How come your watch is so fluid when everyone elses lags like crazy?

I only got 17 days out of my 3 week old Pro testing it out in essential mode.

Technically the Tic Pro want the first tic watch to use wear os. The Tic S uses Android wear. (Which I have along with the Tic 2 which doesn't use Android wear.) Actually excited to receive my Tic Pro tomorrow. After 18 months my Tic 2 stopped charging. Mobvoi wouldn't warranty it because I bought it from Amazon and they claim the seller wasn't authorized to sell tic watches. Surprisingly, Amazon stepped up and gave me full credit for my Tic 2 which I used toward the Tic Pro. Now Amazon uses their own in House warranty service for future situations like this.

This is one of the best reviews of this watch.

[@respond_code3]

On the top right your icon was for battery saving mode. All my icons are the same as what you're showing except the top right. It rings my phone in case it's lost. Is there a way to edit these to change that icon to battery saver?

[@soniagarcia6852]

How far can the phone be away from watch for it to still work? I work at a store and leave my phone in my locker i was wondering if the watch will still work if i dont have my phone in my pocket

[@kabish0603]

"water proof for swimming"... 2min in and already telling people bad information to destroy their watch. The manufacturer doesn't even recommend swimming in the watch, i mean i guess you could do a backstroke and keep your hand out of the water. "TicWatch Pro is waterproof, but it is still not advisable to submerge it underwater. The water resistance is not permanent and may weaken over time."

I noticed this too right away then I doubted therefore I read comments, thank you

[@jcddcjjcdnz]

[@jlwinters2010]

How does the Google fit app perform on the watch?

[@RalexNSW]

[@VincetDark]

[@grahamjohnson4702]

[@dr.pieraldi9810]

[@Vic-sz4wx]
