Why you should buy the Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS

There is a lot to love about the TicWatch Pro 3. It’s a large, chunky smartwatch with a 1.4-inch display and 12.3 mm thick casing. It has the look of a rugged sports watch and the IP68 dust and waterproof rating to back it up. The Pro 3 can last for up to 3 days on a single charge, with all the sensors on, and Mobvoi says it can last up to 45 days in its Essential Mode. For most of us, though, just having the hybrid screen’s secondary FSTN layer engage instead of the AMOLED for the always-on display will stretch the battery here far beyond what you’d see out of a Pixel Watch or Galaxy Watch. Then there’s built-in GPS, a heart rate monitor, stress monitoring, sleep tracking, fatigue assessments, and more than 100+ workout modes — as far as hardware goes, this thing has it all.

On the software side of things, the TicWatch performs like your typical smartwatch. On-device notifications work great, Google Pay is functional, and thanks to the built-in mic and speaker, you can take calls and listen to music straight from the watch. It’s worth noting here that the Pro 3 Ultra is still awaiting its update to Wear OS 3. It was supposed to land earlier this year, but Mobvoi was forced todelay the update, noting that it needed more time to get the software to work on its proprietary hardware.

You get a high-end wearable with all the performance and features you could want, along with that lovely dual-layer display, for just $210. But you better act fast; midnight’s a-comin'.
