One of the best Android smartwatches on the market, the TicWatch Pro 3 GPS gets an update, but is it worth the upgrade? In his latest review, Tshaka takes a look at the non-LTE version of Mobvoi’s TicWatch Pro series of smartwatches, the Ultra. The hardware tested, including new ECG monitoring without an actual ECG sensor. Tshaka also goes over the feature set and a bit of Ultra history.
Update: Mobvoi corrected an error on their previous materials. The processor is a custom Snapdragon 4100 which uses Mobvoi’s in house co-processor to handle the LCD screen and Essential Mode power. Mobvoi also notes their 4100 is running at a higher 2.0GHz clock speed than the standard Qualcomm 4100.

Great review 👍, it is worth to buy this watch now?
How can I make my icons bigger like you have when I tap button to see my apps?
Should I get this watch tiwatch pro 3 ultra or the pixel watch?? Need some help
So it's the end of 2022 almost. Do we know if wear os 3 will shine the light on this watch?
I just purchased one in hopes that it will be updated to newest os 3.
Just watched your review for this device. I currently have the Samsung Gear watch 3 and am currently in the market for a replacement/upgrade. I am looking for a watch that has decent battery life and is not neutered by brand exclusivity, considering that I have escaped the bonds of the Samsung ecosystem (I have an ROG phone). My first choice was the Google Pixel watch, but the deal breaker was the short battery life between charges. The TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS seems to tick the most checks on what i am looking for in a smartwatch.

BTW, I watched Super Inframan on its first run in a theater in St. Louis, MO. 😉
Can you pair your external heart rate monitor to the watch?
I'm in love with this watch I brought the galaxy watch 4 classic 46mm and was very disappointed with battery life so I returned it I kept my galaxy watch which give me better battery life
My question is the tic watch a good buy cause I really like Samsung but the not doing a good job in manufacturing there products too much issues or should I wait on the galaxy watch 5 pro or ultra I don't know 🤔
In case of sensor accuracy test which is better Galaxy watch 4 or Tic watch pro ultra?
Do not buy from Mobvoi they have no repair mechanism in place these are too expensive to be throw away products but if they can't fix it if there is an issue then it is disposable.
Only An Israelite Could Do An Awesome Review Like This
I don't get that "new 4100 processor"? Was the Pro 3 without a 4100 when the video was made? On Mobvoi's website, both Pro 3 GPS and Pro 3 Ultra GPS have identical processor set up with their own extra processor for the LCD?
I want this watch, but I already got a galaxy watch 4.
It still can't make calls I guess
It still can't make calls I guess
It still can't make calls I guess
Still not sure whether it can make calls ?
what is the name of that strap u got on it? I like it so much, want to get one for my self xd
The best review of the watch that's available. Thank you for covering all the topics. Still one question is left: I've read about an update that should bring a fall detection to the ticwatch. Do you know if it's available yet? There's no info about that on the official product page.
If there is an assistant , can it control smart home devices ?
Note : I found the answer , yes it can do it well .
Love these vids
One of the best ticwtach pro 3 ultra reviews out there, thumb up
How long does the battery last if I use the one of running, mountain climbing,…exercise (which use body sensors, GPS, …) continuously?
Great review, thanks
I ordered this over Samsung because of the longer battery life since I don't use the fitness features anyways and I just want to see my notification and take calls as well as change music without having to pull out my phone
Hihi, Thank you for your video. I always ride bicycle and I need the navigation feature. May I ask you a favour, to show how the navigation works on this watch please? Thank you again! 😊
Brother, can you check if it supports the Dutch language please. Thx and greetings from Belgium ✌🏽
After 1 day of moderate usage I've got 34% left. No 24 hrs monitoring, no sleep monitoring… I think those guys reviewing (not just this channel) are paid by Mobvoi to not saying the truth, or simply Chinese boys have send them with diff batt if they say up to 3 days.. it's my second Tic Watch 3 Ultra, as first one I had to change as from 87% plunged down to 5%… after just 36 hrs… so I know what I'm talking about… to bad, as watch alone is nice piece of 'equipemnt'. I'm returning it back to Amazon heading today Costco for $245 plus tax for Samsung 44mm… (currently on sale 279 down to to 249)… G. luck to all.
Can u recive text messages
btw… I like your shoes sir. 10/10
And Spectreman rulez! Dr. Gori and Karras ftw!
I've been debating the aesthetics of the watch itself but I gotta say it looks really really nice with that watch strap you have on there.
What band is that on the watch I need that. Oh nm just got the answer while watching
Does Google assistant let you send messages yet by voice? Or call? Everytime I do I get the "can't do that anymore" messages
My first time seeing q review by Tshaka, really enjoyed it! The detailed information, flow of narration, all well done! The pacing feels different from many YouTube reviewers and had me hooked. That flow of narration not really needing transitions made me notice transitions in other reviews much more, if that makes sense?
Your timeline seems to be a bit off? Your phrasing to me sounds like you're saying Ultraman was inspired by Inframan, but Ultraman premiered 9 years earlier. Inframan as far as I can tell is inspired by Kamen Rider and its theme's of a man turned into a cyborg hero (Inframan released just 4 years after the original Kamen Rider), as well as some elements from the Ultra series (Ultraman franchise)
All these properties are from the "tokusatsu" genre, the Superhero sub genre in particular, which is a super fun genre! I can't say I've seen Inframan myself but it looks like a good time so I'll add it to my list
you don't know how badly i want to get in your beard with a pair of scissors and cut out the grey hairs. it's all i could see while watching this video
better than galaxy watch because of the baterry life…
but come on guys… after weeks of intentional misinformation even Mobvoi has admitted that it packs the standard version of CQ 4100 and NOT the plus…
