Prior to the Pro 3, I always separated my watch-wear between everyday and fitness use. This is because most fitness watches (circa my Garmin) were ugly. I am not into square-faced watches. The Pro 3 is the first watch I have worn for both fitness and everyday use. It has been an economical game-changer for me. I have no need for a “fitness” watch anymore. I can save my money for other purchases!
Between my three-watch lineup, the Pro 3 excels in:
- Battery life. I went on a 5-day vacation (safe and socially distanced) and forgot my charger. My two other watches would have been dead after two days. The Pro 3’s Essential Mode kept my watch alive and still tracked my step-numbers. After the five days, upon returning and charging, I saw the watch still had 72% of its battery! Awesome and amazing. The dual-display is great for a quick, or longer, look, and helps retain battery life (even when you make the mistake of forgetting your charger).
- Fitness related activities. Outside of battery life, fitness is the reason I purchased the Pro 3. I no longer need a separate watch to track my workouts (e.g. running, walking, etc.). Distance measurements are in-line with my Garmin watch. I gave the watch to my wife to track her laps in the pool and it accurately tracked the number of laps in her workout. I appreciate the all-in-one fitness features. We use a mixture of Google Fit and the Tic fitness apps. Both are good on the watch as well as the phone.
- Waterproof rating. As mentioned above, my wife can use the watch to track her swims. For myself, and my desire to use one watch for daily and fitness use, I can have a workout, go for a run, then rinse the watch of sweat, (I only rinse with water), and continue to wear. If you are worried about waterlogging the watch, it will clear itself of water in its speaker.
- Speed. This watch is faster, more responsive than my C2, and definitely more responsive than my Garmin. I am not an engineer, but I chalk it up to the better processor.
- I am new to the health aspect of smartwatches, i.e. sleep-tracking, HR monitor, daily reminders to walk, breathe, the O2 monitor, etc. I have nothing to verify the monitors against, but the watch definitely knows when I am pushing it. For instance, during my sprint runs, I will receive a notification telling me my HR is high. Makes sense to me. I appreciate the reminder to walk (as I sit all day), and I use the TicBreathe and TicZen apps to remind me to consider my stress levels. It is helpful, especially during these strange times.
The Pro 3 is an excellent everyday watch for fitness/daily use and wear. Its waterproof rating means I can exercise and rinse the watch. It can be taken to the pool and track your laps. The Pro 3 is fast and responsive (better processor). The display is crisp and clear - it can clearly be seen throughout the day, under all conditions I have experienced (sunny/grey/foggy/night). It looks and feels good on the wrist. It helps me with reminders to consider my stress and sleep levels. The Pro 3 is a great watch!

I've owned the Sony Smartwatch 3, LG Watch Sport, Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 4G and now the Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3. Of each of these watches, the TicWatch Pro 3 wins the prize for GPS connection speed (and maintaining a connection) and accuracy. Now, since this is not a Garmin tracker watch (I've owned a basic one of those too), the accuracy won't be close to comparison because Garmin's primary purpose is GPS tracking. So, of all the smartwatches I’ve owned, this one is also the best for GPS run tracking. It really wins the prize for just about everything else as you'll soon read...
I'll get the deltas (or the stuff I thought could be improved) out of the way first.
1) Like the Pro 4G, and maybe this is an industry standard going forward, a charger plug would be great to have rather than guessing if the charger I have laying around the house is suitable and won't blow the watch up if it is left plugged in too long. I get that different countries have different plug configurations and for cost consideration, they don't include one. It's just a drag.
2) The "rubbery" finish of the band seems to be prone to scuffs. The band itself looks great and the scuffing is only visible if you specifically look for it. It is replaceable with a 22mm band of my choosing which is a great plus.
3) I see the blood oxygen sensor is a "bell and whistle" that may be a response to a certain fruity watch including it on their latest watch offering. (The Apple commercial for it even has people in space saying it has a blood oxygen sensor! How many of us are in that situation??) I really don't see the need for it. Maybe the uber athlete has some use for it or those really concerned about COVID... but the average user to me would have little use for it.
4) This is not a knock on the watch or its software.. but a huge negative on Google as Google Play Music no longer is compatible with Wear OS… as it is being moved to the Google cellar of has-been software. What has replaced it in the google-sphere is Youtube Music… but there is no Youtube Music app yet. So, my youtube music subscription is useless for this AND I can’t listen to music without my phone attached to me and use all the extra storage space given to me on this watch. Shame shame google!
5) I'm not happy with the new charger. Wireless would be great, but I think the charger that came with the Pro 4G was better than this one. It comes with a USB-A on one end with a proprietary connector on the other end that magnetically connects to the watch via some pins on the watch. This connection comes off easily if you pick up the watch while it is charging. The charger on the pro 4G was kinda like a case that the whole watch body fit into. That design seems more robust than this one. See the pics. The large rounded one is the Pro 4G charger and the smaller one is the Pro 3 charger.
The Awesomes and Exceptionals!
1) I love that it is lighter, thinner and less intrusive on my wrist compared to the Pro 4G. It is very welcome and comfortable.
2) GPS! GPS! GPS! I use the GNSS app to test this feature and compared to all the previous watches I've used, this one connects the fastest, is the most accurate, and stays connected during my runs. I ran with both the TicWatch 3 and the Pro 4G (without assist from the cellular signal). The Pro 4G lost connection soon after it connected and drained the battery about 20% trying to connect again. The TicWatch Pro 3 stayed connected and only sipped about 2% from the battery during my 1.5 mile run. I used the TicExercise app (that connects directly to Strava btw.. another huge PLUS) to track the run on both watches. The GPS tracking on the Pro3 was right on while the Pro 4G... because it lost connection was way off. See my video of the GPS connection speed on GNSS.
3) Battery Life. Compared to early Wear OS watches, the battery life of this watch is phenomenal.. thanks to the LCD screen that is on all the time and the new processor that is said to be more efficient. I have Wifi, 24 hour pulse tracking, BT, tilt to wake, touch to wake, auto detection of activities enabled. I once had the blood oxygen sensor enabled for all day recording but didn't really see the need for it. What I've found over the last several days is that I can get 2.5 days battery life. I don't plan on testing the "essential mode" battery life.. although my experience with the Pro 4G is that it is phenomenal in that mode.
4) Software. I love the two rows of apps on the app drawer. That is a new thing compared to the Pro 4G. The selection of apps overall is very good for Wear OS.
TicZen-- this is a stress measurement app that can be set to automatically measure stress levels throughout the days and alerts you when your stress is too high… which then sends you to…
TicBreathe-- an app that helps reduce stress with measured breathing exercises. Quite helpful!
TicSleep-- this app uses all the sensors that you let it use to measure things like sleep efficiency, time in each sleep stage, blood oxygen level during sleep (I guess this is useful to see if you stop breathing during sleep… some people do this I hear), pulse during sleep, etc. All the info is then transferred (with your permission, of course), to your mobvoi account and displayed on the Mobvoi app on your phone where you can look at your sleeping history.
TicExercise-- I believe this is the bread and butter of this watch capability… With TicMotion turned on, the watch can detect what kind of exercise you’re doing and start tracking it. I had this on when my son started a tag game in the house. It sensed I was running around the house and started tracking…. and then transferred the activity to Strava. During a road run, time, distance, pulse, calories, speed, pace, # of steps, altitude change, and of course GPS data are tracked. The different exercises available to be tracked are walking, running, swimming, rowing, elliptical, trail running, hiking, and yoga.
TicHearing--it records the decibel level of the noise around you. This is probably used in the ticZen app as well.
VoiceMemo-- This is a handy recording app. It transfers the memo to your phone and provides a transcript of the recording at your request. It doesn’t transcribe automatically.. you have to push a button to make that happen. My test transcription was right on.
4) Watch faces. There are MANY MANY to choose from that are free. And there are MANY MANY MANY more to choose from if you want to pay for them. Some pay watch faces were designed by Mobvoi specifically for the Ticwatches.
5) Phone calls on the watch- When it is connected via Blue Tooth to your phone, you can answer calls while speaking into the watch and hearing the caller on it. Very nice to not have to reach for my phone. The normal notifications and ability to accept or reject calls via the phone work flawlessly.
6) Customer Service... this isn't part of the watch itself but it helps to know that an email to customer service is responded to in a very timely manner. This is my experience anyways. They are very responsive.

During a road run, time, distance, pulse, calories, speed, pace, # of steps, altitude change, and of course GPS data are tracked. The different exercises available to be tracked are walking, running, swimming, rowing, elliptical, trail running, hiking, and yoga.
TicHearing--it records the decibel level of the noise around you. This is probably used in the ticZen app as well.
VoiceMemo-- This is a handy recording app. It transfers the memo to your phone and provides a transcript of the recording at your request. It doesn’t transcribe automatically.. you have to push a button to make that happen. My test transcription was right on.
4) Watch faces. There are MANY MANY to choose from that are free. And there are MANY MANY MANY more to choose from if you want to pay for them. Some pay watch faces were designed by Mobvoi specifically for the Ticwatches.
5) Phone calls on the watch- When it is connected via Blue Tooth to your phone, you can answer calls while speaking into the watch and hearing the caller on it. Very nice to not have to reach for my phone. The normal notifications and ability to accept or reject calls via the phone work flawlessly.
6) Customer Service... this isn't part of the watch itself but it helps to know that an email to customer service is responded to in a very timely manner. This is my experience anyways. They are very responsive.

Para um usuário que nunca teve um smartwatch tenho alguns prós e contras
Contras ;
- não e culpa do relógio e sim da tecnologia que parece não prosseguir com a tecnologia e seus avanços
- quase 100% dos apps são de customização e saúde, não tem quase nenhuma variedade
-achei que teria mais liberdade para personalizar o relógio por ser ANDROID. porém, só consegui mudar o watchface até o momento
- você não consegue escutar áudios do whatsapp mesmo tendo saída de áudio no relógio
- existem apps PAGOS que liberam a saída de áudio para escutar áudio (mas estranhamente não dá pra gravar áudios)
- a bateria é incrivelmente duradora no modo essencial. Mas no modo padrão, dura entre 2/3 dias.
- a segunda tela, ou "modo essencial" e como um "economia de bateria" que quando está em 5% ativa automaticamente ou pode ser ativo de forma manual.
- sinto que poderia ter uma forma de tirar os apps que estão aberto em segundo plano (sim, os apps ficam aberto em segundo plano.)
Pros;
- o sistema de captura de ritmo cardiaco funciona incrívelmente bem
- acabamento lindo (sério, e muito lindo. )
- usando por 3 dias eu não senti travar em nenhum ponto
- já tomei 2x banho com ele e não tive nenhum problema a respeito de água. (Ip 68 incrivellll)
- notificação precisas, nunca tive problema de sem querer sair da notificação (problema esse que tenho até no celular )
- sistema de conectividade preciso com o celular
- modo essencial dura incrivelmente bem
- sistema se NFT preciso e rápido
Apesar dos apesares, não me arrependo de ter pagado caro pelo meu primeiro smartwatch. Gostei muito e não penso em trocar tão cedo, me sinto muito confortável e está me ajudando pra caramba em coisas que eu preciso. Apesar de não ter muuuitos apps (poderia ter ao menos um ifood da vida, um aplicativo da Amazon para Alexa, coisas básicas, sabe ? Mas parece que tudo que é essencial é pago na playstore para wear os.)
El reloj es muy bueno. Es fácil de usar, su uso es bastante intuitivo y con el instructivo de inicio rápido lo es más.
Con la aplicación de Mobvoi y Wear OS instaladas en el celular se pueden hacer varios ajustes tanto de caratula del reloj, conectividad, manejo del asistente, administración de las notificaciones que muestra el reloj, entre otros.
Hablando de las notificaciones, al inicio llegan todas las notificaciones y uno puede incluso responderlas (depende de la aplicación porque algunas no lo permiten).
También el reloj vibra y hace sonido (configurable) cuando reciba una notificación o llamada. Además se pueden responder las llamadas y hablar en ellas desde el reloj porque este tiene un microfono también. Y contestar el teléfono desde la pulsera es algo que funciona muy bien.
El reloj igualmente tiene servicios de google, el cual tiene un apartado dónde se puede ver cómo está el día, el asistente de google y las aplicaciones (tiene su propio play store).
El asistente de google funciona bien, esperaría que fuera más detallado pero eso es tema de Wear OS más que del reloj en sí.
El reloj puede medir oxigenación en la sangre, ritmo cardiaco, pasos, calidad de sueño. Esto en conjunto hace que las aplicaciones fitnes funcionen cuando empieces a dar una vuelta sin si quiera decirles que empiecen a revisar la actividad (esto es porque puedes permitirles medir tus signos vitales en segundo plano).
El tema de la batería también es muy destacable porque dura aprox 3 días con todos los sensores encendidos. No he probado sin sensores encendidos pero imagino que ha de ser duradero.
La batería carga muy rápido, en 1 hora aprox tenía 60% de batería lo que rendiría como 2 días así que el descargarse no es incómodo, eso sí, te tienes que quitar el reloj porque el cargador está debajo del reloj. Lo bueno también es que su cargador es magnético y muy fácil de conectar.
Por último, su rendimiento es muy bueno, es rápido todo el tiempo, no me ha tocado que se "trabe" o se haga lenta la experiencia de usuario.
Considero que es cómodo de usar todo el día. Si uno no acostumbra llevar reloj, solo dale un par de días sin quitarlo y te acostumbras. Es cómodo y a veces ni lo noto ahí.
Lo único malo que he visto hasta ahorita es que el asistente de google no responde al "hey google" a menos que lo configures en la app de Wear OS pero gasta mucha batería. Sin embargo, dejar presionado un botón se puede activar así que tampoco es una debilidad tan importante.
Por todo lo que ofrece este reloj y sus comodidades, yo opino que es un poco caro pero vale la pena

Por lo demás genial en todo, el mejor que tengo pero claro para correr o nadar no hay nada como el Polar Ignite pero claro solo hace lo que trae y el TicWhacth es casi un móvil, a destacar las alarmas que te trasmiten las app del móvil por ejemplo de aumento de temp de mi batería al cargar a 120W.
