- The TicWatch Pro 3 GPS looks an awful lot like the last TicWatch Pro from Mobvoi - and the one before that, too. But don’t let appearances fool you: the Mobvoi TicWatch 3 is the first smartwatch to carry Qualcomm’s newest system-on-a-chip designed specifically for wearables, the Snapdragon Wear 4100. Specs still matter on smartwatches much more so than on smartphones, and that 4100 combines with a generous 1GB of RAM to make the TicWatch 3 the most performant smartwatch Wear OS has ever seen.
When you factor in the innovative dual-layer display and battery life heretofore unseen on a Google-powered wearable … you get the best Wear OS smartwatch of 2020. Join Michael Fisher for a two-week test drive featuring the smartwatch that fixed Wear OS, in MrMobile’s Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3 Review!

Every time I see a new, compelling smartwatch, I turn to Michael to see what’s up! Thanks for the great review, as always
This. Same.
Same. He gets me.
I honestly thought you were saying "My Boy" throughout this video. "My boy brought over this speaker and microphone...", "My boy needs to collaborate with a traditional watch maker..."
Hahaha, I thought I was the only one 😂
lol this definitely lends a ... unique angle to the video!
same
Same here hahaha
I thought he was saying that too. I was like "Wow, he must really love this watch if he calls the company that made it 'my boy'."
Michael said: Mobvoi
I heard: m’ boy
I see I wasn’t the only one... 😂
Siraj Mazher lol at first I was like wtf dude, mah boi? Who is referring to?
Yeah, I heard the same thing lmao 😂

Ma boiiiii
"A gigabyte of ram, that should do the trick."
LOL i watched that video that was so funny.
Famous last words
if the ting is able to charge it is yea, mine isn't I called for getting my money back, the girl on the phone said there were a lot of problems with the charging dock, sleeping tracking is also terrible
@@sennemeynants526 It's a quote from a movie man. Have no intention of buying this.
@@alexanderrahl482 haha indeed, no offence to you my guy
Got mine 4 days ago, and unexpectedly, no regrets so far. As mentioned in the review, I'm also missing the crown, but that's something I can live with. I get 2,5 days with very heavy use out of that watch, and that's OK, compared to the half day of the Fossil Gen 5. There are still minor issues with Wear OS, but everything is manageable. First smartwatch that I have, that is actually an addition to my everyday life.
Your reviews are always so sleek and stylishly presented
You are the most efficient to the point tech reviewer i've ever seen.
I’ve been waiting on this for review!!
You're one of the best reviewers my dude :)
I love how well you do watch reviews. 10 all around.
Your smartwatch reviews are the best!!!
"If aggressively minimal matt black is your kind of thing..."
You son of a b****, I'm in! 😜
Great review , I was really liking this watch. You hit all the points I wanted to know. Thank Mr. mobile.
I bought the TicWatch Pro 3 based - in part - on your video here. I believe there are 3 critical things that can make this about the best watch on the market today...and one of them they already fixed. First is give us the option of turning off the backlight every time we move our wrist to do virtually anything. Thankfully, in a recent update, this was taken care of (thank you Mobvoi). Second, give us a rotating crown to help us scroll around instead of relying entirely upon touching the screen...and third, get rid of the haptic motor you use and put something in that actually WORKS. The haptic motor in the TicWatch Pro 3 is easily the most anemic, useless motors I have ever used. It just sucks. Period. Fix the last two and I don't think any watch can truly beat it running Wear OS.
I've been waiting for you to get your hands on this! Wooooooooo
Dank pods! Freeman's mind! And now Mister Mobile?! What a great day!
I like how you review techs, I think you have a passion to it
Great video sir! As always! You're making me want the TicWatch pro
Imma say it. Mr. Mobile has one of my favorite video formats.
Great review as always Mr Mobile!
Your review is so engaging & passionate as it has always been. 😊
You have to be my new favorite channel to watch for mobile tech news. I like what you bring to the table, your insight which I agree with almost 100% of the time, and-because I work in radio, I personally like your delivery, too. Very natural without falling into "announcer mode" like so many other reviewers do.
Like you, I really like what Wear OS is capable of delivering. Unfortunately, in my 7-8 watches I've owned, none of them actually did just that. Glitches. Hiccups. Stalling. Sudden app closures. Taking forever to open almost ANYTHING. It just wore on me. QUICK. I finally switched to Tizen back with the Gear S2, and I haven't really had a compelling reason to go back to Wear OS at all...that is until I saw your Oppo Watch review. While I would have preferred it pack the Wear 4100 chip and bluetooth 5.0, I ordered one anyway because, while it really IS an apple lookalike, I think with those curved edges, I prefer it more. I just think it needs a rotating crown, just like you. Thank you again for your review. The Ticwatch Pro 3 just may be my next smart watch. You rock, my friend. Keep up the good work.
Like similar comments I also thought you were saying my boy 😂😂😂
right!
Mah boi
you're alright boah
I just found your channel and been looking for a decent smartwatch. The Ticwatch Pro 3 is definitely on my short list. Thanks
Thank you for the review. Just ordered one.
I really enjoyed your review and found it very helpful, thank you.
I don't know if it is the Music mixing or your voice, there is always feel good vibe in your videos.
Keep up the goo work. FYI, I just ordered this watch after watching your review. :)
Although I don't use it as much as I once did, my pebble time steel still works like a charm. While dictation is subscription based, Rebble maintains the the basic functions of the Pebble. Although many have made videos on how the Pebble still lives on with Rebble, I think it would be a cool video idea for you to revisit the Pebble and how it still compares to other watches, even with it's flaws.
@MrMobile Another awesome review. Congrats on your 1M and thanks for the TCL phone in the giveaway!
Happy to see my DOS watchface again at 4:24 😁 I know it's a little thing and all, it just makes me happy.
Great video! The dual screen is really interesting and smart for battery preservation!
Did you do the one for the Galaxy Watch? It's probably the face I've used for the longest amount of time--and I'm still rockin' it!
Love your content Michael
Loved the video Michael.. However we need more content from you
I love my OG Tic Watch so I'm going to get the new one as soon as I have the money!
Wear improvements over the last 3 years have made the biggest difference. I've just refreshed my LG Watch Sport for the second time, with new straps and a new battery. Full day usage from 7am till midnight with typically 20% remaining, this with LTE all during that time.
When new over 3 years ago I was lucky if I got half that time.
Dig it out of your draw and put a fresh new battery in it (easy to do) you will be surprised!
I'm really liking the design/style of this watch, even though it's pretty traditional. Hoping a local store will have one for me to get in in person.
I was so hoping for the tickle strip to come back. Regardless it looks like an awesome wear is watch. Great review!
Biggest mistake they ever made was to ditch the tickle strip. Wish they'd collaborate with Google to make a Wear OS-compliant version.
What's a tickle strip? I wanna know what I'm missing out on.
@@watn3yold119 the very first ticwatch had it. The term "tic" comes from that tickle. The first gen ones used to have a capacitive strip onto the (more bottom) side of watch which is used for scrolling without touching the watch like the one on watch active 2 but imagine 1/4 part of that strip. Removing that feature was the most dumbest ommision done by mobvoi.
Watn3y instead of using a crown or the screen you can use the sides of the watch to tap and slide through the OS. Keeps the screen clean and doesn’t require an actual nob. It can be limited though
@@TheMrMobile What is the tickle strips problem w/ wear os? Can't the watch just treat a swipe up and a swipe down the same as the crown bring rotated?
I hate to say this, you're way better youtuber than anyone when it comes to gadgets!
Glad to see I've got a direct upgrade path from my ticwatch pro 1.
I've been using the TicWatch Pro 3 for about a week. And I really like the watch.
My only problem is the battery life, I can just, and just barely get 2 days out of it, and that is with light use. The first day I used it, went over to some friends, and the watch was at around 53-58% charge, so plenty for a evening out. Next time I looked at the charge, it was down to around 23%, within an hour's or so, and when it got down to just under 20% I put it in essential mode, but that didn't help to keep the watch alive till we got home. It has gotten better, but it tops at just under 2 days.
So I'm afraid I have to send it in, and get a replacement, which sucks, as I really like the watch.
Just bought this because of the review, thank you
Glad to see smart watches are finally making progress and having some decent battery life
Nice review.
Still some of the best tech reviews on the web!
Ma boiii has really upped his game!
"That all changes today" really surprised me
You know Michael, I haven't even considered a smartwatch being an Android user in a long time but now I think I might grab one on your recommendation alone.
Great review. I had the ticwatch Pro before I got my p40 pro and free gt2 watch. Lovedit but the lag on Google ware always left me frustrated. Loved the gt2 as soon as I put it on but do miss somethings like replying to texts. Next phone is looking like a duo and I think I will give the tic watch 3 a go when I move to
I've had mine a few days and really like it
Thank you Michael for keeping us updated on new Wear OS watches while other reviewers abandoned it.
I've been a huge fan of the Fossil Hybrid got it from your video review. Thought about moving to a ticwatch.
Finally ur review of ticwatch 3 pro is here.
This really seems to take care of all the problems I have with my current tic watch pro
Best content and the greatest reviewer.
The Best review on internet at least for now...
On the wear OS side it's always been the hardware that held it back. I hope they continue to improve. Still holding off on getting a smartwatch until the battery and charging hardware gets a bit more advanced. It's starting to become more tempting though.
I have a Skygen Falster 3, it also packs 1 GB of RAM but only a Snapdragon 3100. It works incredibly smooth and looks great!
So
My pebble time steel still sits proudly on my wrist
BUT if this thing had a crown for navigation, I'd very seriously consider (finally) switching
Does the Pebble still hold up well today if I just want to tell the time and get notifications?
@@JacksonWalter735 absolutely, and using rebbl, I can get all the apps, so among other things, I use it for sleep tracking
man Pebble spoiled me! can't find a thin watch like it yet
trying the E2 rn..now the fossil Gen 5..still feels weird
Hey, Mr.Mobile would really love to see a comparison between the Ticwatch and Galaxy Watch 3.
Your unique takes on tech are insightful for an ordinary consumer with limited cash like me.
Cheers !
Digging the new 'old' hairdo!
Mike Is promoting his buddy's watch brand "muh boy" lol
I have the Casio Pro Trek, and one reason why I got it is because it's still a watch when the computer battery dies. After going through a few smart watches, and suffering the consequences of forgetting my proprietary charging adapter while far from home, I like that feature a lot. I also liked the big, chunky form factor. My all-time ultimate watch still is the very first digital watch, the Synchronar 2100. That's one chunky watch that becomes an unintentional hammer if you gesticulate, but it's just an outstanding industrial design. It's not dainty, and not meant to be.
I got my Ticwatch 3 pro today and I love it. Came from a Samsung S3 sport. I do not find Wear OS any better or worse than tizen
I'd like to get one. The watch faces in this video, are they available on the watch? Just wondering if they might need to be purchased. They look so cool!
I would like to know how this watch works with Whatsapp and Facebook messaging, can you see the pictures as well and reply through it?
Does it have a google map?
I’m sorry I’m so ignorant in technology.
I checked the website and didn’t find the map on the pro 3
I strongly dislike Tizen.
@@sue3327 It's WearOS. It has all of the Google apps. Google makes WearOS.
waiting for mine to arrive :)
Any idea when the new Pro 3 LTE will be available in the States?? Great review by the way.. you have a new sub.
Hairs on point Michael I gotta say 10/10
Cannot wait to see other watch makers use the 4100 chip. I really want to get a smartwatch and I was so close to getting the Samsung watch but now wear os watches are on my radar again
This dual screens display is genial! The LCD layer get me remembering the old STN LCDs which came equipping old digital clocks. If the OLED backlights it with colors like green, orange or blue one, this nostalgia mood would be much stronger...
I wish! That'd be so cool!
Great video.
Just ordered mine
Camt wait for mine to arrive
Great review as always.👍 Is there going to be LTE version?
Great vid as always. Are you able to do a video on gadgets out there that can make any watch "smart"? I.e. smart clasps or straps? Thanks
Great video there. The watch seems really good now, but I found a great alternative at watchplaystore, just google them, It has a dual core cpu and for that price i thought it was the best pick and ordered it :D
Why are people thumbs upping this obvious spam lol
I've had my 360 second gen for five years and it's still going strong. Three days of battery and very little hiccups
So I actually bought the tic watch pro 2 last month based on your review since I needed one and couldn't wait another month. As so.eone that loves minimumalistic designs this watch looks freaking amazing if I ly it had a rotating crown. Also the east river isn't the worst river in the area to be in.
Just bought a Moto 360 per your recommendations, this seems great as well!
I was so, so happy to put my Moto 360 back on today. Welcome to the club!
@@TheMrMobile the moto 360 is your daily wear? I just watched your review of it and didn't get the feeling that you were in love with it.
You should definitely check the Mykonos ZeTime, a smartwatch with screen and needles
Nice video !
Perfect independent review
Why have you been man
I missed your reviews
2:07 nice background 👍🏻
I tried a wear OS watch for 36 hours and went right back to my Garmin vivoactive 4. Garmin isn't as fancy or smart as my Watch Active 2. But 6 days of battery life, and just simply knowing what I want it to do, rather than a desire to expect it to do more, is what keeps me coming back to Garmin. It is a activity tracker first, smartwatch second. That is exactly what I want.
Nice review. Where can I get those amazing watch faces?
That's a watch I'll love to have on my wrist.
Great review, Michael! Always a pleasure to watch
I had the first Pro as it came out back in the days. The problem with the first gen was when you didn't wear the watch both displays turned off after some time and didn't want to turn back on. The watch was reacting to the touches, but the screen was blank. Reboot was the only solution.
I really love this watch unfortunately I can't find it in any shop I live, sadly
As an Apple watch user and fan, I'm so happy watch os finally good. A bit of competition is good for the market.
Wow. It is just astounding how Apple fan bois talking down to us Android peasants.
@@shurchil69 if I was a fan boy/girl I wouldn't be happy that watch os is competitive now would I? I'm not like you mate, I don't let brand loyalty override my decision.
@@the-boring-car-guy Same boat here. I use iphone with apple watch, but would be willing to switch to the droids if there is a good enough watch out there. And those $25 fitness trackers are a big no.
good job mate this is an awesome review but. I am sticking to tizen os after all just got my galaxy watch 3 😁
Hey Michael waiting to see if you review the huawei gt2 pro soon!
I just tried the same Google assistant command on my ancient huawei watch (1st gen) to see how things had improved. It took a few seconds to open the assistant, then I accidentally cancelled the voice input due to the lag, then when it did start it misheard me. Things are definitely better on this new snapdragon 4100! That said im surprised that the interface hasn't changed one bit
I have the Ticwatch S2 and I already signed up, all I would have to do is log in and then I would be able to use the Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS
Wow with that battery life i might actually have to finally jump on board. Wish it was a bit smaller might wait see what else comes out with the 4100
Would be nice to have a smartwatch with the features of Samsung ones, battery life of Huawei ones and the secondary LCD screen of this one...
Thanks for the review. I love my Ticwatch Pro 1st gen, although the “speed” is an issue. Mainly switching betweeen monochromatic and OLED display. So the 3rd gen is finaly faster also when switching between the displays? Thanks
How good is the sleep tracking, or the accuracy on the fitness stuff like heart rate? Great review :)
Finally! A proper wear os smartwatch.
That's exactly what I wanted and what I'll probably buy. I don't like being limited to one manufacturer, so Huawei is out of the question, I haven't seen any other watch other than Samsungs running Tizen... So WearOS is the only OS I'd use on a smartwatch at the moment.
Everything seems to be heading towards WearOS anyway and that's the logical thing to happen. More manufacturers opting for WearOS means more support from both Google and app developers. The consumer also benefits from more competition from manufacturers, which brings prices down
Would like to see Michael do a update to this review based on the number of people having long term problems with this watch. I bought one based on this review. Watch is everything he said it was.... Until it wasn't. One day it just went dead half way through the day. When I charged it up it was acting strange, sensors not working and even at full battery the TN displays showed an empty battery error. Looked on the mobvoi website and saw on their forums a lot of people with the same problem. Advise was to put the phone into "ship" mode and then restart it. This got the sensors working again but after that I never got more than 7 hours battery life. Even just leaving the watch lying on my desk, after 7 hours it was dead. There is a serious bug with this watch. Mine was about 2 months old when this happened.
pls get hands on the Huawei GT2 pro. Just couldn't purchase it without your video!
I like how you used the time 3:14 multiple times. Pi
Great video. You should be doing audio books if you aren't already. I'd kill to have a voice like that.
