I've been using smart watches every day for the past 5 years and this one is my 8th watch. I prefer a watch that does more than just give notifications, and I use Android phones, so my preference is Wear OS watches. I have owned a Samsung Galaxy Watch Active, which ran Tyzen OS, but returned it due to poor WiFi performance.
Although most of my watches have had the Snapdragon 2100, two of them did not. The Samsung of course had their own processor, and I own a Fossil Sport with the Snapdragon 3100. What I learned about the SD3100 (the supposedly better processor) is that it's still built on the same architecture as the SD2100, so it's impossible for it to be any faster. The SD3100 is claimed to have better battery life, but in fact it does not. They actually "underclock" the SD3100 to save power, so what you end up with is a watch that just feels sluggish and non-responsive. Oh yeah, and the battery life is NOT better.
With the Ticwatch C2+ you get the SD2100, but you get 1GB of RAM instead of the 512MB RAM in most watches. Having double the RAM size makes a huge difference. This watch is very quick, very responsive, and a pleasure to use. I end my day with 60% battery life and never having to change my lifestyle to save battery life. I get on average 100 notifications a day, use the assistant to set reminders and send messages. While mowing the grass I use Google Fit to track my workout and that uses GPS and constant heart rate monitor for approximately 2 hours. I still end the day with over 50% battery life remaining. I don't use the Mobvoi mobile app, instead I use Wear OS app. I primarily connect to the watch using Bluetooth, but if I walk away from my phone I rely on WiFi connectivity. While working outside I leave my phone inside and through my WiFi I still get notifications and full functionality of the watch.
Hands down, this is the best watch I've owned, and for the price I don't feel it can be beat! For reference, here are the other watches I have owned: Moto 360 V1, Asus Zenwatch 3, Ticwatch E, LG Watch Style, Fossil Explorist Gen 3, Samsung Galaxy Watch Active, Fossil Sport. I can't speak for iOS users, but for Android users this watch is an excellent value and I strongly recommend it.

Great Smart Watch, Not So Great Battery And Great Fitness Tracking
If you're only looking for a smart watch that has NFC, can run apps, grab notifications without lagging, looks nice on your wrist, and you only expect to wear it for a few hours, then this watch is a no-brainer. That 1GB ram makes sure it runs smooth and responsive and the round face is just asthetically better then a square one imo.However, if you are looking for one with descent fitness tracking, then I would look elsewhere. The heart rate monitor is so ridiculously sensitive to outside stimuli, it will bring your 150 bpm reading down to a 75 if you bump it (25m in Pic 2). Forget weight lifting, the resulting bpm chart (Pic 1) looks like an Amplified Minecraft world. Expect many stolen heart points if you use Google Fit.Also, the battery life. Jesus, this watch has a crazy short battery life. Expect it to die in about 8 hours, 4 if you constantly check it, and even lower if you run custom watch faces like Facer. That 2 day metric in the marketing is bs copium. I run a non-animated Facer watch face, and after an hour and a half workout it will go from 100% to 60%-75%

My son was really interested in my original TicWatch, he loved being able to customize things and the speech recognition. So, I've decided to get the new TicWatch C2+ so I could give him the original. The first thing I noticed, after charging, was the speed of the C2+. The 1Gb of RAM and the improved processor has made a noticeable difference in speed and responsiveness. The second thing I notice was Google's Wear OS, I really appreciate the addition of industry standard as the base OS. This addition makes more apps available and initial setup is much improve from the original TicWatch experience.
I was really interested in the activity tracking features and decided to compare the experience between Strava on my phone and the native Tracking features on the watch. We went on a 20 mile bike ride over several hours so I would have plenty of data. The C2+ was the clear winner, because it did exactly what I wanted it gave information during the ride without pulling out phone and trip data with heart rate and calculations was comparable to Strava.
I'm still discovering new apps, and can't settle on a watch face, but so far I'm happy with the C2+ and now me and my son can wear our TicWatches together.
