The GS Explorer S is a new smartwatch on offer at an affordable price - at least on paper - for the advertised features. Even diving functions are marketed and the watch is said to have a robust design.

Mibro has just launched three new smartwatches. Two of these have already been covered in separate reports, namely the Mibro GS Pro2 and the Mibro GS Active2. The third new release is the Mibro GS Explorer S, which also has the highest price tag of the three at just under €150.
The watch is advertised as a GPS Outdoor Adventure Watch and aims to impress with a wide range of functions. The watch is not only waterproof up to a supposed test pressure of 10 ATM, but is also said to come with diving functions such as depth tracking, ascent/descent speeds and dive time. MIL-STD-810H certification is also advertised, meaning that it should be able to withstand falls, dust and temperatures between -30 °C and 70 °C.
The 1.32-inch AMOLED display has a specified peak brightness of 1,500 cd/m² bright and a resolution of 466 x 466. Corning Gorilla Glass 3 not only protects the display but also the optical sensors. Heart rate, blood oxygen saturation and sleep quality can be measured. A dual-band GNSS module is used, and a compass and barometer are also installed. Navigation with waypoints is possible, but a map display is not supported. The battery life is given as 20 days under typical use.

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.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
