Back in September 2020, Googe announced the Wear OS H-MR2 update. The new version of the company’s wearable operating system brings performance and battery life improvements. Ever since the search giant unveiled this update, OEMs have been pushing it via OTA to their devices. The latest smartwatch to get this update is none other than the popular Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3.

The TicWatch Pro 3 by Mobvoi is arguably the best Wear OS smartwatch available in the market. The wearable was unveiled just a few days after the Wear OS H-MR2 update was announced. However, this wearable is one of the last to get the update.

According to the official announcement post, the TicWatch Pro 3 Wear OS H-MR2 is currently only available for the GPS variant with firmware version PMRB.210407.001. The update is available for 30% of users as of writing this story. It should be rolled out to 50% and 100% of users by April 23 and April 24 respectively.
