Mobvoi has announced its latest smartwatch, the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS, today. The new watch is an upgraded version of the TicWatch Pro 3 announced last year but even with the new features, refreshed design, and upgrades, it has the same launch price as the 2019 model.
The TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS has been redesigned. The tachymeter is different and the ring around it has markings similar to those on the buttons and on the strap.
Coming to its specs, the watch has a 1.4-inch 454 x 454 full-color AMOLED display and a second FSTN display on top. One new feature that has been added is the ability to change the color of the backlight of the FSTN display. Mobvoi has included a palette of 18 different colors that owners can choose from.
The display is protected by a sheet of Corning Gorilla Glass and has an anti-fingerprint coating. The watch case is also stronger as it is made from stainless steel and high-strength nylon with fiberglass. It also has a MIL Standard 810G certification. Attached to the watch is a 22mm interchangeable fluoro rubber strap which Mobvoi claims is not only soft but strong.
There is still a Snapdragon Wear 4100 and Mobvoi dual-processor under the hood along with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage. It also still runs the old Wear OS, but like its siblings, it will get upgraded.
The new features of the watch include support for more than 20 professional workout modes compared to the 10+ modes of the TicWatch Pro 3. Among the newly included sports modes are high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts, soccer, table tennis, lawn tennis, and basketball.
The TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS also has an upgraded heart rate monitor that can detect irregular heartbeat (IHB) and AFib. It will notify you when your heart is pumping too fast, too slow, or in an irregular pattern. It has also added fatigue assessment, energy level detection alongside blood oxygen level monitoring, 24-hour measurement, stress monitoring, and sleep tracking.
The new smartwatch now has a built-in compass in addition to having 5-satellite GNSS, barometer, accelerometer, gyro sensor, and low-latency off-body sensor. It also has an IP68 rating, a speaker, and a microphone. The battery capacity is unchanged at 577mAh and it will last 72 hours on a single charge in Smart Mode but go up to 45 days in Essential Mode.
The TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS is priced at $299.99 and is already available for purchase on the Mobvoi website. It can be purchased in Shadow Black.
