Back in January, Mobvoi announced the TicWatch GTH in China, a square-faced smartwatch whose USPs (unique selling points) include body temperature measurement. Today, the official Twitter account has posted a teaser that hints at a global release of the smartwatch.

The TicWatch GTH has a 1.55-inch 360 x 320 HD full-color display that is covered with a piece of 2.5D curved glass that is integrated into the metal frame. On the right of the frame is a circular button on the right. Mobvoi says the scratch-resistant glass has an anti-fingerprint coating and that the quick-release strap is skin-friendly. There are several watch faces available and users can also use their own photos as a watch face.
The smartwatch has four major health indicators that it monitors. They are body temperature, blood oxygen level, heart rate, and breathing rate. Mobvoi claims it monitors these vitals 24 hours a day.
The temperature sensor, which is a feature not commonly found in smartwatches, can detect changes as small as 0.1°C. It can also measure the body temperature in just 5 seconds and in a variety of weather conditions at 10-minute intervals. It will also warn you when your body temperature is “abnormal”. The PPG biological sensor handles the 24-hour blood oxygen level and heart rate continuous detection.
The TicWatch GTH has support for 14 sports modes including yoga, basketball, football, gymnastics, skipping, and rowing. It also supports automatic detection of three sports modes – walking, running, and cycling – thanks to TicMotion. The watch also has a sedentary reminder, sleep tracking, and a breathing coach.
There is a 260mAh battery inside the smartwatch and it will last up to 7 days in typical usage mode and up to 10 days in basic usage mode. Charging is via two pogo pins on the underside and it takes 2 hours to fully charge. The smartwatch is water-resistant up to 50 meters and it connects via Bluetooth 5.0.
The smartwatch is available in a single color variant – Knight Black. It launched for ¥299 (~$46) in China, so we expect it to have a price tag of under $60 when it launches globally next week.
