When I reviewed the TicWatch Pro Ultra 3, I found that it truly does it all. With a generous number of features, unbelievable battery life, and tons of fitness tracking perks, it's one of the best Android smartwatches going — and why it's still a daily watch for me. 

What you'll probably notice first, though, is the uniquely brilliant display. The TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra uses layered display technology, which helps extend the battery life even further. For example, Daily Mode allows you to use all of your watch's features, but you'll need to charge it every night. There's also Extended Mode, which allows you to use essential features and will only require a charge every couple of days or so.

When it comes to features and tracking, there's a lot to unpack. For starters, you'll love having voice-activated Google Assistant, mobile payments with Google Pay, built-in GPS, heart-rate monitoring, activity/sleep tracking, smartphone notifications, and more. While the design is slimmer and more lightweight than previous Pro models, it still comes in a 47mm case. This might be a bit too large for some wrists, so that's something to think about. The price tag isn't in the value category, but if you can swing it, this is one of the best TicWatch smartwatches out there.

Best value

Reasons to buy

+
Lightweight design
+
Snapdragon Wear 4100
+
Solid fitness tracking
+
Blood oxygen monitoring

Reasons to avoid

-
Bezel is a bit bulky
-
Mediocre battery life

Based on the price, I was hesitant about how much the Ticwatch E3 could offer. However, once I reviewed the watch, I quickly realized that it was a fantastic wearable. This is especially true if you're a budget shopper who doesn't want to spend a fortune on a smartwatch. 

You get the new Snapdragon Wear 4100 chipset for amazing performance, for starters. The lightweight design will look familiar as it loosely follows what we've seen in previous TicWatch E models. You get a 1.3-inch HD display with a large bezel around the watch face. This model is compatible with 20mm interchangeable bands, and comes with IP68 water resistance that's suitable for pool swimming.

There's also a great selection of health/fitness features on the TicWatch E3. You'll have built-in GPS, activity/sleep tracking, heart-rate monitoring, blood oxygen tracking, and more. There's also a built-in mic and speaker for Google Assistant and NFC for Google Pay. You'll also have to accept the mediocre battery life, other than the love-it-or-hate-it bulky bezel. It'll typically last for two days on a single charge, but you can opt for Essential Mode. This will limit certain features to help extend battery life when necessary.

You won't find a better smartwatch for your outdoor lifestyle than the TicWatch Pro 3. Wherever you go, the Pro 3 can go too. During my review of the watch, I took it on camping trips, cutting down trees on my property, and through various workouts, and it kept going. When you combine this level of durability with unlimited tracking abilities, including proactive sport modes, swim monitoring and swim style detection, a built-in GPS, heart rate sensor, and sleep tracking, there's not a whole lot that the Pro 3 can't do.

The proactive sport modes allow you to keep going at your own pace without slowing down to mess with your watch. It's powered by TicMotion, which is Mobvoi's suite of proprietary AI algorithms. It proactively detects your motion, tracks your swim activities, and provides your fitness records without you having to press or do a thing. The dual-layer display will ensure you always have the important information visible and stretches the battery to up to 30 days in essential mode. Simply get going, and it will follow suit.

Best for fashion

Reasons to buy

+
Stylish design
+
Slim, lightweight profile
+
Increased RAM, better performance

Reasons to avoid

-
Battery life isn't great
-
More expensive than predecessor

Everything you loved about the original TicWatch C2 is available on the new TicWatch C2+. The design may not have changed much, which I was happy about when I reviewed the watch because I loved the style of the original. In fact, you'll hardly be able to tell the difference when looking at the two in a side-by-side comparison. But what the upgrade brings in the new model is performance. You get twice the RAM at 1 GB, which makes a remarkable difference in the overall performance.

It probably goes without saying that the TicWatch C2+ and its predecessor are the two most stylish options from Mobvoi. If you want to make a fashion statement with your smartwatch, you should consider these two watches. Those who also want the best possible performance should upgrade to the TicWatch C2+. You'll also enjoy plenty of other perks such as built-in GPS, heart-rate monitoring, activity tracking, mobile payments, and more.

Old processor

As time goes on and smartwatch technology becomes more advanced, we see more and more wearables offer LTE connectivity. Mobvoi's first (and so far only) attempt is the TicWatch Pro 4G/LTE, and was quite impressive in our review. It's not the newest or most updated smartwatch, but it's the only one that offers LTE connectivity. This allows you to stay connected at all times without having to carry your phone around. As you can imagine, this is a huge perk for those who spend a lot of time outdoors or working out in the gym, and I loved using it when going for road runs.

The TicWatch Pro 4G/LTE is suitable for a lot more than keeping you connected. Mobvoi didn't cut any corners when it came to features. This model has all of the essentials, including a PPG heart rate sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope, e-compass, ambient light sensor, and low latency off-body sensor. You also have a microphone and speaker built into the watch, making it easy to take calls and use Google Assistant. Keep in mind that at 45mm, this is still a pretty chunky watch. If you think the price tag is worth the added connectivity, this might be the best option for you.
