Is it fair to judge a device on factors that a manufacturer can’t control? Unfortunately, yes: while tech junkies might recognize that the problems with Wear OS aren’t the fault of an individual device, that doesn’t make the problems go away.

Now that I’ve given away the crux of this review let’s talk about the TicWatch S2. It’s at the top of Mobvoi’s current product line, which still puts it on the budget end of Wear OS watches. And based on its hardware, style, and price, it might warrant a hesitant thumbs up.

But even on its own merits, the S2 is merely mediocre, with connection issues and poor battery life dragging down an otherwise serviceable design and good value. With Wear’s clunky interface, not to mention its uncertain future as a platform, it just isn’t getting a recommendation.
