The Best Wear OS Smartwatch Got Better | Ticwatch Pro 5 Enduro Review

Reviewing Mobvoi's Ticwatch Pro 5 Enduro, an updated version of one of my favourite Wear OS smartwatches for 2024. Vs the Galaxy Watch 6, Pixel Watch 2 etc, the Ticwatch Pro 5 Enduro boasts the best battery life - while the £329 UK asking price means great value.
I've been testing this wearable for over a week now, checking out the fitness tracking and other features. So here's my final review of the Ticwatch Pro 5 Enduro and check back soon for my best smartwatches of 2024 round-up!
While this wearable's greatest feature is that stunning battery life, thanks to the dual display tech, it's not a one trick watch. You've got the usual bundle of great Google tools including Maps, Wallet etc. Everything apart from the Assistant. Meanwhile the Mobvoi Ticwatch Pro 5 Enduro boasts upgraded sapphire glass and a couple of other upgrades. It's pleasingly rugged for outdoor use, swimming etc.
This smartwatch also serves up the full fitness features, including ample exercise tracking. Wear OS is fully customisable as always. And the Ticwatch Pro 5 Enduro can also download fresh apps from the Play Store.

Thank you very much for showing this watch ⌚. Love your videos. I always look forward to them

[@TechSpurt]

Thanks! And I too love coffee

[@richardnoble3989]

So exactly the same except for sapphire glass and a new strap??! 🤔

[@Jedbullet29]

Well maybe a lot operating system software tweaks that you can't see?

[@TechSpurt]

A few other little tweaks here and there, including the third party support for the low-power screen, but yep, it's otherwise the same Ticwatch

[@BigD50070]

Yup classic mobvoi why would they do a software update for their previous watch when they can package that update in a new watch! Before I get hate I had the ticwatch pro e... They trumped that with the pointless ultra, and then languished on any updates for the pro 3. I now have the pro 5, which still doesn't have Google now and probably never will lol

[@nadirh902]

​@@TechSpurt will the original ticwatch pro 5 get the third party support?

[@villacurtricias]

Can you connect a HR chest strap to this watch?

[@The_Arby]

Nice one Chris...You getting the New Huawei Watches in for review mate ??

[@itsalex1364]

I love ur thumbnails

[@TechSpurt]

Ta!

[@pp3k3jamail]

💥💥I'm getting the tickwatch pro 5 easy the best android smart watch even the tickwatch pro 3 is still great.

[@megasp]

is there a stopwatch and timer on the low-power display?

[@federers6711]

Which Garmin would you get with music for under 300? Thanks

[@Ritchie_Rowland]

Fair price for the design

[@chrishansen5790]

Were you by any chance the number taker from numberjacks?

[@GregoryTKint]

Would love to see a review of the Xiaomi Watch 2 as another Wear OS alternative...

[@Paulie8K]

Nice watch. I have been rocking the OnePlus Watch 2 for a month and love it. First WearOS watch. My trusty old Garmin Fenix 5X Sapphire died on me after 4 years and didn't have the budget for a newer Fenix 7, so I took a chance and it's been great. It's nice to see WearOS improve.

[@vakama94]

No problems with it? I've been seeing a lot of issues pop up in the reviews of OHealth and that makes me weary of buying it

[@ThorSpaceViking]

Love you too Uncle Spurt

[@slightlyusedpsx]

I got my Ticwatch Pro 5 color to turn purple during one workout, it went past red!

[@Bread_n_Butter.]

Is google assistant available on this one?

[@waynesarahburns3871]

Given up on ticwatch, they seem to get worse as the new model comes out in terms of software

[@jcx-ig5xs]

This guy is real life Victor pubg 😁 ❤

[@_DMD_]

i'm within return period of my ticwatch pro 5. should i bother with returning it and paying an extra $75 to get the enduro?

[@beckinbinderin]

Yes. You might actually get an update to Wear OS 4. The Tic 5, probably not.

[@afbsnasbm]

can i pair it with my iphone?

[@marlons1]

Man i just got a Fossile Gen 6. For $50 I like the OS and really like offline Spotify but the battery lasts 12 hours max. Used to have an Amazfit T Rex which i loved but lost. Now i cant decide between this and the t rex 2. T Rex 2 is great but the OS is not close to this. But the damn thing will last a month. At least my T Rex did. Decisions decisions.

[@Pazuno]

Oh if they did this in that sandstorm colour on the regular tp5 I'd jump on it straight away

[@jsk7591]

No Google assistant for that much money - no thanks! I was intrigued until then. Thanks for covering the details. It would be good to know if installing it from the APK would give you hands-free access to the assistant.

[@Ev-mo]

Who cares I never use Google assistant on my phone people just over think it

[@darren6531]

But will this get software updates?

[@buddywilliamson3098]

Beta of wear os 4 is running now.... started in April so yeah....

[@vakama94]

​@@buddywilliamson3098for the Ticwatch Pro 5? I wasn't aware, hope it releases soon

[@davidmccarthy6061]

Would love the watch but won't buy one until there is some solid signs of their customer service improving.

[@Peterstarzynskitech]

I didn't know TicWatch was still making smartwatches.

[@danieltecher]

incredible, it's exactly the same as the 5 pro, the same features 😂 and still no update available... 🙄 they got me once they won't get me twice lol

[@chimdiumezurike5207]

Please review the CDS9 4G plsssss🙏

[@azkikrx1]

So other than the sapphire glass, nothing actually new then ?

[@Ev-mo]

And most accurate and better then most watches so not sure what you talking about

[@azkikrx1]

@@Ev-mo I am a TicWatch owner so what I'm on about is that they are over-hyping the minimal changes. I'm still a fan of the brand, but they could have saved this to add to the next gen upgrade that would be more meaningful.

[@saturnblue]

Uncle Spurt is still stalling me to know exactly what I want to buy next.

[@beckinbinderin]

This release is quite odd. The oneplus Watch 2 arrived with OS Wear 4. This new Ticwatch STILL has Wear 3.5. Ticwatch never updated the earlier Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra, like they promised so, in my mind, I wouldn't touch it as they'll probably NEVER provide major os updates. that's why I sold the standard 5 and jumped to the OnePlus watch 2. It also works with lift to wake (the pro 5 didn't seem to do so well).

[@vakama94]

How is OHealth doing for you? I want to buy the watch but I'm seeing a lot of reviews from people saying the watch disconnects and a bunch of other issues

[@beckinbinderin]

@@vakama94 I mainly use it on holiday, for navigating from point to point. Steps, etc. I sync and then go about my day. It does seem to stay connected to G Maps, but there's always those moments when you have to restart one, or the other. That's been the same with the Ticwatch 3 Ultra and Ticwatch 5. That could just be Google being google. All watches often looked like I was walking up a street sideways, or the map doesn't rotate properly. Move wrist, move it back. Little things. Not deal breakers. A deal breaker is Ticwatch not updating their phones. For me, being on Wear OS 4 is MUCH better than buying a new watch that might be stuck on OS Wear 3.5 forever.

[@iainmann]

Not all pensioners' wrists are thin and frail and weedy like yours. Mine are quite sturdy! Damnyou.

[@ivanpetkov9101]

I had ticwatch 3 ultra and im disappointed, never again ticwatch, for more than year no even one update, and after year break down, the one of the side buttons stop working

[@samsonchan7496]

Did you say 44 grams? That sounds too light to be accurate

[@wilbertandrews]

good watch but unfortunately the accuracy of the sensors is poor...😒

[@Fonsohtc]

No point upgrading if having the TicWatch 5 Pro already. Will wait for the 6. Sounds a bit pointless to launch such a similar product.

[@joaocalhandro]

USB-A still? Dang...

[@CatalinTomescu]

Not much over previous model, right? Previous model has PLENTY of faults and issues!! This is an expensive model, again, given such small improvements and looking back at previous models experience with quality and customer service. IMO it's NOT worth it, to be honest! I'll wait for the Pixel Watch next gen to compare and see if it's worth going with Mobvoi.

[@akorejepade1261]

That watch looks so HUGE on your wrist! I am surprised your hand doesn't snap off your wrist with that gigantic thing on you! 🤣🤪

[@colinnicoll9169]

Seems a bit expensive to me. I'll stick with my Huawei GT2 which I've found excellent

[@BenPotato]

Yeah, for casual use that would be enough. This is more for either power users or active people for biking and other active sports.

[@neoniccortessjrsmith9223]

Damn watch has so much stuff

[@imwatchingyou6113]

£329..for a watch ...you keep it 😂

[@f1_speed_Champion24]

2nd

[@TheGeordieTiger]

After the sh*tshow and lack of updates and support from opening the box on my Pro 2020 at launch, topped with appalling customer service, I will NEVER buy another Ticwatch ever again. Utter dog's eggs. Avoid.

[@f1_speed_Champion24]

[@satishvijayakumar-ze3sy]

Shenanigans 😂

[@helterskelzer3883]

Baffles me how they can charge £329 but the app looks so cheap and bad

The point of a smart watch is to use your actual phone as little as possible
