Mobvoi Ticwatch SmartWatch- Black

Available at a price of Rs 11000, the Mobvoi Ticwatch SmartWatch- Black certainly cannot be a spontaneous buy and thus one needs to be well versed with the specifications of the watch. But given the stature of the project, the price is quite expected and has flirted with the boundaries of what wear OS can achieve in a multifaceted way. First, it has packed the most pristine of technologies available in the market into the Wear OS device. One big x-factor for the TicWatch is that it is the only watch using Qualcomm’s latest smartwatch processor, the Snapdragon 4100.

The display has seen a major upgrade in the Mobvoi Ticwatch SmartWatch- BlackGPS with an amazing 1.77-inch AMOLED display which comes with a ‎4.5 x 4.5 x 1.27 cm resolution. The display is sharp, offers vivid colours and was visible in all light conditions.

As far as the fitness attributes are concerned which let’s be honest happen to be one of the chief reasons for purchasing a smartwatch, Tic Exercise comes with a whopping 13 exercise modes like the Outdoor Run, Outdoor Walk, Outdoor Cycling, Pool Swimming, Rowing, Elliptical, Mountain Climbing, Body Mechanics etc. It also has the IP68 rating which is expected from a fitness-oriented watch like this. The step count and other measurements were dead accurate on the watch whether I went for a walk outside or walked up and down the stairs.

The user interface has seen a major upgrade. Courtesy of the all-new Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100 chip along with a 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM it is as efficient as one could expect and it never lags.
