Me: Ok time to save money, have a trip to melbourne coming up, save for a house, car and wedding... Brilliant...

Internet: Oh hey you know how you wanted a smartwatch that was not sporty looking and has NFC, heres the Ticwatch C2!

Me: I hate my life...

Internet: also heres some of the programming theory books you wanted on sale!

Me: starts tying noose

Why must saving money be so bloody hard when everything you've wanted just pops up .-.

So it's a sad day that I say goodbye to my moto 360 gen 2, purchased a ticwatch C2 and here's hoping the OLED screen and NFC capabilities are worth giving up my favourite watch...

Ugh fuck living in Australia trying to buy tech, wanted to treat myself and get a Skagen falser smartwatch. Nope, but we ship to the US...

Always having to pay extra for the same product, pissed me off when people were complaining that $60 is too much for a AAA game and here we are sitting at base of $100.

Can people start realising other countries want tech as well?
Every other Smartwatch other than ticwatch aren't available in Australia, I just want something minimal and with a metal body, fuck companies man -,-

Mobvoi just launched the new Ticwatch S2/E2. Currently have the S1.

This FAQ page has me scratching my head. Guess their documentation team wrote part of this before they decided to pull the NFC feature?

Maybe?

If so, that's something in common with my company 🤣

I ordered a Ticwatch C2.

It comes today, I plug in the charger since it's dead whenever I get it, and the charger works for all of 5 minutes; just long enough to set it up.

Immediately after setup, it shuts down and flashes the batter symbol every time I try to turn it on.

And if course, with the kick ass luck I have, the fucking charger stops working.

Nothing like having to wait two more fucking days to use a fucking product.

Someone help!

I'm looking at replacing my Moto 360 gen 2 because I've given up hope of the gen 3 (even if I know things that I'm not allowed to share) and I'm looking at the ticwatch c2 but can't find any CPU comparisons between the SD 400 and SDW 2100...

I know the 2100 is essentially the 400 on a smaller manufacturing process but still...
