    The TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra has a custom snapdragon 4100, a long battery life, and a few other updates, but it also has some problems... In this video, I share my experience with this new watch.

    ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
    So Samsung just released the Galaxy Watch 4, and Fossil launched their Gen 6 and with both of those, the battery life was far from impressive, leaving last year’s TicWatch Pro 3 a clear pick for android users in need of long battery life… that is until this. Mobvoi waited just a few weeks after Fossil and Samsung’s launch events to announce their new battery champ, the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra. With improved health tracking, an even longer battery, a backlit secondary display, and a custom snapdragon 4100 chip, this smartwatch is not to be taken lightly! So let’s take a closer look at the newest contender on android’s very short list of smartwatches in line for the new WearOS 3 upgrade!
    I’m Mike O’Brien
    TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra
    The name sounds like I am getting pranked
    THE DIFFERENCES
    Custom Mobvoi snapdragon 4100 chip (very similar to 4100 plus)
    Compass sensor is back
    3 day battery in smart mode (up to 45 in essential mode)
    Improved durability
    Long term health trends
    Fatigue monitoring
    Irregular heartbeat and Afib detection
    SUBSCRIBE
    I will be comparing this to the Fossil Gen 6 and Galaxy Watch 4 very soon!
    DESIGN
    1.4” display
    Dual screen, and backlight (color selectable)
    IP68 water resistance
    For a pro ultra model, I wish the build quality was better
    MIC & SPEAKER TEST
    ACCURACY TESTING
    BT, wifi, NFC, 5 GPS systems, HR, BloodOx, etc.
    NOTABLE FEATURES
    This currently works with iPhones, but when WearOS 3 comes, I am not sure
    Offline spotify
    Lift to wake works for LCD backlight
    Full WearOS 2, and updates coming soon
    Price $299
    The motive of this watch is to stretch the battery as long as possible and give you the fastest smoothest WearOS watch for the lowest price possible
    This is not for fashion
    This is not for cutting edge health features

      Man i just bought the the galaxy watch 4 yesterday lol it definitely sucks with battery life. And no google assistance.
      Having to take it off every night to charge it is a big loss for me when there's something like this that will be upgraded to wear os 3 as well.

    • @WeAsOneRise
      @WeAsOneRise 2 роки тому +1

      I wonder if when they upgrade to wear os 3 if battery life goes down.
      Still just 3 days would be amazing if the Samsung galaxy 4 could get that.
      Charging 2 or 3 times a week compared to every night is a huge huge huge difference

      Same reason I haven't gone for Samsung watch 4. One can keep a watch , watch 3, or active 2 , in my case active 2 , lte version at a lower price .. I ve an honor magic watch 2, it can take me to moon on the Apollo Saturn rocket , stay there for a few days and return with a single charge, which makes hell of a lot of difference .. Just placed order for this ticwatch pro 3 ultra model, hoping it will work well .

    Hey what's up everyone! Sorry this one was a bit later today, but what do you think? After watching this video again, I almost feel like I didn't emphasize the issue with the health tracking enough. The truth is, the TicExercise results shown on your phone are absolute dog sh*t, but if you just download a different tracker from the play store, I really think this device is capable of accurately tracking your workouts. The TicWatch Pro 3 was a good tracker, and I bet a software update or two would put this right where it needs to be. What do you think?

    Hi!
    I've been using the TicWatch Pro for a decent while now. And though it might not have been the very best Smart Watch out there, I've always considered it to be the smartest one.
    But now it seems to get quite old, and I'm thinking about getting a new one, some time soon.
    So what are, in fact, it's just the durability certifications, the compass, and some minor things I think are just through software (and could be updated at some point in time). Is that correct, or am I missing something?

    I just realized Mobvoi has been using a non edge to edge screen like the Fossils…whats with the dead black ring between the screen and the non-rotating bezel? I dont think they minimized it especially comparing to my edge to edge screen in my TicWatch Pro 2020…and still no rotating crown. Battery like is the best feature here, the dual layer LCD is kind of cool but I go back and forth on the actual utility…great review as always!

    Hello Mike, they say the Ultra is IP68, Pool Swim/MIL-STD-810G, pro 3 is ip68 only.
    Now the case of Ultra is made of Stainless steel and high-strength nylon with fiberglass, the Pro 3 says SS and plastic. So maybe that is good enough to call it ULTRA, what do you think?

    Hi Great channel & videos,
    I'm looking for a connected watch that would have the Dive Watch design with a real waterproof capabilities (20 ATM)
    I found some ref like the Fossils (FTW4059 but only 3 ATM...)
    withings horizon (10 ATM and rather hybrid)
    and finally the Casio (GSWH1000-1 20ATM, but rather roughed than dive...)
    Any piece of advice about the brand that would match the 2 ?
    I feel we're not far from having these kind of design/features coming out, but it seems still a bit early still.
    thanks :-)

    Like normally I wear earbuds & they are connected to my phone, so when someone calls me and if I answer the call from my watch, so will the audio from the person calling me will come through the earbuds or the watch? And during an ongoing call do we have an option to change the audio from watch to phone and vice-versa, from the watch itself, or will i have to pull out my phone from the pocket to do so?
    Please let me know.

    As of right now, the cheapest one of the three (Samsung, Fossil, Ticwatch) is Samsung watch 4 with $280 for the 44mm and $250 for the 40mm. Admittedly it's not the Samsung watch classic, but the way i see it the only difference between the watch 4 and watch 4 classic is the rotating bezel, which is just not worth the extra money for me. So i think the Samsung watch 4 is the best compromise between the three. But I'll wait for the in depth comparison of the three. Thank you.

    If anyone here has tried the TWP 3 Ultra GPS and Fossil Gen 6 and you had to pick one, which would it be and why? I've had a Gen 6 for a few months and just won a TWP 3 Ultra GPS and am just curious. I will likely end up selling one because I don't need two, but was also thinking of maybe selling both and just getting a Samsung GW4 since it has blood pressure monitoring (there's a hacked version of the app on XDA that enables the Galaxy-only features on non-Galaxy phones) and Wear OS 3.

    I think Mobvoi should finally start cleaning up their mess with SoCs on the spec sheets. Other OEMs doing similar things just point out they use "Snapdragon Wear XXXX combined with a co-processor". Moboi didn't get a custom 4100 because Qualcomm would just laugh at the request and ignore it. To get a custom chip a company needs to order in bulk and Mobvoi just doesn't have the sales figuers to do so. Why I'm so eager about this difference?
    Custom SoC: specific changes are made to the single chip to improve performance and efficiency
    Dual System: main SoC is unchanged but some functions are delegated to a second added processor --> not as fast because delegation takes time, not as efficient because extra overhead is needed to make the two separate processors work together
    First 5G phones drained the battery in no time because the modem couldn't be baked into the SoC but rather was a separate chip. This year with the modem being on the SoC the problem is mostly gone.

    • @joshharris3040
      @joshharris3040 2 роки тому +1

  • @mscargill1

    Another great review Mike. In terms of comparisons, I would be interested in seeing what the "Ultra" differences are between the standard Pro 3 and this new Ultra model. I appreciate that's probably less interesting than the comparison you are suggesting. So far as I can see, the only Ultra extras are the colourful Essential Mode screens, the AF heart rate monitoring, the compass and may be the "dual processing" capability of the Snapdragon 4100 chipset. I say "maybe" because I see that Mobvoi also mentions "dual processing" when speaking about the standard Pro 3 model.
    It seems to me less clear than it should be what the enhanced capabilities and performance benefits are of the Ultra's "dual processing" Snapdragon 4100. The battery life claims made for the Ultra mirror exactly those made for the standard Pro 3. Add to that concern - what noticeably better performance you are really getting from the Ultra - the downgrade in the strap and the extra $50 price tag, I am wondering what the point of this new model is other than as a pretty limited refresh of the 2020 Pro 3 model? A more limited refresh than the AW series 7 is of the AW series 6?

A bit bulky for my freakishly tiny wrists but I think it will cope with my everyday life better. Why can't someone manufacture a watch with Fossil Gen 6 look, Pro 3 Ultra screen size, and ruggedness combined with Samsung's bezel ring - if it existed for $350 or less it would be perfect...

    Great review. :)
    It looks like a pretty good watch. With the different sensors, I can't complain much about the price.
    I think the fact that the rotating crown doesn't do anything is a big disappointment, though. If you're not going to have a rotating bezel (and I assume Samsung patented that), the rotating crown is really essential for navigation. I can't stand swiping on the screen with my finger. That's why I'm still using my Galaxy Gear S3 Classic.
