There’s a tenth of a mile difference in the estimated distance but considering the TicBand doesn’t have GPS, that really isn’t bad.Īverage heart rate and calories were both very close between the two.ĭistance/Calories Grade: B+ Heart Rate Sensor It’s hard to say which one was more accurate but looking at the distance estimate, it looks like the TicBand might have over-counted the steps but it’s hard to say. In this test, the TicBand estimated quite a few more steps than the Apple Watch. Below are the results from a 22-minute outdoor walk including steps, average heart rate, calories, and distance estimates. Step Tracking Grade: C- Distance, Calories, Average Heart Rate EstimatesĪs was stated earlier, the TicBand doesn’t utilize GPS to estimate distance while the Apple Watch does for outdoor activities. While the TicBand did well with step tracking during longer walks, I have to take some major points off for missing a number of steps throughout the day. Of course, the Apple Watch does way more than the TicBand but I’m only comparing basic fitness features here. I think it’s helpful information for consumers to know. It’s not, and not fitness tracker is, but I like comparing high-end fitness trackers to more affordable ones to see what the differences are. Note: I should say that I didn’t compare the TicBand to the Apple Watch because the Apple Watch is assumed to be 100% accurate. That’s pretty darn close for such a long walk/run!

There wasn’t a huge difference between the two in these tests, so for longer walks I got similar results.įor a much longer 46-minute test on a treadmill the TicBand estimated 5,529 steps while the Apple Watch Series 4 estimated 5,487 for a difference of only 42 steps. Below are the results of three 200-step walks I did compared against the Apple Watch. However, the TicBand performed well for longer walks. The Fitbit Versa was a little stingy on the steps too but not like the TicBand for those shorter walks. This is true of Garmin and Samsung watches I’ve reviewed. You don’t have to reach a number of steps before it begins counting them. In contrast, the Apple Watch will try to count every step. It wants to make sure you’re really walking. This is done to prevent the tracker from counting arm movements as steps. Operating the watch is very simple as the menu contains only 7 items: the clockface, number of steps, current heart rate, distance, running activity, battery indicator, and estimated calories burned from your daily steps.Ī touch sensitive area is located at the bottom of the screen which is used to switch between different menu items. Instead it will estimate your total daily distance based upon the number of steps taken and I’m assuming your stride length. The only timed activity the TicBand supports is running and I compared it against the Apple Watch Series 4 on the treadmill and the results are below.īuilt-in or connected GPS isn’t available with the TicBand. The features are few on the TicBand compared to a smartwatch but for those looking for an inexpensive fitness tracker to count their steps, monitor their heart rate 24/7, and have sleep tracking, it might be a good choice. The TicBand has a very familiar design, reminiscent of many bracelet style fitness trackers like the Fitbit Alta or the Garmin Vivosmart. > View the current price of the on Amazon It’s a good option for those wanting to motivate themselves to take longer walks and monitor their heart rate and sleep on a daily basis. The Bottom Line: The TicBand is an affordable fitness tracker with step tracking, 24/7 heart rate monitoring, and good sleep tracking. Instead, I only knew about the TicBand from an advertisement I saw for it in the Mobvoi app but was interested in it because of its price and that it was coming from Mobvoi. I wasn’t successful in finding any information.
While Mobvoi has heavily promoted their Wear OS smartwatches the Ticwatch E and Ticwatch S and their premium Ticwatch Pro, finding information about the TicBand on their website proved to be difficult, if not futile.
The TicBand is Mobvoi’s least expensive wearable device.
