TicwatchPro 5 Android Smartwatch for Men Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 Wear OS Up to 80 Hrs Battery Life Health Fitness Tracking GPS 5ATM Water Resistance Compass NFC Not compatible with iPhone/iOS

I just got the new Ticwatch Pro 5 in Sandstone. I've had other smart watches and was never overly impressed however with the Ticwatch Pro 5, I have finally found a watch that suits my needs perfectly. I'll break down the review into sections to describe what I love about the watch:Style:Call me old fashioned but my biggest gripe about my other smart watches was that they didn't look like watches - they looked like a gadget strapped to my arm which was fine in the gym but looked out of place in other situations. The Ticwatch Pro 5, in Sandstone looks and feels like a watch. It's understated elegance and robust build looks good for all occasions, not just when training. This is by far the best looking smart watch on the market. I love the sandstone colour although there is also black for those who would prefer that. It's Sandstone all the way for me!!There is a huge choice of faces. My preference is more traditional looking watch faces however there are modern digital faces too. There is something for everyone. The analogue style faces really suit the look of the watch in my opinion.Apps/Funtionality:I generally just use the health apps however there is pretty much any app you would ever need available from google play. All the popular apps such as wallet, weather, maps, alarms etc are available. For me the health apps have everything I need to monitor my training, sleeping and relaxation time. The information is displayed in a logical, clear way. The watch is really easy to use and I figured everything without reading any of the instructions - it is very intuitive. Everything is logical and where you would expect it to be. The only small issue is that I have big hands therefore it is difficult to type using the watch screen although this is not really an issue as you always have the option to type on the phone. Using the phone functions like calls and messaging via the Ticwatch Pro 5 is simple, slick and exactly what you would expect from a premium smart watch.Build and Battery:This is where the Ticwatch Pro 5 really excels. My main sporting activities are boxing and snowboarding - one of the biggest problems I've had with smart watches was that they were not tough enough to cope with the rigours of such sports. I've been using the Ticwatch Pro 5 during boxing and it is the toughest smart watch I've had by a distance. The watch is tough enough to cope with 5 sessions in the boxing gym/ring each week during punching, blocking, pad work, bag work etc and remains secure on my wrist. A very simple but effective feature that keeps the watch secure is a small dimple on the coupling that secures it to the strap which prevents the strap from dislodging under the boxing gloves/wraps. This was a common issue with other smart watches and very annoying having to take the wraps and gloves off to refasten or adjust the strap. No such issues with the Ticwatch Pro 5 - the strap and watch stay exactly where they should be no matter how tough the training is. I've not used it when snowboarding yet but I had similar issues with previous smart watches to boxing whilst snowboarding i.e, strap/watch moving or un fastening. I would imagine that the Ticwatch Pro will perform as impressively with Snowboarding as it does when boxing.The battery life is phenomenal, you will get a minimum of 2-3 days battery life if you are using the watch to it's limits however you can easily get 6-7 days if you are a bit more frugal with it's use. The watch charges from 10% to 100% in around an hour which is impressively fast so even if you are using the watch to it's full capabilities, it charges very, vest fast. The battery life and charging time of the Ticwatch Pro 5 are considerably more impressive that my previous smart watches. I used to get very frustrated having to regularly charge my previous smart watches and it taking hours to charge them - I would often charge previous watched overnight which means you can't use them for sleep monitoring. With the Ticwatch Pro, you don't have to charge it regularly and when you do have to charge it, you are only without the watch for a maximum of an hour and you don't need to charge it overnight.Summary:This is the best smart watch on the market and is great value for money compared to apple watches and other brands. The watch is tough, practical and has all the functions that I need. I'm not a technical whizz kid by any stretch of the imagination but I have found the watch to be very easy to use. The watch looks amazing (especially in the sandstone colour) and suits all occasions whether you're at the gym or at a fancy restaurant in your trendy clothes. Battery life and charge time are phenomenal.I absolutely love this watch. After being underwhelmed by so many other smart watches, I was sceptical about buying another however I am over the moon that I've finally found the perfect smart watch for me in the Ticwatch Pro 5.There are no gimmicks about this watch, it's just a great all round watch that does everything that I want it to do and does it really, really well.The only thing I would suggest to Mobvoi is to make it compatible with iPhones as soon as possible - you would be amazed how many iPhone users like the iPhone but do not like the apple watch. Many of my friends who use iPhones have commented about how they'd love my Ticwatch Pro 5 but do not want to change their phones to android.

I alwyes liked ticwatch for android watches, full of options and good value for money.Comes in different colours and is user friendly.Isn't oversized nor small, just the right size for me.Lightweight and accurate. Battery life is just mind blowing with the second low power screen.Face options are unlimited however, the watch app could be funny sometimes.Pair it with a high quality strap and you will Ave such a beautiful smartwatch at good price.

I cannot stress enough how much of a waste of money this thing is!!I've had a few smart watches over the years. This one has a premium appearance to it, but unfortunately appearances can be deceiving. I was really attracted to the colour, but the rubber wristband is really getting on my nerves and tic-ing me off. I'm a guy that has a little hair on his wrist, and I've never known a watch strap to s-tic to me quite like this one does, it is very painful at times and when you try to adjust the strap it pulls like velcro. Then there's that stupid loop that the excess strap is supposed to go into, it keeps sliding away! I find myself placing the strap inside the loop countless times every single day. And then there's the app. This is a premium device, and the app absolutely stinks. It is useless, constantly falling over. It goes entire days sometimes, especially after a so-called update, whereby it connects to the watch but never retrieves any data from it, then suddenly it'll just start randomly working again. Just not good enough for a device in this price range, nowhere near. They need to take a long hard look at their competitors, a device like this (minus straps!) deserves an app that's better than the competition, not one that's on par with a £30 watch from a company no one's ever heard of!It's not all bad though. The battery is reasonable, although again I have had better. I have a physical sort of job, one where the watch itself can be knocked every now and again, despite this there's not a scratch on any part of it.It's so frustrating because this could have been the best smart watch I've ever owned, but it's let down by a rubbish app, and a nasty rubber wrist band. Big big shame. I'll keep it til it inevitably dies, but unfortunately it just doesn't tic all the boxes that it should for its money.All tic-based puns are intended, subject to status and availability.Update.I am so fed up of this waste of money watch!!! This watch goes from bad to worse to so below the gutter it's not even funny. Since the last update it isn't counting steps properly, my step count even seems to go down. It's pretty much counted 3000 less steps today than it should have done. Nothing works with this so-called smart watch, to the point that all it is good for is telling the time. I wish I had never bought this damned useless thing, makes a fitbit look functional!!!Update:Since last Wear Os update this piece of useless tat has become a glorified time keeper. No longer records steps, keeps reseting step count as soon as you stop walking. Have contacted Mobvoi and don't get a response, they literally have no customer service, they have your money for this con so job done. Furious with this trash, and will never be buying anything of theirs again, stay away if you know what's good for you, complete and utter waste of money! I'd give it minus 10 stars if there was the option to!!!Update: I find it very impressive how it is able to detect my heart rate without the green LED light flashing to illuminate my blood flow for the sensor, it's almost as if this piece of rubbish watch is not monitoring my actual heart rate, and just making it up as it goes along ... On second thoughts that is exactly what it appears to be doing!!! Still waiting on mobvoi to get back to me about the step count issues, so that's well over a month without a response. Great customer-focused company is Mobvoi ... Not!!!Update: I can't state it enough, I hate this useless piece of rubbish that is once again disappearing my step count, lost over 2,000 steps this morning just because I looked at it and the always on display doesn't reliably update the main display. Rubbish!!!!!!Update: Decides to just stop recording a run halfway through, so I'm running along for half a mile only to descover the watch has stopped recording. Other than tell the time, this so-called smart watch does absolutely nothing it's supposed to!!!
