Display And Design

The TicWatch E3 features a 1.3 inched circular screen display that is made of AMOLED with a resolution of 360 x 360 pixels.

It is about 12.6mm thick and the wrist bands are interchangeable meaning you can match it with any outfit by switching straps. The smartwatch is dustproof up to a rate of IP68.

On the other hand, the Fitbit Sense comes with a larger OLED display that measures about 1.58 inches which gives the user a better user experience.

Sense is slightly less thick than TicWatch E3 (12.35mm with a case size of 40.5mm). The watch only weighs about 46g grams thus light and comfortable. The band on Fitbit Sense is also changeable.

Like the Mobvoi TicWatch E3, it is also made dustproof with a rating of IP68. Unlike the TicWatch E3, Fitbit Sense comes with a display made of damage-resistant glass. Both displays are touchscreen and respond so well to touch.

Location Tracking

Both of these smartwatches come with GPS that will help you keep track of your morning runs, cycles and walks. Also, both activity watches don’t share GPS meaning they all come with built-in GPS.

A fitness tracker with built-in GPS is a good option because it gives you a reason for not carrying your smartphone along while running, cycling, or walking. TicWatch E3’s GPS supports the Beidou satellite systems.

Water Resistance Rating

TicWatch E3 and Fitbit Sense are both waterproof watches. They are both waterproof to 5 ATMs (IP68) which means all their cases can put up with submersions of up to 50 meters in water.

If you are crazy about swimming and want a smartwatch that won’t get water-damaged go for either of the two watches.

Fitbit Sense and Mobvoi TicWatch E3 are also the best smartwatches for the shower because they will withstand water spills the shallow submersion in the bathtub. Just make sure the water from the shower or bathtub is not hot.

Communication

For those looking for Fitbit or a Mobvoi watch that can make calls or answer calls the Fitbit Sense and TicWatch E3 are both great options because they both signal incoming calls and can either answer or reject the calls.

Operating Systems –OS

TicWatch E3 and Sense are managed by Wear OS 3 and Fitbit OS version 5.1 respectively to manage their resources and allocate the resources to other programs within the watch.

Connectivity

Apart from both watches having built-in GPS+GLONASS to map routes and paces, they both come with Bluetooth version 5 connections.

The Sensors

The E3 and Fitbit Sense both feature gyroscopes that will track their orientation. In other words, measure the angular rotation of velocity.

Both the watches come with heart rate (HR) monitors to will keep track of your all day, all night, and every day plus tell you if you are stressed on not.

Sense and E3 also have built-in blood oxygen sensors (SpO2) to help find the level of oxygen that is in your blood.

Oxygen levels in the blood are presented in percentage and a blood oxygen level range of 90% to 100% is considered good anything below that requires medical attention.

In addition, both watches have an ECG reading. You will also be able to keep track of steps, calories burned, stairs climbed, and others with either of the watches.

You will also find a built-in Mobi TicSleep 2.0 that will provide you with a breakdown of how long you were asleep and your sleep stages (light, deep, and REM sleep). Fitbit Sense as well will provide you with sleep results from sleep duration to sleep stages.

Companion App

Sense and TicWatch E3 come with apps that will provide you with daily workout and wellness reports. Fitbit Sense uses the Fitbit app while the TicWatch E3 uses the Mobvoi app.  

Both of these apps can be accessed in the Apple and Google Play Store thus working with both operating systems –Android and iOS.

Battery Life

The TicWatch E3 comes with an essential mode to help your smartwatch keep in charge for a long time.

On a full charge, the TicWatch E3 can last for up to 45 days when the essential mode is on. But when the GPS is on the watch can only last for about 75 hours.

The Fitbit Sense on the other hand should last you at least 6+ days on full juice to increase the battery life on Fitbit Sense we suggest dimming the display and using the GPS feature when it is really necessary.

Which Smartwatch should I Buy: TicWatch E3 or Fitbit Sense?

Both activity trackers are good options. But according to us, we prefer the TicWatch e3 by Mobvoi because it is equipped with a lot of health and wellness features that will ensure you stay healthy.

The display is a bit larger enough to let you navigate through with minimal touch errors but it isn’t as large as Fitbit Sense. The Mobvoi TicWatch E3 also performs so fast just like Fitbit Sense.

It will keep track of your walks, sleep, and stress. Rumors have it that the smartwatch will get an OS update from Google.

Also, the TicWatch e3 is the watch to go for as it is one of the Wear OS 3 watches that is offered by Mobvoi at an affordable watch (a cheaper alternative to the TicWatch Pro 3).
