The interface is buttery smooth, the design is spot on for my taste and the battery lasts 3+ days with moderate to heavy use.
Dual screen FSTN + AMOLED is what every watch should have. All the essential you need, like date and time are there at a glance on the always on FSTN display (uses a lot less power) and the rest of the “heavy stuff” is handled by the gorgeous AMOLED display. The FSTN also lights up when you tilt the watch so there is no need to “wake up” the AMOLED display if you only need to check the time/date in dark environments. You have the option to change the backlight colour (18 to choose from) for the FSTN display. I keep mine on the default white but change it to green sometimes because I find the black text on green background interesting.
It has over 100 different exercise tracking options but only 3 have auto-detect — walking, running and cycling. I enabled auto-detect for walking and running which, I find quite accurate at knowing when I had started and stopped. Did not have a chance to test swimming tracking but I will soon.
Sleep tracking can detect REM, deep sleep, light sleep and awake. You have the option to enable continuous heart rate and SpO2 monitoring. The Pro 3 Ultra also has AFib alert and Tachycardia / Bradycardia alert.
One important thing I love about Tic apps (pulse, SpO2, sleep, exercise…) is the option to check all the logged data straight on the watch in detail.
The performance has been wonderful thanks to the Snapdragon Wear 4100 and 1GB of RAM. I have not had any hiccups or interface stutter regardless of using 3rd party apps or built-in ones. The specs will also help when the watch will receive Wear OS 3.0 later this year. If not having Wear OS 3.0 yet is a deal-breaker for you, it should not. Some of the apps that were only on Wear OS 3.0 have made it to Wear OS 2.0 anyway .
Build quality is another important aspect to mention. The watch looks and feels like the premium watch that it is. The MIL-STD-810G durability standard plus IP68 rating will help it keep that for a long time.
I am struggling to find a fault with this watch and the only thing I would probably change is a stronger vibration motor but that is only to help if you wear your watch not snug enough.
This is not my first Mobvoi watch, and I am absolutely convinced it is not going to be my last.
I decided to upgrade my Ticwatch Pro 3 to the Pro 3 zz `Ultra GPS. One might say that there isn’t much difference between two and why upgrade. Looking into it there is more about the Ultra than you may think.
While they are similar looking the Ultra has small details which in my opinion make it look and feel more premium. The bezel is knurled along with the buttons which add a nice bit of texture. The bezel doesn’t have such big protrusions top and bottom and is more defined as round than the Pro 3 which I prefer.
This design carries over to the strap which is much better than the one on the Pro 3 which lost its surface over time. It also looks more contemporary than the Pro 3 which looks more like a classic strap copy.
The whole thing feels more refined.
One thing that stands out for me is the ability to have different coloured screens in essential mode. It is inevitable that you will use essential mode and having a screen colour to match the watch face you are using just gives a sense of coherence which I like, and it pops more on the wrist.
MIL-STD-810G spec rating is added on The Pro 3 Ultra which means to me that it is more durable than the Pro 3 and that can only be a good thing. Along with a Gorilla glass screen no worries about knocks and bangs!
The Pro 3 Ultra comes with “24 physical and mental status monitoring” under TicHealth which I have yet to have a play with but in this day and age of mental health wellbeing, anything that can give insights is a plus.
TicPulse has been updated to monitor heart health. Have not had any alerts since wearing it but the watch is looking out for you, and I like that!
Battery life is 72 hours as stated in smart mode. I normally charge overnight so this is roughly 2 a week. More than good enough and if I can’t charge there is always essential mode.
Other than what I have mentioned it comes with the usual suite of apps you will find on a Wear OS device plus the excellent “Tic” apps which I prefer to use over the Google Fit apps. They seem easier to use and better tuned to the watch in my opinion.
Ticwatch seem to have struck a nice balance between price, features and fit & finish. All in all, I think it is a worthy upgrade even if on the face if it the changes are minimal.
I bought this Ticwatch as an upgrade from my last Ticwatch – Wanted to stay within the Mobvoi product range due to my experience with previous watches. And I am so glad I didn’t move to another brand.
So, from the beginning. The Ticwatch arrived, nicely packaged and secure. Inside the box I received the TicWatch, USB charger and manual along with a quick start guide. The watch turned up with 89% battery, more than enough to get started!
Powered the watch on and was greeted with the Google WearOS setup page, followed the simple instructions and continued the rest of the setup on my phone. Added my Google Account, Mobvoi App (optional, but increases the usability of the fitness tracking) and for me, the most important part, my Google Pay account.
Went through the settings on the watch and customised to my liking. I ensured that the lift to wake and always on settings were disabled for optimal “smart watch” battery life – And this works perfectly. I have managed to get almost 3 and a half working days out of the watch before it automatically went into “essential mode”. Speaking of essential mode it works flawlessly ensuring the basic functions of a watch are available when the battery is low. The marketing material says that this iteration of Ticwatch will last 45 days in Essential Mode and while I haven’t tried this I do not doubt this at all.
The performance this Ticwatch is something I have never experienced before. No lagging, no slowness no freezing. It’s responsive at a moments notice and that has been greatly improved since my first Ticwatch. Scrolling through the app drawer and the options is just simply pleasant and responsive. The GPS is spot on and worked without issues during a walk out with the family. No drifting experienced.
The fitness tracking is something that I only started becoming interested in over the last few months and I am so glad Mobvoi have spent time developing their own feature set as I am not only able to monitor and track my heart rate 24/7, but also track my own mental fatigue and energy levels. Something which really stands out in my face paced job. There is a way to link the proproaty apps with Google’s version of Apps too, but I do prefer TicHealth and TicPulse. Google Pay and offline Spotify have been perfect too. The ability to be able to leave home to pop to the shops with nothing other than my watch is amazing. First transaction failed but the TicWatch asked me to confirm my watch= PIN (security feature, makes sense) but then has worked seamlessly since and being an avid music fan having Spotify available on my wrist without any effort has been epic. Simple things like answering calls on my Ticwatch have been
The only one downfall, literally, the only ONE is that I would have like to have purchased the Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra 4G version however it’s tied to Vodafone OneNumber and my preferred network is EE. If there were more options available on that side I would have upgraded to the 4G version without doubt.
Overall, the best Smartwatch I have ever purchased. I do wonder how Mobvoi will bring a new model out as this watch genuinely ticks all the boxes I have ever needed.
[Review Caveat: I have not rated sleep tracking as I do not sleep with the watch on.]

I have been a fan of wearable computing since my first smartwatch purchase 8 years ago. Surfacing information and interaction from a mobile phone without needing to draw it is incredibly useful in a busy life. My previous watch was the Ticwatch Pro and the new refresh of the Ticwatch 3 Pro exceeded my expectations in every way.
The standout feature of the Ticwatch line is the secondary screen. The primary 1.4″ 455×455 AMOLED turns off and a more energy efficient LCD display comes online to show time, date and step count and battery level while reducing power consumption. This is what allows it to boast its impressive 45 day battery life. When you aren’t actively using it, or just want to quickly check the time, the watch is draining minimal charge on its low power screen. The Ticwatch 3’s Snapdragon processor has a great deal of processing power so the watch is incredibly responsive. It spins up to the full power screen at a touch and all of the menus are snappy and fluid to navigate (as demonstrated in videos featured in other reviews on this page). The Ultra model does not support its own 4G connection and requires a blutooth link to a smartphone for handling telephony, though it can connect to WiFi networks.
Contrasting the watch against its predecessor reveals a great number of improvements, the reduced bevel size makes the watch feel less bulky when worn under a shirt cuff. The secondary screen has been greatly enhanced allowing the date to be presented in US or UK format. My personal favourite feature is the full colour backlight allowing the low power screen to be clearly visible even in broad daylight, something which the original Ticwatch struggled with.
The Android Wear feature set is broad and covers a wide range of vital interactions, voice assistant, calendar, timing, etc. These core functions are enhanced by Mobvoi’s suite of TicHealth applications which make great use of the biometric sensors built into the watch. Heartrate, blood oxygen, physical movement and barometer are all sampled to allow the watch to review and offer critique of your workout on the wrist. These sensors are all gated by privacy settings and can be turned off at will if one does not wish to be monitored at all times.
At present the watch runs Wear2.0 while 3.0 is exclusively distributed to another manufacturer, but in time the upgrade will be issued for the Ticwatch and I am confident that the powerhouse Snapdragon will be able to handle the increased functionality.
I have been using the watch since its delivery and the power claim is holding true, it will need its first full recharge tonight having provided 3 days of me using it excessively while experimenting with all its features. I am confident that it will manage a full workweek once I calm down and stop fidgeting with it every few seconds.
In conclusion, the Ticwatch 3 is a powerful and featureful portable terminal with fantastic uptime and a well supported software ecosystem. I do not have the luxury of comparing it against competitors but I have no regrets with my purchase at all and have reaffirmed my conviction that Mobvoi are my first brand to check when looking for my next watch.
Snappy, smooth functioning smartwatch with great battery life. Extremely happy with my purchase.
I have had a Huawei watch 2 since it’s release and always liked the watch but the laggy functionality and limited battery life limited the enjoyment.
This watch resolves both of those issues and the bigger screen is also much easier to use with less precision required on some of the more cluttered apps. There is a calculator app that I thought would be unusable on a watch but it is easy to use accurately (basic functions only). The watch is also more comfortable to wear despite being bigger and heavier. The strap is reasonably soft and if you are worried about the monitors protruding from the back (I was concerned coming from a smooth back), it is not noticeable and I find the strap can be less tight to get a good reading so actually improves comfort.
Use case. I am an active sports person so I do use HR and GPS tracking regularly. I already own a dedicated sports watch and I had considered replacing that rather than buying the Ticwatch. However, I also use wear OS shopping apps and other day to day apps just as frequently that the sport watches don’t cater for as well. I decided the Ticwatch was the best of both worlds. It has not disappointed.
A 3 hour mountain bike ride with HR and GPS on and even after a full days usage, I went to bed with 70% battery remaining. I could easily do a full day ride with this battery.
The second screen (essentials mode) works great and shows the necessary data when active. HR, time elapsed, pace and a scrolling height and calories measure. My activities are set to auto sync to Strava. I have turned off auto detect activities though as it is very generous on what it considers a run.
Note that the second screen does impact the functionality of some apps that display over other apps. E.g. I use a shopping list app that sits on the top screen on my Huawei so you don’t need to keep reopening it each time you check your list. The essential screen does take precedence on this watch although a simple tap wakes it up to show the app again.
HR accuracy seems good enough. I haven’t done extensive comparison tests to a chest strap but I have been training with HR for years and the readings are where I would expect them to be for given effort across easy, tempo and hard efforts. Background tracking is giving higher readings than expected but I have not had the strap tight enough. Not an issue for me as I only have continuous tracking turned on for novelty but if I were interested, I would need the strap snug at all times.
I like wear OS but was reticent to re-invest until Samsung and Google teamed up to breathe new life into the platform. This watch is still on wear OS 2 and the update to 3 seems to be getting delayed but this watch is due to get the update. I am perfectly happy with OS 2 but it was important to get a watch that will update to 3 as app support for Wear OS 2 is dying. To be honest, the wear platform is my biggest concern with this purchase. It works well but Google have blown hot and cold with investment and support.
I use the watch with an iPhone. Everything works apart from the inability to send texts or take calls on the watch as apple lock that out.
I paid 245 with a voucher code and consider this a great buy.
Great little watch. Does what it says.
Reason why i have given this 4 stars is that the app is not great. Very clunky. I have come from the Fitbit Eco System so maybe i am expecting too much but will give it time.
I am also confused about the essential mode. I use it alot as im no good at making sure the battery is topped up. However, when i am in Essential Mode and i charge the battery up it seems to reboot and goes back to normal mode. This is even when i put the watch in to essential mode myself rather than have it switch when the battery level drops.
Still waiting for Wear OS 3 which was why i got this over the other 2 Wear OS 3 watches on the market. The Wear OS 3 update was supposed to happen in the early part of the year so i would have expected it by now.
All in all a great watch,, collects alot of data and then the software doesnt know what to do with it.
I had the ticwatch Pro 3 upgraded to the new model.. what another fantastic watch by mobvoi battery is super especially for a wear os last up to 3 4 days depending on usage.. other models only last up to 24 hours max… had all the fitness/health apps you could ask for very accurate and recordings giving on watch and there apps for greater detail… you can also go swimming and record which is great… the dual screen comes in handy which saves on battery consumption.. highly recommended
Bought for my partner who spent an age researching what he wanted. He’s always that way. So rest assured this is the bees knees.
He’s so pleased with it. I on the other hand couldn’t give a monkeys. It’s not attractive and it’s chunky.
I have been using Ticwatches now since 2018. What got me using Ticwatches is their incredible battery life which keeps getting better.
I started off with the Ticwatch Pro then the Ticwatch Pro 4G/LTE, Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS, Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS ( you can see a picture of the last 3).
So why do I keep using them, I will go by my experience and I am not going to get into tech details as you can get that information from the product description.
Pros:
Battery life: Gives me up 3 – 3.5 days . I actually got 4 days when I scheduled the Auto switch to essential mode between 9 pm and 6 am. That did mean that I couldn’t track my sleep.
Look and feel: this model feels a lot more premium than the earlier models, it’s definitely thinner and feels lighter and more comfortable on my wrist. It’s very smooth scrolling through the apps compared to the much earlier Ticwatch Pro. The AMOLED screen is very bright, and setting it to auto-adjust also saves on battery. I like how the strap fits around my wrist, it also doesn’t flap about
Durability: The Screen is tougher than the previous model ( managed to scratch that one in the first month I got it) This one has already taken a few knocks and has not been scratched yet.
It is also waterproof, unlike the previous model.
Cons,
I would’ve preferred the watch casing to be metal, but it still looks great though.
Would’ve liked a rotating bezel or at least give the buttons scrolling functionality when they are turned.
On the whole, it’s a great watch and I will probably keep buying the new versions as they continuously improve
Inuave tried many smart watches over the years and this is without doubt the best, just waiting for OS3 to arrive to update i
I have a fossil Carlyle wear OS watch but got the Ticwatch 3 as I wanted good battery life and this watch is amazing in comparison.
I can easily go three days without charging it even with 24 heart monitoring, Bluetooth nfc and WiFi on, it makes using a wear os watch fun again as you can use all the features without worrying that your watch will need a recharge daily.
Sometimes the heart rate says a low rate like 52 when walking but very rarely and it could be that the watch moved slightly during while it was taking the reading.
NFC for Google pay is okay, seems to be weaker than on my other smart watch but it does always work although some shops contactless readers sometimes require two tries to succeed.
The power saving watch screen is actually so handy I don’t use the watch face in always on mood. The light on the second screen makes it easy to read and the main screen is clear and easy to read as well, the only niggle is that the spO2 reader is very temperamental, takes a lot of tries. And yet if you have 24 hour health monitoring on instead of heart monitoring then the blood oxygen reader seems to work much better so maybe there’s a bug in the software or they affect each other.
The mobvoi app let’s you share your data with google fit so it can see your heart rate records, the mobvoi android app shows the same data but not as effectively as using google fit where you can see the heart rate records as a series of points on a scale and also choose to see the results sorted by time and so see exactly what time a recorded heart rate was actually recorded at.
Overall a very good watch, and the best wear os watch I have seen or at least that I have used.
This is the 3rd wear is watch I’ve tried. The Samsung GW4 wasn’t fully compatible with my pixel 6 phone & the battery life wasn’t great, so sent it back. A friend has the fossil Gen 6 & he despairs at the awful battery life. So I tried this. 3 days is no problem & the pairing was easy. Everything is compatible with my pixel & the software works perfectly. I’ve heard people complain about wear OS 2, but it works very well & does everything you want it to. I have no complaints. It’s a great watch!
Note:
I’m making this review in 2 perspectives: the watch itself and my experience with it and, at the bottom, a vs with Ticwatch Pro (1st gen).
In the images, the Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra is the one with the leather strap and the smaller charger cable.
The other watch, and respective cable, is the 1st gen and is here for reference and comparison.
—–
The Ticwatch 3 Pro Ultra is really comfortable to use, being very lightweight, with a very smooth experience with the screen and software and being seemingly sturdy enough for day-to-day, making it a pleasure to use with all the functionalities it brings.
The strap it brings seems to be silicone based with a “cover” of leather on top, as visible in the photos.
The battery lasts a few days, in my experience around 3-4, before I feel the urge to recharge it.
For consideration, the main features I use are the heart monitor being turned on and occasional usage of the NFC for payments.
Pros:
* Very lightweight.
* Very smooth usage / experience.
* Heart monitor seems to be working well, even against other heart rate devices.
** I still wouldn’t use as a de-facto monitor but just as a guide.
* The sleep tracking seemed fairly accurate, at the very least in the amount of hours of sleep detected.
* Battery lasts a few days at the very least.
Cons:
* Body of the watch is plastic (or seems to be at least).
—–
Now, when put against the Ticwatch Pro (1st gen) there are a few notes I’d like to make.
Regarding the screens, albeit being of very proximate dimensions or even the same size, the Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra provides a better and overall smoother experience to interact with, but I can’t explain exactly why, it just feels nicer to me for some reason.
Software wise, it also seems to be faster and smoother, most likely due to the newer processor.
Also worth mentioning, this newer model brings **backlight** to the stand-by and essential mode, with the colour being customisable, something that I found to be a big caveat in the first model.
Battery wise both behave pretty well though I believe the 3 Ultra is behaving better on that sense.
On the cons side, the Ticwatch Pro (1st gen) has a seemingly sturdier and heavier body, something that might to be to the liking of some users.
Pros (vs 1st gen):
* Smoother experience (touchscreen and software).
* Backlight on stand-by and essential mode.
* The charger cable uses less space.
Cons (vs 1st gen):
* Body of the 3 Ultra is made of plastic and more lightweight (this might be a pro depending on the user).
Out of the blue I saw something in a pop up about this watch and liked the look of it. Having used it for over a month now I’m happy I switched from being solely an Apple Watch user.
It has a bit about it. I’m loving it.
Love this watch battery life is superb only need to charge every 3 to 4 days
Really happy with my purchase of this watch.
The battery life is excellent. Lasts me 2 full days without charge, with moderate use and heart rate monitoring turned on.
I haven’t experienced any stuttering or jittering when moving between screens on the watch or opening apps. The fancy processor must be doing its job because it’s by far the smoothest experience I’ve had of any smartwatch.
The screen is very high quality. Everything looks sharp
The design of the watch body itself is very nice. Looks like a professional watch with a nice leather strap. It’s very comfortable and you’ll easily forget that it’s on after a while because it doesn’t feel too heavy.
Sleep tracking seems pretty good although I’ve only used this feature a handful of times.
If anyone reading this has lots of smart lights or smart devices in their house, just being able to hold down one of the buttons on the watch to activate Google Assitant makes life very easy.
Would recommend this watch to anyone 10/10
Very pleased with this watch.
The battery easily last for two days with screen selected to always on, this included my regularly gym work outs.
When ‘always on’ is deselected it lasts for several days.
When the screen is off it uses the low power screen, which looks like a smart digital watch.
The watch uses android Wear, which is very intuitive, I have bought this to replace my Samsung galaxy watch, I find it easier to use.
Good selection of watch faces are included, more can be download.
The watch face looks as good as any other I have seen, it makes my old Samsung look dated.
The Black bezel is very smart.
It came with a brown leather strap, which looks good with a shirt, I have bought a black rubber strap, which gives it a sports watch look, which I prefer for day to day wear.
The screen is very reactive, to touch and swipe commands.
Overall I am really eased with this watch, it feels and looks smart.
I have no problem in recommending this watch.
Positives I’ve found:
+ The leather style strap looks stylish and feels premium. I think it will last a long time and be a good investment.
+ Adequate adjustment on the strap.
+ Light enough on the wrist but enough to feel well made.
+ Metal body is really nice.
+ It has passed durability and waterproof standards.
+ Would look stylish wearing for any occasion.
+ Twisting buttons feel good and are tactile.
+ Google Wear OS makes setup very easy.
+ Works with Android or iOS phones.
+ Encountered no software bugs or issues.
+ More watch face display customisation than Apple Watch.
+ Low power AMOLED always on display works very well at conserving battery.
+ I could wear in bed for sleep tracking without worrying about battery life for days.
+ Battery life is excellent. It will differ for everyone but for most it will last many days. Wow!
+ Embedded microphone for recording.
+ Quick launch programmed app by pressing the lower button.
+ I’ve had no connection issues to Wi-Fi or 4G.
+ Notifications are reliable and very fast.
+ Snapdragon processor is one of the latest and greatest. I’ve had no issues with speed.
+ GPS was as accurate as my iPhone.
+ Access to all the brilliant Google apps designed for Wear OS.
+ Ticwatch’s own apps are good on the whole, you may prefer some of these over Google ones and for others, you may prefer Google.
Areas for improvement:
– Strap may not be ideal enough for heavy sport activity, but you may be able to use a different strap.
– If you’re looking for a small watch this probably isn’t for you.
– Rotating the watch crown doesn’t do anything, perhaps a missed opportunity here.
– You will have to wait a bit longer for Wear OS 3 update.
I don’t review on Amazon very often. I buy loads of stuff from Amazon and haven’t got the time to review the hundred or so things I purchase a year… but now and again I make an exception.
The last review I made was for the Ticwatch Pro in November 2019 and here we are 2 years and 2 months later and I’ve upgraded to the Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra 4G/LTE.
As I was so impressed with my original Ticwatch I opted for the upgrade against the “supposed” better (& more expensive) options from more well known brands.
I have been wearing this new watch for a week now and it is just amazing. Its so comfortable that you don’t even realise your wearing it. In comparison, the 2019 Pro was a bit chunky to wear.
The battery lasts for 2-3 days constant use compared to 1-2 days with the Pro.
The new screens and apps are alot more varied and very useful.
I also love the fact that I can use the watch independent from my phone. I’m a Vodafone customer and the watch allows you to piggyback onto your mobile contract. It makes you feel a bit like James Bond, using your watch to make and receive calls.
Overall, this watch is everything you could want in a watch and then you have the additional features which make this watch special.
If you want to spend more money on the “named brand” watch then more fool you.
The Ticwatch Pro 3 is a great looking android wear smartwatch. I’ve included some pictures of when I first set it up, which was very straightforward.
The watch is very well built with a lovely leather band. It feels good on the wrist and is very comfortable. It has a number of standout features but the two that really appeal to me are:
Battery Life — begone battery anxiety! The battery on this watch has given me nearly 3 days before it needed charging. It also gives up to 45 days when using essential mode, which I haven’t tried as I’m too busy playing with it. This is a marked change on my previous smartwatch that barely gets over a day and that’s with turning off its monitoring features (which I had bought it for — Catch 22 or what?).
With the Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra I don’t have these daily battery worries any more.
Screen — The AMOLED screen is excellent but this watch has a trick in that it also has a second LCD screen. Instead of your watch going to a black screen to save power, like other smartwatches, this watch activates the LCD screen which stays on and provides time, steps, battery life, and heartrate. It also has a backlight function to help when it’s darker.
It also has all the benefits of Wear OS and is compatible with all the apps including whatsapp, google pay, and google fit. Plus it has google assistant which is a brilliant function with the builtin microphone and speaker.
Also it’s soon getting the new Wear OS 3 update which will only improve it further.
Performance wise I found that it had zero lag and menus and apps were quick and fluid to use.
Overall one of the best Wear OS watches. With regard to battery life it has no competition.
I’ve previously owned a few smartwatches/fitness trackers and my last watch (the 1st edition Ticwatch Pro 3) was the best watch I had owned by far. Until now.
Mobvoi have just taken that watch and made it better, quite simple. The battery life is extended to the point where I forget I need to charge it up! Annoyingly due to my mobile contract I haven’t been able to use the 4G aspect of it but everything else connects fine and the watch is super fast.
The ability to change the blacklight colour on the always on display is a great touch. The white on the previous watch was nice enough but the new colours really make the watch glow in the dark when it’s needed and they look great.
The additional health/fitness aspects of the watch seem to work really well. I use a Garmin Fenix 6 for my activities but it’s good to see my steps/HR/stress etc on the ticwatch when I’m not exercising.
Overall its definitely the best watch on the market if you aren’t an apple user… and maybe even better than those.
This is the 3rd TicWatch I have owned, and with each new edition they improve.
The packing felt premium, much like the product and taking it out of the box the watch was surprisingly light. Initially I thought the battery had to be put on separately due to the weight.
I’ve , enclosed some photos. The watch with the brown strap is this new edition and the black strap is the older edition. They are similar in size, but the new watch is noticeably thinner. Despite this the performance is enhanced and there is nothing lost from the watch.
I’ve used the watch at the Gym, and the tracking is good, I liked the breakdown of the warm up, fat burning times it gives you. This will be helpful in tracking your workouts.
Battery life – One of the biggest frustrations of the first tic watch for me was the need to put on charge every night. I used this all weekend and still had 65% battery at the end of two days with me being away and using the maps function. This is vast improvement on the first version of the pro I had.
The strap this comes with does look a little more formal, I will wear this for work. I’m not sure how well the brown goes with the Black but overall I’m pleased with how it looks. The strap is a little Rigid, however I feel like the previous watch this will soften. In any event the straps can be changed so if this is not to personal taste then this can change.
The watch charger – this is a small point, but a fairly important one. When I upgraded from my 1st TicWatch to my 2nd. The change in charger was frustrating because i’d purchased chargers for different rooms (i.e. work and home) so when I had the new watch it meant I had to get additional chargers. As I intend to keep my current watch and have 2 watches, I was very grateful to see the same charger design maintained. Lots of cables around can be frustrating so I’m glad they’ve maintained consistency.
Android Pay – works flawlessly
Whataspp / SMS – Come through and easy to view from wrist
Blood Oxygen – This is an interesting add on- checking mine as ‘normal’ is always good to see.
Heart rate monitor – useful for not only workouts but more generally to track health.
Sleep monitor – I havent used this so cannot comment. I cant sleep with a watch on, so this is not a function i’d use.
Vodaphone One number: I’m sure this is outside the control of TicWatch – but this seemed like it would be a great add on with the virtual sim. I was expecting vodaphone’s one number to operate like my Amazon Echo. however there is a fee of 7.50 a month added on. ‘For the few times I’ll be without my mobile i decided not to add this. It would be good if an agreement to have this lower priced or free like the Amzon echo could be achieved.
Overall, an excellent smart watch which i’m very impressed with and is 100% an improvement on previous versions.
Upon opening the box you’re greeted with a big screen with a very slim bezel and attractive metal surround. The Pro 3 Ultra GPS is a surprisingly slim smartwatch given its overall large size and despite this is still very light to wear, though still might be a bit difficult to wear with a formal shirt.
Design:
At almost 48mm in diameter, wow is this a big watch, however, the overall slim body does make the Pro 3 wearable even for people with medium to small wrists, though it might look a bit funny, to begin with. The Pro 3 has a great look thanks to the textured bezel and pushers that really add a subtle flair to the overall design and when you take it out from the box and hold it for the first time you will be very impressed with the build quality. The whole package just feels great in hand, especially the silicone band which is soft to touch, contours around my hand and doesn’t gather dust like other watch bands.
Display:
The product images on amazon showcase the large screen really are presentative of the real product. Wow, the 1.4″ screen looks big, but at the same time, it blends really well inside of the textured stainless bezel. In my opinion, this might be the sweet spot size for an Android Wear OS device. Navigating through the interface and reading notifications on this screen just looks so good and the Gorilla glass that protects the is smooth to touch and so far from my usage, it has been scratch-free.
Compare to the TicWatch E3, the Pro 3 Ultra GPS screen does not feel cramped in any way and given that it’s an AMOLED screen, your eyes get to enjoy nice punchy colours and deep blacks and if Mobvoi were able to match the screen panel colour to the thin bezel between the screen and metal surround it would have been the most seamless screen design yet, easily rivalling the Apple Watch screen design.
The Pro 3 Ultra GPS isn’t just using an AMOLED, it also has a neat low energy secondary display that is reminiscent of a basic digital watch, like a classic Casio for example. When the main display turns off, you’re always left with a screen to see what illuminates when you tilt the watchmaking legibility clear even in dark environments. Even though the secondary display might be more basic in comparison to the AMOLED, it still provides all the vital information you need which consists of the time, simplified date, step count and battery life. I do wish more Android smartwatches had this feature.
Battery Life:
Mobvoi claims that the Pro 3 Ultra GPS can get 72 hours of battery life on a single charge and from my experience, their claims have been true in my use and sometimes even better, with my best runtime almost being roughly 96 hours. In addition to this great battery life when the watch is being used in its full-featured mode, even if you end up in a situation where the battery is so low, the basic mode will kick in and you will at least still have a usable watch for basic timekeeping. Unlike most smartwatches which will turn off and you’re left with a dead weight on your wrist.
Once you’re home and you’re ready to get the watch charging, you’ll be up and running for a full day of use in as little as 30 minutes, great if you’re coming home to freshen up for an evening gym session or social outing.
Just like the TicWatch E3 and most of Mobvoi’s other smartwatches, the Pro 3 Ultra GPS also uses a 4-prong magnetic connector which is fairly strong and accurate to connect to, and despite the watch having fast charging I’ve never seen it heat up.
Performance:
The Pro 3 Ultra GPS uses the same internal specifications as the lower cost TicWatch E3 and as such I’ve had a smooth experience when navigating the UI, transitioning between apps, making NFC payments and using the endless fitness modes the watch has to offer. Using Google maps on the Pro 3 Ultra GPS has been a great experience and a real-life saver when navigating public transport and commuting through London.
I’ve had many updates pushed to the watch during my 1 month of extensive use and have not experienced any issues in performance or battery life. Downloading apps from the play store are also very fast whether it be through the phone or directly using Wi-Fi.
Tracking:
The Pro 3 Ultra GPS has a lot of different sensors and I’ve not even touched the surface on everything this device has to offer however my experiences with the auto sleep detect have been great and the results have been comparable to what I’ve seen from my other sleep tracking devices. The auto exercise detection is a nice feature and I would say 60% of the time it’s been able to tell I’m actually exercising. During my times at the office when I’m moving between floors, it has misread my random bursts of speed walking as me starting an exercise, but it does realise and stops the exercise mode.
App:
The Mobvoi companion app has a great UI and is very easy to navigate and visualise all the data that the Pro 3 Ultra GPS is able to collect. I’ve not had any issues with the watch sending the data to the app.
The physical and mental status monitoring is a great touch and very insightful, and given the current state of the world, keeping on top of your mental fitness is something you shouldn’t ignore.
Final Thoughts:
The Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS is a long title for a smartwatch that’s for sure and when compared to the TicWatch E3 It has a long spec list to match the name. The intuitive dual display the big and bright AMOLED screen, built-in GPS and even the option for eSIM LTE. I would say this is one of the best smartwatch offerings in the Android space that gives the Apple Watch a run for its money.
The Pro 3 Ultra GPS might be larger than the E3, but don’t let that put you off because it’s much slimmer and wears much better, not to mention feels a lot better on the wrist thanks to that thicker soft silicone strap and better materials on the case.
If you haven’t used a WearOS smartwatch for a while and are still on the edge about them from your previous experiences I feel like the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS, could be one that gets you liking them again and with the promised upgrade to the next major release of WearOS at least you know your smartwatch investment won’t be considered out of date within the next 6 months of ownership.
First Impressions:
Upon opening the box you’re greeted with a big screen with a very slim bezel and attractive metal surround. The Pro 3 Ultra GPS is a surprisingly slim smartwatch given its overall large size and despite this is still very light to wear, though still might be a bit difficult to wear with a formal shirt.

So, I’ve had the excellent Mobvoi watches before and wanted to see how good the latest is:
I won’t bore you with the unboxing apart from the fact that its well packaged and comes with a useful quick start guide, though I only ever look at these if I’m stuck, part of the fun for me is seeing if I can get it up and running without using the instructions. One observation though, it’s got a brown strap which at first sight I thought Hmmm but the quality of the strap appears to be really good with a nice black rubber finish on the inside.
Rather than waiting for it to charge I turned it on, long press of the top button on the right. Set up was pretty straight forward, as was linking it to my google account, and the stock watch face, as per the one on the box, is pretty good, I love faces with the seconds hand, just feels more like the real thing. The secondary, on all the time display, is great and does the job for checking the time without wasting battery. The watch is really slick and responsive and flicks through the different screens really smoothly. The Google tutorial gives you all the basics really easily.
One of my main reasons for buying the watch was for the health and in particular the heart rate monitoring. I hit 60 last year and have had a couple of issues with an irregular heartrate so having the watch continually monitor my rate throughout the day and dight is a great feature for me. And the watch doesn’t disappoint and gives great readings on both the watch and phone display. The TicPulse does a pretty good job of this and I’ve linked it to my Google Fit app which all works seamlessly.
So far, I’m really pleased with my purchase and looking forward to adding apps and having a play which the Google Wear OS allows you to do. Also looking forward to the new version of Google OS which is supposed to be coming to this watch in a couple of months or so.
I’m also going to try out the stand along phone call option with an eSIM. As I understand it this is only through Vodafone so I’m looking into the switching from my Current GiffGaff pay monthly sim only to a Vodafone pay monthly sim only with dual number option which, as I understand it, means only the one number on both my phone and watch. I’ll update this review with how I get on setting it up.
Having owned the original Ticwatch Pro for 2 years I have now upgraded to the latest Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra 4G/LTE. I have used the previous watch daily and was amazed by how well it worked. The latest model brings through all the previous great aspects of the watch and improves on other features.
The Ticwatch Pro 3 really excels above its competitors with regard to battery life, much like phones it has become the norm to expect to charge the device daily, but these watches will last several days on one charge with normal usage. In the essential mode the watch will last weeks on one charge.
I use the GPS in standalone mode when go out for a run, so I can leave my bulking phone at home or work and go out for a quick run. The built in sensors track pace, cadence, heart rate. This is an ideal watch to use to track your running.
One thing that has improved significantly from the previous version is how well the watch feels on my wrist. The combination of it being slightly lighter, thinner, and some bevelled edges makes it the most comfortable smartwatch I’ve ever tried on.
The watch strap feels very comfortable, it has a classy leather top combined with a comfortable silicone base to make it really usable as an everyday watch that looks good smart in the office but practical for exercise too. The strap is a quick change 22mm strap, so you can quickly change the look of the watch to match your style.
Another thing that has improved significantly is the fluidity of the menus, my previous watch did suffer from being a bit laggy when scrolling through menus and starting apps, but this watch is way better much quicker response to touch and opening apps.
Overall I’m very happy with the watch, I think it’s a great choice for people considering a flagship Android wear watch that has great battery life, premium look and feel. As a previous Ticwatch owner I can testify that the reliability and build quality is excellent.
Had many smart watches over the years and this one is one of the best I’ve had . Love wear os and love it more on this watch. Battery life is brilliant and can last me at least 2 busy days no worries.
After a few weeks with this watch I am very happy indeed. The functionality from fitness apps, sleep tracking, heart rate monitoring and sleep monitoring perform well with a good user interface.
The 4100 processor makes the interaction seamless and the dual LCD display that provides information on steps and a summary of ongoing fitness activity when running the Mobvoi apps is a very useful innovation. For those familiar with Wear OS from previous generations this watch offers a performance upgrade and clearly some future proofing with OS Wear 3 due to be rolled out in 2022.
There’s me thinking that Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS couldn’t be beaten but I have now found it with the Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS Ultra. There are only slight tweaks to the original 3 GPS but this has increased the battery, performance, health tracking, customisation & a compass.
Design
Great design, elegant enough for formal wear & casual enough for the gym.
Performance
Very smooth scrolling with flagship interactions. The Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS Ultra sports a modified Snapdragon 4100 processor which makes the smartwatch very snappy.
Battery
Great battery allowing proper sleep tracking with all day use for at least 3 days with all sensors switched on. The low powered secondary mode (Essential mode) has addition customisations where you can change the colour to suite your mood & includes a backlight.
The other good thing about having this watch is it should be inline for a software upgrade from Wear OS 2 to Wear OS 3.
Extended Features includes:
24 hour heart tracking.
Physical & Mental status tracking.
Sleep tracking.
Blood oxygen tracking.
NFC for Google Pay.
Waterproof for Swimming pools.
Compass built-in
Mic & speaker to allow voice calls or Google Assistant.
Essential mode which puts the watch into an extra low powered state allowing sleep tracking, step counting & time for multiple days (I think 45 days is quoted, I’ve used it for 7 days from 100% & still ended up with 85%).
Essential mode can also be timed which I use between 00:45 & 07:00 leaving me to charge the Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS Ultra twice a week.
The only negative I have found is the name of the device is a bit too long but the price makes up for this.
So I had the TicWatch 2 which I loved but got the TicWatch 3 after I damaged the TicWatch 2 (my fault). After a month of use I have found that the TicWatch 3 has improved over the TicWatch 2 in every way possible.
I like to wear a wrist watch all the time as I have to keep track of the time while I’m working and I prefer to see the time without having to take my phone out of my pocket or talking to an assistant.
I use the TicWatch 3 mainly in the essential mode as I can see the time but don’t have to worry about the battery dieing, I’m sure the battery will last easily over a month, and the back light in essential mode is awesome as it means I can use it in the dark. And the ability to choose the back light colour is an added bonus.
The other main thing I like about this watch is that it is so much faster to go boot up into normal mode. The smart watch boots up and ready to use within 30 seconds, that means that if I want to use all the function of the watch I only have to wait a few seconds, and then when I’m done I just put it back into essential mode. My TicWatch 2 was a bit slower in this department.
Other things I like about the watch. The extra bio sensors are really good and seems really accurate. The strap is much more comfortable, I changed the strap on my TicWatch 2 to a after market ceramic strap but I have decided to stay with the original for this one.
Prior to buying this watch I have owned a Tic watch S2 for the past 2 years. I have always been impressed by the reliability of the watch and ease of use so when it was time to upgrade I immediately looked at Tic Watch products.
The watch arrives in a nice size box with simple instructions in the form of a quick start guide and a neat magnetic USB charger which attaches to the underside of the watch.
The watch itself arrives with a comfortable brown leather look strap which gives it a distinctive classic appearance. The strap is a standard size and can be easily changed if you don’t like the colour.
The watch feels solid and well made with its gorilla glass screen. There are two large function buttons on the right hand side of the watch which add to the classic design and make the watch simple to operate.
The biggest difference I found from my S2 watch is the bigger watch face making interactions much easier. Despite the watch being larger than I’m used to it doesn’t feel much heavier so still sits comfortably on my wrist.
The watch display is particularly impressive with a low light “always on” display giving basic information such as time, date and step count. This mode is often all that is needed and obviously assists with battery life. However if you need more detail or need to interact with apps a touch of the screen activates full colour mode which is sharp and vibrant.
There are plenty of watch faces available for the phone through the Mobvoi app or google play store. Apps themselves are simple to download from play store and the phone arrives with a number of really useful Tic health apps already pre installed which are all simple to operate. Navigation around the watch is simple with a very responsive touchscreen and no noticeable lag due to its impressive processor.
I have used the phone to take and receive calls and found the microphone and speaker quality to be clear and reliable.
Battery life on the watch is one of its stand out features lasting 3 days at a time between charges with moderate use of apps including health apps which monitor heart rate 24/7. I believe in essential mode, with all apps turned off, the watch can last up to 45 days!!
I would highly recommend this watch based on build quality, ease of use and excellent battery life, I am delighted with this upgrade.
I bought this off the back of owning the TicWatch S2 & the TicWatch Pro 2020. These days the older S2 isn’t quite up to my needs as a “Fitness” watch (the battery doesn’t last for 5 hour long mountain biking sessions when using the fitness features), so I wanted to swap my 2020 into my “Fitness” watch, the Pro 3 GPS (Bluetooth) seemed like the logical choice for my “good watch” :).
There are far more comprehensive reviews on here already so I’ll keep mine short by comparison.
General Thoughts – This watch is awesome, it’s fast, it’s responsive, it’s everything you could possibly want from a Smart Watch. The battery life is really impressive, the FSTN screen with a backlight is a stroke of genius (more below) and it’s clearly built to last. When I bought this I also bought some tempered glass screen protectors (these ones: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08LPS2H5Y 7.88 for peace of mind was a no-brainer) as I hate the idea of scratching or damaging the watchface itself, the pictures I’ve posted (other than the unboxing ones) are all with the screen protector on, you can’t really notice it at all and the watch still works perfectly.
Pros –
– The FSTN screen – The LCD screen on the previous “Pro” TicWatches was brilliant for battery life, but the FSTN screen takes this to the next level. I’ve turned off “tilt-to-wake” entirely, 90% of the time I look at my watch it’s for the time and now it has a backlight I can get this at a glance without any impact on battery life.
– The battery life – This is probably massively helped by the screen, but it EASILY lasts 2 days (48 hours), with all of the bells and whistles turned on, I’m talking 24 hour heart & SP02 tracking, Stress tracking, Sleep as Android. Without that it would probably last 3 days but that isn’t my use-case.
– The build is really nice, it’s lighter than the Pro 2020 that I have, but still feels just as robust, which is probably really nice if you’re looking to use this as a fitness watch
– The OS/Apps – Whilst the watch is running WearOS, there are obviously a load of TicWatch apps on there, all of them serve a good purpose and integrate with other services e.g. Google, so if you want a heavily ‘Googley’ experience you can still get it, but by using the TicWatch apps you get them in a way that’s more optimised for the watch e.g. heart rate tracking, exercise sync-ing etc. (it even syncs to Strava for people that like that stuff).
– Interchangeability – This seems like a really small/pointless thing, but it’s something I appreciate. I have a load of 3rd party (and TicWatch) watch straps from my other watches (S2 & Pro 2020) and they all fit this watch too, it means I can easily pick and choose what straps are on what.
Cons –
– I really wish I could find something I didn’t like, but any minor niggles that I have are WearOS specific rather than related to this watch e.g. I’d love to have more than 5 tiles, I’d love for there to be more data-driven/interactive watch faces for google fit, none of these are Mobvoi’s problem and certainly not an issue with the watch.
– The only ‘bad’ thing about this watch is that it’s made me realise how slow/clunky my S2 is, again, not a fault of this watch, more of a complement of how excellent this watch is!
Overall, if you’re looking for a comprehensive smart watch without breaking the bank this is the answer, it’s got everything you need for not just for now, but its equipped with all the tech for the next generation of WearOS which is coming to TicWatch later in 2022.

I got the new Tic Watch Pro 3 Ultra 4g and it is amazing. I will start with the battery life because the smartwatch industry is struggling in this chapter. Give it a look boys and girls and see my final conclusions and why I think this is a good investment.
Battery:
From 100% to 20% after the 1st charge lasted 48 hours. The other 20% went away in almost 10 hours. The essential mode will boost your watch life a few days with 20% but I kept it on smart mode to see how much it last. With each charge, the battery life will last more up to a point where it stays there. One thing that I got used to doing when using another smartwatch was to set my watch on Do Not Disturb Mode and Airplane mode while at home. I do not have any need for a smartwatch inside the house and during the night. This will save a lot of battery. Normally you will get more than 3 days if you disable all the features during the night and when you arrive home. The secondary display will give you all the info’s you need and it has a nice light background when you move your wrist to see the time. So, you do not need the always-on display function. Mobvoi is the only brand that has this technology implemented in a smartwatch.
I need to tell you that I know my sleeping pattern and other shenanigans and I do not use the watch mainly for that function.
The screen is really responsive as you can see from the video. Every side of the screen and app reacts quickly with no lag. I am really impressed by the fluidity of the screen. You can always use a plastic/glass screen protector. The screen is easily readable, even at sharp angles. I had no issues with strong artificial light
Google assistant is working as it should. With Google Assistant you can set your alarm, add notes, call your people from your list, and many other things.
You can use the watch as a phone if you have a Vodafone plan, here in the UK. The watch supports text messages, WhatsApp reply and calls, Outlook emails reply and through your Outlook you can also link your Gmail account. You can dial and call someone if you have your mobile in Bluetooth range and you can answer phone calls. The speaker of the watch is loud enough and you can clearly hear the person you talk with.
One of the best features is that it stays connected to the internet and my WhatsApp account and work email are always connected. Where I work, I cannot use my mobile and it is good to see your work emails and also to have a bit of access to WhatsApp.
Facer app will give you loads of choices when it comes to watching faces, but also Mobvoi and WearOS have some good ones. You can also design your watch face from Facer’s website. The one I have is designed by me, for example.
The watch body is light and does not feel big at all. I have a 17cm wrist circumference and the watch looks good as you can see. The nice dual-material strap can be swapped with anything 22m wide. I did swap mine with a plastic one because the original one is too beautiful and I want to use it on special occasions. Yes, boys and girls, I will wear this watch at my wedding this year and I will have the fancy brown leather/polymer strap.
From the APPs category, I love the voice memo where you can leave yourself voice messages for later. It is really handy and quickly instead of writing. You have Spotify and I’ve heard that YouTube is preparing an app called YouTube Music that will work with WearOS. The watch has both Mobvoi’s and Google’s fitness app and they work fine in terms of step counting and also detecting auto movement or exercises. The heart monitor does its job and also the oxygen monitor. I did not compare them to an actual medical device but comparing them with another smartwatch that has the same functions is similar. Play Store can let you install various apps like Google Maps, Calendar, Outlook and so many others.
Conclusions:
Compared with other watches and other old versions of TicWatch, I think this year Mobvoi nailed it. WearOS is working smooth, with no lags and no screen freezing. Everything is loading quickly. I feel that I do not need my phone that much since I got the watch to do the basic things that I would do with my phone.
The watch is elegant and with some fancy straps and faces, you can wear it to anything. With a plastic/colourful watch strap, you can easily wear it when you do sport and it will not look weird.
This watch is good for people who do not have access to their phone like hospital workers, people who work in places with no 4G or 5G connection but Wi-Fi, or in environments that having a phone is not allowed, but also for people who like efficiency and quality.
I think the smartwatch is worth the money and the effort. No lag, no issues, good battery, good assistant, nicely presented menu with responsive apps, lightweight, good screen, beautiful hardware design.
I am going to give this review in 2 parts; brief for those who want a quick comment, and more in depth for those who want more detail. First a bit of background so you can understand how I would use the watch and why I ordered it.
Background:
I am a keen runner. I try to run 3 times a week at least. So I have always had Garmin watches which I love and currently have the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro. It’s an amazing watch.
——————————————–
Quick summary (skip down if you want more in depth):
I am genuinely surprised how much I liked this watch. I am not usually keen on Wear OS watches and mainly bought this as a dress watch for occassionaly use, it was certainly never going to take the place of my Garmin. Surprisingly to me, I can’t stop wearing it. I wear it everyday! Key pros and cons so far;
Pros;
Battery life.
Screen quality
Responsive Speed
Health monitoring
Looks – thin and good looking.
Waterproof
Phone calls on watch
Cons:
Quite expensive (but only just released).
Using it on a run is fiddly
————————————————-
Full Review:
I really do love my Garmin, I think it looks great, lasts a long time and is second to none for sports and health monitoring. I bought this watch just because I really like the look of it and the ability to make calls without my phone for an emergency. I didn’t plan to wear it that often though.
Unboxing:
The box arrived the day after I ordered and it was really smartly packaged. Came with charging cable (a nice magnetic clip for side of the watch).
Looks:
The first thing that hit me was the looks of this watch. It’s thin, has a really nice brown leather band, and looks really nice on the wrist. Then you turn on the watch and the screen really hits you. It’s one of the best watch screens I’ve seen.
Battery:
My biggest issue with Wear OS is the battery drain. It’s so annoying. I hate watches that just about last the day. I just don’t want yet another device I have to think about charging all the time. This watch is by far the best Wear OS watch I know at handling battery life. In standby, it will switch to it’s LCD screen. I thought at first I would find this annoying as one of the things I love about my garmin is the always on display that doesn’t drain the battery. But this LCD is actually very good. It gives you just the information you would need if you glance over at your watch, time, date etc. It’s also very quick at flicking back to the full screen when you raised your wrist or tap the screen. It really is a best of both worlds situation because the battery life as a result, is superb. I think I’ve now had 3 days out of it easy. I also like that at 5% it just goes into that essential mode (LCD screen) and stays there to at least give you a functioning watch for much longer.
The phone calls:
I have not set up the GSM yet on this watch as I’m no longer with Vodafone, however I had the previous version of this watch and set it up on there. It is and EXCELLENT feature. It works really well. If you forget your phone and need something for emergencies, perhaps when out running, this works really well. You need One Number from Voda. It’s not hard to set up.
Running/Sports Use:
This is the only time I won’t wear this watch. Unfortunately it doesn’t come close to the Garmin for accuracy of running route, heart beat etc. I’m only saying that because I have the Garmin, so I have the option of using it for sports, and it is entirely designed for that purpose so of course it will be the best. However if you are just casual about sports and run tracking, this is a VERY good option. It has got everything you need and features some good apps to help you. I wish the screen would just stay on during the run so I can glance down, but I guess that’s a battery drain, and the screen tech of the Garmin is what gets around this. You lose the screen quality and brightness on the garmin but you do get the benefits during your runs. So it’s really about how serious a runner you are. Again, if you run occasionally and need a good tracker/all rounder, this is more that adequate.
Wear OS:
Not really the biggest fan myself of Wear OS, but I am impressed with how well it’s been implemented on this watch. The watch itself is fast and responsive, and tracking through apps is really easy. I was surprised how well they’d done it. I really like it.
Wireless Connections:
By this I mean, bluetooth, ear bud, wifi, etc. All perfect. I’ve had no problem connecting ear buds and it’s always connected to my wifi. I really like that phone calls come through to it and messages too as it means I can be more selective as to whether to pick up my phone.
Sports Apps & Waterproof:
I know I’ve mentioned running, but I should also mention that this watch is LOADED with apps for pretty much any sport you can think of. It’s quite amazing how much it can track. I really like that it’s waterproof and can track your swimming to!
Price:
OK, the price is about mid range to high. It has just come out and has a LOT of features so I think this is justified. I’m sure the price will come down in the coming months though. I do think it’s worth paying the extra for the features you’re getting and battery life.
Overall Verdict.
I honestly was only planning for this watch to be my secondary device. I cannot believe how much I like it. I have found myself wearing it more and more and relegating the Garmin to sports and running which was NOT expected. I REALLY recommend this watch, it is about as feature packed as it gets. I love the screen, the style and design, the battery life, and the connection to my phone.
Great Smart watch – worth the cost – get a protective screen for it – look forward to new OS wear for it and see what it can do with tha
Having previously owned the TicWatch 2020 Pro the Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra 4G/LTE has some impressive improvements over the last generation:
– Better battery life.
– Backlit essential mode.
– Sleep tracking support with syncing support for Google Fit..
– Fitness/Health with syncing support for Google Fit.
– More responsive with the new processor.
– Speaker is crisp a clear with speech; microphone pickup has also been good having no complaints from recipients.
– Lighter and slimmer than the older Pro 2020 variant.
– New 2-pin charger design.
I’ve owned and used it now for about 11 days and aside from the initial first charge; I have charged it twice since then slipping it in to essentials mode when not really in much use. Admittedly I’ve not used the built-in 4G with not being a Vodafone user to comment on phone 4G battery consumption.
Impressive build quality; whilst remaining lightweight:
The black bezel features numbers etched in 5-minute intervals.
The included strap is a 22mm quick-release band, made of a Hybrid Leather and Rubber combination.
The UI feels really smooth, with no lag between screens. All touches/button presses were recognised, and no delays between presses and apps opening. There are many watch faces pre-installed and more can be download from the Play Store.
I have now been wearing this watch for more than a week and am really impressed.
Shipment was quick and it arrived in a nice small package.
I have it on with all the smart functions. Battery lasts me 3 days wear.
Love all the exercise tracking and health monitoring features this smartwatch has to offer.
I have had a few different ticwatches up until now, and this is the best one BY FAR.
For me the most important thing in a smartwatch is the battery life. I have a Garming instinct that I use on a regular basis, and when the battery for that on average is 2 weeks, it’s hard for a ‘normal’ smartwatch to compare. This however has excelled my expectations, and as they state, it can very comfortably last for 72 hours. This is with ALL tracking turned on (heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep etc) which I found on my Ticwatch E drained the battery a lot faster. In essential mode I imagine it can last MUCH longer, however this also dramatically reduces what you can do on the smartwatch, so for me i haven’t got round to testing this feature yet.
It’s very comfortable to wear, and I feel looks very smart and subtle. It’s not too big either, which can always be a worry for me as I have quite small wrists! With this running Wear OS the apps and other watch faces you can download can sometimes seem endless and this is definitely something i need to explore more.
I have been running this connected up to an Iphone 12 and have also had no issues whatsoever which is always a relief.
All in all if you’re looking for a high end smartwatch with decent battery but FULL of features then I would definitely recommend this one!
Tiene doble pantalla:
– La principal, de gran resolucin, para el funcionamiento propio del dispositivo. Buena visibilidad.
– La segunda pantalla (LCD), que permite visionar la hora y alguna otra informacin bsica ms, es de muy bajo consumo de batera, y se puede personalizar su iluminacin con hasta 18 colores distintos. As nunca te aburres de ver siempre el mismo color, tal y como se puede apreciar en las imgenes que aado. Todo un acierto.
Autonoma de la batera: en modo esencial (pantalla secundaria), puede durar hasta mes y medio. Aunque, lgicamente, un reloj de estas caractersticas lo adquirimos para usarlo en modo inteligente, es decir, dndole uso ms o menos constante a sus aplicaciones, que a m me ha durado entre dos y tres das. El tiempo de recarga total es de unos 90 minutos. Por lo tanto, en este sentido, tambin se nota la mejora respecto a modelos anteriores.
Es resistente al agua, con lo que podemos ducharnos o baarnos con el reloj puesto.
Las notificaciones de todo tipo llegan de manera inmediata, con una visualizacin perfecta (salen hasta los emojis de los whatsapps).
En este modelo en concreto, se pueden realizar y recibir llamadas de telfono. En mi caso, la eSIM es de Orange. Obtuve el alta de la misma sin ningn problema en una tienda fsica. Creo que Vodafone tambin ofrece este servicio. Por lo que respecta a la calidad del sonido de las llamadas, escuchas y te escuchan bastante bien.
Su potente procesador otorga gran fluidez al funcionamiento del sistema. Lleva algunas apps ya instaladas (pulsmetro, medidor de oxgeno, monitorizacin de la frecuencia cardaca, monitorizacin del ejercicio fsico, monitorizacin del sueo, temporizador, cronmetro, grabador de notas de voz, etc), pero se pueden instalar muchas ms.
En definitiva, dispositivo con prestaciones propias de la gama alta, pero con un precio mucho ms asequible que los de otras marcas en modelos de calidad similar. Absolutamente recomendable!!!
De primeras deciros que si no tenis un smartwatch, sta es una oportunidad nica aprovechando las navidades y los regalos de tener el que puede considerarse el mejor con Wear Os.
A destacar:
– La doble pantalla, con su FSTN es perfecta para aguantar sin problemas ms de 2 das de autonoma, adems de que tambin te da informacin cclica cuando haces deporte (km, pulsaciones, ritmo, etc)
– La nueva esfera aprovecha la inclusin del nuevo modo de aviso de fatiga (adjunto imgenes de este nuevo modo), donde puedes ver tu fatiga mental y tu nivel de energa.
– Wear OS, que decir que no se sepa, puedes tener la aplicacin que quieras en tu mueca, as como recibir Whatsapp y contestarlos, en este modelo incluso ver las imgenes de las diferentes notificaciones.
– Siempre he llevado el Ticwatch en la piscina y nunca he tenido ningn problema, me encanta cuando termino de nadar y expulsa con aire las microgotitas del agua sobrante.
– El GPS conecta muy rpido, por lo que no tienes esperar para empezar con el ejercicio fsico
– Por ltimo el procesador Snapdragon 4100+ es un puntazo y va muy fluido en todas las ocasiones.
Punto extra: No es esencialmente cosa del smartwatch, pero he de romper una lanza a favor del soporte de Mobvoi, cuando he tenido algn problema lo han solventado con creces. Muy bien.
A mejorar:
– Cuando antes deberan intentar actualizar a Wear Os 3.0, con este hardware sera imbatible.
Espero que os haya ayudado y que tengis menos dudas con respecto a este smartwatch.
I simply love my new watch. I have been using it for quite sometime now and I can say it goes over my expectations. The battery lasts for days. I keep it at night and it tracks my sleep pattern, my heart beats, my oxygenation and my stress level. I keep it while swimming whitout any issue. I use it to pay at the supermarket and to answer calls when I cannot reach the phone. I don’t need my phone close anymore at work, as I can check if someone looks for me.
Very happy with this watch.
Wear OS so great range of Apps. Nativd GPay is a godsend. The heart, AfIB, and SPO2 work well.
Tested it swimming in a pool and has been fine (people expressed concerns re previous devices)
GPS/Strava work well.
The battery life is 2-3 days and I use quite a lot of the features. They do a clever think with having both a beautiful Amoled screen when you want it and an ultra low power LCD screen when not.
No complaints.
This watch is, in my opinion, the ultimate companion watch for sports, health and sleep monitoring. The TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra (and I assume TicWatch Pro 3) has a suite of monitoring functions — not just the sports monitoring and recording features you might come to expect from a top of the range sports watch, but TicSleep, which can record your sleep pattern — how long your total sleep ‘session’ was and if it was ‘light sleep’ or ‘deep sleep’. In my case, as someone who suffers from sleep apnoea, I am extremely impressed with this sleep monitoring capability and have already begun using it to tweak my routine for improved rest. The watch itself runs smoothly, with a bright clear screen, comfortable strap and unlike my previous sports watch, it doesn’t lag when switching apps.
The second thing I am really impressed with is the sports / health monitoring functions / apps. This watch automatically detects when you start to exercise, calculates the rough amount of kCal you’ve burned during that exercise session, min, max, mean heartrate, your exercise route / location and automatically stores all of this for review, allowing easy access to examine improvement over time. All of this can be viewed with the Mobvoi app & the Google Fit app as well. I’ve also begun using the TicZen app, which gives a visual representation of how stressed the watch thinks you are at that moment and provides guided (vibration & screen) breathing exercises to help become calmer.
The battery life is excellent — I charge the watch whenever I charge my phone which is normally for an hour after exercise every morning. It’s never run out on me.
It’s a very small thing, but I’ve also taken to leaving my phone at home and just taking the watch when I go out for a jog / walk instead. It can do everything I need that the phone can do & will auto-sync through the phone when nearby. The strap is of a high quality, but It can be changed out if necessary.
All in all, I’m VERY happy with this purchase. It’s not the first time I’ve purchased a TicWatch and it certainly won’t be the last!
p.s. I included a picture of TicSleep from the night prior to this review – just to show how impressed I am of it. It is a true representation and accurately recorded the number of times I woke up. This is really helpful to me.
Ticwatch pro 3 ultra 4g/lte
Bluetooth connection to the phone is set up easily. A few issues setting up the 4g/lte with Vodafone UK due to my one number being bugged due to a deleted Alexa blocking the order, but after 300 minutes in many calls this was sorted and the 4g/lte setup went smoothly when I did it from the wear os app on the phone.
When connected to the phone via Bluetooth all notifications come through fine. The health trackers all work SPO2, heart rate and sleep tracking all switched on for 24 hour monitoring. Monitoring looks accurate was better after calibration on the watch, though sleep tracking sometimes switches on while watching TV.
Google Pay works well. Double pressing the lower button brings this up (triple pressing lower button if on the FSTN screen) is set by default.
Battery life is good, easily gets 2 days and often 3 with everything running, and charging is quick, an hour every couple of days.
4G/LTE when away from phone works ok, can stream music to headphones, make & receive phone calls, use Google maps regardless of the phones state. As long as the phone is on and connected to the internet you can send and receive SMS and all notifications come through, can even reply to whatsapp using the watch. Not sure if it is worth the monthly expense of 7.00 or 3.50 with 50% discount. But handy if you don’t want to take phone with you and stay connected.
Very fast, sleek and well made smart watch. As far as Wear OS watches got this is by far the market leader.
If i’m being honest i’d take 1/2 star off for the Wear OS version (its on v2 compared to v3 the samsungs are on) but that’s not anything mobvoi can do, thats on google. However looks like it’ll be released for this watch in January. Once it does it’ll be unbeatable.
The Mobvoi baked in apps make up for what’s missing with Wear OS, see screen shot.
Sleep tracking app is really good and found the results very accurate (and near enough the exact same as my Galaxy watch 3).
Exercise wise it was also very good, however the HR took a minute or so after starting to settle down and after that was pretty accurate.
What makes it for me is the look and feel. Looks like a proper watch, and very very comfortable, considering the size. The dual screen is amazing, just makes it more appealing.
Battery wise initially saw a day of battery but that was with me constantly tweaking and playing about. After that settled, easily gets 48 hours + and thats with everything on, exercise tracking, gps etc.
Never tested the 4G/LTE capabilities so cant comment on that.
Considering this has just been launched, and will receive many an update to iron out the small blips. Can see this being a great buy in the long run.
I have had many smartwatches in the last few years, many of witch were made by TicWatch. I’ve had the Pro 2, the Pro 3, the E3, and now this one, on top of others by Samsung and Huawei. I can say that by far this is the best watch I’ve used.
The UI, the tracking of vitals, and battery life are all incredibly improved from previous versions.
With 4G I can go running without having to bring my phone, which is also a great feature (but I imagine many will be equally happy with the non-4G version).
The processor seems to be very fast. I have had no lag in any action I’ve taken in just under a month of usage now.
Battery life is very very good. I can get about 4 days on average, although that might vary with how much one uses all the different features.
SpO2 and Heart monitoring have put my mind at rest as a long term sufferer of arrythmias – when I feel a bit low I can check those directly and know if it’s time to take a rest!
The design is very similar to the non-Ultra version, although I prefer the brown strap on this new version.
All in all a wonderful watch that I’m hoping will last me for a very long time (or at least until the next improved TicWatch!).
Has been connected to my OnePlus 8 Pro and I have used the watch for 3 days so far.
This is my 4th TicWatch and it doesn’t disappoint I have previously owned the TicWatch S, TicWatch Pro, TicWatch Pro 3 and now the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra.
From the get go the packaging of the watch was almost identical to the last 2 TicWatch’s I have owned this isn’t a bad thing by any stretch the box is high quality and has everything laid out neatly and makes everything easy to access.
The older Pro 3 was a great looking watch however Ultra version takes the cake as the slightly bevelled edge and flush gorilla glass makes it much more of a sight to behold. With the new Military Standard 810G specification all the materials of the watch feel much stronger which is to be expected. The side buttons are both very tactile and have nice click. My only slight problems with this watches design is that it is slightly heavier than the previous however this isn’t a deal breaker as it is plenty light as well as the bezel not rotating but this is to be expected as none of my TicWatchs have ever had it.
The display is the main reason I loved all my TicWatchs, the 1.4 inch dual screen display is incredible. For most of the time I see the low powered LCD display which show all the basic information I am accustomed to seeing at a glance with the ability to just tap on the screen and the full AMOLED display to light up and have full smart watch features with a smooth and responsive experience. With both of these displays I have had no issues with visibility and low brightness at any point of the day.
This watch using Wear OS meant that every app I tried from Sleep tracking to Spotify to Google keep all worked flawlessly and I noticed they opened faster than my previous watch. Another great feature was that is supports Google Pay which is such a nice thing to have due to the convenience of not having to get your phone or card out to pay as it is just on your wrist.
Battery life of this new model was better than the previous one, even when I was using the watch with so many features running like the 24/7hr and blood oxygen, as well as using it to monitor sleep.
The charger that comes with the watch is identical to the last model which was great for me to see as I didn’t have to rerun any cables.
In conclusion this is a great watch and I will definitely be recommending it to everyone.
Unboxing the Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS it felt high quality and expensive. It has good weight to it whilst not being heavy, it has a nice feel. It’s easy to wear, the black strap it comes with is comfortable and straight forward in matt black. It looks good on the arm, eye-catching and modern. The profile is slim and the screen is big enough without being too big. When it comes to clarity, the screen is clear and sharp, small text is even good, the screen is bright enough without being glary and the backlight colour can be changed. Which is nice if you prefer a contrast It’s really responsive too, and with two side buttons to change through screens it’s intuitive and obvious to a new user. It also has a dual display so when in ambient mode that just displays the basic time date its like it’s in dark mode, which is there to save battery life ultimately.
Set up was simple, downloaded the WearOS app, added my login details and paired my phone with the watch. I was guided through the setup process, adding my Google account.
Tic Exercise is added with the Mobvoi app but you can also add another fitness app if you prefer, I’m sure it is compatible with others too. The Tic health functions are extensive including heart rate monitor,.sleep tracking, blood oxygen, numerous workout modes and it’s IP68 waterproof rated for swim workouts too.
I added all of the apps from my phone that I thought would be useful to me being on the watch too. But I didn’t need to add WhatsApp to get messages on the watch. All messages and notifications started coming through on the watch as soon as it was paired and the messages appear really well, I’ve seen other smart watches where the text is unclear or so few words appear on the screen it’s useless but that isn’t the case here.
Calls come through on the watch displaying the caller from your contacts as expected and you can answer and take calls on the watch with it having a built in microphone and speaker which has come in handy already when your hands are full and the phone is in your pocket.
I added a new watch face by choosing from a selection and also my Google pay and contactless payments can be made via the phone so long as the screen has been unlocked.
So far, battery life is great with me charging it once every two days and the charger is a tiny little magnetic clip that easily attaches to the phone with a standard usb at the other end.
All in all, it’s a great all-round smart watch that has a great quality features and feel and I’m enjoying wearing it.
At first glance, opening the box felt expensive and taking it out, I was instantly surprised by how light weight the Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra felt. For me the size suits a man’s or bigger wrist not a dainty little one and the strap (which can be replaced) doesn’t seem to suit the watch, the brown leather isn’t working for me. However, that’s where the negatives stop.
It connects smoothly to your Google account and adds the apps from your phone seamlessly. This means you can use Tic health, Google fit or any other fitness app you might already use. The feature that makes it for me is that you really can make calls through just the watch, no phone required! It’s so very James Bond on that front. And it works really well too, answer a call in a tap or reply to a text without the screen feeling too small.
Battery life is great, holds up well using continual heart rate monitoring for a full 24 hours so you can record heart rate during activity in the day and sleep monitoring during sleep and then carries on the following day too. Without pushing it too heard it could easily last 2 sleeps I think.
There are 2 physical buttons, one opens apps, turns it off, and the other double taps open to Gpay or Applepay making it easy to use at the checkout. You add a lock pin to make this secure just like on a phone.
You quickly get used to the gestures, once on screen and can find everything easily, I’d recommend for those who aren’t too techy, the Wear OS is intuitive and responsive. Sausage fingers are no problem as the screen is big enough and the text is appropriately sized for a finger or thumb. And the tilt to view works every time, I’ve encountered another smart watch that really made.you work to wake the screen.
The screen rests in dark mode and then wakes with whatever face you select, I popped the rainbow face on here. Background colour can be personalized too.
Its built in GPS means you can head off for a run with no phone lurking in your pocket and can answer calls en-route, that’s what a smart watch should do to earn it smart credentials otherwise it’s merely a bright watch.
Pleased with this watch is an understatement, I’m sure it has more surprises I’m yet to discover but so far it’s proving invaluable. I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy being so connected to be honest but I’m already feeling like i’d be a little lost with it.
I really enjoy this watch so far. HR accuracy seems to be fine so as other trackers. Haven’t found anything yet that I wouldn’t like about this watch. When i fully test everything I’ll come back with an update. 5/5
Certo altre marche magari pi blasonate o pi pubblicizzate vengono presentate come dei must, ma vi assicuro che il Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS, sicuramente non serve per fare il caff, ma in possesso di tutte quelle caratteristiche che ci si aspetta di trovare in un dispositivo da indossare all-purpose.
Ripartiamo come da copione.
Arriva in una confezione abbastanza elegante che riproduce quasi pedissequamente quelle dei due precedenti modelli, esteticamente simili anche se meno performanti.
All’interno della scatola un manuale e il cavetto di ricarica con i soliti contatti magnetici montati su una base pi minimalista rispetto al primo Ticwatch, ma egualmente sicura.
Una nota particolare riguarda il cinturino: a prima vista sembra meno pregiato di quello dei modelli precedenti che erano in gomma a contatto del braccio e in pelle all’esterno con delle cuciture esteticamente apprezzabili; questo tutto in gomma di ottima qualit, credo antiallergico, dal momento che non produce irritazione anche se indossato a lungo.
All’avvio l’accoppiamento con lo smartphone non presenta particolari difficolt; bastano alcuni minuti per scaricare e istallare le applicazioni desiderate e terminare la configurazione scaricando anche sul cellulare Wear Os e Mobvoi, le due app che consentono l’abbinamento e la sincronizzazione dei due dispositivi.
L’orologio consente il conteggio del numero dei passi, la misurazione del livello di rumore (decibel), di numerosissime attivit fisiche (nuoto, bici, corsa, tennis, tennis tavolo, aerobica, yoga, etc.) e di vari aspetti della salute (battito cardiaco, saturazione del sangue, salute fisica e mentale, livello di stress, qualit del sonno), per i quali possibile attivare il monitoraggio h24.
Le caratteristiche tecniche:
* Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100 e Sistema a doppio processore Mobvoi
* Wear OS by Google
* Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi: 802.11b/g/n
* Gestione del benessere
* Dimensioni (mm): 47 x 48 x 12,3
* Vetro di copertura anti-impronta Corning Gorilla
* Resistente a urti, vibrazioni e sbalzi di temperatura grazie alla Certificazione MIL-STD-810G
* Monitoraggio della salute 24 ore in tempo reale
* GPS e bussola integrati
* Grado di impermeabilit IP68 e adatto per il nuoto in piscina
* Rilevamento IHB / AFib e valutazione della fatica*
Due le novit rispetto ai modelli precedenti: la rilevazione della fibrillazione atriale, una aritmia cardiaca subdola e sovente non percepita se non a seguito di accertamenti diagnostici e la misurazione dei livelli di energia e concentrazione mentale.
Entrambe le caratteristiche danno risultati attendibili. Se i parametri personali possono risultare soggettivi ho avuto modo di accertare con un amico in PFA (Fibrillazione atriale permanente) che questa patologia viene rilevata correttamente.
Migliorato rispetto al passato anche il livello e la qualit dell’audio.
E veniamo a quello che interessa principalmente coloro che pensano di acquistare uno Smartwatch: l’autonomia.
Inserisco questa recensione con notevole ritardo rispetto all’acquisto dell’orologio proprio per essere sicuro di fornire dati attendibili. Ho provveduto a misurare l’autonomia alle diverse condizioni di utilizzo e in base alle applicazioni attive e ai sensori attivati.
Ho rilevato che con tutti i sensori attivati ( monitoraggio del battito nelle 24h, dell’ossigeno nelle 24h, del sonno, rilevazione decibel sempre attiva, rilevazione del benessere, GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC, etc.), per le prime due/tre settimane la durata della batteria si attestava sulle 48/52 ore; dopo quasi due mesi raggiunge tranquillamente le 70 ore credo grazie al fatto che la generosa batteria dello smartwatch, come la altre similari, comincia a esprimere il meglio dopo svariati cicli di ricarica completa, avendo cura, per le prime volte di connettere l’alimentatore dopo aver fatto scaricare quasi del tutto la batteria (diciamo quando raggiunge il 5%, mai comunque a zero).
Apprezzabile la possibilit di scegliere colorazioni diverse per la retroilluminazione dello schermo secondario (quello che consente il risparmio di energia) anche se per funzionare occorre disabilitare l’attivazione tramite rotazione del polso e non possibile regolarne la luminosit.
In conclusione uno smartwatch da acquistare ad occhi chiusi per l’autonomia sopra la media, l’accuratezza dei rilevamenti (molto migliorata quella dei passi rispetto ai modelli precedenti), la ricchezza e variet delle funzioni, per l’hardware di qualit, per la velocit e fluidit grazie al processore Snapdragon Wear 4100, affiancato da un secondo processore per la gestione delle attivit a basso consumo e dei sensori.
Unica pecca, ad essere pignoli, l’aggiornamento al Wear OS 3 previsto a met 2022.
I purchased the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS 4G LTE as a present for my husband, who was using an older version of the TicWatch. He had mentioned wanting to upgrade to a newer version so I surprised him with this! Most of this review will be based off his comments and experience of using the watch over the last week or so.
The box and packaging are very nicely designed with a premium feel. The contents are fairly minimal, with the watch itself, charger base, and some instructions. As far as the design of the actual watch itself, it is lovely. It has hard looking shiny materials on the bezel, with numbers around it. 2 hardware buttons on the side feel nice, and don’t seem to get in the way. The specification shows the screen as having gorilla glass, and the overall design is of a military grade so should be very hard wearing.
My husband said the watch felt nice and light, and was lighter than his previous version, and is very comfortable. The strap is a very nice-looking brown leather, or maybe leather effect? This adds to a fancier look, rather than a sporty design. But the straps are easily changed for any other 22mm strap. The underside of the leather strap has a very pleasing geometric pattern, which is a nice touch.
Powering on the watch, brings the screen to life. When in full smart mode the screen is clear, sharp, vibrant, and bright, and responds well to touch. It also has an “essential mode” which turns off the main screen and displays a power saving LCD type display with the basic information like time, date, steps etc.
The watch itself runs on Android Wear so it has access to Google store for apps. The included apps are quite plentiful though, with Phone, Calculator, Stopwatch and timers, Google Fit, Google Pay, all bundled as standard. My husband has used most of the apps in his day-to-day usage, especially Google Pay to make quick and easy purchases.
The other non-standard applications on offer are from TicWatch. The main one he has used is TicExercise to monitor exercise and dog walks etc. This combines a lot of the features, and gives a nice overview of exercise activities, steps, altitude, heart rate, blood oxygen, mental fatigue and more. There are also some other apps such as TicZen and TicHearing which are useful for mindfulness.
I was surprised that the battery was as strong as it is on this watch, as it was tracking so much from the above. 24 heart monitoring, blood oxygen, with extra heart health for irregular heartbeat detection and AFib, as well as sleep recording. The watch is consistently lasting 2 full days before needing a charge, and as the battery gets low it switches automatically into essential mode, which turns off most smart modes and only allows the LCD screen as mentioned before. This mode can also be used manually and will apparently last over 40 days in this mode.
When it comes to charging the watch, it sits nicely in the supplied USB charger dock, which is very small so great for travelling. it does not come with a USB plug, but these are so common these days it is normal for companies to not supply them.
An untested part of this so far, is the eSim functionality. By getting an eSim activated by Vodafone, you can have data on the watch without needing it to be tethered to a phone by Bluetooth/Wi-Fi. This would allow the watch to make and receive calls and texts totally by itself. He has no need for this function as of yet, but might be good for times when he wants to leave his phone at home.
All in all, he loves the watch and it was a great present 🙂
I finally decided to take the plunge and get myself a smartwatch. Having looked at all the competition I settled on the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra and I am glad I did.
Packaging & shipping
The watch arrived promptly and securely thanks to a one time password being required before the courier would hand over the parcel to me which i was happy about. The watch arrived in a slick looking box and inside was the watch itself, manuals and charging cable.
Initial impressions
The watch is obviously very well engineered, not too heavy, excellent finishes on all surfaces and with a nice big screen. There is a quality feel to the watch, especially the black metal bezel with what i assume to be laser etched groves and numbers. The buttons are easily accessible and using them confers a feeling of refinement which I hoped to find. The supplied strap is just as good and i am pleased to find that it is swappable so should i need to change the look of the unit down the line I will be able to.
Setting up
Happily the watch was fully charged upon delivery so i didn’t have to wait to play with it! As it’s a WearOS device you have to go though setting it up with you Google account which was as painless as you’d expect. Once linked with your account and paired with your phone (I have an iPhone XS and had no issues) you get to start having fun.
Features
As it’s a WearOS based device you have the standard Google apps to use and many more available to download on the play store. I won’t cover that here as this is a review of the watch and not of Google’s services.
In terms of the cusomtised Tic apps though there are plenty on offer. The watch has all the features you’d expect from a smart watch in terms of fitness activity monitoring, pulse rate monitoring, wellness apps etc but also has some premium features which aren’t as common on other models, namely TicHearing (for ensuring ambient noise levels are not too high) but most impressively TicOxygen which actively measures your blood oxygen levels. Given the current pandemic this is a potentially life-saving feature which really makes this watch shine for me.
Display & Hardware
The display is large and bright but despite this battery life is conserved due to it having a dual display which cleverly allows you to see essential information without activating the main display. This is a smart innovation which no doubt contributes a lot to the impressive battery life (see below). The touch screen is responsive and has a nice refined feel to it, I’ve not had any missed or mis-clicks so far, what more can you ask?
Battery life
Decent battery life was a must have for me and the TicWatch doesn’t disappoint, even with moderate use of the features it still keeps going for pretty much 72 hours straight before needing a charge. Obviously this varies depending on usage (e.g. if you use it to track a lot of fitness activities then expect to charge it more often) but even so the amount of power this thing has is impressive. Of course heavy use of the 4G/LTE features does drain the battery faster but if you make sure you use WiFi where available then it’s easily manageable and more than worth it for the features available with….
…4G/LTE functionality
Fancy leaving your phone at home during a workout? No problem, the built in LTE/4G allows you to untether yourself from your phone but stay connected when out and about. Using the vodafone onenumber service you can make and receive calls on your current phone number without being anywhere near your actual phone, pretty slick. Of course you also have full internet access as well so this is a really great for peace of mind to know you’re fully contactable and have access to all your email/text/whatsapp messages as well.
Overall
Yep, I’m happy. Great value for money and a fine quality smart watch!
I originally purchased the Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS and was very happy with the quality and price of such a feature packed device, but curiosity caused a purchase of the New 4G/LTE model and I have to say I’m incredibly happy.
I’ve had many of people comment on how ‘expensive’ and ‘smart’ it looks.
I’m very, very impressed with the improved backlight on essential mode, which I do use a lot due to work patterns meaning charging isn’t always an option.
Charging takes roughly an hour and a half from essential mode to 100% which seems to be an improvement from previous ticwatch models, especially the Pro S and Pro 2020.
The strap on the Ultra 4G/LTE isn’t my favourite and I have swapped this for the silicone strap for comfort purposes, this is simply user preference, I also don’t like brown as a choice.
The new UI is my favourite by far, from previous models I felt it was dated and clunky, now navigating the app screen is fluid and quicker which showcases the improved processor (snapdragon 4100)
If you’re in the market for a upstanding brand and packing features this is a no brainer, it certainly looks the part and performs like no other smart watch brand I’ve come across yet.
Once again a fantastic product from Mobvoi and will certainly return for the next smartwatch release!
Any questions feel free to ask!

Acabados prmium por fuera, el reloj se ve precioso y de calidad puesto en la mueca.
Fluidez total en su interior, las aplicaciones las mueve sin presentar ningn retardo y es que el nuevo procesador 4100+ se nota.
El LTE lo he podido usar sin problemas, es una gozada poder dejar el mvil en casa y seguir recibiendo datos y poder llamar y recibir llamadas desde el reloj.
La batera en modo inteligente y con los sensores activos me dura entre 2 y 3 das, lo cual es muchsimo para un reloj con sistema operativo Wear Os.
Otros relojes con este sistema operativo apenas me pasaban el da de uso.
Y si pasados los 3 das no me he acordado de cargarlo, pongo el reloj en modo esencial y me dura sin problemas hasta la siguiente carga.
La doble pantalla hace un gran servicio a la batera, como novedad respecto a versiones anteriores de la marca, tiene retroiluminacin que se puede personalizar con distintos colores.

Precisa medicin del sueo, detectando los tiempos que he pasado en cada fase que he tenido durante la noche, ritmo de pulsaciones y el oxgeno en sangre.
Me ha sorprendido que mida la fatiga mental y la energa, no se bajo que parmetros realiza estas mediciones, pero me ha parecido original y novedoso, me ha gustado ir contemplando las variaciones, en mi opinin acertadas, que voy teniendo a lo largo del da.
El reloj es capaz de medir el ests y segn el manual te avisa en caso de detectar latidos irregulares del corazn.
Asistente de google incluido, funcionando y bien, mi principal uso es para la domtica.
En cuanto a apps, dispone de todo el amplio abanico que tiene la play store de Google, se pueden contestar wasaps, me ha gustado que se pueda escuchar msica online mediante Spotify o YouTube, tambin puedo hacerlo localmente mediante las canciones que me he descargado directamente al reloj, el cual tiene 8 GB de capacidad de memoria.
He podido pagar con el reloj sin problemas, mediante Google Pay.
En 2022 se actualizar a Wear Os 3.
No es el primer reloj que he tenido de esta marca, visto lo bueno que me result el Ticwatch pro respecto a otras marcas (algunas muy conocidas) que anteriormente he tenido , me decid repetir compra con Movboi, pero esta vez en versin LTE.
Estoy muy contento con l, un reloj que tiene y hace de todo, independiente del mvil, con certificacin militar (polvo, temperaturas, agua, golpes), si como est previsto en 2022 actualiza a Wear Os 3, es un reloj que va a durar aos compitiendo con los mejores, totalmente recomendable la compra.
This is my first Smartwatch – after holding off for a number of years I felt now was the time to dip my toe in the water and having seen other members of my family enjoy the previous generations of Ticwatch it felt like the right thing to do going with the very latest iteration of this watch family and to have the support and suggestions of the other Ticwatch users in the household to lean on if required.
This particular model has only just been released (I pre-ordered on Amazon a week or so before release and the watch was duly delivered by the Official Mobvoi Store, courtesy of Amazon). The watch is nice packed in a smart and sturdy box and the contents are well laid out and secured within this. I found the watch, a quick start guide, a charging cable (no plug but you only need a standard USB charger to connect to which was no problem in my household). Charging with the magnetically connected lead was straightforward and fast and I installed the WearOS app on my Android phone in the meantime.
The watch itself is substantial looking but lightweight and the strap being a leather/silicone combination looks and feels really nice on the wrist – I have had admiring comments from people asking me what watch I was wearing and I would say it does look more expensive than it really is.
Setup was easy and did not take long, with a combination of the watch and the phone prompting me, I chose a nice watchface to run with initially (called Rhythm) and then started to play with the other apps and settings available before living my life with the watch to see how it worked for me. I have the watch set to always-on-mode as I love to see the animated watch face at any time, this does have an impact on overall battery life but I still found I only needed to charge every two or three days.
I have been wild swimming several times a week in the last year so it seemed natural to go for a rugged Smartwatch that would be able to cope with the knocks and bangs (as well as the water!) involved in such pursuits. This watch did not disappoint in this respect in any way. It is apparently built to US Military Standard 810G – I’m not sure what that covers exactly, but I can say that this watch appears to be very tough. It is advertised as being dust-proof, waterproof (IP68 rated) as well as capable of withstanding temperature, humidity and shock extremes. All I can say is, it has survived my beach and river swimming activities without skipping a beat, I’ve clambered over rocks, sat in the sand and jumped in the sea. There is a an option to run a series of tones (long press the lower button) to drive any residual water from the speaker/mic which I think is worth doing (when I remember).
I should say that whilst this is my first Smartwatch so I don’t have anything to compare with, it seems really responsive with no lag at all when running any of the apps that I have played with so far. In terms of support and updates, whilst this watch is currently on WearOS V2, support for the newest iteration, WearOS V3 has been promised at some point which is great news.
The 4G/LTE functionality is not enabled yet on my phone – I need to speak to Vodafone as I understand they are offering a contract for the Ticwatch range and it would be really useful to be able to make and take calls and messages away from my phone (whilst swimming for example) – further investigation to come on this. I tend to use GooglePay on my phone whilst out and about so the ability to pay from my watch without getting a phone out of my bag has proven to be really useful and quick to do.
I love the ability to quickly review messages – WhatsApp or text etc (including graphic/photo content) – avoiding the need to pull your phone out to take a look and it is even possible to respond to messages quickly and easily with a pre-canned response. I find the message vibration alerts work well and get your attention without too much fuss or audible feedback.
App wise you do get a good selection of useful health related apps pre-installed – (both Mobvoi and generic Google variants), SPo2, heart rate, stress etc – I set all of these to continuous monitoring so I can keep an eye on my levels throughout the day (and night – with sleep tracking thrown in for good measure) – so it has been fun seeing how fit (or unfit at times) I appear to be. I have installed the Strava app and tried this with both walks and cycling which works well – when you reach the end of your activity, simply hit the end button and the whole exercise including the route taken etc is uploaded to your account so you can see it in full detail on your phone, brilliant! The Google Assistant is useful for setting alarms and timers (as well as lots of other things I’m sure!) and I found using my watch to control the Spotify app in the gym made sense. Beyond this there are apps for numerous other purposes available in the PlayStore via the watch.
All in all I love my new watch, this may be my first Smartwatch but I can’t fault the experience in any way, from the rugged construction to the lovely bright, responsive screen and decent Multi-day battery life, it’s a winner for me and I’ll certainly be recommending the brand and specific watch model to friends and family in the future.
This is the first time I’ve moved into more of the luxury side of TicWatch and it’s been great so far. In the past, I’ve used the E2 & E3 and most notably on this watch is the size of the watch face and the battery life. The larger watch face makes it a lot easier to interact with apps on the watch and the battery life has been great, including daily workouts. In addition, the watch has been comfortable during workouts and the strap hasn’t caused any irritation. It’s a bit more on the expensive side of smart watches but it definitely feels more upmarket than their previous watches.
I decided to buy the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra 4G as an upgrade on my previous TicWatch and I’m glad I did!
The improvements made from the previous versions are great and the battery life is brilliant, so far I’ve used around 40% of the total battery after 2 days of use with all the monitors on for heart rate and such. At the current rate I’m using it, it should last for around 4, maybe 5, days before needing a charge.
I’ve been using the watch with pre-installed Mobvoi apps: TicHealth and TicPulse, TicSleep, TicZen, TicOxygen, and TicHearing. They’re all just as good as I expect and track everything I need, also automatically syncing across to Google Fit as well once you set the link between them up.
The watch strap is definitely the best one so far, it has a brown leather-effect exterior on the strap and looks much more stylish than the previous full plastic ones you would get. It’s also very comfortable to wear. The watch itself is the same size as previous as well so that’s a bonus.
It runs on the Snapdragon 4100+ chip with Wear OS so it’s more efficient than my previous watch and the new features like the coloured essential mode display and the improved battery life make it a good improvement overall.
Additionally, if you’ve got an eSIM from someone like Vodafone then you can have your calls and texts on the watch itself without needing your phone with you. I personally always keep my phone with me, but it is good to know that if I run out of phone battery, I can do everything necessary on my watch until I can charge my phone up again.
I recommend this watch for those looking for a good quality watch with great battery life and stylish looking strap! It’ll last you a long time!
Lo primero es indicar que no creo que sea yo una de esas personas que exprimen al mximo estos “artilugios tecnolgicos”, ya que mi experiencia es simplemente a nivel usuario
Sin embargo tras un mes de uso continuado, he de decir que estoy ms que encantado con el Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS.
Adems de lo ya comentado de la posibilidad de usarlo en la piscina, una de las cosas que menos me gustaba de mi anterior reloj, era la duracin de la batera, pues deba de cargarla casi a diario, sin embargo en esta nueva versin, la duracin dependiendo del uso es increble.
Con todas las aplicaciones en uso, incluso practicando dos veces al da deporte, lo que incluye el uso de gps, cronos, ritmos cardacos, oxigeno y dems, estoy ms de dos das usndolo sin cargar. Y aunque no dispone de carga rpida, el tiempo de carga no es elevado.
Lo que sigue encantndome es su pantalla esencial, que muestra los datos bsicos sin activar la pantalla, destacar que han incluido la retroiluminacin, con colores personalizables que facilitan la visualizacin de la hora, la fecha, los pasos, o el nivel de batera, con un calidad espectacular en cualquier entorno independientemente de la iluminacin que tengamos.
Y en cuanto al diseo, se han introducido pequeas variaciones, que lo han mejorado mucho, pues a mi parecer esta nueva versin es deportiva a la par que elegante, tiene un diseo mucho ms delicado, con lineas ms suaves y finas, tanto en la esfera como en la correa.
Y para finalizar, que ms contar, pues que puedes descargar rutas y seguirlas a travs de el smartwatch, usar Spotify, mandar mensajes, recibir y realizar llamadas, monitoriza el sueo de forma perfecta, mide el stress…
En fin encantado con mi nuevo Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS, el cual recomiendo, y por cierto, las mediciones son muy muy correctas, puesto que esta semana estuve en una revisin mdica y los valores del oxigeno del reloj y del aparato del mdico eran idnticas
Lo recomiendo!!!
Not had the watch that long but so far so good. Good battery life, better than my old Galaxy watch. Still discovering new features. Recomend .
So far so good , battery life is brilliant , I’ve not got everything running but enough for myself
Get notifications and news straight to my wrist, replying is easy via voice
It’s very comfortable to wear even sleeping
Only been using it a week and would recommend
Will update as necessary if needed
Me gusta mucho la calidad de la imagen as como la duracin de la batera !
En mi caso lo
Uso para caminar y el hiking y me va de maravilla me dura todo el da la batera.
Estoy muy feliz y lo recomiendo, soy un gran fan de esta marca !
premium feel, I’ve worn it for workouts and on the
daily casual clothes, it wears very nice in all
occasions, 577mAh battery is big enough that it’ll
get you through two days with pretty heavy use.
For me it ticks almost all of the boxes
Eine meiner Leidenschaften sind dabei Smart-Watches der unterschiedlichsten preislichen Kategorien.
Fr mich sind Uhren immer auch ein modisches Detail und daher wechsle ich sehr hufig auch meine Uhren und passe sie dem Outfit an.
Die neue TicWatch hat mit etwas berrascht, weil ich nicht mit ihr gerechnet habe und pltzlich den Newsletter dafr in meinem Postkasten gefunden habe. Mobvoi gehrt zu den noch nicht so bekannten Marken die aber sehr hochwertige Uhren machen die keine reinen Clones sind.
Qualitativ spielen sie fr mich oben mit.
Das neue Modell gehrt in die Pro-Ecke. Mobvoi hat viele unterschiedliche Kategorien und die Pro’s sind ihre Flagschiffe. Somit war ich auf die Uhr sehr gespannt.
Die Uhr war nach einem Tag bei mir. Die Verpackung ist hochwertig und alles macht einen sehr guten Eindruck. Die Uhr selbst unterscheidet sich optisch sehr von dem Vorgngermodel. Ich habe noch die Version mit Lederarmband. Diese ist wesentlich dicker und schwerer.
Welche der beiden einem besser gefllt, ist wahrscheinlich Geschmacksache. Optisch bin ich eher bei der alten Version da sie fr mich hochwertiger aussieht.
Die Einrichtung funktioniert sehr einfach. Alles wird hauptschlich ber die google-App eingerichtet. Die Hauseigene Mobvoi App liefert nur die Grundfunktionen.
Die Uhr hat keine Probleme mit meinem iPhone und hat sich schnell gekoppelt und die notwendigen (von mir freigegebenen) Informationen geholt.
Generell luft die Verbindung sehr, sehr stabil und es gab keinerlei Abbrche bzw. es wird sofort gemeldet wenn die Uhr ausserhalb der Reichweite ist.
Das Tragegefhl ist sehr angenehm. Hier macht sich das Gewicht, das Armband und auch die Rckseite positiv bemerkbar. Sie trgt sich gut und man merkt gar nicht, dass man etwas am Handgelenk hat. Sie strt im Alltag berhaupt nicht. Der Tragekomfort ist definitiv besser als bei der Version mit Lederarmband. Auerdem ist das Armband viel robuster und weniger Schmutz- und Schweissanfllig.
Auch die inneren Werte haben sich im direkten Vergleich verbessert. Manchmal klar ersichtlich und manchmal fast unbemerkt.
Was sofort auffllt sind drei Dinge:
1. Geschwindigkeit – hier luft alles schneller, geschmeidiger und ohne erkennbare Verzgerung.
2. Display – auch hier ist alles heller und klarer.
3. Akku – ist zwar je nach Nutzung unterschiedlich, bei mir sind es jetzt aber im Schnitt 4-5 Tage bei aktiver Nutzung. Bei der alten Uhr waren es 2-3 Tage bei gleicher Auslastung – also eine klar Verbesserung.
Mir gefllt die neue Uhr wirklich gut. Genial finde ich immer noch die permanente Anzeige die fast kein Akku verbraucht. Hier sieht man die Uhrzeit auch wenn der Akku so schwach ist, dass keine smarte Nutzung mehr mglich ist (und das weit ber die 4-5 Tage hinaus). Das finde ich richtig gut, weil so wenigstens die normale Nutzung noch mglich ist und man nicht eine vllig sinnfreien Uhr am Handgelenk hat.
Optisch zwar nicht meine Lieblingsuhr mausert sich die Uhr technisch langsam aber sicher an die Spitze – Apple htte wahrscheinlich mehr Werbung und mit mehr Zahlen geprotzt – aber dafr sind deren Uhren auch im direkten Vergleich teurer …
Wer also eine wirklich gute Smartwatch jenseits von Apple und Samsung sucht, kann diese hier wirklich einmal ausprobieren …
Packaging
Outwardly, the packaging of the watch was very similar to the previous versions, a high-quality box containing the watch, instructions, and charger, all packaged with care to ensure a flawless product on delivery.
Watch Design
As expected, this iteration of the Pro 3 series is stunning. The older Pro 3 was very good looking, but this Ultra version excels with additions such as the slightly bevelled edge and almost flush glass, which is Gorilla Glass in this version — very handy and rugged. The materials of the watch feel very durable, which you would expect from the Military Standard 810G specification.
The black bezel still maintains a nice reflective quality, with numbers etched on it in 5-minute intervals. The bezel does not rotate, but this is expected as neither did the previous model.
The side buttons both feel robust and are unobtrusive even when bending the wrist (if you wear it on your left wrist like I do, some watch buttons can get pressed when bending the wrist)
The watch seems the same thickness as the than the earlier Pro 3 model, but does come in approximately 7g heavier at a total of 68g. That said, it still feels light and is very comfortable.
Strap
The supplied strap is a 22mm quick-release band, which is made of Fluoro Rubber and is super soft to the touch. It has a decent amount of flex, without feeling floppy, and at the same time it feels very durable.
Display
This is where the Ticwatch really shines. Using the clever 1.4″ dual display, the majority of the time the watch will be using the low-power always-on LCD screen. This screen shows the essential information like Time, Date, Step count, and battery. By either clicking a button, or tilting your wrist, this activates the AMOLED display which then allows the full smart watch functionality, with responsive touch screen and a host of apps at your disposal.
The LCD display is great for viewing in light areas, and is perfectly readable in direct sunlight, which a lot of smart watches cannot do. In a change to the previous version. the LCD can utilise a coloured backlight mode, which is a nice addition.
The full AMOLED display is bright and vibrant with excellent viewing angles, and dark blacks.
Apps
Most of the apps are fairly standard from a Google Watch OS standpoint. All the regulars are there like Google Fit, Phone, Memo, Calc, Alarm, Stopwatch/Timer, Weather etc. With the benefit of access to the Google Play store to download thousands of other apps.
My most used apps such as Google Keep, Strava, Spotify all worked flawlessly.
Another big plus is Google Pay, which is fully supported on this watch. I programmed the bottom hardware button to be a single press to Google Pay (though by default the double click also does this), and I have made numerous purchases using it, as it is SO convenient. In case you’re worried about security, if using Google Pay you must set up a PIN or pattern, which activates every time you put on the watch. Therefore, if the watch was taken from you, Google Pay would not function without it.
In terms of the Tic built in apps:
I have TicSleep monitoring my sleep, as the watch is comfortable enough to wear to bed
TicZen and TicBreath can help de-stress
TicHearing can be used to measure the volume of an area
TicPulse is used to monitor my heart rate, which I have set to do 24/7 monitoring. Accuracy seems consistent with the Pro 3 and Pro 2020 models.
TicOxygen measures blood oxygen levels. I also have this running 24/7.
TicExercise has all the modes you would expect from an exercise tracking app — Run, Walk, Treadmill, Cycling, Freestyle, and many more including Swimming due to the IP68 water resistant rating. It can also upload to Strava, which is my exercise hub of choice.
A new addition to the Tic apps is Hearth Health, which can 24/7 monitor your heart activity to detect Irregular Heart Beat such as AFib.
All of this gets pulled into the TicHealth app which gives a nice overview of all the above functions.
TouchScreen and Hardware
The screen is responsive to touch, I would say more responsive than the previous models. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 4100 platform, which is a powerful applications processor and ultra-low power co-processor, performs admirably and combined with the 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM it never seems to slow down or show any signs of lagging.
The usual connectivity that you’d expect such as Bluetooth 5 and 802.11b/g/n Wireless, and a whole host of GNSS technology (GPS+Beidou+Glonass+Galileo+QZSS)
Battery Life
I was pleased to see that the battery life of this new model was as good as if not better than the previous one, even when I was using the watch with so many features running, such as the 24/7hr and blood oxygen, and also wearing it to monitor sleep. From first charge, I was able to eek out 3 days, including 2 nights. I haven’t used it in essential mode, which shuts down all smart performance, limits you to the LCD screen and only monitors steps, but this mode should allow up to 45 days!
UI
The UI on this feels buttery smooth, with no lag that I can detect. All touches are recognised, and no delays between presses and apps opening.
Charging
The watch includes a discreet magnetic charging clip. It clicks into place effortlessly and allows the watch to sit at a slight angle, which would be nice for a bedside if you’re not wearing it to bed along with TicSleep.
Conclusion
So in conclusion, this is a superb and very comfortable smartwatch that I can see myself wearing for years to comeOr at least until the next model comes out!
The Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS is probably the best WearOS watch on to date. The watch housing feels and looks great. I really like the design of the watch.
It also features two displays, one OLED screen and a second LCD, comparable to old Casio watches, thus the battery life boosts up to 4 days with my heavy usage.
WearOS 2 is super smooth, thanks to the custom tuned Snapdragon Wear 4100. There is no lag and very few loading times.
Fitness tracking is also top notch, it’s accurate and with build in GPS and GLONAS perfect for working out without the smartphone. Thanks to YouTube Music you can enjoy your tunes with offline listening.
Overall I love this watch, in my humble opinion, it’s the best WearOS watch.

I programmed the bottom hardware button to be a single press to Google Pay (though by default the double click also does this), and I have made numerous purchases using it, as it is SO convenient. In case you’re worried about security, if using Google Pay you must set up a PIN or pattern, which activates every time you put on the watch. Therefore, if the watch was taken from you, Google Pay would not function without it.
In terms of the Tic built in apps:
I have TicSleep monitoring my sleep, as the watch is comfortable enough to wear to bed
TicZen and TicBreath can help de-stress
TicHearing can be used to measure the volume of an area
TicPulse is used to monitor my heart rate, which I have set to do 24/7 monitoring. Accuracy seems consistent with the Pro 3 and Pro 2020 models.
TicOxygen measures blood oxygen levels. I also have this running 24/7.
TicExercise has all the modes you would expect from an exercise tracking app — Run, Walk, Treadmill, Cycling, Freestyle, and many more including Swimming due to the IP68 water resistant rating. It can also upload to Strava, which is my exercise hub of choice.
A new addition to the Tic apps is Hearth Health, which can 24/7 monitor your heart activity to detect Irregular Heart Beat such as AFib.
All of this gets pulled into the TicHealth app which gives a nice overview of all the above functions.
TouchScreen and Hardware
The screen is responsive to touch, I would say more responsive than the previous models. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 4100 platform, which is a powerful applications processor and ultra-low power co-processor, performs admirably and combined with the 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM it never seems to slow down or show any signs of lagging.
The usual connectivity that you’d expect such as Bluetooth 5 and 802.11b/g/n Wireless, and a whole host of GNSS technology (GPS+Beidou+Glonass+Galileo+QZSS)
Battery Life
I was pleased to see that the battery life of this new model was as good as if not better than the previous one, even when I was using the watch with so many features running, such as the 24/7hr and blood oxygen, and also wearing it to monitor sleep. From first charge, I was able to eek out 3 days, including 2 nights. I haven’t used it in essential mode, which shuts down all smart performance, limits you to the LCD screen and only monitors steps, but this mode should allow up to 45 days!
UI
The UI on this feels buttery smooth, with no lag that I can detect. All touches are recognised, and no delays between presses and apps opening.
Charging
The watch includes a discreet magnetic charging clip. It clicks into place effortlessly and allows the watch to sit at a slight angle, which would be nice for a bedside if you’re not wearing it to bed along with TicSleep.
Conclusion
So in conclusion, this is a superb and very comfortable smartwatch that I can see myself wearing for years to comeOr at least until the next model comes out!
– OVERALL: The watch, as the previous version, is a great watch, with great battery life and very powerful. has many features that allow monitoring your activity with very high accuracy. It has Wear OS and I really hope will be updated to the 3rd version.
– DESING: I like the rounded shape and I still think is the best shape for a watch. The glass is now upper and at the same level as the crown which allows you to have a better experience with the gesture. Even I love this design, I would like to see some differences from the next version.
– MILITARY standard and new CROW: The watch is now certificated with MIL810 and I can tell you seems very durable and robust. I love the new crown knurled.
– NEW LCD BACKGROUND LIGHT: You have now the possibility to change the background light of the LCD screen. more than 9 colors and at the moment I use the orange one.
– GOOGLE ASSISTANT is working as per any other android smartwatch, but I think in TicWatch is very well implemented because can be activated with OK google or just with a double tap on the first button. At the moment I can’t use to call any contact. I think is a problem related to google that I have in my previous one as well.
– GOOGLE PAY: I have set it up immediately and I am using it every day when I get public transportation. It can be activated with a double click on the second button and immediately you can use it.
– BAROMETER: I haven’t yet found any app pre-installed that I could use this functionality, but I have used a 3rd part app from playstore.
– CHARGING TIME: I think this version is using a new charger that allows charging faster than the previous one. It’s about 30% in 25 minutes makes for a full charge below 90 minutes. Additionally, the watch does not get hot during charging and charging takes less time.
The watch arrived in a neat and tidy box.

Warrenty information
This is the first Pro watch I’ve bought since I got the original Ticwatch Pro as a christmas present in 2018. This watch is a fantastic upgrade compared to the original Pro. The watch is easy to set up using the Wear OS app.The charging clasp easily connects to the watch magnetically. The good thing about this clasp compared to the original Pro is that it is a good but longer and is a smaller clasp so will be easier to put in a tech pouch. Another thing I liked was the style of the charging cable, rather than be round it is a flatter cable.
I only needed to charge the watch once. The smart watch mode lasted around 3 days for me which is what we are told it will last. A couple of features that helped make that happen was turning the always on screen feature off, turn off tilt to wake and turn on the tilt to lightup back light. This is a fantastic new feature that gives a back light to the essential screen so you aren’t wasting the battery on the smart mode tilt to wake or always on display. The find my phone feature is always helpful when like me sometimes you put your phone down and can’t remember where. It simply makes the phone ring like a call coming through
I’ve used the watch for a week now. I have really enjoyed having the Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS on my wrist. Mobvoi have updated the strap and it feels very comfortable. You can also change the strap with any 22mm watch strap. The interface runs very smoothly. You can easily change the face of the watch if you so wish either using the watch, Wear OS app or on the Mobvoi app.
Notifications on the app can be read by swipping up and to get rid of the notification swipe it to the right. When you get an email, message or WhatsApp you can do one of four things, reply with an emoji, draw an emoji, send one the automated responses or you can send the reply you want by typing it on the watch.
The TicExercise app is fantastic. I used on the run I had. You can also use it when swimming and cycling. The heart rate monitor is on the back of the watch. TicPulse app I found measures the heart rate very accurately. The app is easy to use just clicking on app and tap to begin heart rate monitoring. One of the new features I like is the Mobvoi launcher, this sets out the apps 2×2 rather than the standard Wear OS launcher. New health features include IHB/AFiB Detection and Fatigue Assessment
The watch can also control the media you have on your phone. You can control it by pausing, skipping track and volume control. You can also connect any bluetooth enabled headphpones by going into Connectivty, bluetooth and clicking on avaible devices to add the headphones. As there is 1gb of ram onboard the watch you can also download music from Spotify or Youtube Music so if you’re going for a run or walk you do not need your phone with you.
Having had the watch for a week now and I am delighted with it, overall the features on this watch make it one of the top Wear OS smart watches on the market. In the next Pro watch I’d like to see Mobvoi bring in wireless charging given that Samsung has been using wireless charging in their watches for some time.
kommen wir erstmal zu den technischen Fakten:
Prozessor: Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100 (4 x 1.7 GHz – nicht der ganz neue 4100+!). Plus dem untersttzendem Mobvoi-Dual-Prozessor-System.
Speicher ROM: 8 GB / frei Verfgbar ~4,5 GB
Arbeitsspeicher RAM: 1 GB
Abmessungen: 47 x 48 x 12,3 (mm)
Gewicht: 41g
Farbe: Matt-Schwarz
Material: Edelstahl und hochfestes Nylon mit Glasfaser
Armband: Fluorkautschuk (austauschbar), 22 mm
Batteriekapazitt: 577 mAh
Haltbarkeit: IP68 – MIL-STD-810G-Standard – US-amerikanische, technische Militrnorm
Bildschirme: wieder mit dem bewhrten Dual-Screen-System:
1,4-Zoll-Display AMOLED + FSTN Display (Flssigkristallbildschirm), diesmal mit neuer, benutzerdefinierter, farbiger Hintergrundbeleuchtung! Das Display hat dabei eine Auflsung von 454 x 454 Pixel und einer Pixeldichte von 326 PPI, es ist ein Touchscreen mit einer Anti-Fingerabdruck Oberflche, mit neuestem Corning Gorilla Glass.
Natrlich sind auch wieder NFC zum kontaktlosen bezahlen (ber Google Pay), WLAN: 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, Helligkeits-, Beschleunigungs-, Herzfrequenz- und Lagesensoren sowie die Sauerstoffmessung mit an Bord. Genauso wie ein Kompass und ein Barometer (zur Hhenmesser) und GPS fr gleich 5 Satellitensysteme (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS und Beidou).
Gerade der neue, verbesserte Pulssensor kann nun arrhythmisch Pulsschlag erkennen (IHB, unregelmiger Herzschlge / Herzrhythmusstrung) und bei erkanntem Vorhofflimmern sogar eine Benachrichtigung senden!
Aber damit nicht genug. Mit dem neuen Pulssensor kann die Smartwatch euch anhand der sog. Herzfrequenzvariabilitt (HRV – die Vernderung der zeitlichen Abstnde zwischen 2 Herzschlgen) Eure Mdigkeitswerte oder auch Energieniveautrends anhand von Analyse jedes Schlagintervalls anzeigen.
Schade ist dan dieser Stelle nur, dass man mit Einschalten der “Herzrhythmusstrung-Funktion” die 24 Std.- lutsauerstoffmessung verliert, denn beides geht leider nicht. Sobald man das eine einschaltet, wird automatisch das andere abgeschaltet.
Und natrlich sind die ganzen Messwerte und Anzeigen sowohl des Pulsmessers, als auch des Sauerstoffmessers nur als Gesundheitsreferenz zu sehen und sind kein medizinisch-diagnostischer Standard oder ersetzten nicht den Gang zum Arzt. Das gilt aber fr jede Smartwatch egal welchen Herstellers.
Aber die Ergebnisse sind zumindest ein guter Richtwert und dienen bei mir einfach als grober Richtwert und reichen fr eine Tendenzauswertung aus.
Das Trainingsmodul wurde auch ordentlich “aufgebohrt”. Mittlerweile kann man ber 20 professionelle Trainingsmodi auswhlen. Vom Schwimmen bis zum hochintensiven Intervalltraining (HIIT), bei allen sportlichen Aktivitten zeichnet die Uhr alle Gesundheits- und Fitnessdaten in Echtzeit auf. Automatische Sporterkennung inklusive (Gehen, Laufen, Radfahren)!
Auch ein Mikrofon und Lautsprecher sind wieder verbaut, so dass man mit dem Google Assistenten WhatsApps oder andere Texte diktieren und automatisch in Text bersetzen kann. Im Grunde kann man mit dem Sprachassistenten alle Dinge tun die man auch mit einem groen Google Lautsprecher tun kann. Nach dem Weg fragen, sein Smarthome steuern, das Wetter abrufen, eine Nachricht verschicken oder einfach eine Frage stellen… Die Mglichkeiten sind unendlich. Und dank des schnellen Prozessors ist die Spracherkennung flott und zgig umgesetzt. Die auch vorhandene 24-Std-Lrmberwachung funktioniert nur in den Fllen, wenn man sie von Hand startet. Aber das bentige ich eh nicht …
Ein wichtiger Punkt ist die Betriebssoftware und die wichtige Frage, ob die Uhr das sptere Update auf WearOs “3” auch bekommt..
Auch wenn hier noch das Betriebssystem Wear OS 2 (aktuellste Version) installiert ist, so ist Mobvoi einer der wenigen Hersteller, die schon die Zusage von Google haben, dass sie das Update auf WearOS 3 (welches im nchsten Jahr erscheinen soll) auch tatschlich bekommen werden. Zumindest fr die neuen Uhren mit dem Snapdragon Wear 4100. Sie ist damit zukunftssicher was Updates angeht.
Die Akkulaufzeit ist immer wieder das Entscheidungskriterium bei einer Smartwatch. Und da hat Mobvoi mit dem Dual-Screen-System ein echten Meilenstein entwickelt. Ich habe sehr viel ber Smartwatches gelesen und von Freunden gehrt/gesehen. Jede Uhr mit Wear OS hat Probleme ber eine Laufzeit von ber 24 Std. kommen (ohne Zwischenladung).
Und das schafft die TicWatch mit Dual-Screen-System locker. Auch wenn sie schon lter ist und smtliche Features eingeschaltet sind (24 Std. dauer Messungen) und die Uhr ordentlich belastet wird. Daher kann ich diese Uhr nur jedem Empfehlen, der Wert legt auf Top Ausstattung, Top Verarbeitung und Top Laufzeit. Da gibt es nichts Vergleichbares!
Und dank des farbig zu gestaltenden, sparsamen Monochrom Hintergrunds, habe ich nun sogar die noch sparsamere Einstellung eingeschaltet, die die Uhr nur dann auf AMOLED freischaltet, wenn ich das Display berhre oder einen Knopf drcke. So hlt die Uhr nun tatschlich 2-3 Tage durch. Und das mit allen smarten Funktionen!
Ich habe schon meine TicWatch Pro 3 GPS (ohne Ultra) geliebt. Mag sie immer noch.
Die wenigen aber wertvollen Neuerungen sind jedoch fr mich ein erneuter Kaufgrund gewesen und ich habe es nicht bereut.
Somit fr mich ein klares Fazit:
Wer jetzt eine neue Smartwatch kaufen will kommt an der TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS nicht vorbei.
The watch arrived in a neat and tidy box.

It is more reactive in its interface and simple aspects like the app experience have changed for the better. I generally utilise it for its fitness aspects and found it responsive and it synced up well with the Google Fit and Mobvoi apps on the phone well and they were accurate for the distances run.
With the added GPS I found that it tracked the actual tracks of my runs through the hills a lot better with no odd routings.
Battery wise with heavy use it lasted 4 days before requiring a charge.
Overall a recommended product.
Kurzum, Sie ist einfach perfekt fr mich. Das Dual-Display ist fr mich das klare Alleinstellungsmerkmal dieser Uhr. Es ist dezent und zeigt immer permanent die Uhrzeit, Datum und den Schrittzhler an. Bei Sonnenlicht lsst es sich im Gegensatz zu anderen Smartwatches perfekt ablesen. Die Uhr kann jetzt im Gegensatz zum Vorgnger mit 18 unterschiedlichen Farben beleuchtet werden. Das darunterliegende 1,4 Zoll groe AMOLED ist absolut scharf und brillant. Das ganze wird durch Gorilla Glass geschtzt, Kratzer gibt es bisher noch nicht.
Die Bedienung ist flssig, Lautsprecher und Mikrofon sind vorhanden, genau wie NFC, womit ich problemlos mit Google Pay zahlen kann. Die GPS Funktion (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, Beidou) finde ich sehr praktisch, wobei man sich im klaren sein sollte das die Batterielaufzeit schneller zu Neige geht. Gut 3 Tag Laufzeit mit aktivierten FSTN-Dispaly sind fr die Uhr kein Problem.
Auf die ganzen Funktionen wie IHB und AFin Erkennung will ich gar nicht weiter eingehen, man kann sich mit Herzfrequenz, Blutsauerstoffsttigung, Schlafftracking usw. komplett berwachen lassen.
Ich persnlich finde die Uhr fr mich perfekt. Sie ist robust und das Design ist zeitlos, ich kann sie mit hunderten Watchfaces und Apps anpassen. Fr die Zukunft ist sie gut gerstet, das Update aus WearOS 3 soll demnchst kommen.
Mais voila que Mobvoi rcidive et sort sur le march la TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS. Aprs plusieurs recherches sur Amazon, leur site officiel et quelques forums, je me laisse tenter par cette dernire en ayant en point de mire que faire mieux que la S2 serait difficile.
Quelle erreur de ma part !!! Cette montre est bien plus que suprieure mon modle prcdent.
Dans un premier temps, le ressenti de fiabilit et de robustesse est au rendez-vous. Boitier en acier inoxydable, elle semble indestructible. Cette sensation est renforce par la certification MIL-STD-810G. Le bracelet fourni est quant lui simple mais trs confortable l’utilisation.
Le format de la montre est pour moi super, elle n’est pas plus grosse que ma S2 (voir photo).
Emule par le Snapdragon 4100 de chez Qualcomm paul par une puce du constructeur, la fluidit de la montre est poustouflante. Vous pouvez scroller d’un cran l’autre sans lag, de faon ultra fluide. La particularit de cette montre, c’est qu’elle possde 2 crans superposs. Le premier, une dalle 454*454 326ppi AMOLED qui est d’une fluidit sans faille, mais pour maintenir une conomie d’nergie rudement efficace, le second cran, faible consommation d’nergie (voir photos) prend le pas sur le premier et la magie de l’conomie de l’nergie opre. Ce dernier est super efficace, rtro-clair et qui donne en temps rel certaines indications indispensable lors des sances de sports (temps ralis, distance parcourue …).
Cela se traduit par une autonomie de 3 jours sans recharge pour mon utilisation (avec une course pied de 1h30 sur la plage d’utilisation sans recharge. Ma S2 actuelle tient tout juste une journe d’utilisation).
Cot applications de la montre, cette dernire est sous Androd Wear, autant dire qu’il n’y a rien redire pour moi puisque condition sine qua non d’une montre connecte.
Les applications Mobvoi sont incluses dans la montre est sont vraiment super. TicExcercice pour la premire est vraiment fournie et je vous invite lire le dtail :
https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B09GFH82JW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Aprs plusieurs sances de courses pieds, les informations fournies sont de trs bonnes qualits (GPS prcis (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, et Beidou grs par la montre) que j’ai compar avec mon gps GARMIN) intgre le dvers total, positif et ngatif, toutes les informations de distances et de temps et j’en passe. Un bmol : la fix des diffrents GPS est un peu longue. Quand vous sortez d’un btiment et que vous enclenchez votre appli TicExcercice, il se passe un peu de temps avant d’obtenir le positionnement GPS.
Egalement, le suivi cardiaque est pouss son extrme avec le contrle du rythme cardiaque sur 24H, la gestion de la saturation en O2… et j’en passe.
Enfin, chose que j’ai trouv super, c’est l’tude de votre sommeil par la montre. Application TicSommeil vous fourni des infos indispensables sur la qualit de votre sommeil.
Pour finir, je conseille galement de tlcharger l’appli Mobvoi, elle reprend en dtail l’intgralit des mesures de votre montre sur un tableau de bord journalier extrmement didactique et efficace.
Pour clturer mon test :
Ce que j’aime : qualit de la montre – fiabilit – fluidit – prcision – ergonomie – efficacit – autonomie
Ce que j’aime moins (si je veux tre prcis) : la fix des gps est un peu longue – le prix peut tre un frein pour des utilisateurs nouveaux dans le monde de la smartwach.
En dernier point : Mobvoi est une entreprise super srieuse qui ralise des produits de grandes qualits, je conseille trs fortement cette montre pour toutes les personnes qui souhaitent acqurir une smartwach complte, Merci Mobvoi.
Pour finir : je remercie galement Amazon qui a gr, encore une fois, la vente et l’expdition d’une main de matre. Efficacit encore vrifie merci Amazon.
L’orologio a dir poco spettacolare.
L’ho subito utilizzato per camminare in montagna. Ho attivato tramite la App TicExercise la modalit “Camminata in montagna”. Gps ed Altimetro precisi. Mi ha tracciato tutto il percorso senza nessuna difficolt compreso la frequenza cardiaca.
Tramire TicPulse e Tic Oxygen ho la misurazione del ritmo cardiaco e della saturazione di ossigeno nel sangue.
Lo standard militare MIL-STD-810G + IP86 promette un’alta resistenza agli urti, alla luce del sole, alle temperature estreme e alla pressione negativa. La cassa in acciaio inossidabile, nylon ad alta resistenza con fibra di vetro
L’esperienza d’uso intuitiva, ogni operazione viene svolta senza problemi ma soprattutto offre un’ottima autonomia
Da Avere!!!
Non si tratta di una rivoluzione ma pi di un aggiornamento di un ottimo prodotto.
Le differenze col precedente modello sono perlopi di ordine estetico e nel software.
Esteticamente la ghiera e i tasti presentano una piacevole finitura zigrinata che era assente nel modello precedente. L’assemblaggio sempre curatissimo e non presenta imperfezioni.
Lo smartwatch arriva in una confezione elegante e minimale. All’interno oltre all’orologio sono presenti dei manuali e il cavo di ricarica.
Come di consueto l’accoppiamento dell’orologio allo smartphone non presenta alcuna difficolt e avviene in tempi brevi. Dopo l’accoppiamento bastano pochi minuti per installare le applicazioni desiderate e configurare tutto. Oltre all’app WearOS necessario scaricare anche l’app Mobvoi, che terr traccia di tutte le statistiche relative alle attivit fisiche e al monitoraggio della salute. Tutti i dati possono poi essere condivisi con Google fit, strava ed altre piattaforme.
Come ormai normale per questo tipo di prodotti vengono monitorati in continuazione il numero di passi, la frequenza cardiaca, il livello di stress e l’ossigenazione del sangue. presente il monitoraggio del sonno (distingue tra sonno leggero, profondo e rem) e anche una funzione per misurare il rumore ambientale, che per non possibile attivare automaticamente.
Le novit di questo modello sono essenzialmente due: la capacit di rilevare la fibrillazione atriale tramite il sensore di battito cardiaco e l’analisi dei livelli di energia e di concentrazione. Fortunatamente non ho potuto testare il rilevamento della fibrillazione atriale, ma la misurazione dei parametri relativi all’energia e alla concentrazione mi sono sembrati attendibili.
Migliorata anche la qualit del microfono e dell’altoparlante per le chiamate, che ora possono essere effettuate senza difficolt anche in ambienti mediamente rumorosi.
L’autonomia, con tutti i sensori attivati, supera i due giorni, monitorando anche il sonno, grazie alla generosa batteria da quasi 600 mah.
Sempre presente il secondo schermo che mostra data, ora e livello di carica della batteria in condizioni normali oppure delle utili informazioni di riepilogo durante le attivit sportive. possibile anche scegliere tra 18 colori diversi per la retroilluminazione del display secondario, anche se non ancora possibile regolare la luminosit.
Da quando lo uso l’orologio si sempre dimostrato molto veloce e fluido, senza impuntamenti o riavvii. Questo merito di una buona ottimizzazione del software, unit a una generosa dotazione di ram (1 giga) e al processore Snapdragon wear 4100, affiancato da un secondo processore proprietario di Mobvoi che si occupa della gestione delle attivit a basso consumo e dei sensori.
Al momento WearOS presente nella versione 2.0. previsto l’aggiornamento alla versione 3 nel corso del 2022.
L’unico difetto che ho riscontrato qualche errore nella traduzione italiana dell’interfaccia, che verr sicuramente corretta con i futuri aggiornamenti.
In definitiva non posso che consigliare questo smartwatch a chiunque desideri ottime prestazioni, grande autonomia e un monitoraggio preciso delle proprie condizioni di salute.
Le caratteristiche principali ed i suoi punti di forza sono:
– Presenza di doppio display: uno sempre attivo in e-ink e display principale AMOLED che si accende a richiesta.
– Batteria della dura di quasi 3 giorni anche con tutti i sensori sempre attivi (rilevamento 24h di battito cardiaco, stress, saturazione e stato fisico e mentale).
– Funzioni principali per la salute: battito cardiaco, saturazione, stress, stato fisico e mentale, rilevamento informazioni del sonno, rilevamento battito cardiaco irregolare.
– Rilevamento automatico sport
– Certificazione IP68 per l’utilizzo anche in piscina
– Connettivit: Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi:802.11b/g/n, GPS+Beidou+Glonass+Galileo+QZSS, NFC con la possibilit di eseguire pagamenti tramite Google Pay.
– La scocca molto resistente e ben curata
– Monta il sistema operativo Wear OS by Google
Dopo averlo provato posso dire che proprio un ottimo smartwatch prestazionale e funzionale, i sensori danno rilevazioni precise e costanti, il GPS molto rapido ad agganciare il segnale, il sistema di pagamento NFC funziona alla perfezione.
Confrontandolo con la versione precedente ho notato un aumento delle prestazioni e della reattivit del sistema.
Acquistato con spedizione Mobvoi data indisponibilit Amazon e sono rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso. Spedizione tracciabile DHL con notifica di consegna. Tempi lavorativi bassi.
*LOOK & FEEL*
Non sembra un 46mm, leggerissimo (appena 41g) e al polso sta persino su una mano piccola come la mia. Il materiale del cinturino incredibilmente piacevole alla pelle, portato in continuazione e non mi ha dato minimamente fastidio.
Look premium ed elegante, ma anche in linea con la sua natura da fitness tracker. Poi infinite le combinazioni di Watch Faces.
*WearOS*
Una piacevole sorpresa, la prima volta che mi tuffo in questo mondo, essendomi trovato sempre bene con il brand TicWatch. C’ veramente tutto. Dalla possibilit di sentire la musica con Spotify, alle mappe (utilissime per chi come me ha bisogno delle indicazioni sul motorino) e qualsiasi tipo di tracciamento sportivo. Poi data la presenza del doppio display e dell’AOD, si pu sempre utilizzare in modo passivo. Veramente fantastico!
Inoltre dato lo speaker e il microfono, si pu utilizzare per sentire l’assistente e fare chiamate direttamente dall’orologio.
*AUTONOMIA*
Qui il punto che lo rende unico, rispetto agli altri smartwatch che a malapena arrivano a serata, qui si fanno tranquillamente 4-5 giorni. Poi se tenuto in modalit essential, passa anche un mese.
Questa cosa permette di utilizzarlo anche durante giornate avventurose e non aver bisogno necessariamente di portarsi dietro il caricatore quando si in viaggio.
*CONCLUSIONE*
Soddisfatto e veramente trovo piacevole l’utilizzo di tutti i giorni, il prezzo decisamente in linea con ci che offre. Super consigliato!
I have had this watch for almost a week now – I bought it as an upgrade to my Ticwatch E2, itself a fine watch, but not in the same class. The Pro 3 Ultra is comfortable to wear and looks good, but it’s only when using it that it really shines. The UI is fast and responsive – that sluggishness that WearOS has been accused of in the past is gone, with instant reaction to any gestures. The battery life is another thing – the battery charge lasts over two days, and that’s with me playing with it quite a bit, as you do with a new toy. The display is bright and sharp and the secondary low-power display is clear, even when wearing driving glasses with polarising lenses which make my phone screen look black.
Of course, the watch also has plenty of sensors and the second button allows you to select from a huge list of rather specific exercises – it even has skating, table tennis and taekwondo! It has heart rate and SpO2 monitoring as well as steps. If you feel you need it, it has a new constant heart monitor to help detect arterial fibrillation; it’s turned on separately but be aware that turning it on drains the battery – it only lasts a day with this turned on, although it does warn you of that when enabling it.
All in all, it’s a really good watch – I’m delighted with it.
Consegna Amazon veloce e puntuale: una garanzia. Lo ho aperto per configurarlo, e con l’app dedicata ci ho messo pochi minuti: molto facile!
Felice per me e, sono certo, utile per mio padre.
Im berblick: Was wurde verbessert?
Im Vergleich zur Pro 3 fllt auf da das Design grundstzlich gleich ist und nur Kleinigkeiten verndert wurden. Die Lnette ist nun griffelt und nicht glatt und das Armband ist nun aus sehr angenehmem Silikon. Das Armband vom Vorgnger war etwas unangenehm auf der Haut, dieses nicht.
Auerdem gibt es nun die Mglichkeit die Farbe des zweiten Displays zu verndern, was mich sehr gefreut hat. Jetzt fehlt nur noch dass man die Optik des Display verndern kann.
Ein weiteres Features ist die Akkulaufzeit. Diese ist extrem gesteigert worden, so dass trotz der Aktivierung aller Sensoren etc. mindestens 3 Tage drin sind. Deaktiviert man das 24 h Tracking und Co. sind locker 10 Tage drin.
Die Performance ist auch etwas besser geworden und ein paar schne Ziffernbltter sind dazu gekommen.
Insgesamt gefllt mir die Uhr nun noch besser und finde sie ist ein sehr gelungenes Update zum Vorgnger!
It’s a great upgrade. I have Ticwatch pro 3 and now I bought this one. Watch looks amazing, I like wear os, feels comfortable and I think it’s one of the best looking smartwatches. Battery is OMG 3 days min. Amoled screen is beautiful, buttons are perfectly clicky. Love i
This is my second TicWatch Pro , I’ve had TicWatch Pro 2020 1GB before and new TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra 2021 brings lots of improvements especially when it comes to battery life ,performance ,built quality.Screens (there are two built in to save power) are fantastic and very responsive ,GPS signal is acquired very quickly when running ,new Wear Os ,lots of new sports modes ,fast processor etc.Amazing product from Mobvoi ,as well as their customer support ,I could highly recommend it !
Batteria potente e di rapida ricarica. Dura due giorni . Per un android tanto
Molto rapido e veloce quando interagisci. Tra le app ti muovi senza attese.
Sport a tutta forza. Ha tantissime misurazioni di sport compreso nuoto.
Contapassi battito e saturazione precisa.
Disegno riuscito perch sta molto bene su braccio. Non molto spesso. schiacciato e ha molto stile.
Cinturino resistente. La cassa in acciaio a prova di bomba. Ha il massimo standard di resistenza.
Se dovessi consigliare uno smartwatch Android sarebbe al primo posto.
Unica nota da migliorare il prezzo ma se volete qualcosa di serio fa al caso vostro.
In presenza di sconti o campagne promozionali sicuramente un best buy.
Venia del Ticwatch Pro 2020 y si lo cambio es por la medicin del O2 en sangre y la brjula, dos nuevas funcionalidades que estn muy bien para la gente que le gusta hacer deporte, adems este es IP67 y lleva la certificacin de grado militar que el Ticwacth 3 normal no lleva y mi Pro 2020 si, y eso hizo al final decantarme por la compra
Adems, lleva el Snapdragon 4100+ y 8 GB de almacenamiento interno, que se notan muchsimo, la batera tambin la han mejorado, en cierta manera esta todo mejorado
El Pro 2020 ya tenia una muy buena autonoma pero este con el doble de batera y encima con mejor pantalla, procesador mejorado y un OS mejor adaptado tiene buena pinta, aunque habra que aadir el consumo de los sensores
La pantalla muy buena, no se nota que hay una encima de la otra como pasaba en el Pro 2020, y es menos tosca
Y luego esta el acabado, las correas de estos relojes eran bastante normalitas, pero la de este 3 Pro GPS Ultra es una pasada, echo de menos el bisel cermico, pero este tampoco tiene mala pinta, adems queda mas plano y menos tosco
En General una gran compra y con ganas de quever nos traer en el futuro la marca
I’ve been wearing this watch for a few days now and it feels and looks premium. It should be for the price tag, but I can’t help feeling impressed every day by the build quality.
In these first few days I’ve still not had to charge the phone out of the box, that says everything you need to know about the battery life. My older smartwatch would barely last a day! Will be really interesting to see how essential mode goes. This extensive battery life is mostly down to the FSTN screen which I think actually looks cool and at a flick of the wrist it lights up this second screen. Also you can change the colour of this FSTN screen, purple is my favourite so far!
As a qualified referee I run a paid app called Refsix. This app puts the watch through its paces as it is always on and stays bright. You also have to interact with the interface throughout the game multiple times, after the game it lost around 25% charge which is brilliant compared to the 75% charge I was losing on my previous smartwatch.
The general usability is slick and noticeably quick, the menus and swipe features are rapid yet feel smooth. It felt like the first time I went to a high refresh phone.
The quality of the Ticwatch graphics, menus and images are very impressive, some of the apps do need a facelift however, specifically Google Pay, looks incredibly low res for some reason?
Speaking of Google Pay I’ve never had a Google Pay watch and whilst this isn’t a new feature it works and looks cool doing it (I think).
I finally have a watch I can workout with, work with and look decent when out and about.
I much prefer having an always on display, it is a watch after all. So I thought the dual display from Mobvoi was a genius idea as it lets you have a normal watch most of the time, and all the smart features you want at the touch of a button. This watch has gone a step further in providing a live seconds counter and a back light, which you can now further personalize with a choice of colours. This is the way forward for all smartwatches IMO.
The battery life is fantastic, you easily get 3 days out of a single charge which means you don’t have to remember to bring the charger if you go away for the weekend. I’ve not really had any need to use the Essential mode, but with normal everyday usage, even with 24-hour heart and oxygen monitoring enabled 3 days is realistically achievable.
The performance is really good, anything I asked it to do was smooth and fluid with no delay. The Mobvoi dual processor system makes it noticibly faster than the Pro 3. The screen is wonderfully clear either indoors or out and it’s range of exercise apps make it a great choice for outdoorsy people.
I’m really looking forward to the release of WearOS 3 next as it’s been confirmed that this watch will get the upgrade. In summary, I’d recommend this watch to anyone, it doesn’t just claim it can do things, it actually does them all incredibly well.
Perfect option for those who are looking for a robust watch with multiple advanced sensors, including barometer and five different global navigation satellite system. Location, speed and distance is accurately monitored. In general, health and sports monitoring sensors do their job and are quite useful.
The phone is really easy to set up and to connect to the phone. The magnetic charger has a similar size to a standard USB cable. The watch battery can really last for days and it can be charged in few hours. The FSTN LCD enables to extend the battery for longer and it keeps the display cool with multiple backlight colours.
I really do not regret my purchase.
General impressions – A nice smartwatch that feels like its been built to last, has all the key features available out of the box regardless of the brand of your phone and an impressive battery life.
Features – Great, runs Wear OS which is my favourite operating system for smartwatches, currently running Wear OS 2 but understand will move to Wear OS 3 soon. Unlike other smartwatches no features are locked behind a paywall, I don’t own a Samsung Watch because of their habit of locking features unless you have a Galaxy phone. This watch doesn’t care what phone you own, it still does what it needs to do. The UI is very nippy and responsive, short video of me flicking through menus attached.
Because it uses a shared, well-established platform there are a load of watchfaces available which vary from ones that look like old watches to “Ironic” ones like my preferred”Twelveish” watch face that you can see in one of the pictures. In addition to the “active” watchfaces there is a battery saving one that kicks in when you are not actively using the watch for anything and displays time, date and step count.
Two physical buttons one the side have a satisfying clunk one of which takes you to the app menu or homescreen (depending on context) and the other is programmable so could take you to a specific sitness feature you use often or to a screen to set timers while cooking.
Build Quality – Sturdy, the watch is not heavy but it does have a nice weight to it, doesn’t feel cheap, feels like its built to last. The Sports style strap that comes with it is grand but its a standard watch strap fitting so you can swap in and out to your own taste.
Battery – Excellent, I have all the bells and whistles turned on (continuous heart rate monitoring etc) and even with the extra battery drain that comes from messing around with a new device its still easily two days between charges (which are very quick) so three days with normal use seems very likely.
Fitness features – This is not the main reason I wear a smartwatch but the automatic exercise tracking seems to work really well, using the sensors to determine your activity. Works with its own app but can also be linked to Google Fit which means integration with MyFitnessPal etc.
Delivery: Quick
Set-up: Easy
Feel: Super Comfy
I’ve had ticwatches for several years and they just keep getting better. The GPS is very accurate and tracks well a new IP rating means I don’t need to worry about it whilst doing the dishes and the watch still is lightweight and maintains a clean look.

I am really pleased with this watch. I was worried that the watch might be of substandard quality or slow to react through menus like some other smart watches – but I was very wrong.
On opening the nicely presented box you get the watch itself, a USB charger cable (no power adapter) and a simple user guide which explains the basic functions.
My first impression was that the watch itself is beautifully made, the bezel is very well machined and this gives it a quality look and feel. The silicone rubber strap is soft and overall the watch is really comfortable on the wrist. As you can see from my photos the watch is large in diameter but once on its not too big (my wrists are fairly small). The watch itself is quite thin compared to a lot of smart watches so it doesn’t feel bulky, or like your going to catch it on passing doorframes all the time.
Once you connect the watch to your phone via the WearOS app its all very simple to setup and I was done in just a few minutes.
This watch is no slouch – it performs far better than any of my other smart watches. Its quick to call up menus and go between apps. The screen is a big leap forward it has two modes awake which is colourful and vibrant (seem to be a very high resolution) but even when in rest mode you can see the screen is still bright both modes are easily seen even in direct sunlight.
Battery life is good too as expected and it also charges quickly.
There is an array of TicWatch and Google apps for fitness, wellbeing and health and I love changing the watch faces to suit my mood or activity.
In summary don’t be in any doubt about buying this watch, its a great performer, its comfortable to wear and imo looks better than many more expensive watches.
