.740 Guys, you can find that link in the video description. Thanks again to Mobvoi for sponsoring this video, 00:09:00.740 --> 00:09:05.560 and we'll see you later. Make sure you subscribe to ShortCircuit. You can call my number whenever you want.
