So this is why I have been telling people to hold off on buying a new WearOS watch for the past month. What are your thoughts? Let's connect on Twitter/Instagram! @mikeobrienn (yes, with 2 n's at the end) twitter.com/mikeobrienn instagram.com/mikeobrienn
I like it. What killed samsung watches for me was when they stopped exporting health data outside their ecosystem making is have to use work arounds. Can't wait to try it out.
I was interested in this until I found out it's Chinese owned which makes it a no no for me in spite of Google backing. Since the Chinese virus I'm very particular when buying to know who owns & were it was made before spending my money.
@@czerwonadupa9547 that's ridiculous. That's like refusing to buy nabisco because you don't like something that GMC did. More power to you though. Good luck buying nothing via China.
Really an impressive watch for $299. USD . Thanks for the review. The audio both directions was very passible. Love the dual screen and long battery life. I'm still holding out for a for a Google Fitbit but this is high on my list.
Yeah, I have the 1st gen of this watch and have enjoyed it. The battery doesn't last a full day anymore (almost 2 years old...), so I'm in the market for a new one. Was really hoping for a good Fitbit WearOS option or a Pixel Watch 🙏, so not sure if I want to keep waiting or snag this gen 3 TicWatch... 🤔🤔
Don't get your hopes up, the Google Assistant does NOT detect "OK Google" you must press the buttons to call it. The Blood SpO2 most of the times cannot detect anything. Google maps doesn't properly work and is full of bugs. They released an update but still full of bugs and disappointment. Sorry Mobvoi I AM SENDING THIS BACK UNTIL YOU FIX.
@@hugh_general not my experience. It's been a fantastic watch! I've had it for over a month now. I haven't turned on the OK GOOGLE voice detection but used it on my previous TWP watch before. That feature is available. The blood O2 sensor works great for me. No problems there. Haven't used Google Maps on it yet, but I just used my phone for that... Loving the TWP 3!! Highly recommend!
Thanks for the review, could you please confirm if this works perfectly fine on black wrists...... it might weird to ask but I bought one of these smart watches that the heart rates wouldn’t workmen’s at all. I asked the questions and I was ask if I was black so then I said yes lol..... it turned out they’ve had lots of complains but the only thing I was told was they were fixing it in upcoming firmware updates which never happened so needless to say I don’t use the watch anymore. Subsequent emails to them were never responded to. Thanks if you can let me know as I’m really eyeing this one. Great review
Waiting on a new fossil but...this is high on my list. My Huawei watch 2 feels sluggish so been waiting on new hardware...and new software from Google....

Have had the TW Pro 3 now for about a week. Excellent piece of hardware but finding lots of issues with software. Would love to see a re-visit to this watch Mike with you touching on the reported issues from the Mobvoi forums and their slow or non-response to them.
How do you find the software now? Ive been holding off due to the reported inaccuracies with some of the fitness sensors etc. Have any if those things improved?
@@a.b1266 cool. Was the software bad? I haven't had a WearOS watch (or any smartwatch) since the Moto X 1st Gen, and frankly, it felt like I was spending hundreds to beta test for them. Battery life was terrible, it would lose Bluetooth sync, there were few apps, and it got an OS update that led to it being stuck in an eternal boot loop. I had hoped that this new Mobvoi watch might be a big improvement on the 1st Gen experience.
@@PaulLefebvre not bad really I guess. But yeah feeling like a beta tester about sums it up. I was trying to use the watch with a paired chest heart rate monitor and it took a bit of jerry-rigging to make it happen. ... got on my nerves. Otherwise it was ok.
I really appreciated your review here. I ordered myself the watch the other day and I'm awaiting delivery. My first smartwatch was the original Moto 360, complete with the flat tire and quite possibly the worst battery life every introduced on a wearable device to date. I've had several different watches since and while I love what Wear OS was initially designed to do, the actual implementation of it has always put me off. The stuttering. The glitches. The long pause before an app actually, finally opens. I have gotten rid of or sold each previous Wear OS watch simply because I pretty much demand my device to function properly more often than not. It's why I really like Samsung's Tizen software. The Ticwatch Pro 3 is finally a Wear OS watch that has made me want to give Google another try. I hope it wasn't a waste of $300.
Thank you for this video 👍. It seems the new Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS comes with a new magnetic charger with only 2 pins. It means TicWatch Pro 3 GPS charging cable does not support data transfer or in other words no data transmission between PC and this new watch. But I am wondering if it is possible to use or the charger cable from previous models like Ticwatch Pro, Ticwatch Pro 2020 or Ticwatch S&E are compatible with Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS.
Nice review. You missed talking about how "tough" the watch is (waterproofing, etc.) and also didn't touch on whether the Tic apps connect to Google Fit. Do the app connect to Google Fit?
I am pretty sure mine came with fit installed in addition to the tic suit and it seems to work just fine. Sadly only the Tic apps know to display information on the LCD screen, for google fit (and I assume other fitness apps) you'll have to turn the main screen on.
Really been thinking about this one. I loved the OG Moto 360, but jumped ship to Tizen/Samsung when WearOS stagnated. I found myself not liking Tizen. It's a fine watch OS, but it ties you into having to use Samsung's apps, which are lacking. Excited that the 4100 has finally came out.
hi thanks for the information, actually i just got this watch recently and its really good so far....but the battery wise, comparing to the apple watch i tried comparing the battery at 100% fully charge, the TicWatch lowers its level to 99% in 3-5 seconds seconds...apple watch it goes to 1% after 30 mins to 1 hour before it goes to 99% ..i hope they update the battery on the ticwatch 3 pro. Thanks
When speaking into the watch for the call, how far were you from the watch? In my opinion, its only missing what you said, Qi wireless charging and a crown of some sort. I'd also like to see a silver version. Interested to see how the 4100+ is going to perform if Mobvoi was able to eek out 4 days on the 4100 👀
I ordered yesterday to replace a 5 year old LG Watch Urbane. It should be like going from Hyundai Elantra to a Porsche GT 3 race ready sportscar. I can't wait to get mine.
Great first 4100 smartwatch. There are a few things that still people want but for the first iteration it's very good. Hope there comes one with 4100+, fast wireless charging, slim bezel, lighter, low profile, rotatable crown, ecg, maybe for the first time more than 1GB of RAM and more storage 😁
I have the Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle... And I'm about to get rid of it cause everytime I do a workout, I get accidental crown press when I do anything like a pushup. This unit looks like it would probably have the same problem. 😫
What would you recommend? Fitbit Sense or Tic Watch Pro 3 or...maybe Galaxy watch 3? for Every day use mostly with sport tracking capabilities and quite good precision?
Great review MIKE..i was planning to get 1 but ..well, have to check some reviews...before getting..i got an AMAZFIT T-REX but i returned it the next day since it doesn't work properly on an IPHONE...some functionality does not work, watching now your review, and great explanation and reviews...depth review on this TICWATCH PRO 3 GPS. Thanks for the review it helps us to see and getting what we really need for a smart watch use...specially for activities and waterproof as well. by the way does it work , like good on on IPHONES??? what are your thoughts about it....?? THANK YOU....
Thanks great review, for me it is still missing a compass and a rotating bezel, get those and you have an awesome smart watch, I'm sticking out for the next iteration!
Hello Mike. Back to the old classic denim I see, can't go wrong with a classic. My little magnetic charger fell to pieces, would have loved to have wireless charging but had to buy a new charging dock off eBay. Sigh! It was another Tickwatch but the chargers are all the same I think? Great review ol, bean. Many thanks. :-).
Great review! Thanks. I have recently bought this smart watch and am still deciding whether to keep it. Battery life isn’t quite as awesome as I was expecting. Essential Mode is a bit unreal as a smart watch feature and I very much doubt it would give me 45 days anyway. But purely as a smart watch it is fast and has many attractive features. It may not replace my Garmin V4 for fitness and sleep tracking.
Hi Mike, yet another well-presented, fair and well-filmed review video. You certainly seem to know your stuff. Ive been looking for a smartwatch and this video has convinced me to opt for the TICWATCH PRO3. It seems like it might be compatable with some upcoming upgrades too.? Keep up the good work. Im off to buy this watch in the morning.
If I have known that this model would be out now, that's the watch I'd be wearing right now!!! I'm currently using the Gen 5 from Fossil and I love it so far all except the battery. Anyway, awesome review, I'm really liking this watch from Ticwatch and only wish it came out sooner.
The thing that stands out for me is that the watch can't do simple arithmetic! The start and stop times of your sleep tracking don't match the sleep time calculated. 08:43pm to 11:50am is much more than 3:10hrs.
Had the previous Ticwatch and only disappointing feature is actually the magnetic snap on charger while convenient the gold connectors wear away against your skin after a while would prefer induction charging
I really want to go back to wear os for my pixel 4a, but the look and feel of the galaxy watch active 2 is so good. Just wish the apps were supported more.
Nice review and congratulations and getting the most view in on this subject. I like this watch, but my gut tells me to wait a little longer for something to be released closer to the holidays, if not early 2021. I would like something that is as responsive as this, but as sporty looking as, for example, the Samsung Galaxy watch (not the 3, but the stainless steel version before it). I ordered the Galaxy 3 and after looking at it for two days, sent it back. It was too small and too slow for me. Also, it seemed like it needed to be a little smarter to get my stamp of approval. I love the responsiveness of Google Assistant on this watch. That alone peaked my interest. I would like to see some better looking bands. Over all, very good. Thank you! C
Awesome review Mike, quick question how does the always on Android color watch faces look when the watch is not being used? Does it look similar to Galaxy watch 3?
My biggest problem since switching from Apple to Android is finding a fitness tracker that has comparable health and workout features to Apple watch. I loathe the galaxy active 2 that I just bought, as Samsung health doesn't focus enough on health and fitness features, and I feel that fitbit devices aren't really as premium feeling as my apple watch even though the app is excellent. Would you say that this watch and app are comparable to apple's in terms of the fitness features?
If anything wear os is, then this will be. Samsung used to allow it's health data to integrate into non samsung apps. Not any more. This should allow you to do a lot more.
@@robertmoreno1644 it will transfer to the Samsung health app only which I'm sure you can put on your non Samsung phone . But if you want to use a different app, like Google fit, it won't go there. I track my calories with an app called loseit and the Samsung data won't go into that I without having to use another intermediate app which doesn't always do the best in transferring the data.
@@Pincoat thank you very much for your reply. I appreciate it very much and I really enjoy your well made and detailed reviews. I will be subscribing now
Does it lack any features if it connects with an iphone? It would be nice if youtubers talked a little bit more about using wear os watches on iphones, and apple watches on android devices. I’m currently an iphone user but i don’t like the look of the apple watch, but also I don’t want to buy a watch and then lack any features. Could you make a video about that topic? Btw the review was great!
Can you use this watch as a stand-alone device? Like leave your phone in a locker and use the watch by itself connected to wifi to play music, use apps, etc.
looks good. but I am not a fan of the connectors on the charger. I had a first gen samsung watch with a similar setup. after about 6 months it was nothing but dramas everytime I tried to charge it. I'll never got anything with that style of charger again.
How big is the screen compared to the TicWatch Pro 2020? I have the 2020, and while I'm interested in the 3, I'm not liking the look of that dead ring around the screen...
Hi, Mike, thanks for the detailed briefing. Can you try it out for running if the GPS is stable enough? Ticwatch Pro Gen 1 has very poor GPS which always disconnected.
@@jmomo_ I moved from the Galaxy sport to the tick watch pro and the only thing I'm really missing is the speed and the rotating bezel. since I ordered the pro 3 I'm thinking the speed isn't going to be a worry anymore so I like the functionality of Wear OS better. It's easier to respond to text messages it's more integrated into almost everything you would integrated into rather than Samsung specific. So right I have not ordered the latest Galaxy watch but I did just order the pro 3 from Mobvoi. If it's still working use this to get the tick watch pro 3. COCLICKWISE20
I'm wary about going with WearOS again since my OG Huawei Watch, although a bit sluggish, was hit or miss when trying to use the assistant, or doing things like sending texts with voice. It would sometimes try for like 10 seconds and then fail saying it could not connect. That kind of thing needs near 100% success for me to use. I don't know if it's a problem because of a sluggish watch with old processor, or if it's just common with WearOS in general. Have you experienced failures using voice commands and voice texts with this watch?
At 8:45, 8:43PM to 11:50AM is not 3 hours right, is that a bug or am I missing something? The same for 10:10PM to 2:30PM. Maybe it bugs out for sleep times over 12 hours
Looks great. Seems very capable. I won't knock it for not having a rotating bezel but I will knock it for not have wireless charging. So I won't be buying it. Looks like I'll be paying the $400 for t-4 galaxy watch 3.
AH FUCK YEAH! BEEN LOOKING FOR A PROFESSIONAL WATCH! I love the O'brien bros, you and your bro recommend some good products and books, cheers. I am in desperate need for a good looking watch with physical rotating bezel and a 4 days + battery life. I hope they'll release a bit more premium design and with a rotating bezel.
Thx for the review! I wonder how much of a drawback it is to miss a rotating bezel or crown. I've never owned a smartwatch before, so dont know how important it is for ease to use
I had to return it. Just got it, but it would register 500 steps literally as I slept. I was home sick two days ago and didn't leave my apartment but it registered 3,000 steps.
Does this new ticwatch 3 pro have a black bezel all around the actual watchface or is it my imagination ? (does it have edge to edge screen like all the older ticwatch pros)
Nice review. Thank you. One question - how long does this watch go with gps on? I like to record my mountain bike rides and they usually take up to 8 hours. Will the watch handle it?
I was seriously considering this in lieu of a Galaxy Watch 3 until I heard it doesn't have wireless charging. That's a deal breaker :( I also have a Samsung phone (z flip 5G) so I wonder if the Galaxy watch would synergize better?
I dont know what to choose now :( I wanted to buy some cheaper and better option of apple airbuds pro and I think I will go with Huawei freebuds pro... but what watch to choose? I want to use mainly Alexa since I have some Alexa stuff at home already, I have a 6.7' (17cm) wrist so I think that 45mm watch is too big and uncomfortable. I like classic look of watches like galaxy watch 3 or this one in the video. I think galaxy is better but the 41mm with bezel seems really small with bad battery life and the video's one is 47mm which is huge for me... OMG WHAT DO I DO 😫
The main thing making me hold on to my wallet is no rotating crown, which you brought up. Probably cheaper, and faster not to develop a new watch with that feature, perhaps contributing to being first to market with the new chip. There's is a pent up demand among Wear OS users for better performance and battery life. It's almost all that matters. As for the speaker and microphone, it's hard to make a straight up comparison without having watches side by side, but judging from this review, my 5 year old Huawei watch has a better speaker. No sapphire glass (which would add a dreadful couple of dollars to the BOM...), while not expected, would be nice. How long did it take to charge?
I'm in the market, but only need basic fitness. I'm more into the toy / tech aspect of it. I think I've narrowed down to Samsung SmartWatch3, this or the Fossil Gen 5. Do your recommend this over the Gen5?

If anything wear os is, then this will be. Samsung used to allow it's health data to integrate into non samsung apps. Not any more. This should allow you to do a lot more.
@@Pincoat so that means the data from a galaxy watch 3 won't transfer over to my non samsung phone?
@@robertmoreno1644 it will transfer to the Samsung health app only which I'm sure you can put on your non Samsung phone . But if you want to use a different app, like Google fit, it won't go there. I track my calories with an app called loseit and the Samsung data won't go into that I
without having to use another intermediate app which doesn't always do the best in transferring the data.
@@Pincoat thank you very much for your reply. I appreciate it very much and I really enjoy your well made and detailed reviews. I will be subscribing now
Would you recommend this over the Fitbit Sense?
Does it lack any features if it connects with an iphone? It would be nice if youtubers talked a little bit more about using wear os watches on iphones, and apple watches on android devices. I’m currently an iphone user but i don’t like the look of the apple watch, but also I don’t want to buy a watch and then lack any features. Could you make a video about that topic? Btw the review was great!
You did not show off the backlight which is the biggest improvement over the previous Tiicwatch Pro.
Hi, thanks for your Video. How long does the watch run on google maps?
cheers, jay
I really really like your videos. Keep up the good work!
Can you use this watch as a stand-alone device? Like leave your phone in a locker and use the watch by itself connected to wifi to play music, use apps, etc.
Is the LCD display also *highly visible* in bright sunlight (exactly the opposite of the normal screens these days)?
so could you answer calls on the watch whilst using iPhone? plus can u still use gpay on the watch with iPhone?
Finally great WearOS watch right there. Gonna buy this one instead of Oppo. Top review as always Mike
Regards from Poland
I was just about to buy Oppo when someone told me this was coming out. I would have been so disappointed! Going to get this one for sure
@@lachlanwhittle Same thing mate. Hope u won't be disappointed same as me after buying this watch!
i returned oppo for this
looks good. but I am not a fan of the connectors on the charger. I had a first gen samsung watch with a similar setup. after about 6 months it was nothing but dramas everytime I tried to charge it. I'll never got anything with that style of charger again.
I really enjoy your reviews. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
How big is the screen compared to the TicWatch Pro 2020? I have the 2020, and while I'm interested in the 3, I'm not liking the look of that dead ring around the screen...
Hi, Mike, thanks for the detailed briefing.
Can you try it out for running if the GPS is stable enough? Ticwatch Pro Gen 1 has very poor GPS which always disconnected.
almost thought it's a watch 3
Right?! But $100 cheaper, longer battery life, and a second screen
finally i got my next watch.
Just bought on, good review
What do you think about haptic engine? Is good at Apple Watch?
thanks
qi pad charging is really missing ,but its a very good watch to have all day
I have PoTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) and need a constant heart rate on the main screen. Is this doable with this watch?
Thanks KAT
Is there a reason you never cover Huawei watches? Stuck choosing between the GT2 pro and the TicWatch pro 3 at the moment.
Is it only available on Amazon?
Great review Mike, did i miss the screen size on this...say in comparison to the GW3
1.39
Should I buy this or the galaxy watch active 2?
I ordered this. With the better battery life this should be a game changer for ear wear os.
@@Pincoat What will you choose if the battery is not an issue for you?
@@jmomo_ I moved from the Galaxy sport to the tick watch pro and the only thing I'm really missing is the speed and the rotating bezel. since I ordered the pro 3 I'm thinking the speed isn't going to be a worry anymore so I like the functionality of Wear OS better. It's easier to respond to text messages it's more integrated into almost everything you would integrated into
rather than Samsung specific. So right I have not ordered the latest Galaxy watch but I did just order the pro 3 from Mobvoi. If it's still working use this to get the tick watch pro 3. COCLICKWISE20
@@Pincoat I'll certainly try the coupon code, thanks for the explanation!
Talk much about Battery life in the beginning! But, not mentioned Huawei GT2 pro..bcz, that beats 🤣
I'm wary about going with WearOS again since my OG Huawei Watch, although a bit sluggish, was hit or miss when trying to use the assistant, or doing things like sending texts with voice. It would sometimes try for like 10 seconds and then fail saying it could not connect. That kind of thing needs near 100% success for me to use. I don't know if it's a problem because of a sluggish watch with old processor, or if it's just common with WearOS in general. Have you experienced failures using voice commands and voice texts with this watch?
Can you make and receive Bluetooth phone calls without LTE? How is it for using the NFC payment with Google pay?
Another one in my list...thanks mike
How is the battery when you workout with GPS, especially cycling. On my GWA2 I got 8% per hour with MapMyRun app. Thanks Mike!
Great video! Still waiting for the Pixel Watch.
We can only dream
At 8:45, 8:43PM to 11:50AM is not 3 hours right, is that a bug or am I missing something?
The same for 10:10PM to 2:30PM.
Maybe it bugs out for sleep times over 12 hours
Looks great. Seems very capable. I won't knock it for not having a rotating bezel but I will knock it for not have wireless charging. So I won't be buying it. Looks like I'll be paying the $400 for t-4 galaxy watch 3.
good battery life + google assistant , make me happy
Well done keep it up
I also don't know how to feel about the watch band. I've been browsing options on Amazon since ordering mine.
The menu seems to have different scrolling now. What version of WearOS is it?
AH FUCK YEAH! BEEN LOOKING FOR A PROFESSIONAL WATCH!
I love the O'brien bros, you and your bro recommend some good products and books, cheers.
I am in desperate need for a good looking watch with physical rotating bezel and a 4 days + battery life.
I hope they'll release a bit more premium design and with a rotating bezel.
Thx for the review! I wonder how much of a drawback it is to miss a rotating bezel or crown. I've never owned a smartwatch before, so dont know how important it is for ease to use
Id imagine a huge one. Without it. Why not just pull out your phone? All that swiping and dragging is just as slow as it is on a phone.
I had to return it. Just got it, but it would register 500 steps literally as I slept. I was home sick two days ago and didn't leave my apartment but it registered 3,000 steps.
Does this new ticwatch 3 pro have a black bezel all around the actual watchface or is it my imagination ? (does it have edge to edge screen like all the older ticwatch pros)
Nice review. Thank you. One question - how long does this watch go with gps on? I like to record my mountain bike rides and they usually take up to 8 hours. Will the watch handle it?
I'd say it will
I was seriously considering this in lieu of a Galaxy Watch 3 until I heard it doesn't have wireless charging. That's a deal breaker :( I also have a Samsung phone (z flip 5G) so I wonder if the Galaxy watch would synergize better?
This a great video! very well said!
Nice sharing... Is it come with firstbeat calculation for workout like Vo2max and recovery for each workout?
I dont know what to choose now :( I wanted to buy some cheaper and better option of apple airbuds pro and I think I will go with Huawei freebuds pro... but what watch to choose? I want to use mainly Alexa since I have some Alexa stuff at home already, I have a 6.7' (17cm) wrist so I think that 45mm watch is too big and uncomfortable. I like classic look of watches like galaxy watch 3 or this one in the video. I think galaxy is better but the 41mm with bezel seems really small with bad battery life and the video's one is 47mm which is huge for me... OMG WHAT DO I DO 😫
i really like this watch and am seriously thinking about getting it
The main thing making me hold on to my wallet is no rotating crown, which you brought up. Probably cheaper, and faster not to develop a new watch with that feature, perhaps contributing to being first to market with the new chip. There's is a pent up demand among Wear OS users for better performance and battery life. It's almost all that matters. As for the speaker and microphone, it's hard to make a straight up comparison without having watches side by side, but judging from this review, my 5 year old Huawei watch has a better speaker. No sapphire glass (which would add a dreadful couple of dollars to the BOM...), while not expected, would be nice. How long did it take to charge?
Would you recommend it with an IPhone?
I'm in the market, but only need basic fitness. I'm more into the toy / tech aspect of it. I think I've narrowed down to Samsung SmartWatch3, this or the Fossil Gen 5. Do your recommend this over the Gen5?
I was almost going to buy fossil gen 5 , I was thinking bcoz there were some serious complains on Amazon , but now I’m fixed on this
Still have a Samsung gear s3. May wait to see if this goes on a black Friday deal
You should do a must have android smart watch apps video
Great watch, I just wish there was a LTE version in the US
