The GS Explorer S-Ti is partly made from titanium
A new and well-equipped smartwatch is supposed to stand out with its materials and very extensive feature set. The wearable is made of titanium, which should result in decent durability.
Some readers may already be familiar with the wearable maker Mibro, which is now offering a new smartwatch called the Mibro GS Explorer S-Ti Premium. This watch retails for $349, while the base model is priced at $249. The cheaper model does not sport the titanium bracelet, although titanium is used in both variants. This material is intended to make the smartwatch durable and probably more resistant to scratches and damage.
The Mibro GS Explorer S-Ti is advertised as an alternative to the Garmin Fenix 8 series and targets users who are looking for a rugged wearable for outdoor usage. The watch has an internal storage for downloading maps for offline navigation even when no smartphone is connected. A dual-frequency GPS module is included, which is intended to provide fast and reliable location data.
As usual, optical sensors can measure heart rate and blood oxygen saturation, and sleep tracking is supported as well. The 1.32-inch AMOLED display has a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels and a peak brightness of up to 1,500 nits, while the typical battery life is listed at 20 days. Diving features are also included. Last but not least, the purported Garmin Fenix 8 competitor can be used for diving to a depth of 98 ft, and it can display data such as the current dive depth.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
