    I had the 3 pro and I never knew it was to get an update SEVEN MONTHS ago and its still not here. So...yeah WearOS 4 coming out this year .. good luck with PRO 5 getting a update. It is odd no one is talking about that. Great review though

    Wow, that alternate display (monochrome) is FABULOUS! That's all I want when I'm out on a run; I don't need all the colors, I need readability! And the fact that it can change based on your heart rate zone might be one of the coolest things I've seen on a watch. Being only three months in to my Pixel Watch, I'm glad this isn't yet available with LTE support, as I'd be SOOOOOO tempted! Thanks, Des. Enjoyable, as always.

      Be aware the Mobvoi do not care about supporting their products. This watch will likely get very few if any software updates, with Wear OS 4 on the way this is bad. Do not expect this device to ever get OS4 or any other features it does not include out of the box.
      Also don't trust the waterproofing rating as Mobvoi devices tend to leak and Mobvoi usually won't honour the warranty for water damage.
      Really just get another brand. Mobvoi have some nice hardware features, but their quality is erratic, and their software support is awful.

    I had a ticwatch s2 and three ticwatch pro 3 watches. From my experience when mobvoi says something is coming take it with a pinch of salt. The ticwatch 3 was sold as getting wearos 3 but they never delivered. So don't expect to get the external hr support or google assistant. Although the last one is strange because I had google assistant on the pro 3.
    Also mobvoi build quality is really bad. I went through three pro 3 devices because they are not waterproof at all.
    So happy with my garmin fenix now. Won't touch a ticwatch again.

  • @Helixium08

    Never trusting Mobvoi again or buying their products ever again. They said wear OS 3 would come to the 3 Ultra and it still hasn't with no updates on progress or anything for years. Useless company.

    • @shadowskyimpact
      @shadowskyimpact ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Another add to this. With WearOS 4.0 on the horizon, you may feel like you are already behind by the time you pick one up. I have serious concerns with Mobvoi and their ability to update any products to the latest software. Since they run a reskinned version of WearOS to begin with, they may not have the will to spend their development dollars to meet consumer needs!

    Love your stuff. However, there are a few more watches utilizing the updated Wear OS...Tag Heuer, Montblanc, and Citizen. While the Tag and Montblanc are likely not a huge target audience, they should be mentioned. Montblanc and Citizen have brutal battery life while Tag does a good job with the battery draining Wear OS.

  • @nanaarhin5567
    @nanaarhin5567 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I have a feeling this might not sell much cos most of TicWatch's customers are angry cos they never got any security or software update after October 2021. And whiles wear OS 3 has been available for long, the company is slow at updating the current wear OS for the Pro and Ultra Pro

  • @jimswadling8138
    @jimswadling8138 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Thanks for the excellent review. For health reasons having an accurate HR is essential to me. I currently use a Forerunner 245 plus external HR strap. Before I added the external HR the 245 diverted into cadence lock on every run, so frustrating. So that makes the Ticwatch P5 a nogo for me. I do like what they've done with the dual display and the smart watch features look great, but if it falls short on HR all the subsequent metrics are useless. I'm now leaning towards Garmin Venu 2 Plus which accepts HRM strap but is lacking in Firstbeat running metrics (I really like the recovery time on my FR245). Any case I'll wait to see what the new Samsung and Google Pixel watches bring to the table later this year. Am I missing any other candidates in the mid-range? Accurate HR and Amoled screen are my must haves.

  • @Thomas-wx7uf

    The only thing I have learned from my Tic Watch 3 was - never again a Mobvoi watch...no updates no support. Although I have to say that I am a person who isnt satisfied with all smartwatches out there and their poor battery lifes....so I will stick to a fitness watch until this problem might be solved in some years.

    You forgot to mention the other Wear OS 3 watch from Mobvoi. The Ticwatch Pro 3 was released around 2 years ago with the promise of an update to Wear OS 3, so surely it must have been updated by now?
    Oh hang on, my bad. I just checked and it seems that Mobvoi never bothered to make good on that promise. They just left their customers hanging and released a new watch rather than release the update they said they would.
    I suppose the lesson here is that you can't trust Mobvoi to support their products after release. Stay clear of this watch if you care about software updates.

      @tamunosakijimet2253 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It’s only a watch it should be fine for the next three years and by that time it should be due for an upgrade. It has all the latest and greatest now and it’s not going to fade in the next two years. It will get security patches but software updates I am not sure, but don’t forget that the American govt is making it hard for many of these Chinese companies to buy software. We can’t just blame mobvoi when we know what’s going on. Just my opinion.

Also had a nap yesterday noon for ~1 hr while on the smartwatch mode and it didn't record my sleep.. Is there anything that I need to do for the tic watch 5 pro to record my sleep automatically?

    Such a good review with many details, thank you!
    I have some questions for you:
    I currently have the TicWatch Pro 3, and I use it to record when I run, and it syncs it to Strava. With the Ticwatch Pro 3, doing so will give some inacurate numbers on Strava because of the different expectation of sampling rate. To fix that, I have to go to all of my runs in Strava, and manually change the "type of run" to "race", and there is no way to do it automatically.
    So my questions are:
    1) Is there the same issue with the TicWatch Pro 5?
    2) Is the issue solved with the "High performance" GPS profile?
    Thanks!

      It's probably not going to get it because it's not compatible with Qualcomm chip sets unfortunately thanks to Google. I don't know why Google is basically screwing over all their partners besides Samsung but it's driving me away from the platform entirely. I want the dual screen and voice assistant and that's not an option unless I stick to my current ticwatch pro 3. If I can't get both those things I'll probably just switch to amazefit so I can get a couple weeks where the battery life.

    Too bad WearOS doesn’t also support iOS like Garmin and Coros do. Definitely limits choice for iPhone users 😮

    • @DesFit

      It's really just an issue of compatibility where WearOS is meant for Android and Apple WatchOS is meant for iOS. Garmin and COROS have a proprietary OS which can have cross compatibility.

      The choice is Apple and their unwillingness to let anyone have a slice of the pie. They continuously change their os to make sure that they ARE incompatible with competing devices so if you want a true smartwatch (which Garmin and Coros don't) you MUST buy Apple's product, no one else. They've done it with smartphones for years. Why do you suppose it is so difficult (impossible?) for an Android phone to have iTunes capability? Don't blame Google and Samsung for Apple's greedy monopolistic structure.

    Don’t buy it. I have the Ticwatch pro 3 pro. They promised updates but the last security update is back to 2021. No support. Nothing. It’s a pity.. so beautiful watch with no support no updates. Never again

    No android assistant…..this watch never happened. Epic fail on the part of mobvoi out the box. Keep it Samsung and keep it simple. Mobvoi is way to far behind the curve to compete with the likes of Samsung and Apple, Google had to find this out the hard with the the Pixel watch…an epic fail on Googles part. Same thing will happen with this watch as well. No assistant onboard makes it a dumb watch not a smartwatch

    Will never buy anopther garbage Tic Watch. My Pro 3 GPS never got any updates past Oct 2021. No Wear OS 3 update as promised despite having the most capable processor on the market. Strava no longer supported due to missing Wear OS 3 update. Google Assistant broken, can't make calls or send messages. The power button has now failed and I've gone back to Samsung. Mobvoi will happily take your money and abandon it's customers. Worst smart watch company out there. They flood TH-camrs with free product and paid endorsements to get you to buy their garbage product.

    One of the biggest parts of the value of a product is the support that the company offers after purchase - here Mobvoi fail catastrophically! Broken promises, lack of security updates and closing forums where users are looking for help and feedback! I have a pro 3 ultra but will never buy from Mobvoi again because they give the attitude that once we have your money we don't care!
