This is a massive leap forward for Mobvoi!
I have had this watch for about a month now. First impressions upon unboxing were impressive. It feels really solid and robust. Upon switching on, the initial set up process was simple.This watch is absolutely packed with great features. The "dual screen" means that you can use the watch to see the time etc, without the full colour bright screen kicking in every time.With both Google's own WearOS as the basis for the watch and Mobvoi's additional apps on top give you all the features and functionality you could need.The large touchscreen is very clear and wonderfully responsive, making it very easy to use, even for something like calculator, where the margin for error is relatively small, the watch did really well.I've used the watch to record steps, running (GPS), walking (GPS), and fitness workouts, which it handled comfortably. Tracking day to day health through heart rate, oxygen saturations and sleep tracking are all included and seem to work flawlessly.Battery life is good, even with all the features switched on I got 3-4 days out of it.Most of the settings are managed through the watch itself, and although I would like to be able to do this through the app too, it's not a big inconvenience.The watch/app also has the ability to link with other sports tracking apps, like Google Fit (obviously), and Strava, which for me was an absolute must.Final thing worth mentioning is the notifications which work well and also allow you to send some basic responses from the watch.

Stylish Smartwatch for Both Casual and Fitness use
Why do I like it? - because in the ‘Smartwatches Family’ this watch comes with the ‘Dual screen display’ feature that makes the battery last longer. And because it works with my non-Samsung phone better than the Samsung Gear watch (Samsung turned off some features when Samsung Gear is not used with a Samsung Phone). -because this is a watch for both casual and fitness use (many choices available for watch faces). As far I’m concerned, I have bought it because it helps me a lot at work (as a Personal Assistant) because I am asked to keep my phone on silent while with a client and it may feel inappropriate to keep on checking my phone every minute for important (job related) messages or missed calls, so I can monitor my phones notifications on my watch. Also, it comes handy when I need to set a reminder or alarm /timer using the built-in Google assistant or Alexa** (that can be installed from Google Play Store and paid for a one-time small fee to unlock the premium Alexa). I can use voice memo as well (recording on the watch and transferring the file to the phone, after synchronizing, where it can be played). **Google assistant on TicWatch can set reminders on the connected Google account, but, due to a Google Wear software bug unrelated to Mobvoi/TicWatch, I suppose, reminders are never displayed on the watch (but on the phone and all other smart devices) so Alexa adds a plus of functionality. In all other aspects, Google Assistant on the watch works fine with voice commands (examples of what I use: switching on/off smart devices, translating words, spelling, searching for answers on the internet and others). With my job, it’s important to monitor the SpO2 levels, because I am still required by my P&P to wear a mask and sometimes I ‘forget’ to breathe deeply, as it happened in the past when my levels dropped under 95%. The SpO2 sensor is really useful. Other uses: With a 3rd party app like Stocard I store my fidelity cards or tickets (QR or bar codes) and I can use them fast when needed, for example before paying with GPay (NFC) from my watch. For this use, I noticed that one can pay with the watch even if the phone is not connected to the watch (I forgot it in the car). Need to mention it is said that the watch needs synchronizing with the phone every now and then to add more tokens to be used for future payments (while connected on bluetooth). Other features that I tested: - Multiple choice watch faces, found on Mobvoi app or Google Play Store - Fast processor, responsive. - Posh look and the interchangeable strap size is 22mm so it can be easily swapped for a leather one if you would like to use the watch as an accessory for your smart clothes and not for fitness. In the actual TicWatch version, the previous posh silicon strap looking like a leather one has been replaced by a sturdy look like fluora rubber. For whoever may want to swap it with a real leather strap (size 22mm), this is possible, like I did. Thinner watch than TicWatch Pro 3 GPS by 1mm. Lighter than that by 0.2 g Good 577mAh battery. With moderate use of display, sleep function use, O2, hearth 24/7, in smart mode the battery lasts 48-58 hrs. Some people claimed that it could last up to 72 hours (depending on how many active sensors, display’s brightness, and display’s waking up frequency). (Retina LTPO OLED display should adapt to what the user is doing in terms of power consumption and variability of the refresh rate which is done dynamically to save battery.) One could argue that the older version TicWatch Pro 3 GPS is as good as this version at a better price, however there are some improvements like: - Improved durability compared to the older brother TicWatch Pro 3 GPS as this watch’s case has been upgraded from metal and plastic to metal and high-strength nylon with fiberglass - both have been certified IP68 Waterproof and Swim Suitable however, the present version has been tested and achieved Military Standard 810G - Additionally, the Ultra’s LCD’s backlight has been given the option to be changed to a variety of colours to choose from the ‘Essentials’ menu (for saving the battery, though, there is an option to be set to ‘default’ white). - SpO2, Heart rate and heart rate variability HRV sensors can be set to 24/7, useful for monitoring one’s sleep and if you want more data than TicSleep app provides, 3rd party sleep monitor applications can be used successfully (I use ‘Sleep as Android’ paid version because I got addicted to this app and because it has a smart wake-up/alarm feature). - As previous versions: good speaker, crystal clear sound when used for calls or with the Smart assistants as described above. Spotify watch app has been added extra functionality, it can play sound on the watch itself, but sometimes switching to listening on the watch it’s a temperamental thing so I recommend using the watch as a remote control for Spotify playing sound on laptop, phone (with Bluetooth earbuds connected to phone) or Google Smart Display. Hopefully Spotify will improve this feature as TicWatch cannot be blamed for 3rd party applications. I would like to mention that I don’t have too much spare time for fitness but I noticed the automated fitness tracker TicExercise started in two instances for me: (fast) walking and treadmill (indoor run); so with my limited exercising time I did not use many workout programs, but it is stated to have more than 100+ workout modes of which I noticed some ‘interesting’ ones: Tai-Chi and Yoga that I’m going to use soon 😊. Overall, I am impressed with this watch and I like the previous versions as well (Ticwatch E3 - budget price - and Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS because they run with the same memory RAM: 1GB / ROM: 8GB and Qualcomm® Snapdragon Wear™ 4100 and Mobvoi dual processor system), only this got better.

Nice watch, just a shame about battery life
it looks nice and feels ok while wearing and I wear my watch nearly 24/7, the only time I take it off is to charge, the battery isn't that brilliant about 2 days before it needs charging, you can have like an eco mode to make battery life longer but u can't really do anything on the watch while in that mode, you just see the time, date, battery level and step counter, in normal mode there are quite a few things you can do, track all your fitness stuff, use apps, make or receive calls, controll music onyour phone plus more, the thing is though those things will drain the battery quicker while in use
