The ticwatch pro 3 is amazing in so many ways. Fast, great looking hardware, slimmer, lighter. The display is awesome during the day. The problem is the display when it’s dark. VERY washed out, whitish haze. SO SAD!! I own the original and the lte version. They are awesome. This one is TERRIBLE in the dark. I’m so bummed but I guess I have to return it.

TL;DR: I have 3 TicWatches, this is my new favorite!I started off with a different brand smartwatch and because of the lack of WearOS, it couldn’t keep up with my needs, so I switched to Mobvoi with the S2 and loved it!Once the Pro 4G (really the Pro 2) came out, I knew I had to have it for the specs and the secondary screen. Upgrading from the S2 to the Pro 4G felt like doubling everything, faster speeds, more responsive, brighter screen with ambient sensor, and all day battery (my mixed use typically would get 2.5 days out of it).Now having seen there is a Pro 3 GPS, I needed to stay on the cutting edge and it’s again feeling like a doubling of performance. None of the apps feel any lag at all and things like animations just fly around the screen. The battery hadn’t needed a charge since the ~80% that it shipped with even after syncing the watch, installing system updates, and updating Google Play apps.The boot time and even the sync seems around 30% and 20% (respectively) faster. In terms of weight, I forgot I was wearing it several times already and the strap looks sleek but feels like soft leather despite being silicone. The body of the watch has a smooth matte texture and flows perfect with the strap and doesn’t feel like cold metal. The bezel is pulled back a little with the screen the same size as the Pro 4G, which gives you more room to swipe.The spO2 sensor, sound sensor, and stress tracking were things I didn’t know I needed until after using them. Speaking of, the heart rate sensor seems snappy compared to the Pro 4G. A needed feature that has been included too is the backlight in essential mode with a wrist flip.My favorite new watch face included would be Samurai (pictured) and I’m excited to see what new faces might be able to utilize the new sensors!

I’ve been so excited for the Ticwatch Pro 3, mostly due to the fact that it’s Mobvoi’s first watch with anything other than the Snapdragon Wear 2100 chipset, which is so many years old. I’ve owned many Wear OS watches over the years (original Moto 360, Moto 360 Sport. LG Urbane 2nd Edition LTE, Nixon Mission, Mobvoi Ticwatch Pro 4G). I’m an Android user (my wife uses and iPhone and Apple Watch), so I’ve watched with envy as the Apple Watch came late to the game and quickly improved it’s hardware and software, doing laps around Wear OS due to lack of substantial software updates from Google and hardware upgrades from Qualcomm. Luckily Mobvoi, Fossil and some luxury brands, have continued to provide options for the Android community.I finally received the Ticwatch Pro 3, and it looks great. It’s slightly thinner than the previous Pro’s, and lighter as well but with a bigger battery. So far, so good. I set up my watch like I always do, using the Wear OS phone app. Everything went smoothly. I still have my Ticwatch Pro 4G, so I can compare the two side by side. I have some settings I prefer to set, so I set those right away (Always on Display Off, Tilt to Wake off, Touch to Wake ON).Here is where things go south, and I don’t think this is a setting issue. I have no idea what’s going on. The watch wakes on it’s own without even a movement. My 4G doesn’t do this. I tried doing a complete erase and reset and it still does it. I fear that I will have to return it because this must be a defect in the watch itself. I will try to upload a video so everyone can see if they have the same problem. I think I narrowed it down to having Touch to Wake ON. If I turn that OFF, it stops waking on it’s own. Obviously this is not a good solution since many will want Touch to Wake ON.Again, I have loved Mobvoi and Wear OS for many years, but I think I made a mistake jumping on the Ticwatch Pro 3 so quickly. Hopefully bugs like this will be addressed soon, but looks like I will need to stick with my Ticwatch Pro 4G a little while longer.

This watch has everything you need in a WearOS Smartwatch and more. The battery is amazing, I’m still at 50% after tracking 4 hours of bike ride and the day is about to end. Highly Recommend this.

Possibly the best smartwatch yet in terms of battery, design, display and AOD.I have always been a Samsung guy, coming from Galaxy Watch 3, I was skeptical jumping ship.Read every possible review and complaints/issues online. Visiting the Mobvoi forum and reading the various problems reported by users theremade me back track multiple times, especially the charging dock issues.Did not want to order through their site due to long delivery dates and fallback issues.The skepticism lasted until the package arrived, one day later than promised due to Amazon’s negligence.PROS:1. For me a smartwatch is of no use if the time/display is not visible in direct sunlight. No, I’m not talking about the FTSN secondary display,Yes, It serves the purpose but the true AOD implementation on this watch is the best implementation ever.The ambient light sensor work even on AOD mode and adapts accordingly, making it visible everywhere.2. Snapdragon 4100 just flies3. Battery on AOD mode, full brightness lasted me 3 full days on first charge.4. The strap being plastic/silicone looks regal5. Being WearOS, choice of watch faces are abundant.6. Sleek design (Plastic + Steel) reminds me of my rooster alarm yesteryear childhood watch.CONS:1. WearOS is still work in progress, OK Google detection doesn’t work.(Nothing to do with Mobvoi/Ticwatch)2. The secondary display is not comfortable viewing indoors. Ticwatch Pro 2020 was better.3. Bluetooth v4.2 (nitpicking)4. Lack of a rotating crown or bezel (nitpicking)I’m still on my second charge, hope this watch lasts me a full 2 years of usage without any issues.PS:1. I do not use smartwatches for its fitness features and the first thing I do is disable them when I receive the watch.2. Huawei watch GT 2 46mm tempered glass fits perfectly (All images attached are with the tempered glass installed).3. No pairing issues on my Note 20 ultra.

Been using this watch for a week now and feel comfortable reviewing the same. First of let me start off by saying if you’re planning to buy this watch for purely fitness reasons, don’t. The resting heart rate is fairly accurate but as soon as you start working out and your wrist starts to get sweaty the heart rate monitoring goes for a toss. It takes time for the watch to give accurate readings again. I think it could be the transition from dry to wet, that’s what I have observed, and maybe this might be corrected just via a software update but don’t count on it. The spo2 readings I believe are accurate. The step counter I think is highly unreliable as well and that’s a fairly basic thing a watch should be able to get right. The positive is this watch is wear OS so it has a lot of app support. Also the Snapdragon 4100 chipset runs the os smooth. Have had no issues besides a few minor bugs. The dual screen helps with the battery life and is a nice touch. I could get 2 full days without any top up charge with continuous heart rate, blood oxygen and stress level on. The sleep tracking is a little unreliable. I primarily purchased this watch for using Google maps navigation while riding. Navigation isn’t as smooth and real time like in the phone and there are times when it gets a bit stuck but it gets the job done. GPS is captured fairly quickly so I’m guessing it’s something to do with saving battery, I might have to tinker with the settings to see if I can get it smoother but it’s not a deal breaker. It can handle your music playlist and phone calls including receiving and replying to messages. There is a speaker and mic inbuilt but it’s a watch don’t expect it to be crystal clear. Google assistant works fairly well. I’m giving it 3 stars as I feel this watch tries to do too many things and gets some things right and some key things (like fitness tracking) wrong. Also did I mention there is no compass in the watch. Why mobvoi felt not to include that in a premium watch beats me. The mobvoi app sucks big time, at least here in India. There is no ECG monitoring as well. For the premium price I think it should have been included. My honest suggestion wait another year for better 4100 chipset wear OS watches, many will be coming out soon.
