Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS Smartwatch Qualcomm SDW4100 and Mobvoi Dual Processor System Wear OS Smart Watch for Men Fatigue Assessment 3-45 Days Battery NFC Mic Speaker iOS Android Compatible

What do I like about the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra?Hardware and design. My last TicWatch was a Pro2020 felt like a “pro” watch and that continues here with the Pro 3 Ultra. Mobvoi put together a case made of stainless steel and “high-strength nylon with fiberglass” to give it toughness and a premium feel. Unlike my TicWatch Pro 2020, or my Fossil The Fossil felt quite cheap and gross on the wrist, the Pro 3 Ultra is not going to be mistaken for anything but a high-end smartwatch.It’s a familiar design, with two pushers and a subtle change to the bezel that help differentiate it from my 2020 Pro. It is large as hell (47mm x 48mm), People say it fit on smaller wrists, but something about how it sits on my smallish wrist doesn’t offend me. I’ve worn the Ultra for 6 days now and while I haven’t ignored the size, it hasn’t bothered me. The weight, at 41g, is on the higher end as well, but again, it’s not so heavy that it’ll impact your mobility or anything.The pushers have a purposeful click to them without any wiggle or cheapness. There are not rotating crowns or buttons, although always found that these rotating features on other watches were clunky when you have your hands full. Which seems like I always have both of my hands full. watch to read my messages Check my Calendar or look up something on the net. IE what spark plug do I use for this Snowblower. The 22mm included band is quite thick I think I like the leather look band on my Pro 2020 but it’s a well-made rubber strap. You could really put this through it all and I’d imagine this band will hold up to some abuse. Of course, you can quick swap it with any other 22mm band you may prefer.Overall, the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra looks like a premium smartwatch that can take on an adventure yet dress up if you need it to. And yeah, I’ve worn it for workouts I work at a Hardware store so I can tell you it has taken a beating with no signs of damage. I wear daily with normal clothes or dressed up for date nights and it wears just fine. You can change the face to any of hundreds of faces dressy or fun faces in seconds.Performance. As I just mentioned above, the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra runs the Snapdragon Wear 4100 with dual processor system. I can tell you what would take minutes with my Pro 2020 takes seconds now.I can tell you is that this watch performs solidly. After initial setup, I have zero complaints about opening apps, installing updates, jumping between notifications and ongoing activities, using GPS, activating gestures, etc. This watch is certainly taking advantage the dual processor and 1 Gig of Ram and 8 gigs of Rom.Again, it’s a 4100, which we know is capable, it is miles ahead of all those Snapdragon Wear 2100 and 3100 watches. It is faster and then the Pro 2020 I just know that the watch is a pleasure to use.Battery life. Mobvoi once again tossed a 577mAh battery into a watch The577mAh battery is big enough that it’ll get you through 4 days of heavy use. That’s what I’m saying, and I have not tried to save any battery by limiting settings I turned on every sensor and turned on every permission.My setup has been, always-on display on, and all the health tracking activated, like continuous heartrate monitoring, sleep tracking, SpO2 tracking, and their new mental fatigue/energy level measuring feature. It’s all on.Back to battery. I’ve been wearing the Pro 3 Ultra for almost 6 full days and I’ve charged it 0nce. That’s pretty good! The first charge lasted a full 72hours (14% battery remaining) and included sleep tracking, always-on display, and an 8 hour of workout tracking. The 2nd charge sat at 54% after 36 hours or so with Maps tracking my 30 minutes of hike, a 30 min driving directions home.If you were to use the dual display, turn off a couple of fitness features, and not use the GPS every day, I could see this watch coming close to the suggested 7 days hours of use. This battery is so big.The app Menu is amazing it provides you two rows of aps so no endless scrolling to find the app you want. Dump the Wear-OS apps for fitness and use the Tic apps supplied they are well thought out.It will fully breakdown your sleep and the stages you were in before giving you a score the following morning. It has GPS, which I found to be very accurate. It’ll track your 24-7 heartrate and warn you if things look off, keep a running SpO2 score, remind you to move throughout the day, and (now) try to tell you if you are mentally fatigued and how your energy level is. I wanted to thank you for allowing me to test the Ticwatch Pro Ultra 3 it has been an amazing experience like I said in my review. The battery life is awesome. Even walking on average 5-20 miles a day at work I only have to charge it about every 3 to 5 days. Obviously I am in decent shape my wife and I like to hike and horseback ride canoe on weekends. I have had a pacemaker since I was 19. That being said last December I had my Pacemaker replaced. Because of the pandemic I had to wait close to 5 days before they could get it replaced. During this time the pacemaker was on low power mode which means it was only pacing half of my heart. This was unnerving to say the least. The only thing that kept me confidant of my heart was my Ticwatch Pro Ultra. It kept me confidant that my heart rate didn’t drop to low, and my blood oxygen level was still in the 90 percent range. Then in June I had Covid and as My lungs filled with fluid, I had the same self-assurance that I was healthy. So once again thank you making the TicWatch Pro Ultra 3 not only is it a great watch with an awesome battery that tracks my adventures but it also helps give me peace of mind when I am not at my top health.

Overall, I love this watch. I've used Samsung and older Ticwatches as every day wears and have experience with the Apple watch. The Ticwatch 3 Ultra is by far my favorite thus far. I wish it came with WearOS 3.x, but 2.x is not a deal breaker.The overall size is slightly larger, but even on small wrists, it was comfortable.Switching from the TicWatch E3 to the Ultra was a breeze. All of my apps and settings transferred over in minutes and we were ready to go.I have to talk about the battery life. I pulled the watch down to 14% battery and turned on essentials mode. After 5 days of every day wear in essentials mode, I rebooted the watch and the battery was at 9%. Absolutely amazing. Taking it for a spin with every feature enabled, I took it from the charger Friday morning and upon Monday night, I still had 20% battery left. Again, every feature enabled with full use for 4 days.All of this is possible because of the second screen. You get basic information, that is in the format of most digital watch faces out there already, with a backlight of 18 different colors. Perfect during the day and honestly no issue at night. Though I wish it was ambient sensing to make it darker at night, but I would keep battery life over ambient any day.Everything is quick to touch and operationally fast. No complaints beyond it still running WearOS2.x. Google searches show Mobvoi has been talking moving to WearOS 3.x for awhile, not sure the hold up.Power is still with a proprietary cable that other Ticwatches use. Another wish would be for either wireless charging or a universal port. Its not an end all, but I like to have a main at home and a spare to travel instead of constantly plugging / unplugging when on the go.Mobvoi just released TimeShow to create and share watch faces. A direct competitor to Facer and so far, has worked well. Not to review TimeShow here, but there are some tweaks I would suggest to search in it. Overall a great pair. Switching watch faces is fast and easy, as with most watches.Ignoring WearOS, but talking Mobvoi's specific Apps next. The workout tracking is a bit gimicky for most. I do not need a timer / heart rate tracker for curls, and weight lifting, and squats, and, and, and. The auto run / walk tracking worked great. GPS is incredibly fast at picking up compared to other watches out there and seemingly accurate.Everything water tracking worked great as well. It was a bit of an annoyance to have to dig through the settings to turn off touch to jump in the water, but if you do it regularly, its not terrible. If you use TicExercise "Pool Swimming", it'll auto enable no touch and clear the speaker when done.Being able to monitor all of your vitals is quiet entertaining, down to stress levels. I never seem stressed according to the watch, even though I mentally feel it. Maybe I'm an anomaly.Sleep tracking did not work great for me, but then again, no smart watch is able to accurately track my sleep. This goes across all watches I've tried.Quick summary:Pros:Battery lifeSecondary Smart screenSpeedOverall look / feelWants:Wireless chargingNon rubber bandWearOS 3.x
