I was reading the comments while I listened and wondered why the unboxing got so many likes. Now I see why lol. Best unboxing. Next time I see it, I'll know they got it from you lol. Nice review for fitness junkies like me. 🔥
Ok. You have my full attention when you said you could connect it to an external heartrate chestbelt. Please be so kind and tell me: was it easy to connect and could a Garmin Hrm Dual also probably be connected? Yes i know it's not the best. But i am not pro runner :) Thank you in advance for replying.
I was able to connect it to the Garmin HRM Pro which is very similar without any issues. I think as long as it's bluetooth enabled you should be good to go. Thanks for watching!
Great job! I’ve been watching for this one. Spo2 at night option for sleep? And man - you continually perfect things - like the simple logo blurr/fade intro.
You can enable all day HR and SPO2 but it totally destroys the battery life. I personally don't find SPO2 data all that useful but I'm sure people with sleep conditions would. I will say that the SPO2 sensor on the Pro 3 seems WAY more accurate than my Garmins and repeatedly would pull 99%. My Garmin's always vary and can sway from 90-100% within seconds of eachother. Thanks for watching!
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful! Yeah, lots of tech-tubers looked at this watch and I'm glad I got to spend some time with it to cut through the fluff and see what it's actually capable of. I'm actually pretty impressed by it!
@@ChaseTheSummit I am really on the fence but am leaning towards getting it. How is the blood oxygen monitoring with it? As someone who has had Covid this is an important feature for me in order to be able to track that.
Great video! Love the content. I am planning to buy the Ticwatch Pro 3 ultra GPS, but I am not sure being an iPhone user if it would be a good idea. Can you please advise if I would be able to make and receive calls with my iPhone 11? Does Merge app works well as a connectivity tool between iOS and WearOS, considering now we have WearOS 3 is out in this watch?
very fun to watch review, im surprise to see what seems to be the only and most positive review of the tic watch. It look to be the best WearOS but not just the perfect training too which is sad that not any watch deliver all the feature you would love. Personnally heading toward GritX or Venue. GritX have a better look and is more sturdy but lack important feature Venue have.
Hey Chase the Summit I have a tic watch pro 3 in India and to my surprise they don't have a repair policy of it doesn't start. The discount they offer is already being offered on their website. So please dont promote them as a brand until they have a repair policy.
Trying to upgrade my vivoactive 3 with either this or the vivoactive 4. As long as the GPS and the heart rate data from the ticwatch 3 are somewhat close to garmins that’s good enough for me.
Yes it would. This is purely a limitation of the Suunto 7's "Suunto" app. I'm actually working on a Suunto 7 video as we speak so you'll hear more about that soon!
I'd say if you have a Samsung Galaxy phone the choice is easy. The Samsung Watch integrates more with those devices. For other phones, the TicWatch Pro 3 is a great choice.
Thanks for the review. I've ordered this watch, but I'd have some questions. How long can you run with it? I mean hours... Can you charge it while running? Because I also run ultramarathons occasionally.
Mobvoi doesn't advertise GPS on time but I saw a drain of around 8% per hour when using the watch while running. So I'd bet you'll get around 8-10 hours of GPS-ON time. That said, this number can vary quite a bit depending what apps you have running and how often the screen will turn on. Charging it while running would be challenging as it's a magnetic connection and can fall off. Hope that helps!
BEST. UNBOXING. EVER! The onboard speaker demo was awesome. Interesting product, and you're right; I'd never heard of it before. Sounds like a decent device. Great video!
Great review can you please tell me what functions can / can’t be used on iOS / IPhone I.e. can it take and receive phone calls can you use the stress function ? Thank you 🙏
You can answer phone calls on both IOS and Android but you cannot respond to text messages on IOS. This isn't the watches fault it's actually a limitation of Apples Ecosystem. Everything else on the watch works on both platforms.
I am new user for ticwatch pro 3. When I did a heart rate check, none of the sensor lights were on. should that be? If I use other fitness watches, they use light sensors.
I think you've got that right. The Wear OS platform gives the TicWatch Pro 3 a ton of flexibility in terms of what apps you can install. As others have commented you can download apps like "ViewRanger" that provide offline mapping capabilities along with a TON of other stuff like offline music. The Venu is certainly more catered towards the fitness crowd and can do SOME of the smart stuff but not all of it. Thanks for watching!
Personally I find it annoying. I'm sending my tw3 back because when I look at my watch I can't see my heart rate without tapping or clicking. Also, the watch faces are have so many details and difficult to see at a glance. Maybe my watch isn't as bright as it's supposed to be but I find I have to keep tapping the screen since it's only on for a couple of seconds. AOD isn't really always on either, I still have the default screen I have to tap through.
after 9 months, the Tic Watch Pro 3 overheated and stopped working only after going for a 10 min swim in a pool at surface level. Surface Level!! I've showered once or twice with it before with no problems. Now Tic Watch support is telling me it is my fault and will not replace under the 12 month warranty! this is terrible support. I did not go diving with the watch, only swam at surface for a few minutes as it IS rated to be able to do so.
It is a fraud. The oxygen and heart sensors stopped working just after two weeks I bought the Ticwath PRO 3 GPS. I contacted the Mobvoi support team and the answer was that wetting the watch wasn´t covered by the warranty and they only offered me a 30% discount on another product. This is clearly a scam or fraud.
TY for shearing. Seams to be my best option so far. Any 1 know if it has a tally app like golf strokes ? Also I need it to display my HR 24/7 without having to push a button. PLZ let me know if it can do these for me :)
About Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3, the company is from China, where are the data they collected will send to??? Since China Communist government are required any individual or corporate entity to cooperate with the China government to help intelligence gathering, what are they going to do with the bio metric data collect with the smartwatch????
I don't bother thinking about all that stuff. I'm not sure what value they'd find in my daily heart rate or steps haha. But if privacy is a concern for you maybe look into it further or reach out to Moboi directly.
This video _convinced_ me to buy it. I hope your channel will explode to 1Million Subs, super nice review! How does the watch band look in real? I feel like I dislike the band itself, but I guess you can switch it easily?
@@ChaseTheSummit No problem! Is it much better than the previous ones though? ticwatch pro 2020 has a better band on my oppinion (looks better, never held it though) I will probably wait a month before I order it, as the ticwatch pro 3 costs 299€ right now, but the fossil gen5 costs only 138€ on Amazon
Thanks for the great review. Earned a sub from me. 👍🏻 Had this watch a few days now and it's great. Two full days use with EVERYTHING turned on and still had about 20% charge when I put it on the charger. You're right through the analytics are kinda meh, hope a software update allows for better export. This 4100 chipset is amazing, and makes Wear OS actually useable. Gonna need a chest strap though for any proper heart tracking when exercising. Just like most watches, as soon as the sweating starts the readings are unreliable at best.
Would you use this every day? Did you compare it with the samsung qalaxay watch 3? I had the galaxy 3 for about a week and returned it? It just wasn't a polished smart watch. I really do think that the apple watch is the watch to compare to?
I don't wear it every day but I don't see why you couldn't. Unfortunately I don't have a Galaxy Watch to compare it too but I think they're pretty similar in terms of performance. The Ticwatch has great battery life for an OLED watch though. Thanks for watching!
Hi, may I know you said compatible with iPhone ? Like receiving message and call, can reply message or WhatsApp on ticwatch? Can receive call means answer that call on ticwatch, can it talk on ticwatch or just answer the call but talk on the iPhone like other wear os watch?
It's compatible with Iphone and you can receive calls and messages on the watch. However, you can't reply to messages. This is a limitation of the IOS platform integrating with Google hardware.
Can you make, talk and receive calls from the in built speaker and mic if connected to iPhone? Does Google Pay work if connected to iPhone? Great review!
How to use ticwatch GPS without connect the smartphone when running outdoor? Can I know do you running with/without the smartphone at the body? Because I can't use the ticwatch GPS if not connecting to the phone
The TicWatch has a GPS chip built in so it should work without your phone. You'll need to make sure that GPS is enabled in the settings. Hope that helps!
Nice video my speaker and microphone is not working how to fix it I can’t here any voice calls and also google voice respond thanks for the answers i just bought it 😊
Hi i just received ticwatch pro 3 GPS yesterday but there is no Call option in watch. I can take incoming call but i have to talk from iphone. Please advise did I receive fake watch.
The watch sensors stopped working within one month. Mobvoi tech support basically won't honor the warranty of you use soap washing your hands or shower. Check out reddit for all the complaints about the watch before buying.
@@ChaseTheSummit the funny thing is that it has a wash hands "with soap" counter. See below their customer service response after I answer yes to using it in the shower.

As long as you don't drop a weight directly on the glass screen I think it will hold up OK. You may end up with a few scratches but that's just character right?
@@ChaseTheSummit think I'm leaning towards the venu 2 ... But like you said the rabbit hole can still take me many directions. Thanks for the insight of all the watches and getting back to me. Much appreciated
I discovered that using Google Pay on Tic Watch Pro 3 requires screenlock/pin access for navigating everything on the watch, not just the Google Pay app. This is annoying because you need to keep entering your pin# every time you want to do anything with your watch apps, even if you're not paying for something. I wish the Google OS required the security pin# only when using Google Pay, the way Samsung Pay works on the Galaxy watch line (Tizen). I still haven't seen a UA-cam product review that caught this small but frustrating design flaw.
There's a bet you lose. I bought my first Ticwatch three years ago. I have since upgraded it and bought their ANC headphones as well. And it's pronounced "MOB-voy."
In regards to your quest to find a decent activity tracker for wear os, have you tried Sporty Go? I found it excellent- it has 6 data fields displayed at once. It would be great if you could do a review of it. I think it definitely deserves more exposure.
Which would you say is the BEST and most accurate watch for running in terms of GPS and heart rate accuracy? I currently have a Garmin 245 but considering the 945 mostly. But now I’m also considering the Fenix Pro, this watch and maybe the Apple Watch 6. Which would you recommend? Thank you and amazing reviews
Best and Accurate aren't really the same thing. For instance I like to wear the Garmin Fenix 6 and it's probably the least accurate in terms of GPS but has a ton of other functions I find valuable for my needs. If you're just looking for RAW GPS performance the best I've seen so far has come from the new Garmin Forerunner 745. That said, it's a $500 watch and the Garmin Forerunner 945 is currently on sale for $515 which has wayyyyy more features. the 945 is probably the best deal running right now!
Hi there! Your vídeo is great! It explains a lot of things that I had doubt. Tour conclusion is almost all that I wanted to know. The only thing that I want to know is about its performance with iPhone. It works well, or is there a lot of loss of functionality? Thanks very much! Regards from Brazil.
iPhone gets 95% of the functionality. What you don't get is the ability to respond to text messages directly from the watch. This is a limitation Apple has put in place to preserve their precious Apple Watch 😬
The best reviewers, hands down, are the runners. But that's a bummer because I really want something I can track my heart fitness through a variety of activities from yard work to yoga, tai chi, aerobics and swimming. I don't need to get calls or anything that my phone does. Those are nice I guess but seem to complicate things too much. I can put my phone in a fanny pack and use my watch to see how my respiration and heart rates through those activities and see heart zones and those kind of details and I'm pretty good. I do want a watch that's waterproof and I don't have to be concerned about swimming though. So deciding the best choice for $300 or less? That's the hard part.
The native exercise app doesn't have a pace alarm but there are plenty of third party apps on Google Play store that offer alerts for pace like "SportyGo"
Why do I get the feeling to stick with my Huawei GT2? It's alive for 14 days!!!!! It tells me my blood is okay. It wakes me up when needed..it plays my songs when wanted. I'm NOT going to look into apps on such a small display, why?? No, for that I use my phone. I shower, I run, I sleep, I live! ....it's always with me. Like my little Furby.
Ha! It's funny because I actually knew how to say it and only mispronounced it when I hit record... derp. Valid complaint... I'll do better next time 😬
You can use third party apps to export GPX files and pair to strava. The best I've discovered so far is the "Sporty Go" app which allows for external sensor connectivity, Stryd support, and also syncs with Strava! Thanks for watching!
Samsung smartphone users may be happier with a Galaxy watch. Most other Android users are probably better served with Wear OS and Ticwatch Pro is my favorite. If I did not already have one and a Garmin Fenix then I would consider a Suunto 7.
Have you tried install Polar Beat or Polar Flow apps? Did they work with the watch heart rate sensor? I need to know! Love your reviews! My favourite gear channel.
GPS battery life isn't advertised but I was seeing around 8% per hour of battery loss during activities. It will vary depending on which app you use, how many services are running, and how often the screen comes on. It can download offline maps if you find the right app to do so. I found "view ranger" works quite well on Wear OS. Thanks for watching!
Totally botched the pronouncing of this brand. Derp... I actually wrote down “Mobvoy” to remind myself. Nah, trust me you don’t want to see the raw footage. It takes me an hour to get through a 10 minute video 😂
I run through GPS accuracy in the video. It's pretty good. I can't say I'd recommend it over a Garmin if GPS is what you're after. This is more for someone who wants a Smartwatch first and fitness watch second. Hope that helps!
You mentioned that it has a compass, are you sure about that? When I searched online it mentioned that it didn't have the magnetic sensor... Great review btw
@@ChaseTheSummit Yeah! I spelled it wrong though, Ankiwear is an app that lets you go through Ankidroid's flashcards on your watch. It worked on the Ticwatch Pro ( www.reddit.com/r/Anki/comments/dm2swf/just_casually_reviewing_using_ankiwear_on_my/ ), but the app is known for not working on all wear-watches based on my google search
I wish every unboxing like this 👌

Wonder if it would be possible to pair external sensors with Suunto 7 if using the adidas app? 🤔 Just a thought since it also rocks wearOS.

Thanks for the feedback. I mainly review stuff in a "sports/fitness" aspect but I'll keep this in mind for the future.
@@ChaseTheSummit Thanks, can't find a single video on YT
Nice data from the run comparing GPS and hr!
Thanks!
Muito gastão de bateria.
Thumbs up for the unboxing 😁👍🏻
Thank you!
Best review till this day about this watch man!
Thank you!
Hi i just received ticwatch pro 3 GPS yesterday but there is no Call option in watch. I can take incoming call but i have to talk from iphone.
Please advise did I receive fake watch.
The TicWatch Pro 3 has limited functionality with iPhones for full calling support you need an android phone.
@@ChaseTheSummit thank you
I’m your new subscriber. You deserves more
The watch sensors stopped working within one month. Mobvoi tech support basically won't honor the warranty of you use soap washing your hands or shower. Check out reddit for all the complaints about the watch before buying.
Yikes! Mine is still working but I’m sorry to hear you’re having issues.
@@ChaseTheSummit the funny thing is that it has a wash hands "with soap" counter. See below their customer service response after I answer yes to using it in the shower.

Best unboxing ever.
Haha! Thanks
Great review. Very informative 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for watching!
Mob-Voy lol
Crushed it 😬
Thanks man.. finally someone who helped me decide ..great video 👌
I wish all unboxings were like that.
Ha! Right?
it's my understanding you can also charge it wirelesly?
Nope, no wireless charging on this one
Hi. Pretty good video and thanks for it😊
I have this smartwatch and i like it. But unfortunately it's impossible to download and use whatsapp on it 😕😔
Bummer! Thanks for sharing.
Have you tested it in gym? It hold up with dumbells and other exercicies?
As long as you don't drop a weight directly on the glass screen I think it will hold up OK. You may end up with a few scratches but that's just character right?
Best unboxing ever! Love it
Dang, your video is looking sharp. Great work buddy!
Thanks dude! Trying!
Its pronounced "Mobvoy" not "Mob-vi-oh" . Still a great review though, not hating.
It's funny. I practiced saying the brand name prior to filming and still screwed it up 😂
@@ChaseTheSummit It seems to be a trend, i just watched another really good reviewer do the same thing lol. No biggie :)
Prob a dumb question but how do you put runtastic on the phone?
Just download the app from your app store
does the ticwatch pro 3 count calories while sleeping?
I tracks calories 24/7 so that does include sleeping.
After looking at 945 ,745, vivo4 , venu 2 lol.....I'm now here
Ha! It's a rabbit hole!
@@ChaseTheSummit think I'm leaning towards the venu 2 ... But like you said the rabbit hole can still take me many directions. Thanks for the insight of all the watches and getting back to me. Much appreciated
Very informative. What is the GPS battery life in his; curious for long hikes?
Matthew Edler they don’t state in the documentation but I lost between 5-8% per hour in GPS mode while using the heart rate sensor. Hope that helps!
Any idea how to change the weather tile/widget from F to C?😅
System settings should effect it?
Try to change Region/Country on your Smartphone from USA to Canada
"Mobvio" > Mobvoi lol
great review !
lol yeah... Talking is hard.
Which would you recommend for an iPhone user ticwatch pro 3 or Apple Watch se?
Probably the apple watch.
@@ChaseTheSummit what’s your reasoning?
What's the GPS running battery life?
Between 7-10 hours approximately depending on how many times the screen turns on. Thanks for watching!
I discovered that using Google Pay on Tic Watch Pro 3 requires screenlock/pin access for navigating everything on the watch, not just the Google Pay app. This is annoying because you need to keep entering your pin# every time you want to do anything with your watch apps, even if you're not paying for something. I wish the Google OS required the security pin# only when using Google Pay, the way Samsung Pay works on the Galaxy watch line (Tizen). I still haven't seen a UA-cam product review that caught this small but frustrating design flaw.
Oh interesting! Good catch.
There's a bet you lose. I bought my first Ticwatch three years ago. I have since upgraded it and bought their ANC headphones as well.
And it's pronounced "MOB-voy."
Hah nice! Yes, I think 100 other commenters mentioned I pronounced it wrong... My bad 🤦♂️
In regards to your quest to find a decent activity tracker for wear os, have you tried Sporty Go? I found it excellent- it has 6 data fields displayed at once. It would be great if you could do a review of it. I think it definitely deserves more exposure.
I did! It's really nice actually. Pretty sweet that it actually supports Stryd as well. Thanks for the tip, and for watching.
Which would you say is the BEST and most accurate watch for running in terms of GPS and heart rate accuracy? I currently have a Garmin 245 but considering the 945 mostly. But now I’m also considering the Fenix Pro, this watch and maybe the Apple Watch 6. Which would you recommend? Thank you and amazing reviews
Best and Accurate aren't really the same thing. For instance I like to wear the Garmin Fenix 6 and it's probably the least accurate in terms of GPS but has a ton of other functions I find valuable for my needs. If you're just looking for RAW GPS performance the best I've seen so far has come from the new Garmin Forerunner 745. That said, it's a $500 watch and the Garmin Forerunner 945 is currently on sale for $515 which has wayyyyy more features. the 945 is probably the best deal running right now!
Hi there! Your vídeo is great! It explains a lot of things that I had doubt. Tour conclusion is almost all that I wanted to know. The only thing that I want to know is about its performance with iPhone. It works well, or is there a lot of loss of functionality? Thanks very much! Regards from Brazil.
iPhone gets 95% of the functionality. What you don't get is the ability to respond to text messages directly from the watch. This is a limitation Apple has put in place to preserve their precious Apple Watch 😬
I bought the Suunto 7 over the Ticwatch Pro 3, hope I made the right decision 😐
They're both really nice. I think you'll enjoy it. Thanks for watching!
Nice review! Which software do you use to compare GPS and heart rate data?
Quantified Self!
The best reviewers, hands down, are the runners. But that's a bummer because I really want something I can track my heart fitness through a variety of activities from yard work to yoga, tai chi, aerobics and swimming. I don't need to get calls or anything that my phone does. Those are nice I guess but seem to complicate things too much. I can put my phone in a fanny pack and use my watch to see how my respiration and heart rates through those activities and see heart zones and those kind of details and I'm pretty good. I do want a watch that's waterproof and I don't have to be concerned about swimming though. So deciding the best choice for $300 or less? That's the hard part.
If you're not interested in the smartwatch features as much check out the Garmin Venu 2 or Garmin Forerunner 55
Running/Fitness Review does it set pace alarm?
The native exercise app doesn't have a pace alarm but there are plenty of third party apps on Google Play store that offer alerts for pace like "SportyGo"
@@ChaseTheSummit cool
Why do I get the feeling to stick with my Huawei GT2? It's alive for 14 days!!!!! It tells me my blood is okay. It wakes me up when needed..it plays my songs when wanted. I'm NOT going to look into apps on such a small display, why?? No, for that I use my phone. I shower, I run, I sleep, I live! ....it's always with me. Like my little Furby.
Sounds like you've got the right tool for the right job! I haven't had a chance to check out the GT2. Thanks for watching.
The way he said mobvoi in the intro, makes me rage. (mob - vi - o is not how you say it. its mob - voi) 0:18
Ha! It's funny because I actually knew how to say it and only mispronounced it when I hit record... derp. Valid complaint... I'll do better next time 😬
@@ChaseTheSummit Hey, We all make mistakes, Its alright! If I sounded mean, I really did not mean it. Keep up the good work Chase!
I’m diggin’ the new intro!
Trying to switch it up and keep things fresh! Thanks for watching!
A fitness watch that does not provide a GPX file making it incompatible with Strava? BIG MISTAKE!
You can use third party apps to export GPX files and pair to strava. The best I've discovered so far is the "Sporty Go" app which allows for external sensor connectivity, Stryd support, and also syncs with Strava! Thanks for watching!
Samsung smartphone users may be happier with a Galaxy watch. Most other Android users are probably better served with Wear OS and Ticwatch Pro is my favorite. If I did not already have one and a Garmin Fenix then I would consider a Suunto 7.
Probably true! I really dig the TicWatch Pro 3 surprisingly. Solid device.
Have you tried install Polar Beat or Polar Flow apps? Did they work with the watch heart rate sensor?
I need to know!
Love your reviews! My favourite gear channel.
I don't believe the TicWatch will show up as an external sensor for Polar apps unfortunately. Thanks for watching!
Can you please explain how you are exporting your GPS tracks into Google Maps or whatever you are using in the video. Thanks.
I used the app "SportyGo" to track the activity which allows me to export a GPX/Fit file from the TicWatch Pro 3 including HR data. Hope that helps!
Can it download offline maps in google maps and how many hours does it have if GPS is on? Great review by the way.
GPS battery life isn't advertised but I was seeing around 8% per hour of battery loss during activities. It will vary depending on which app you use, how many services are running, and how often the screen comes on. It can download offline maps if you find the right app to do so. I found "view ranger" works quite well on Wear OS. Thanks for watching!
Viewranger is great for tracking routes, elevation, time.
Mobvi-oh? Also, I wish youtubers would quit editing out all natural pauses when they speak. Its dumb and very tiring to listen to.
Totally botched the pronouncing of this brand. Derp... I actually wrote down “Mobvoy” to remind myself. Nah, trust me you don’t want to see the raw footage. It takes me an hour to get through a 10 minute video 😂
Love hearing about new watch tech. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching Doug!
How about the GPS accuracy?would you recommend this one or garmin,please? For running mostly.Cheers
I run through GPS accuracy in the video. It's pretty good. I can't say I'd recommend it over a Garmin if GPS is what you're after. This is more for someone who wants a Smartwatch first and fitness watch second. Hope that helps!
You mentioned that it has a compass, are you sure about that? When I searched online it mentioned that it didn't have the magnetic sensor...
Great review btw
I believe so? Thanks for watching.
Great review! Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
How did the battery last whilst tracking your run?
It does pretty well. I'd say it loses around 5-8% per hour in GPS mode depending on screen brightness and how often the screen is used.
Thanks. Think I'll wait and see what Google announce next month but this is definitely tempting.
Is Ankiware compatible with it?
I'm not familiar with Ankiware. Is that an app?
@@ChaseTheSummit Yeah! I spelled it wrong though, Ankiwear is an app that lets you go through Ankidroid's flashcards on your watch. It worked on the Ticwatch Pro ( www.reddit.com/r/Anki/comments/dm2swf/just_casually_reviewing_using_ankiwear_on_my/ ), but the app is known for not working on all wear-watches based on my google search
No Facebook Messenger notification on this watch. Very disappointed!
I think this is an issue with the Facebook app. But I'm not totally sure.
