Many people launch their projects on Kickstarter only to see them fail. Of course, there are also projects which are funded quickly and raise incredible amounts of money even before they reach their end. The Ticwatch S & E is a great example for the former category. The project still has 16 days to go and already managed to raise almost $2 million. Given the fact that the goal of the project was $100,000, it’s safe to assume that this was a major success. More than 12,000 people backed the project, obviously with more than the minimum amount of money. These numbers will probably grow even more before the project ends in 16 days.
The Ticwatch S & E is not the Mobvoi team’s first project. According to the team, the new product is a result of the feedback they got after their first project. This time around, the gadget is even more interesting, beautiful, and useful. The Ticwatch S and Ticwatch E are without a doubt a good- looking smartwatch. While they have similar designs, the Ticwatch S is actually the sports edition, with a breathable band design. The Ticwatch E looks more like a casual accessory with its interchangeable strap and translucent casing. Both models have award winning designs, so either of them is a great choice.
Both models run on Android Wear, however, they are compatible with iOS devices also. They offer a variety of third party watch faces designed just for the Ticwatch S & E. This way, users can personalize their wearable to their liking. The gadgets are waterproof, so users can wear them even when swimming. The devices feature GPS tracking, sleep monitor, a heart rate monitor, a proximity sensor, a gyroscope, and an accelerometer. Naturally, the Ticwatch not only gathers the user’s data, it also analyzes it. In order to enjoy the full Ticwatch experience, users can also purchase Ticpods, which pair with the smartwatches seamlessly.
The price of the Ticwatch E is slightly lower, backers can get their hands on one of these beauties for only $119. Those who wish to wear the Ticwatch S will need to back the project with at least $139. For $258, backers can get both models and a pair of Ticpods. No wonder the project was such a success. The products will start shipping in October, hopefully. Given the fact that the goal was quickly achieved, it’s safe to assume that there will be no problems with the shipment of the final product either.
