TicWatch Pro 3 GPS

I’ve upgraded from the Ticwatch Pro 2020 (TWP2020) which I have thoroughly enjoyed since I purchased one a few months back. I was very happy with the TWP2020, but when I heard that the TWP3 would be introducing the 4100 chipset, a larger battery with a 3 day extended battery life, and a backlit LCD screen (a feature which I really wish they had on the TWP2020), I had to jump on getting a new one. Increased battery capacity - I’ve spent the past week wearing this watch on at all times and only taking it off when it required charging. I spent the first 48 hours monitoring how the battery would last and I’d have to say their claim of 3 days of battery life held true. I have the watch using all the health apps and keep the watch on at night to monitor my sleep duration. After spending 72 hours with the watch, I finally charged the watch so that I could go through the next cycle. It’s quite nice not having to worry about waking up to a dead watch or having to charge it nightly. One thing that I have been doing is putting the watch on ‘Essential Mode’ before sleeping, which increases the Watch Idle time, but still tracks my sleep. Health tracking – I’ve primarily been using the new TWP3 to monitor my sleep duration, and it’s been interesting to see the quality of sleep I’ve been getting (good or bad). I have also been using TicPulse and TicOxygen, though I’ve never used a SpO2 sensor before, and it’s been kind of nice just to monitor my overall health throughout the day. If you’re not happy with any of the TicHealth-related fitness tracking applications they provide, you can always switch to Google’s suite of applications. 4100 Chipset – The performance of the watch has been great. The TWP2020 was a step in the right direction with the increased ram, but with the increased ram + the new chipset, the performance has been buttery smooth. Even the boot time for the new watch has improved. Aesthetics / Overall Quality – The TWP3 is sleeker and better looking when compared to the TWP2020. One note I will say is that the TWP3 is slimmer and lighter, but I actually really liked how the TWP2020 was in terms of overall size (I may be the only one who feels this way), and also the weight. I actually really liked how heavy the TWP2020 was because the weight made it feel more durable. But the TWP3 has been very easy to wear, and while the overall size isn’t all that much different, it does look much nicer. Though I will feel sad when I get rid of my TWP2020 because I’ve enjoyed it so much over the past couple of months. I do like the new silicone band the TWP3 does come with, but as many others do the same, I have several 22mm bands which I change out from time to time. The first week, I stuck with the TWP3 stock watch band, but on my second week, I switched to the hybrid strap the TWP2020 came with (I ordered 2 hybrid straps because I liked them so much with the TWP2020). The TWP3 display does have a slight display bezel around the screen (between the display and the physical watch bezel). The TWP2020 does not have a display bezel which made it look very clean, but for the TWP3 it does not bother me as much (as it does not outweigh the new upgrades). I just hope that they will get rid of the display bezel for the next iteration. Overall – I love it. I originally stopped wearing smart watches because I felt put off at the fact that I had to charge them nightly. But I’m really digging the fact that the TWP3 can last 3 days without a charge (up to 45 days if just using the Essential Mode). I do wish we could have some flexibility in customizing what gets shown on the LCD screen, but hopefully this comes in a future model. For now – I am very very happy with my TWP3!

I previously owned the Tic Watch Pro 4G. It was a good Wear OS, but it was not the “Best.” After the 2020 pandemic started, I started to learn and realize how crucial monitoring your vitals were. While the Tic Watch 4G had a variety of sensors to measure heart rate and more, other watches in this segment had more sensors and better tracking. When the Apple Watch Series 6 was announced, I looked to see if I could find a Wear OS that was comparable to it. Luckily, the Tic Watch 3 was announced with all the features I was looking for and more. FIT AND FINISH: I received the Tic Watch 3 not too long after release and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was thinner than the Tic Watch 4G. The thinness makes a significant difference as I used to hit the Tic Watch 4G against stuff all the time due to me not giving my arm enough clearance. With the Tic Watch 3, I have not had that problem at all. The Tic Watch 4G’s included watchband was extremely elastic and worried me that it would snap easily. The new Tic Watch 3’s band is far better and seems more durable. I was disappointed to see that the holder-shaped charger from the Tic Watch 4G did not make a return. Instead, a new clip-on-shaped charger with an inset head was included. The pinout for the two watches looks the same, but the chargers are incompatible with one another. BATTERY LIFE: During my first few days of use, where I was using all the features often, I got an extended 2-day battery life with enough charge left to take me into the morning of the third day. Under my normal “stop-and-go” usage, I was able to achieve 4-days with still a 50% charge at the beginning of day 4. My Tic Watch 4G would get 1-day under the “frequent use” and 3-days under my typical use, where it would barely last the third day. I would not be surprised if I only needed to charge my Tic Watch 3 once or twice a week. The sensors do use more power, so it will vary depending on how often you use those sensors. ESSENTIAL MODE / LCD MODE: The most notable feature of the Tic Watch Pro series, the LCD is one of the reasons why I recommend this watch over the competitors. While it does offer the benefit of saving power, I find it to be ‘essential’ for students and test-takers. While the rules are changing to prohibit watches during an exam, the ability to have a “dumb” watch on-demand is essential. One edge that the Tic Watch 4G has over the 3 is the fact that the 4G’s LCD had a brighter background. While the Tic Watch 3 now has a backlight to make up for its darkness, the old watch was more readable, and that I now must use the light during the day. I have included pictures so you can see the difference. The design of the new LCD is also far more attractive and includes more measurements that were usually unavailable on the old Tic Watch 4G. WEAR OS / SCREEN: The screen on the new Tic Watch 3 is brighter and more vivid. The improvements make daytime readability better than before, which was already great. Wear OS feels fast, and notifications synchronization is much better. My Tic Watch 4G had problems where it would not like to connect to Wi-Fi. The new watch has no issues connecting to Wi-Fi. The new launcher for the watch is better than the stock Wear OS launcher, but you can still revert to the earlier version if you prefer. I am disappointed to see that a scrolling crown still has not been implemented, but the touch screen works fine. The speaker is loud and clear and sounds as good as my phone speaker. The microphone is also better, and phone calls are well received. I have had no issues or glitches with the interface yet. GOOGLE FIT / TIC HEALTH / SENSORS: With the Tic Watch 4G, I preferred to use Google Fit over Tic Health, since both had supplied the same benefits, and Google Fit was more informative. Mobvoi has improved Tic Health significantly. Tic Pulse is a wonderful way to get your heart rate and see a graph without having to look for it. Tic Sleep is interesting. It can monitor how you sleep, analyzing the times you were lightly sleeping, in a deep sleep, in the REM state, or were awake. It also graphs your pulse and blood oxygen over your rest. The information was surprising to see. I believe it is a great app to use if you struggle to get a good rest. Tic Zen analyzes a variety of health data to give you a stress level. It is a little slow but informative. This feature will be useful for those who struggle with stress and want to see how they can improve their mental and physical health. Tic Oxygen is the Blood Oxygen Monitoring app. It takes like 10-20 seconds per reading, but it gives you a confident measurement. As we have seen from the COVID-19 outbreak, we must keep our Blood Oxygen Level above 94%. This sensor is the most useful sensor on any health wearable during this time. With consistent tracking, you can learn the warning signs early. Tic Hearing tracks noise level. I am not entirely sure that it is a needed tracking feature, but it exists and reports accurately. Tic Exercise is a great tool to help you record exercises and get relevant health data based on the activity selected. Tic Breathe is a breathing app that is comparable to the one available in Google Fit. It works well. Overall, I am impressed with the improvements that the Tic Watch 3 GPS brings! It does everything one could think of and more. In the past, I could only recommend Wear OS watches to those who were technical or could deal with small inconsistencies. I can now recommend a Wear OS watch to everyone and feel good knowing that it is just as good, if not better than the Apple Watch Series 6. I know this was a long review, but this watch deserves all the praise.

El reloj llegó antes de lo esperado (3 días) con envío express 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

I decided to risk it and order the watch. Even on aliexpress the price was around 980 AED. Surprisingly it's original TicWatch Pro 3 GPS. I was watching a lot of reviews so I would be able to tell the difference. Speed interface is lightning fast. If any of you got any problems with sync app it means there is something wrong with your phone. Everything works flawlessly. Got the updates and enjoying the experience.

This is a great watch the battery last about 3 days its has duel screens one colour and one black and white to save battery life .NCF works no problems so far using it

Ho acquistato il Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS su Warehouse / Usato - Come nuovo. Il prodotto è arrivato in ottime condizioni e appena acceso ha proposto l'aggiornamento a Wear OS 3.5 . L'orologio è molto bello e il dual display è davvero utile, unico neo l'autonomia che non supera mai le 2 giornate a meno di non disattivare tutte le funzioni. Se ci si accontenta di usarlo solo come orologio la modalità essenziale prolunga la durata di diversi giorni.

Love the watch double watch face. Will last for 2 whole days on a single charge with all the features running. Don’t like that some of the watch face that you like to have will cost you but some free ones are free.
