There is lack of english guide available. I hope I can help the not Mandarin education ticwatch/ ticwear fan to benefit from my sharing. Here you DONT NEED to: Paste files into Window system  Run Command prompt Write ADB coding Install and access FTP Covert Ticwatch to developer mode Ticwatch (http://ticwear.com) Considering i only want the notification on the go and nice watch faces, I have chosen Ticwatch 1st gen (without Apple MFI) = RM800+ include shipment to Malaysia.

Come with metal band Compatible with iOS & Android Android 5 OS overlay with Ticwear OS 3.4 overlay Why this guide has a value? User experience on Android and iOS is very different iOS - limited watch faces & complicated to install new watch faces ( not working most of the time ); App almost non-existence Android - installing new watch faces & app i...

Both e-ink screen spoiled within 6 months duration. Random scratch line which renders the watch not usable.  The shift from pebble app to pebble time app sometime early 2016 really screwed up everything. Every time the app forces me to update and it always ended up a factory reset of the watch and phone setting.  Best part, pebble classic enjoy no new features.
