Mobvoi TicWatch E2 and TicWatch S2
Mobvoi's second generation "Express" and "Sport" smartwatches return with mixed results. The retooled E2 fails to impress with uninspired design and missing features, while the fitness-focused S2 blazes a trail for durable Wear OS smartwatches.
Nestled among the absolute truckload of new smartwatches at CES 2019 were two fresh Wear OS devices from prolific Chinese smartwatch maker and AI company, Mobvoi.
Mobvoi is on a bit of a hot streak following the launches of the excellent TicWatch Pro and the equally great TicWatch C2, but can it carry that momentum forward in 2019 with its entry-level wearables?

Right now, customers can pick up Samsung’s latest Note series flagships for a fraction of the price — $360 for the Note 10 and $480 for the Note 10 Plus.

The only catch is that customers will get the discount over the course of an installment plan through Sprint when they open a new line. Other than that, the deal is open to new or existing customers.

When the original Samsung Galaxy Note launched, it included the first iteration of the S Pen: a stylus that could dock into the body of the phone. It was a new approach to the retro stylings of PDAs in the 90s.
But the S Pen itself was rather simple. Yes, it had a certain degree of pressure sensitivity and a button that let you perform special functions, but overall that first S Pen was just a beefed-up plastic stylus.
