      I would recommend COROS over a Garmin as far as valuable bang-for-your buck smart sports watch. The comfort factor of the COROS Pace 3 is far better than a Garmin EPIX 2.0 or their new Fenix 7X Pro. For example, those larger Garmin watches giggle around my wrist too much when I run. One my primary reasons for running is to stay fit, healthy, and avoid obesity. I don't like the feeling of anything giggling while running 7.8 miles per hour 🤓

    There should be more consideration about whom these watches are for. For instance the comparison to g shock and it's lap button. Well g shock is a tactical watch. The focus is different. There's a lot of health focus on smartwatches across the board, but it appears that their trying to gear towards music or gps.

      An interesting point. As for a smartwatch for music, yeah, Apple & Samsung cast a large shadow over TicWatch.

It was better then the TicWatch 3, and perhaps with more fine-tuning over the next nine months Mobvoi will release an amazing TicWatch 6 in 2024🤞

      They sent me a voucher to let me upgrade after the battery on the Pro 5 had died. In the e mode there's a separate setting to let the watch not blink into your face during the night, deselect tilt wakeup and you now have to press the side button to light.

      ​@@PeterHerget So just because he lightly criticized your awful video, he must have a hidden agenda. You're a real Sherlock, girl, congratulations.

      Yes, it is a bit much… I am able to score discounts, often wait for gadgets to go on sale, and some of the smart wearables were free media samples from vendors.

    Yeah sorry no Google assistant...this watch never happened IMO...it's a paper weight...and would be a complete waste of money for any sucker buying it. Mobvoi needs to hang it up and bow down to Samsung and Apple and pack it in

      Mobvoi has some serious market share and carved out a nice niche for themselves. I don't see them going anywhere. I have HIGH hopes for the TicWatch 6
