TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra LTE from Mobvoi, analysis with price and features

Smart watches continue to have a significant gap in our analysis calendar and it could not be less with a brand as traditional and well-known as Movboi, especially with its latest and most aspirational launch, the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra, a watch full of features. and that looks face to face with all its rivals.

We analyze in depth the new Movboi TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra LTE, a watch with a multitude of sensors, a double screen and very few secrets. Stay with us and discover what are the main features and reasons why you could get one of these watches.

Design: With your hallmarks

The watch has a completely traditional design, it uses universal straps and the unit we tested had a leather strap on the outside and what looks like silicone on the inside. For its part, the watch has a fairly pronounced size dial, crowned by a metal bezel but in an eminently plastic chassis. All this with the evident intention of achieving its certifications in terms of resistance, and that is that This TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra LTE has military grade certification MIL-STD-810G at the same time as the more traditional IP68.

• Size: 47 x 48 x 12,3 mm
• Weight: 41 grams
• Makings: plastic and metal
• Certifications: IP68 and MIL-STD-810G

On the other hand, the back remains as always for the sensors and a charging port, far from being wireless in this TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra LTE we find the charging pins and a proprietary cable that will be placed in its exact location with extreme ease thanks to the magnets it has. The combination of materials is successful, especially if we take into account the excellent manufacturing quality that Mobvoi is supposed to have and that is met at least in terms of perceived quality.

Technical characteristics

How could it be otherwise, the clock bets on wear OS by Google, the dedicated operating system for wearables and smartwatches from the company behind Android, this means a very high degree of compatibility and customization. We count in the heart of this clock with the Snapdragon Wear 4100+ from Qualcomm, a well-known processor with a more than proven performance. In addition, we will have 1GB of RAM, technically enough for the performance and demands of a device with these characteristics, and yes, only 8GB of storage memory.

• Operating System: Google wear OS
• RAM: 1GB
• Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100+
• Storage: 8GB

It should be noted in the storage section that the memory will be reduced by the installation of the Operating System, this means that free to install applications or downloads around 4GB in total, which, however, is a more than enough theoretical capacity for a device. of these features. In performance we have not found any sensation that makes us presage the lack of more powerful hardware, so the choice of elements has seemed successful enough to ensure a performance at the height of the price of the product.

We have in this watch, in addition to a powerful speaker for what can be expected from its size, a microphone that will allow us to make calls with enough clarity to get out of trouble, and this is interesting if we take into account its characteristics at the level of connectivity , by that I mean that the analyzed version has 4G/LTE connectivity through Vodafone OneNumber and Orange eSIM, although new providers are yet to be confirmed, something that we have not been able to verify since a server does not have an eSIM from said company. Yes, we have verified the correct operation of your other wireless connectivity alternatives, that is, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, chip NFC that will serve us for configuration and of course for payments, as well as Bluetooth 5.0.

Autonomy and… Two screens?

This TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra LTE has a panel 1,4-inch AMOLED with resolution 454 × 454 pixels for 326 pixels per inch, and an overlapping FSTN Always One that shows us the information in black through a passive matrix LCD, like calculators or old clocks. When we activate the “essential mode” of the watch, this screen is activated, or automatically when there is 5% battery left.

• 577 mAh battery
• Magnetized pin charger (no power adapter included) via USB
• The Mobvoi App is compatible with Android and iOS, integrating with GoogleFit and Health.

What we have noticed is the fact that having two panels can significantly harm the viewing angles of both screens, however, we cannot make a single complaint about this very interesting option that it offers us Mobvoi with the latest generation TicWatch.

Sensors and functionalities

We do not lack absolutely anything at the level of sensors in this TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra LTE, and it becomes a perfect companion for monitoring our health, our day to day life and of course also our list of connected devices that we use. they make life easier.

This is the list of sensors that we have:

• PPG heart rate sensor
• SpO2 blood oxygen saturation sensor
• Gyroscope
• Barometer
• Compass
• GPS

Editor's opinion

A great option if we take into account the combination of add-ons such as SaludTic or Tic Health in addition to Google Fit with which it synchronizes perfectly. The conflict comes in the price, where we find this version with LTE for €365 (€299 for the version without LTE) that rivals directly in the economic catalog with the alternatives from Huawei, Samsung and even Apple. Although it offers greater resistance and versatility, it puts the user at a crossroads as it does not stand out notably in price.

However, the tranquility generated by the perseverance and good results that the firm has always obtained with the manufacture of this type of device makes us predict that it is a good option compared to many others, including “recognized” brands such as Samsung or Honor. It should be noted that we obviously have sleep monitoring, the route taken, an innumerable catalog of predetermined exercises and the rest of the functions at the level of notifications, interaction and information that can be expected from a smartwatch with these characteristics.
