Mobvoi TicWatch Pro review: Premium, stylish and packs the punch

TicWatch-Pro

The TicWatch Pro is testament to the fact that Mobvoi did right in expanding from artificial intelligence to voice technology into wearables. The TicWatch Pro is Mobvoi's the most premium of its lineup. With brilliant design and an innovative dual display, the Ticwatch Pro is one of the best smartwatches out here in the market.
Although the TicWatch Pro isn't the best when it comes to battery life, the 'essential' mode will deliver enough juice to last for weeks, totally outclassing competition. With a plethora of apps and watch faces to choose from, you are spoilt for choices. The TicWatch Pro runs Qualcomm's Snapdragon Wear 2100 CPU with 512MB RAM and 4GB storage. The display is the TicWatch's USP . It sports an LCD display mounted on it primary AMOLED screen. This dual display setup helps it give you varied battery life. The AMOLED display will last you about two days with Smart mode. The LCD display will last you a month on Essential mode and will give you all the basic features including fitness data.
As far as appearance goes, the TicWatch Pro looks premium and has a fairly large face. And looks a bit bulky although it doesn't weigh too much on your wrist. The watch nevertheless, gives you a solid and premium feel. It has an IP68 water and dust proofing, but is not something to take out when you go swimming. As far as fitness goes, it packs all the essentials –built-in GPS tracker, heart-rate monitor, steps counter, calorie counter, speed and cadence monitor to name a few. The TicWatch Pro also has an automatic sleep monitor, an addition it received very recently.
On the hardware side, the TicWatch Pro has two well-placed buttons on the right side. The top button  activates the Home button and can also be used to exit apps. The bottom one by default opens the TicWatch Fitness app, but can be customised. The touch screen is where you wil be spending most of your time on. The touch interface is quite smooth and easy to use. The UI is also not cumbersome even for the uninitiated user.
The TicWatch is definitely one of the finest smartwatches out there and will give the likes of Apple and Samsung a run for their money. Its aggressive pricing will compel a lot of users to side with it and the size of it comes down to personal preferences. It is exactly what Mobvoi intended –a stylish premium looking watch which packs all the essential gizmos but still doesn't burn a hole in your pocket.
