I know you might get this message often, but I can't believe this video has that few views. Informative, well edited, super entertaining (I didn't even notice it lasted 20 minutes)... it's a great review! Cheers, mate!
Thank you, I always appreciate comments like these. I like to think that if I make good content then the views will come and in any case I still enjoy going it.
First video on this watch that went into detail with the music situation & not being able to download music from Spotify offline so that you wouldn't need to bring your phone. Finally. Thank you, great review
You are welcome, not sure if Spotify have some sort of deal with other brands which stops them adding offline but either way its frustrating!
Love your reviews, complete and clear!
I appreciate that, thank you.
Finally a review that doesn't shy away from the negatives. Thanks.
I try to give a balanced view, glad you liked it.
NO BS review. Well done !!
Thanks, I try.
Brilliant! Excellent review. I’ve subscribed. Thank you.
Thanks for the sub!
A few people have pointed out that you can upload your runs to Strava, so to clear things up it look like third party apps you can sync with are Google Fit, Strava, Runkeeper and Apple Health, this is setup under your profile. I'm not sure if this is part of an update or something I missed in my initial review, having spoken to the guy from Mobvoi after publishing my review he did say they were working on several improvements to the app. You still can not export the files for later upload however.
5:10 since the latest update you can now change the date layout through the "essential mode" app, which allows you to configure some other things like the enabling the backlight-on-tilt feature, but I assume you'd still want to turn off the always-on and tilt-to-wake options otherwise you'll just get the OLED screen when tilting regardless of your choice.
Ah, I hadn’t spotted that I’ll have to have a look. The backlight will always be a choice one way or the other I guess.
Good review man!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
I'm gonna give these smartwatches another year or two before I pick up one
Loved the video. Very good and unbiased review. Would like to see you do more of these smart watch videos. Can you make a review on Amazfit GTR2/GTS2 watches? Very much appreciated. More power bro!
Thanks, would love to do more and will do in the future they just take a lot of time!
Perfect review 👍🏼
Thanks! 👍
Good job 👍 on providing your review. I just purchased TW3 Pro. Waiting for it to come in and try out. I'm coming with open mind so will how this Smart Watch can do. This is my first Smart Watch 😊
Hope you are happy with it when it comes.
Very useful review thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Very good explaining all about smart watche good 👍 lad
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice and useful video
Glad you liked it
Great review, lots of detail!
Thanks!
Thanks! Very useful, and I am not a runner.
Glad it was helpful and thank you. That is my first super thanks ever and I really appreciate it.
You are true person👍✌️👌😍
Thanks
Great work
Thanks
solid review, thanks, can you do any refresher? it's been 2 yrs
Thanks.
No plans to do a refresher unless I can look at the new wear os on it.
بسیار عالی ممنونم❤❤❤👍👍👍👍
You're welcome
Is there an app (wear os) for the phone, so you can see all of the detailed health, sleep info.. etc? How well do notifications come form phone to watch? was it very consistent...email, text, and reminders etc...?
Very nice video! I want to ask some very useful questions:
1)can you answer to sms or viber or email by voice and don't only by texting (as we can do at Samsung watches)?
2)can you change the keyboard with some other from Google play store?
3)is there any other Al assistant except Google assistant that helps you by giving voice command? (for example :make a call or send a message)?
4)can you link to a WiFi if your smarphone is not near?
5)can you swim to the sea without breaking it(not dive, simply swim)
Please you would help me a lot of you can answer that. Thanks!
1) Yes
2) Not sure but I don’t think so
3) No
4) Yes
5) I would say it’s not recommended, salt water is an electronics killer
@@chrisguess thanks a lot! You are the one!
Good, in-depth review. 18:00 at the moment native workout app sends stuff to strava automatically. It's better than google imho. Weird, huh? Why google can't try harder?
A few people have pointed this out, I can now see connections to Google fit, Apple health, Strava and Runkeeper. Not sure if this an update or not.
Great review, my friend! I'm looking to get this soon. It'll be my first smart watch ever and I'll be pairing it up with my Surface DUO2.. Any Thoughts? Or will it be a similar experience?
Should work, it’s android right?
@@chrisguess yes. It works great!
Great review, decided to purchase one. Is the notification vibration weak?
Can you receive smart, rich notifications? Notifications with pictures if connected to iPhone?
Did you use the TicWatch Pro 3 connected to iPhone? Did you encounter any issues connected to iPhone?
Vibration is ok. You get emoji but not pictures gifs etc. All my testing was with it connected to iPhone and it connects fine.
nice review! what's your wrist size? also is 45 days true in essential mode?
Check out my 245 questions answered video for my wrist size and I’ve honestly never tested the essentials mode because it turns everything off so makes it rather pointless.
You need to go with apps in Google play and try them and Google map as well I want see if is it running faster or has any trouble specially 1 GB Ram not enough to run android system
Something I’m thinking about
Hello, thank you for great content you are sharing with us, you have a new subscriber :). Did you had a chance to try Huawei GT2 Pro? I'm on a fence between GT2 Pro and Ticwatch Pro 3. If you used GT2 Pro, what is your opinion, which one has better fitness tracking options, and which is more accurate in monitoring sleep and HR? Thank you for your time and have a great day!
Thanks.
Not used the GT2 Pro sorry, but I think that is a different operating system so before you go for it make sure you can get all the apps on it you want.
@@chrisguess thank you for your answer!
No problem
Hi thanks for the review. I look for this model or the samsung watch 3. I like running coaching. Is that possibel with this watch? And i like music while i am running. What is the best way to have that on this watch? Thanks
No native run coaching on the watch as yet but I know they are looking at it. As for music there is no simple way of adding music directly to the watch right now.
Hi thanks for the review. I have a question. By the tic healt sleep overview i see in your video that it show haertrate alse bloodoxigen during teh night. In my situation i onky see the heart rate but NOT bloodoxigen. Where can i chance that? Thanks
You need to turn on the 24 hour monitoring in the sensor settings.
How is the sound quality on calls and music? And does it have talk to text for replying and/or sending texts?
I haven't been able to take any calls on it as you can only do this on android and I use an iPhone, but based on the voice memos I recorded I think it would work fine. The speaker is plenty loud enough and the mic seems to pick up your voice even at arms length. I believe it does in the same was as you can search with voice etc. Hope that helps.
Why didn't you try ghostracer ? Has customizable screens, gpx import route follow. Offline maps , Strava sync, etc?
Never heard of it, might have to check it out.
19:57 wow you've got fast fingers 🤪
I know, imagine if I sped it up!
@@chrisguess careful there, you're making sonic the hedgehog envious. Btw, awesome review. 👌
I've got the watch and love it. But there is some confusion... Mobvoi says you can swim with the watch BUT you should not shower with it on. What ???
Not sure where they say that, but I've done it several times and it seems fine. Only issue I had is the water tends to operate the screen so ended up starting a few activities, but that might be watch face dependant.
Can i somehow install messenger on it?If yes how but i no then now other apps i can install
Yes, in fact it may have been pre installed, if not just go to the play store on the watch.
Does the watch give metrics like vo2max and load & rest time needed?
Not natively, there may be certain apps which would but none that I've tested.
Great review, keep up with that.
However what I would recommend is to speed up your speech and add some emotions and dynamics to your voice
Thanks for the feedback, I will take it onboard
can you connect a external heart rate monitor in all the apps ?
Honestly I don't know, I don't have a heart rate strap so I can't even test it.
Where did you rate ticwatch pro 3 gps on the balance of fashion vs function?
I would say it is more smart watch than running watch, so if you like the look of it then it has fashion covered. Also you have more choice when it comes to watch faces than your average running watch. Function all depends on how serious you want to get, I would always pick a dedicated running watch over this if you run a lot.
@@chrisguess thank you
I have a oneplus Nord. would you recommend this ticwatch pro, or the galaxy watch 3 since it dropped in price?
Not had a whole lot of experience with the Galaxy line but I really like the interface, check you can get all the apps you want and what features are supported. I think I would give the Galaxy a go.
@@chrisguess thanks! I will subscribe, i like your vids!
Thanks, lots more to come.
Nope. If you are using Android, go for a pure android smartwatch i.e WearOS. Fossil 5 Gen or this Ticwatch 3 Pro GPS
Some samsung features will only be available on samsung phones and will not be available on our oneplus devices. Such a bummer that you cant fully utilize galaxy watch features on other android phones. Sigh
Is it just me but I think that the app can natively sync with google fit.
You are right thanks for pointing this out, I can now see connections to Google fit, Apple health, Strava and Runkeeper. I'm not sure if I missed this or its part of an update, I was talking to the guy from Mobvoi and he said they were working on some additions to the app. Still no option to export the file for later upload though.
Do you think this is a better alternative than Apple Watch Series 5 for iOS users?
I haven't used an Apple Watch so I can't be sure but I would say the Apple Watch is going to integrate with iOS much better.
@@chrisguess Yes; that's what I would assume. Thanks!
No tic music?
No
can you view satellite maps while hiking?
You can get google maps on it, not sure about satellite images though...
I spend a lot of time in the forests with no roads and without satellite images I would be lost. My Casio pro trek did it but it died after only 6 months and I want something else now
What about spotify offline?
Nope sorry.
Thanks Chris for a no bullshit review. Most appreciated. Unlike you crazy buggers that run over 400m at a time... I do sprints. I have yet to find a smart watch that stays on in a fashion that means I can start and stop the darn thing quickly. I need the stop watch to stay on so while I am running the exhaustively long 50 meters I can raise my arm and tap the screen to start and stop the watch. (If its longest on time Time is 15 secs... and you have to turn your wrist to get back to the stopwatch... then its just too slow, by the time you lift your arm at speed... wait for the watch to “wake-up” and tap it... you’ve missed your finish line.) Have you found a good wrist watch that works well as a stop watch for a sprinter? Thanks
Hi Peter, it sounds to me like you need a "Proper" running watch i.e. Garmin, Coros, Polar etc. Smart watches are great all rounders but you can't beat the physical buttons and true always on screens of dedicated running watches. I have a couple of videos on the Channel you could check out one on the Garmin 245 and one on the Coros Pace 2, both would solve your problem I think. Let me know how you get on.
@@chrisguess Thanks man I'll def check them out. Appreciate the reply
Great Suggestion Chris... the Coros does look good. Appreciate the tips mate
They include a GPS receiver but ommit a compass? What the heck is the sense behind???
Does seem a strange one.
Is it possible to download an app for compass?
Why does nobody ever talk about the way the notification works. Can you use voice message on whatsapp? Do you see all the emoji? Does it recognize foreign languages like arabic or will you see only ???? Like on the cheap watches. And how is google maps working? Do you need to use the watch only or can you get the notification when opening maps on your phone?
Most reviewers like to talk about the fitness part but not the "business" part.
I do cover notifications in the video, but it’s impossible to cover every feature in the sort of detail you are talking about. All my watch reviews are geared towards running and this is no different.
Unfortunately you can’t expect a review to cover every specific thing you personally wish to know. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and try it yourself.
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.
That doesn't sound right, it states on the box that it is swim proof, I have showered in mine several times and still works fine. I would expect them to offer replacement or refund.
@@chrisguess I also expected that, but wasn´t the case.
must be Beijing ???
The China Communist government still won't accept they are the source of the COVID-19!!!
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????
Also, is that any alternative for the Snapdragon 4100 Smart watch that is non-China brand???
Try some funny accent which improve views
Couldn't agree more
Not sure I understand what you mean?
