What owners say about the Mobvoi TicWatch Pro

Based on 178 owners sharing their experience in online comments

40%positive17%mixed43%negative

Owners praise the clever dual display and its battery savings, while short battery life, sluggish software, and failures frustrate many.

What owners dislike

  • Owners report anything from about 8 hours to two days of use, with the always-on display and background apps draining it faster.30
  • Owners report delayed taps, freezes and random restarts, with slowdowns worse after a few apps are installed on the 512 MB RAM version.26
  • Owners find the screen washes out or looks greenish outdoors, and it turns off after only a few seconds with no setting to extend it.13
  • Owners report notifications that sometimes never appear or arrive late, and incoming calls that show only after several rings or go to the phone.10
  • Voice commands often fail with 'cannot reach phone' errors when sending texts or opening things on the phone, and Assistant can stop working after an update.10
  • Owners report charging failures and watches dying within months, including a touchscreen that stopped responding and a charger that quit working.10
  • Owners say it drops its Bluetooth link to the phone, sometimes while the app still shows connected, and pairing can fail.9
  • Owners say updates stopped, the Wear OS version cannot be upgraded, the app store is thin, and tracking needs several separate apps.9
  • Owners report heart-rate readings that are far off or stuck at one value, sleep not being recorded, and heart-rate checks that are hard to switch off.9
  • Charging can stop altogether, and the pins need cleaning now and then. Some owners say a standard fast phone charger damaged the circuit.7

Verdict

The Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 5 is a flagship Wear OS smartwatch powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 platform, 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage. It features a unique 1.43-inch dual-layer display that stacks a vibrant AMOLED panel (466x466 resolution) under an ultra-low-power monochrome screen to significantly extend battery life. Key characteristics include a 628mAh battery providing up to 80 hours in Smart Mode, 5ATM water resistance, MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability, and a rotating crown for tactile navigation. Main pros are its industry-leading battery endurance for a Wear OS device, fast charging (0-65% in 30 minutes), and a comprehensive sensor suite including GPS, SpO2, and skin temperature monitoring. However, notable cons include the lack of Google Assistant support, incompatibility with iOS devices, and a bulky 50mm case design that may not suit smaller wrists.
