TicWatch Pro 2020 Fitness Smartwatch with 1GB RAM, built in GPS Layered Display Long Battery Life, NFC, 24H Heart Rate, Sleep Tracking, Music, IP68 Waterproof, Wear OS by Google with Android/iOS Black

Okay this watch is perfect in my opinion because the best watch tied for first is the Galaxy watch series but if you don't have a Samsung device then this watch clearly will cover any Android device it has the secondary LCD screen which is much better than an always-on display but you can still have an always-on if you want also if you really want to milk the battery I don't have Wi-Fi on only Bluetooth the NFC I turn on when I needed it only takes an extra second but it is incredibly fast when you use Google pay the heart rate I checked manually I don't have it on my watch face it's only two swipes away and the step count of course it's running active this watch has a battery saver mode called essential and what that allows is only the LCD screen and the date and the time and the step count and manually checking the heart rate is all available but extending your battery a hundred times if you're running low or if you just want to conserve now that would turn off the watch in the background but at least you wouldn't have a black screen you can still have functionality it charges at a really good rate about 1% a minute so I would say from dead it's about an hour and a half that is pretty fast also it's Army grade durable people say it's heavy but not really just if you're holding it in your hand but not when it's on your wrist it's evenly distributed you can use any strap you want I personally took one from an older watch that I liked and put it on quite easily and saved the leather exterior with the silicone safe for exercise interior off so I wouldn't wrinkled or damage the leather unless I wanted to go out the battery the memory storage speed are all on points with Galaxy from Samsung my brother has it we did a side-by-side the Difference Maker is using wear OS in a positive way because then you can make the watch do what you want even if the watch like other watches only do a certain amount in respect to messaging you can download apps that have threads or you can go back to your emails and then initiate conversation as well as check the past conversation so that's pretty huge because only in 2020 with the new Galaxy watch can you start doing that but you're limited by their App Store 1 gig of RAM is mandatory for a fluid experience even though it's running at 2100 Snapdragon that was still build from the ground up for wear OS and the 3100 is slightly snappier but not worth the extra money I use this watch hard so the conservation I have used by turning off certain things is only 2 milk the battery for how I use it it'll be different for how you use it but this is because I pushed the watch and still able to get two to three days battery use I take it off the charger even if I'm not using it it's a magnetic charger and I just leave it in standby or if it's overnight I could throw it in the central mode whereas the watches off but still functional as I mentioned earlier if you don't like how it vibrates or wakes up the screen you can download feel the wear if you want text WhatsApp and emails you can download other wear apps they might cost a dollar here and there but they're completely worth it because it allow you to do things all other watches won't do and give you complete freedom also the microphone or speaker is underneath the watch not on the side but it's very clear and it's near the curve of your wrist it's not against your wrist so it's louder and still clear and phone calls through Bluetooth are incredibly clear and great if anyone is having issues or questions with things you can ask me but I think I found a way around everything that wasn't a negative just I wanted to do what I wanted to do on there even viewing pictures or browsing the net if you hit a link from an email are all doable not to mention the millions of watch faces you can create or get not off the bat obviously with downloading apps it's got 4 gigs of storage but only two gigs are available and you'll probably end up using 800 Megs the reason for this is that where OS will take up that much memory so it shortens it but you don't really need to do anything with that storage so you should have ample amount unless you want to load music on there to be independent of the phone and attach your Bluetooth earphones to the watch I personally use where to fi so I can stream Bluetooth without skipping perfectly to the watch if I need the sound to come through there these are all apps that manipulate the watch to run how you want it or how you think you should run it as opposed to what all watches including this one will give you rightfully so I think the only thing is if you want to control vibration you have to get feel the wear brightness is amazing if it's on automatic for outdoors indoors I would say safely 3 out of 5 is good enough brightness the battery I believe is about 417 milliamp which is pretty damn good I'm last pretty damn good if you set it up properly the only watches I like that are on point with this watch is the new Galaxy of 2020 the old Galaxy that came out the same time as this one and the Apple watch but that one drains quickly but maybe using my advice might last longer other than that these are the only three you need unless you want a standalone SIM card experience then you would get this watch in the LTE version I hope this helps I know it was long I apologize for the grammar because I'm using voice to text thank you and if you purchase this enjoy if you have any questions feel free to ask

Update to my previous review, I received a 3rd watch and this one charges. As for functionality it's hard to say. To be honest I still wear the Garmin and quarantine. The days I have worn it out I can say the battery life is not the Garmin which has become the standard. It is better than my Apple watch I believe and a good replacement for that.It will take more time to run it through its paces and see how things shake out but this is certainly better than the original one I received. I will update this accordingly as I run it through the paces.Update: continued:I had a hard time submitting the review so I had time to run it through its paces. Battery 1-2 days. I compare this unfavorable to the Fenix on my other wrist but its not the same kind of watch to be fair. After that it switches to the led mode which at least gives your time and steps which is good enough. How long that lasts, who can tell Rona lockdown.Apps its android OS which is a bit different but I would still compare this favorable to the Apple watch I had. That said major point, I wore it in the show and it works compared to my apple watch which does on contact with water. Huge plus. I got used to not charging my watch every day now I have to again but that is just the smart watch market generally.Comes with a great bank that both stylish leather and nice rubber on inside that is comfortable. I might replace it with quick on and off band because again its needs to be charged frequently but over all very satisfied especially with the customer service which was amazing.______________________________________________________________________________________________________Original reviewI was waiting for this to come out since it was announced. I didn't get a free test version and "reviewed" it before it was released, look at the dates. This is an honest review.The first thing is it looks nice. I have had an apple watch which this was to replace and I transition back to android and I have a Fenix 3 which I wear for work and harder days. It is not much bigger than the Fenix 3 an obviously is bigger than the Apple watch. NBD to me.My issue came with use. So when I opened the watch it was dead. NBD charge it. I snap on the charge leave it and come back a bit later to pair it up etc. Weird it is not charged. Ok maybe it takes time. So I leave it some more. Come back nope. Maybe it is really dead from the factory. Leave it some more. Come back, nothing. Ok its go to be the plug. It's not like they give you a plug but maybe it's my plug. Let me find a plug I know will work. I do and leave it. Come back nothing. Ok at this point this watch is not working and I am glad I am not depending on it. Easy review 1 start send it back junk should have trusted a reputable company can't test the functionality.I took it to work and with all the time we have I fiddle with it. It seems to charge/turn on when it's in my hand but not otherwise. Interesting. Closer examination, the charge does not sit properly. See the photo and the silver gap when it sits on the charger.Yes they designed the metal connections with so much tension they do not charge the watch because the magnet on the charger can't pull it close enough to engage the charge function unless you press it down. So experiment time.I place the watch flat on the charger and put a book on it to press it down and leave it to charge. And that was the trick there it is the watch turns on. Ok glitch in the matrix give it another chance, probably just needed a 1 time assist. NOPE.This is how it work. It will not charge without the watch being pushed down. That is just not practical. If you put you watch on the charger but forget to put something heavy on top you don't have a functional watch the next day? I mean come on. This cannot be something that was not seen in the manufacturing process. Why ship it and take people's money?Now I have to figure how to wipe it and send it back. An example of way too much hype and not enough practical testing. I didn't expect it to function like an expensive Fenix but I did expect it to function.
