Ticwatch Pro 5 Android Smartwatch for Men Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 Wear OS Smart Watch 80 Hrs Long Battery Life Health Fitness Tracking 5ATM Water Resistance Compass Android Only Compatible, Sandstone

I have been using Android wear watches aka WearOS from the early days. I had the first Fossil, I had the Mobvoi TicWatch 3, which I liked at the time, but unfortunately it didn't last very long. Had it replaced under warranty after almost a year. I had the replacement for another while but eventually it started acting up again. I think there was an issue with water intrusion. I wear my watches in the water always so I need them to be waterproof. After this I decided to give the Galaxy Watch 4 a try and It worked well until a firmware update bricked it, so Samsung sent me a replacement. The watch has worked well overall, but with all the annoyances of having Samsung installed bloatware and voice assistant. The watch has not been fluid but it was the best option at the time. Well I just received my new Mobvoi TicWatch 5 pro. I ordered the sandstone version which does look great. From my TicWatch 3 days I did always appreciate the dual display for battery savings, so was excited about trying out this new version with the latest snapdragon W5+ Gen1 processor, more ram, and larger battery. My comparison on this watch will be directly against the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. Things I really like in the TicWatch 5 pro: Speed: the watch is fast in comparison to my galaxy watch 4 classic. Swiping through the screens is a welcome improvement. I get absolutely no delays. Dual screen: The new dual screen is alot more useful than the TicWatch 3, really like that I can scroll with the crown to get additional information screens. Notification screen: notifications were always kind of spotty on my Galaxy watch 4 classic. I really like how they are displayed by scrolling up on the TicWatch 5 pro Receiving calls: this was always a challenge on the galaxy watch. I am always working in the garage, so I frequently answer calls from my watch. The galaxy had poor sound quality and would not always pick up the call properly. The TicWatch has been flawless with answering calls. Callers say it sounds great even when I'm driving with my hands in the steering wheel. I also notice the Bluetooth range from my phone is awesome, so I can pick up a call while I find my phone. Wear OS experience: I do like the more native os experience of the TicWatch 5 pro. I have a Pixel Phone and prefer a Native Android experience. I really hated the fact that the Galaxy Watch 4 tries to force the usage of Samsung apps many that are not even good, like Bixbi, and Samsung pay. Now TicWatch does have their own health app, but it seems to integrate well with Android Health Connect and Google fit. I did have to use Google fit for better integration with strava. Overall the experience is good, maybe similar to that of Samsung, except Samsung would only support their ECG feature if you have a Samsung phone, this was a dumb decision in their part. I personally use Strava for my exercise tracking which is compatible with both watches but does run much smoother on the TicWatch due to the more powerful processor. The rotating crown: The crown works well, for scrolling up and down, you can change it to scroll through tiles like the rotating bezel on the galaxy watch 4 classic. I mostly use it to adjust the volume when using the Spotify app. Between the rotating crown of the TicWatch 5 and the rotating bezel of the Galaxy watch 4 classic, I do have to say I prefer the rotating bezel, but I can use both without issues as they both function well. I do wear my watch on the right, so the rotating crown is not in the way for me. Battery life: After full charge, Initial 48hrs, with setup and new toy heavy use, I had 30% battery left. I am running real time HR monitoring. I also recorded one Strava MTB ride for 1 hr. After 2nd full recharge: First 24hrs 78% First 48 hrs 50% (recorded One Strava ride for 1hr First 72 hrs 15% (had 2hr ride) I am very impressed with the battery life, This is exactly what I needed, I was just away for the weekend camping and didn't have to charge the watch. Full charge Friday morning, about 30% Sunday night when i returned. This is exactly what I needed. It's been a month with my TicWatch 5 and I do have to say I will not be going back to my galaxy watch 4. The TicWatch 5 pro is far superior. The only thing I miss every now and then is Google assistant, and I hope TicWatch will make it available. I mostly use it to send quick text while riding my bike to tell the family I'm coming home so we can have breakfast together.

Hi! I purchased this watch in early September. I wanted to truly test it out before reviewing. I’ve owned atleast 15 different smart watches over the years. It’s my thang. 😂 I always seem to get drawn back to Mobvoi as they last me several years. While that may not impress you, let me impress upon the fact that I’m in construction and am brutal on my watches. They are constantly getting banged around and covered in saw dust etc. I also lead a very active lifestyle for biking, running, swimming, weight lifting. Lots of cardio. This is the first one I’ve owned in this sandstone color. I’ve always had black with stainless or a variation of that. I typically would swap out bands depending on what I was doing as I have some custom bands with mahogany inlays. But this new color is so unique and goes with everything. I get compliments on it all the time. I’m very unique and love unique things. Fitness tracker is fantastic. I love how it knows when I’m switching from walking to riding a bike to weight lifting. The AI is impressive and much better than any I’ve ever owned. The different color screen lighting is stunning. So unique. Sleep tracker: I’ve always been a 5 hours of sleep person. But now that I’m in my 50s and have become aware of the health benefits of getting more sleep, I have been putting more effort into more rest. I have tested this watch while wearing other ones for sleep tracking. This is by far the most accurate and eye opening as to the balance of light sleep, to deep, to rem sleep. By changing up my night time patterns and tracking nightly, I have been able to increase my sleep duration as well as a better balance between the three key sleep levels. I have alerts set as reminders to wind down for sleep. It even tracks my resting. I like how it knows when I’m awake and then updates me how I did the night before. Connecting to my phone: They have finally mastered the seamless connection between my watch and phone. While at work I couldn’t possibly carry my phone all the time as it would get destroyed with sweat, and bashing it. So I leave it in a near by area. This is the first watch that doesn’t require a reconnect every time. It does it seamlessly. I am able to get text alerts and phone calls from the other end of the houses and job sites I’m at. As well as the gym. I’m blown away by how far I can be from the phone and still change my music, get messages, etc. Mobvoi has hit a home run on this one. I use the timer several times a day . I also use the heart rate monitor. It’s very accurate when tested with multiple watches of various brands. It is so cool when it tells me when I a. getting out of my target range by changing the screen colors so I’m not working out anaerobically. I don’t have to keep fumbling through my phone while running to check my heart rate. Battery: I have every feature on all the time. With this battery, I can go several days even with all my fitness trackers going. The old ones would barely get me through the day. Certainly not thru the night for sleep tracking. It is a little bit more streamline than previous versions which makes it easier to wear it at night time. I do have thinner watches but I like keeping all my tracking in one location on the app and watch. When I’m traveling and not doing a lot of workouts, I’ll go a week between charges. Others claim they can do this, but I’ve tried just about every major brand and sent them back as it was untrue. This one also charges quickly for the nights that I want to wear it for sleep and battery is low. A 25 min charge is plenty to get me through the night and next day. The provided dongle cord is easy to connect. I always buy an after market hanging rack just for the convenience. But this cord is plenty long enough as compared to others in the past. It also goes into a quiet mode at night time so I am not bothered while trying to get some well needed sleep. Water reminder: I try to drink at a minimum of half my body weight in ounces of water daily. A lot more on workout days. I can set alerts and track my water consumption easily. Swimming use: I’ve used it a few times while swimming and it works great. But I’ll use my old ones as I love this watch and why shorten the life if I can avoid it. It gets wet daily as I’m always washing sweat and saw dust, and caulk and paint off of my hands and watch. No issues. The glass hasn’t a single scratch and it’s been bashed a lot. Although I don’t recommend being as rough on it as me, it comes with the territory of what I do. I really dig having all the quick swipe tiles. Way better than previous versions. I can see upcoming weather as we work outside and I need to know if any rain or could weather is going to sneak up on me. Flashlight is fantastic. I use it nightly it seems and is fairly bright. Tic Breath feature is fantastic. I use it several times a week. It’s a meditation that just helps me find my center and calm myself. I call it my time out. I use it just prior to going into a big meeting. It makes such a difference when I roll in there all relaxed. I’ll play with it just to see how low I can bring my heart rate down to. I’ve learned in life that anything that gets measured, typically gets improved. With this watch, all areas of my sleep, rest, water, heart rate and resting rates improve as I’m focusing and tracking them daily. Plus I rarely burn food as that timer has saved my tail many times as I’ve gotten distracted while cooking. I’m just skimming the surface is what this watch can do and has done for me. Finally the technology has caught up. These guys are the front runners by far in the smart watch world. I use that compass several times a week while out boating and fishing as a back up navigation. Tip calculated is pretty handy too. The to do scheduler and calendar alerts are spot on. I run 2 businesses and with this watch, it syncs up perfectly through all my devices. In closing, smartest smart watch I’ve ever owned. But you can bet, I’ll get the next model when it comes out. I pass my old ones down to my kids. Way better than any 🍎 one I’ve ever owned. Never again will I go back. I just compared mine to my daughters 🍎 and she’s sending hers back. Nope. I don’t own stock in these guys. Just a great watch that deserves a great review.

My watch stopped working after 1.5 years of ownership. I didn't wear it in water. I kept it in really good shape. Then one day it's stuck in the "Wear OS by Google" screen. After trying to figure this out online (because Mobvoi has absolutely no customer service, seriously, none), I came across some others with the exact same issue. My problem is that even some of the fixes, mine never recovered. I will admit that at first it worked great and was priced lower than other smart watches. It worked as advertised, with the battery really shining in comparison to other watches. I was really happy with the watch. But I've now learned a very important lesson! Don't trust an unknown company with your hard earned money, just pay the extra and go with Samsung, Google, Apple, Fitbit, or Garmin.

Every generation, Mobvoi improves on an already fantastic product. Faster and smoother than any watch I've used so far with excellent battery life, never had to worry about it dying on me with a few days use and the fast charge feature is awesome. Personally, I'm still a fan of square smartwatches, but this one makes me reconsider that. This watch just looks great, and feels great on the wrist, not too bulky. Tracking measurements seem to be accurate. The health app companion is good, providing all that data in one place and easy to review. The dual screen is an absolute gamechanger, saving battery life while providing essential information and then using the OLED for the full smartwatch capabilities. Wear OS 3 on this watch runs very well and is mostly, though with a lot of Mobvoi's apps pre-installed that unfortunately can't be uninstalled. Overall performance is great, navigating feels quick and easy, apps don't feel like they're taking forever to load. Can't go wrong with this watch as Mobvoi continues to improve its offerings with each new generation!

After several weeks of use I want to share my user experience and some impressions using the TicWatch pro 5. The Ticwatch pro 5 has been an excellent upgrade from my previous Ticwatch E3 which is still working without any problems, but the Ticwatch pro 5 caught my attention because of the multiple improvements in performance and style and the option to choose between two colors (Obsidian / Sandstone). I really liked the Ultra Low Power (ULP) display as it includes much more information than before and it is possible to change it using the crown; you can switch to see heart rate (bpm), calories (KCAL), blood oxygen and compass. All this using only the essential mode display and consuming very little battery power. The Ultra Low Power (ULP) display is fully visible outdoors even in bright sunlight and in low light environments it has a very nice illumination which you can change color, which I think is another excellent feature. Speaking of battery life, I use the watch during the day with all the sensors on and the charge has lasted about 4 days using the watch even at night. I love using the bedtime mode to prevent the screen from turning on with hand movement while lying in bed. The fast charge on this watch works perfectly and allows you to charge the device very quickly. You can let it charge when you go to take a shower and when you get out it will be ready to go. The charging cable has a magnetic attachment and snaps easily into place. The rotating crown makes this watch much easier to use. By double tapping the crown you can access the recently used app very easily which I find very useful. Using the crown to scroll through the different menus in the system makes the user experience more enjoyable. Wear OS runs perfectly on this watch, in my day to day I receive many notifications from different messaging applications, also emails and calls; I can send quick responses from the watch without any problems or slow down. I have my headphones connected via bluethoot to the watch and I can listen music with Spotify even without an internet connection as the device has enough storage space to download my favorite playlists. One of the cons is that to synchronize the watch with my android smartphone I had to download another application (Mobvoi Health) because the one I used with my previous watch does not work. This new application has more options as well as having the ability to download many covers/faces for the watch for free having other paid options as well. The different sensors that brings this watch work very well. The heart rate monitor is pretty accurate as well as the blood oxygen meter. The sleep monitoring has given me much more accurate data than my previous watch which in my opinion was already very good. To use the compass the watch asked me to do an initial calibration by making a figure eight and after that it shows very accurate data. The AMOLED screen and the Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 processor make this watch one of the best on the market in terms of performance and price. The overall construction of this watch is one of the best on the market as it has a very premium look. This watch is bigger than my old Ticwatch E3, it doesn't really feel like it, and the size definitely doesn't feel uncomfortable on my wrist. The band has a good quality (is made out of a silicon type material) and fits perfectly without loosening,it can be changed easily as there are a variety of 24mm replacement band options on the market. The amoled screen has an excellent definition and the automatic brightness works perfectly adapting to any environment extremely fast, allowing you to see it with sunlight outdoors and in low light environments lowers its brightness to a comfortable level. Conclusion: The Ticwatch 5 pro far exceeded my expectations in design and performance. The battery life is one of its most important features and the performance of the system. If you were considering this watch as an option do not hesitate to purchase it, I can recommend this watch because it is one of the best options in terms of price / quality.

The TicWatch 5 pro packaging is well laid out. Sliding out the main box felt premium. So was the inside of the box. The overall unboxing experience felt premium. The box it is shipped in is well packaged. The first thing you see when opening the box is the TicWatch 5 pro. The sandstone color has a neutral looking tone to it. It looks great for someone who likes light colors. Although I do wish there were more colors like grey or light blue, The sandstone color looks discrete on my wrist. There is a nice polish around the watch face. The things it comes with are a charging cable, user manuals and a card to show you the company transparency policy. It does not come with a charging brick but you are able to use your phone's charging brick. Charging the watch is simple and short. From 0 to 100% only took about 50 minutes. The feeling of the watch on my wrist feels almost as though it is not there. The strap it comes with is made out of a silicon type material but if you don't like how it sticks to your skin there is a leather strap that feels very nice. I have been using the leather strap since day 2 of getting the watch and it feels significantly better in my opinion. Setting up the watch is very straightforward and simple. Using google fast pairing technology it popped right up on my phone for pairing. If the watch dies and you charge it and turn it back on it will automatically connect to your phone. If you get too far from your phone and the watch disconnects when you get close to your phone again it will reconnect to your phone. When you are not looking at your TicWatch 5 pro it will dim the screen and when you flick your wrist to look at the watch the screen will brighten up. A few features that are useful for me are a heart rate monitor, find my phone, sleep monitor, essential mode, media controls, stress monitor, and most of the health monitoring tools on the watch. There are more features but I personally don't use them, like the compass, barometer, altometer and O2 sensor. A feature that I used and thought was pretty neat was being able to connect my headphones to my watch and listen to downloaded music. Also being able to take calls from the watch is great too i have used that From my use I found that the heart rate monitor and sleep monitor are rather accurate. There are many different digital watch faces for it. There are detailed watch faces like the one it starts you out with and then there are minimalistic faces. From the faces I tested out you can change the color of and change a certain quick access feature. Like if you wanted to pull up youtube music you can set the quick access part to it. I set my watch face the same color as the sandstone watch color. Durability for the watch is great too! Reason for saying this is because I have scratched many surfaces with it and it still looks the same as when I got it out of the box. There have been multiple times where I have accidentally scratched it on my wooden desk. Hate to also put this in here but I have also accidentally scratched my moms steel fridge and nothing happened to the watch. I haven't fully tested the waterproofness on it but I have washed my hands with it on and nothing happened to it. Personally I would never swim with it on because I'm a freak when it comes to water and electronics coming in contact to be fully submerged but I do feel comfortable wearing it while washing my hands. My overall experience with the TicWatch 5 pro is great. Throughout the entire time of having this watch on my wrist the only bad thing I could think of is the starter silicone watch band. I personally would recommend the leather strap. I believe what Mobvoi has made here is Amazing compared to the competitors.

I will start with what I like since that list is short. Watch looks nice, so far no scratches on the screen. Lot of features and nice display. The worst is the battery life. They claim 80 hours, maybe if you have nothing running and put in battery saver mode. I am lucky to get 36 hours and charging takes a long time. This is not a great fitness watch, screen is hard to read if running and you can not change what you see on the main screen so if you want to see heart rate you have to scroll to that screen while running or riding bike. Quick access workout screen does not put you in the workout you click on. Treadmill running is way off and no way to calibrate. Yes the price is good but the watch is not.

I purchased my TicWatch Pro 5 in August 2023 as a functional watch to wear while exercising and a good-looking one (imho) while going out. I am coming from the TicWatch Pro 3 and TicWatch C2 (which are still in rotation and are awesome watches). I have also owned the GTH Pro, but it is primarily utilized by a family member. I’ve stuck with Mobvoi because I know what to expect with the interface, menu navigation, and battery life. I am not in Apple’s mobile ecosystem, plus I do not like square faces. I am also not a fan of fitness-only oriented watches/bands (e.g. Garmin, FitBit, etc.). I was in need of a refresh due to the dwindling battery capacities of my rotation of watches. The TicWatch line made the most sense to me. Below are some highlights (and surprises!) of my usage over the past two months. Battery/charging: I’ve been toying with the idea of going on longer runs, and battery life is paramount. I am a slow runner, so I needed a watch with good battery life. Paired with the fast charging, the Pro 5 exceeded my expectations. I have gone approximately 4.5 days before recharging. I believe the genius of this is due to the watch’s Essential Mode and dual screens. Similar to the Pro 3, the dual display is excellent and extends the time between charges. (Speaking of charging, I use the same cable that came with my Pro 3 to charge the Pro 5!) I appreciate the fast charging - taking me from the tens percentile to the eighties in approximately 30-35 minutes. The fast charge helps me get a charge in before going out, especially if i haven’t charged in several days. Mobvoi Health app: the app was a surprise find for me. I had no idea Mobvoi created another app. The app tracks metrics such as: sleep, VO2 max, heart rate, activity, etc.; all of which are helpful for tracking overall health. The original and current apps are similar in layout, so navigation was easy. I use the app to track my steps, sleep, workouts, and runs. A couple of things I would like to see more of: more watch faces (more free watch faces), and more watch bands. Beyond the similarities this watch has with other premium smartwatches (i.e., notifications, apps, etc., all of which it has), I believe what sets the Pro 5 apart is the battery life. I can wear the Pro 5 without worrying too much about the battery. That, to me, is gold. Thanks for reading.

Ich habe mir die TicWatch Pro 5 gekauft, weil ich von den Konzept mit den zwei Displays absolut überzeugt bin. Das will ich einfach nicht mehr missen und als ich die neue TicWatch gesehen habe, habe ich kurz überlegt und mir die dann doch gekauft. Bei der Farbe habe ich das neue Sandstone gewählt, weil es einfach Mal eine andere Farbe als schwarz (oder wie auch immer das im Einzelfall bezeichnet wird) ist. Ich habe bereits die Vorgängermodelle und habe mich nun auf das Upgrade gefreut. Und das hat sich gelohnt. Die einzelnen Aspekte Mal im Detail beleuchtet: Verpackung: Daran gibt es nichts auszusetzen. Die Uhr und das Zubehör sind gut verpackt und kommen in einer ländlichen Verpackung aus Karton. Die Verpackung ist stabil und sieht gut aus. Nicht zu viel als nötig und trotzdem dem Zweck mehr als gerecht. Der erste optische Eindruck, noch bevor man die Uhr selbst sieht, ist entsprechend positiv. Zubehör: Neben der Uhr liegt als Zubehör bei: - Ein Ladekabel - Papierkram Zum Ladekabel: Es hat auf der einen Seite einen Standard USB-A Anschluss und auf der anderen Seite einen magnetischen Anschluss für die Verbindung zur Uhr. Das Kabel ist ca. 1 Meter lang und hat eine flache Form. Das Ladekabel ist kompatibel zum Ladekabel der TicWatch Pro 3. Zum Armband: Das Armband ist hellbraun, passend zur eigentlichen Uhr und aus Gummi. Das Armband selbst ist leicht flexibel und macht alle Bewegungen etc. ohne Weiteres mit. Das Material hemmt auch ein verrutschen auf dem Arm. Das Armband kann ohne Weiteres leicht mit anderen gängigen Armbändern ausgetauscht werden. Die Uhr an sich: Die Uhr an sich ist leicht. Das Gehäuse ist aus Aluminium (denke ich) und entsprechend lackiert und sieht hochwertig aus. Die beiden Knöpfe haben ein sehr gutes Feedback, sodass man gut mitbekommt wann ein Knopf gedrückt wurde. Einer der Knöpfe ist die Krone, welche im Vergleich zur TicWatch Pro 3 nun drehbar ist (incl. Entsprechender Funktion, z.B. zum scrollen). Um das runde Display herum ist ein Kranz mit einem schlicht gehaltenen Muster. Dieser ist nicht beweglich und rein dekorativ. Inbetriebnahme: Die TicWatch kam fast vollständig aufgeladen bei mir an. Ein kurzes gedrückt-halten des oberen Knopfes erweckte diese zum Leben. Zunächst erscheint das TicWatch Logo und anschließend kann die Einrichtung des auf WearOS basierten Betriebssystems der Uhr mit einem Tab auf den Bildschirm beginnen. Das Setup beginnt mit der Sprachauswahl. Standardmäßig ist Englisch die Sprache, aber auch Deutsch lässt sich ohne Scrollen direkt auswählen. Anschließend muss der "Papierkram" bestätigt werden und schon kann die Kopplung an das Smartphone beginnen. Dies funktionierte ohne größere Probleme und voll automatisch. Man musste lediglich die App Mobvoi Health zuvor auf dem Smartphone installieren, worauf man hingewiesen wird, und anschließend einen Kopplungscode eingeben. Das war es dann schon. Display: Die TicWatch Pro 5 hat eine Funktion, die mich ursprünglich zu ihrem Vorvorgänger geführt hat: Die Anzeige der Uhrzeit (und ein paar zusätzliche Infos), auch wenn das Display ausgeschaltet ist. Auch die TicWatch Pro 5 hat diese Funktion. Ähnlich wie bei ePaper Displays sind diese wesentlichen Informationen immer ablesbar, ohne dass das LED Display aktiviert werden muss. Bei Nacht muss eine Hintergrundbeleuchtung die Arbeit der Sonne übernehmen, sodass die Uhrzeit immer ablesbar ist. Batterielaufzeit: Beworben wird die Uhr mit einer Laufzeit von bis zu 80 Tagen. Das ist allerdings kein realistischer Wert. Dieser Wert KANN wahrscheinlich zustande kommen, wenn die Batterie voll aufgeladen, die Umgebungstemperatur nicht zu kalt und ausschließlich der Essential-Modus der Uhr aktiv ist. Also keine Smart-Funktionalität oder andere Funktionen abseits einer Standard Digitaluhr. Die Laufzeitangabe von 4 Tage (wenn man anfangs noch viel an der Uhr rumspielt) bis 5-7 Tage (im mittel- bis langfristigen Gebrauch) sind hier meiner Erfahrung nach realistisch. Die neue TicWatch Pro 5 hält auf jeden Fall merkbar länger als der Vorgänger. Und das Laden funktioniert, bei entsprechendem Ladegerät, super schnell. Innerhalb von etwas über einer Stunde war die Uhr von ca. 15% auf 100% geladen. Gesundheitsdaten: Vorab: ich kann über die Korrektheit der Daten nur eingeschränkt etwas sagen, da mir keine professionellen und zuverlässigen Geräte zur Verfügung stehen um die Werte zu verifizieren. Über die Apps TicAtmung, TicBlutsauerstoff, TicCare, TicGesundheit, TicPuls, TicÜbung, TicSchlaf und TicZen lassen sich diverse Körperwerte messen und auslesen. Z.T. sind diese in den Apps redundant zu finden. Die TicGesundheit App fast aber die allermeisten Daten zusammen. TicAtmung ist eine Unterstützung zur Entspannung durch Atemübungen. TicBlutsauerstoff misst den Blutsauerstoff. Im Vergleich zur Vorversion der TicWatch ist es nun endlich möglich eine permanente Überwachung des Wertes durchzuführen. Das geht zwar ordentlich auf die Batterie, aber für eine Überwachung z.B. von Schlafapnoe ist diese Funktion zwingend erforderlich. Ansonsten lässt sich noch eine 30 oder 60 minütige Messung einstellen. TicCare dient dazu Fitness und Gesundheitsdaten mit Freunden und Familie zu teilen. TicGesundheit fasst die Daten der verschiedenen Sensoren zusammen. Z.B. Kalorien Verbrauch, zurückgelegte Entfernung oder Höhe, Trainingszeit, Herzfrequenz im Laufe des Tages, Blutsauerstoff im Laufe des Tages, Schlafqualität der letzten Nacht. TicPuls lässt einen den Puls messen und zeigt dazu diverse Auswertungen. Auch Auffälligkeiten wie Aussetzer oder unregelmäßige Schläge sollen so erkannt und davor gewarnt werden. TicÜbung ist die Fitnessapp mit der man diverse sportliche Aktivitäten aufzeichnen kann und so die interessanten Daten zu der entsprechenden Übung sieht. Die Uhr erkennt aber auch automatisch wenn man beginnt Sport zu machen und startet den Übungsmodus automatisch. TicSchlaf zeichnet den Schlaf auf und wann leichter Schlaf, Rem-Schlaf oder Tiefschlaf stattfindet. So kann man morgens ggf. sehen, ob man etwas an seinem Schlafverhalten ändern sollte oder man immernoch müde ist, weil man quasi keinen Tiefschlaf hatte. TicZen soll einen ähnlich wie TicAtmung entspannen und einen zu einer kurzen Pause anregen. Mich stört an allen Apps, dass diese bei jedem Start Abfragen auf welche Sensoren sie zugreifen dürfen, solange man einen der Zugriffe nicht erlaubt hat. Dazu zählt auch, dass man den Apps (nicht) erlaubt die Daten in die Cloud zu übertragen. Weitere Apps ohne Gesundheitsbezug sind: TicBarometer zum Messen des aktuellen Luftdrucks. In Verbindung mit den GPS kann hier auch die aktuelle Höhe mitteilen. Wichtig ist, dass die Höhe zuvor kalibriert wurde. Ansonsten zeigt die Höhe Quatsch an. TicKompass nutzt den eingebauten Kompass um die Uhr als Kompass zu nutzen. Companion App "Mobvoi Health" für das Smartphone: Auch hier: Jedes mal Nachfrage der Zustimmung zum Upload der Daten in die Cloud. Auch wenn diese immer wieder verwehrt wurde. Konsequenter Weise müsste dies auch nach getätigter Zustimmung jedes Mal erfolgen oder, wie im Falle einer Zustimmung, nur ein Mal. Ansonsten ist die App sehr übersichtlich im positiven Sinne und zeigt vor allem die Gesundheitsdaten gebündelt an. Sie versucht durch ein wöchentliches Ziel einem zudem zu mehr Bewegung zu animieren. Auch kann man hier kostenlose und kostenpflichte Watchfaces auswählen sowie Audioaufnahmen und Screenshots von der TicWatch herunterladen. Auch können hier, wie in der TicCare App, über TicCare andere Personen mit der App gekoppelt und verglichen werden. Am Ende also nichts, was man nicht auf der TicWatch machen könnte, allerdings Dank größerem Display deutlich übersichtlicher. Im Grunde hat sich außer dem Namen und dem Logo bei der App im Vergleich zur Zeit der Erscheinung der TicWatch 3 nichts verändert. GPS / Kompass: Neben der Fitness Apps, kann z.B. Google Maps über den Play Store installiert werden. Damit lässt sich mit der Uhr dann auch navigieren. Der Empfang ist auch in schwierigen Positionen weiterhin gut und auf wenige Meter genau. Lautsprecher / Mikrofon: Natürlich ist der Lautsprecher kein Hifi Sound, aber um kurzfristig an ein Gespräch vom Smartphone anzunehmen reicht es. Natürlich können dann die Leute in der Umgebung auch mithören war der gegenüber so daher, da das dann aus dem Lautsprecher kommt. Die Qualität ist den Umständen entsprechend gut. Man versteht den gegenüber deutlich und der gegenüber versteht einen auch gut. In ruhiger Umgebung merkt der gegenüber nicht einmal einen Unterschied zum normalen Smartphone. Bluetooth: Via Bluetooth wird die Smartwatch mit dem Smartphone verbunden. Aber auch ein Bluetooth Headset kann, z.B. beim Sport treiben, mit der Smartwatch verbunden werden. Somit kann über ein Headset/Kopfhörer dann Musik gehört oder auch telefoniert werden. Allerdings kann man das Headset dann auch gleich mit dem Smartphone koppeln… Zusammenfassung: Nach mehr als einer Woche im Einsatz im täglichen Gebrauch und einigen Tagen im Urlaub macht die Uhr einen sehr soliden Eindruck. Das große Display und auch die bessere Geschwindigkeit durch aktuelle Hardware und WearOS 4 (offenbar mit Option zum späteren Upgrade auf WearOS 5) machen auf mich einen sehr zufrieden stellenden Eindruck. Auch das neue Menü von WearOS 4 gefällt mir ebenso wie die Möglichkeit aktuell wiedergegebene Medien auf dem Smartphone zu kontrollieren (z.B. YouTube ist Spotify) ohne extra eine App öffnen zu müssen. Auch die neue Farbe gefällt mir, die ich bei der Bestellung noch als "gewagt" empfunden habe. Nun aber sie durchaus dezent und alltagstauglich empfinde. Ich vermisse derzeit noch eine Version mit Mobilfunk, aber die kommt ja vielleicht noch. Von mir daher auch für die TicWatch 5 Pro volle fünf Sterne!

My watch just died after I dived with them in 1.6 meter pool. The watch survived multiple pool swimming sessions without specifically swimming underwater, but after diving for 1.6 meters there was some water fog on the inside of the sensors. The watch does not charge nor turns on. Otherwise it used to be a nice watch...

Een smartwatch kan nog zoveel functies hebben, maar als de batterij binnen een dag leeg is, heb je er alsnog niets aan. Daarom stapte ik eerder over van een Skagen Falster 3 (gelijk aan de Fossil gen 5) naar de TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra. Opeens hoefde ik niet meer dagelijks mijn horloge op te laden (als ik überhaupt etenstijd al haalde), maar hoefde ik pas na 3 dagen op te laden. Toch had de TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra nog wat kleine verbeterpunten. Daar hoort een nieuwe WearOS-versie overigens niet bij. De oudere versie voldeed meer dan prima. Hoe dan ook, de TicWatch Pro 5 komt met de laatste WearOS versie en nog veel meer verbeteringen. -Zo is het aantal sensoren toegenomen met o.a. een temperatuursensor, maar ook het kompas werkt nu. -Daarnaast was het energiezuinige scherm op de Pro 3 Ultra al geweldig, maar voegt de Pro 5 daar nog flink wat functies aan toe. De meest essentiële is voor mij dat ik nu ook op het LCD-scherm kan zien of er notificaties zijn binnengekomen. -Een andere grote verbetering is de trilmotor. Die was bij de Pro 3 Ultra vooral hoorbaar, maar minder goed voelbaar. Bij de Pro 5 is hij stil, beter voelbaar en geeft hij een prettige haptische feedback wanneer je het aanraakscherm of de digital crown gebruikt. -Die digital crown is overigens ook een verbetering, hoewel ik daar eerst wat huiverig voor was. Op mijn Skagen had ik ook zo'n kroon die tevens ingedrukt kon worden. Probleem daarmee was dat de kroon behoorlijk ver uitstak, waardoor ik regelmatig onbedoeld de Google Assistent activeerde wanneer ik mijn pols boog. Dat is bij de Pro 5 gelukkig niet het geval. Met de kroon scroll je sneller door de menu's en bij het indrukken ga je een stap terug. Er wordt geen assistent geactiveerd. -Die assistent zit er overigens helemaal niet op. Dat kan voor sommige gebruikers een gemis zijn, maar ik ben nooit iemand geweest die a la Michael Knight tegen zijn horloge praat. Of de Google Assistent later nog wordt toegevoegd met een software update vind ik dan ook niet interessant. -Tot slot is de TicWatch Pro 5 voorzien van nieuwe processor. De Pro 3 Ultra was al geen traag horloge, maar de Pro 5 is net weer een stukje "snapier". Op papier is er nog een hele lijst aan verbeteringen, zoals 5ATM waterdichtheid, maar al met al heb ik vooral gekeken naar waar ik een smartwatch voor gebruik en hoe dit nieuwe horloge zich verhoudt tot mijn vorige smartwatches. Uiteindelijk biedt de TicWatch Pro 5 eigenlijk alles wat ik van een smartwatch vraag en verwacht en worden alle (kleine) minpunten van de toch al geweldige Pro 3 Ultra zelfs verbeterd. Dikke aanrader!

För 1900kr får man inte en bättre klocka. Nu har den även wear os 4.

Lo Smartwatch Tichwatch pro 5 è veramente sensazionale. Ho avuto finora un Fossil gen 6 che resta per me forse il migliore in assoluto, ho voluto provare il Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 (avendo uno smartphone Samsung) e l'Amazfit Balance in quanto cercavo un orologio anche per i pagamenti contactless ma con questi ultimi due, purtroppo, non è stato possibile caricare le carte di pagamento. Quindi ho acquistato il Tichwatch pro 5 e devo dire che sono rimasto sbalordito. Il cinturino è molto buono e sembra resistente e spesso, il color sabbia è veramente carino e dà un tocco particolare alternativo al solito nero che si trova su quasi tutti i brani principali. Il quadrante è veramente bello e ben fatto. L'ho provato con il Tich esercizio e devo dire che è fatto bene, i dati dell'allenamento riportati chiari e completi. È dotato di retroilluminazione e devo dire che è ottima, risparmia molta batteria e dispone all'occhio di tutti i dati essenziali. Lo schermo è ben illuminato e la corona è davvero fluida e rapida rispondendo subito. Ha la chiamata SOS di emergenza per le cadute accidentali che ho trovato utile, dove puoi inserire i contatti a cui si vuole inviare la chiamata. Lo smartwatch supporta Google Pay e infatti ho caricato la mia Postepay standard e il Bancoposta per i pagamenti. Sono varie le app che si possono utilizzare per la musica e per gli allenamenti. Il punto forte è sicuramente la durata della batteria che con un uso tipico dura circa 4 giorni (il che è veramente tanto rispetto ad altri modelli in commercio che mediamente durano 1/2 giorni). Il mio Fossil durava 1 giorno circa e dovevo ricaricarlo quotidianamente anche più volte al giorno. Il Tichwatch, inoltre, mi ha colpito nel prezzo, dove a mio parere, qualità prezzo, non ha eguali. Il Fossil in più aveva Alexa integrato che questo modello non ha anche se possiede comunque assistente vocale. Le notifiche sono perfette con le app ed ha molte funzioni. L'app è ricca di impostazioni anche se la scelta dei quadranti risulta un po' scarna, ma in finale ho ben poco da dire, al momento sono estremamente soddisfatto e lo consiglio a occhi chiuso per chi possiede un telefono Android.
