Can you ask about what they are doing with ticwatch 3 pro devices.... As you are getting paid to promote via the referral link

Great video with many details

[@PeterHerget]

Glad it was helpful and yep, a plethora of details about the TicWatch Pro 5 from Asia.

[@dadandvideogames]

Got one of these on the way. I always appreciate your in-depth videos!

[@PeterHerget]

Hooray and glad to have helped at least one person. I hope you like your TicWatch.

The Passion of the watch!

[@PeterHerget]

In deed... perhaps, I have little too much passion for wearables, eh?

[@paramountkid413]

Great video with a great amount of watch details.

[@PeterHerget]

Glad you enjoyed it that video was a ton of work, research, editing, and yes, I wore the TicWatch daily for four weeks straight 😀

[@donwk1892]

Does it have gestures like the ticwatch pro 3..were you can flick through your notifications by flicking your wrist up and down?

[@PeterHerget]

Yes, there were gestures, but I did not use them. I have heard they function pretty nicely.

[@b.rocket]

A kitchen blender wow 😂. No way could I fall asleep to that 😂.

[@PeterHerget]

I know, right? I have heard of strange sleep sounds, but never heard of anyone asking me, “Hey, Peter, I can’t sleep, would you please smoothies for 40 minutes in the kitchen to help me sleep?”

Hi, is it possible to turn off the Sound at the Timer. So that you just have a Vibration? Thank you 🙂

[@PeterHerget]

Sorry, I don't know. I decided not to keep the TicWatch Pro 5.0 for a long term review.

Im not happy with my new tikwatch, Im unable to get play store working nor can I get any sounds to work even after a reset. With the one tap health mine only shows 4 results.Heart, blood, resp and stress.

[@PeterHerget]

Bummer news for me to read your comment. I hope you are able to return yours for a full refund 🤞 The TicWatch has much potential and needs more testing and better hardware...

[@phehibs]

Out of all the watches you have ever worn... if they removed everyone from you and could only pick one to use for next 12 months, which would you have on your wrist?

[@PeterHerget]

On my left would be... 1. An Apple Watch Ultra 3.0 with five days of battery life, and a nano SIM card to connect to the World Wide Web 2. On my right wrist would be the COROS Apex 2 Pro

[@phehibs]

@@PeterHerget suprised Garmin didn't make the cut!

[@PeterHerget]

Yeah, it is a tough decision among the Garmin fēnix 7X Pro, Instinct 2X Solar, COROS Pace 3, and the COROS Apex 2 Pro. I've been really thinking about the "comfort factor" lately and I just enjoy the COROS timepieces. I am still hoping for COROS to get into the solar charging watches, if possible, next year in 2024.

If you can snooze for 9 hours you've certainly missed your work day 😅 so kind of pointless yes - interesting find 👍🏻

[@PeterHerget]

Tell me about it, it was a funny test, but interesting to know that snooze had no limits.

[@PeterHerget]

Creative testing is never pointless, but always fun. An edge case bug is still a bug...

[@gantswood]

Can you change the LCD battery saving screen for another LCD battery saving screen? Thanks.

[@PeterHerget]

I think so, but I am not quite sure. Sorry, I no longer have the TicWatch Pro 5 to verify.

[@rareschoprea8798]

The numbers, Peter. What do they mean? It's so strange that you put a random number, divided by 6, and got an integer 🤣 or was it done willingly?

[@PeterHerget]

I used a random number? Sorry, this video was made several weeks ago and since then I've traveled over 6,000 miles, gone to work, went on a mini-vacation, and slept over 88 hours. I barely recall making this video. Would you please refresh my memory a little more?

[@rareschoprea8798]

@@PeterHerget at 27:30 minutes you use the calculator. And you introduced 6522 divided by 6, which made a nice integer: 1087. For 2 random numbers to be divided and get an integer, is so rare 😅 that's why I was asking if you put the numbers willingly, or they were really random?

[@rareschoprea8798]

Also, the first part was a reference to the original CoD Black Ops game, where the player's main character is asked: "the numbers Mason, what do they mean?"

[@PeterHerget]

Thank you for the explanation, and nope, the numbers were not made up and were not random. I appreciated the pithy comments :)

[@randreas69]

On the Pro 3 there's a setting to let you double tap the screen to count your laps. Have had the Pro 5 for about a week and would investigate the settings here.

[@PeterHerget]

Bummer! I did not know about that feature. I plan to test the 2024 TicWatch model and I wrote down a note to use that double-tap feature, thank you for clicking on by with some much needed wisdom...

[@randreas69]

@@PeterHerget The quick settings sleep mode button would also "kill" the tilt to light, the cinema mode also does that but I'll find out why the two buttons are separate.

[@PeterHerget]

Thank you for the updates and for checking.

[@AndreyGui1]

Thank you so much for this so in-depth analisys! The devil is in the details, and the details makes the difference for me. Not having a lap button got me. Thank you for pointing it out!

[@PeterHerget]

Glad it was helpful! And really, not included a "lap button" for a $300.00 smartwatch is... NOT helped when TicWatch is selling such a great smart sports watch. The inconsistencies of the both the hardware, and software, drove me to the near brink of insanity. Even worse, the Mobvoi Home Incline Treadmill nearly caught on fire the other day and I was only walking 4.5 miles per hour. And yeah, I did add the included silicone liquid Mobvoi includes. It is a shame the quality inspections are so low over in the Mobvoi Home Department. There is a great need for walking/jogging treadmills under $500.00 USD. Happy Holidays, Andrey, and thank you for clicking on by...

[@guyrippon6085]

Battery issues within 12 months of purchase, Mobvoi do not repair but offer discount on a replacement

[@PeterHerget]

That is strange, I think they should have offered you a replacement 100% if it was within the warranty period. LAME news.

[@maddmike7775]

There should be more consideration about whom these watches are for. For instance the comparison to g shock and it's lap button. Well g shock is a tactical watch. The focus is different. There's a lot of health focus on smartwatches across the board, but it appears that their trying to gear towards music or gps.

[@PeterHerget]

An interesting point. As for a smartwatch for music, yeah, Apple & Samsung cast a large shadow over TicWatch. I don't know who the TicWatch is for with its many inconsistencies, and poor battery life. It was better then the TicWatch 3, and perhaps with more fine-tuning over the next nine months Mobvoi will release an amazing TicWatch 6 in 2024🤞

[@JDMoc1970]

Great watch. Hope your seeing a Dermatologist on a regular basis!

[@PeterHerget]

I hope so too! Dermatologists do help with healthier skin 😁

Can you text back to whatsapp messages not using message templates?

[@PeterHerget]

Sorry, I don't know and I no longer use What'sApp for I kept getting SMAP messages.

[@vpnconsult]

Now i know Better buy a real Garmin.

[@PeterHerget]

I would recommend COROS over a Garmin as far as valuable bang-for-your buck smart sports watch. The comfort factor of the COROS Pace 3 is far better than a Garmin EPIX 2.0 or their new Fenix 7X Pro. For example, those larger Garmin watches giggle around my wrist too much when I run. One my primary reasons for running is to stay fit, healthy, and avoid obesity. I don't like the feeling of anything giggling while running 7.8 miles per hour 🤓

[@xx-qs1ij]

Maybe the best most detailed video review. Also former QA myself :) Can u give sone specific details on high heart rate 5-10kn runs. I am choosing watch for me right now. Looking for sport and media combination. Also how does sending messages e.g. in Telegram app looks like? Can u send m3ssages text and voice in non-english,

[@PeterHerget]

Thank you and glad you liked the video. Sorry, I didn't get a chance for a 10K run, but I do have data from a 5K run and another video to make. As for media, yes, you can reply to text messages. Sorry, never heard of the Telegram app. The voice dictation was as good as any other WearOS smartwatch :)

[@xx-qs1ij]

@@PeterHerget sry to bug you even more. Is it possible to setup that I would see my current PACE during run, without any additional manupulations ? And if yes - can this data will be shown...can the screen will always stays ON with this data during running ? Or I have to rotate wrist to make it appear ?

[@PeterHerget]

I just finished a HITT & strength workout wearing my COROS Pace 3 and the watch face stays on the entire time - it was great! And yeah, you can adjust the workout screen to fit your needs. Would you like me to make you a video, eh?

[@xx-qs1ij]

@@PeterHerget noo man that would be too much. But ...in future if... You cover running more ...like running related that would be cool as hell. E.g. - which training cab I specify, like intervals, can they be progressive (200m, 400m, 600m) - can I access additional timer on the watch during, how calls watch during run, how KZbin music watch during run (e.g. do they have like button so u can add tracks to like list without phone, also are watch tracking inclines/declines, also which statistics are given in the end - is it possible to see withing a single kilometer my fast pace and slow pace. I am just from running perspective there are tons of things. Nevertheless u have maybe THE MOST detailed watch review I have seen. So thx again.

As someone who is into 'being promoted ' by mobvoi did you ask them about their broken promises on the ticwatch pro3 ? Do you think future customers should be scared by their lack of integrity

[@PeterHerget]

Sorry, I asked and... Mobvoi turned me down. They were not interested in a Collaboration at this time. Not with their TicWatch Pro 5 nor with the Mobvoi Home Incline treadmill sitting on my living room floor for nearly two weeks (unopened).

Great information - thank you!

[@DjSkillerTV]

Literally a lot of missed oportunities... This could be the best watch to wear, unfortunetly it isn't. No stop watch or a count down, on eco mod is literally no-brainer. I can't strugle enough this watch have big no-brainer cons and MO (missed opportunities). But then they have made sleeping sounds? Literally why 😂 A blender noise, deep fried food. W-H-Y-? - Why there is no stop watch in ecomode and there is a KITCHEN BLENDER SOUND. This is a child based logic system.

[@PeterHerget]

Yeah, I wanted to love to wear the TicWatch Pro 5 more than it was possible. Unfortunately, yes, too many inconsistencies with the watch hardware, software, and within the Mobvoi app. Every company makes mistakes, remember the Apple iPhone 4 death grip? I still have a lot of hope for the TicWatch 6🤞

[@ilsignorfesta7716]

please, stop with those zooms, they're annoying as hell lol 💀💀

[@PeterHerget]

So... you've been to hell and they have KZbin. That is fascinating and I will simply take your word for it. Now, back the video, yes, the zooming in and out was a tad too much and I have not used the auto-zoom feature on my Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 since that particular video was created. I found it to be quite annoying during the four hours of editing it took me to create the TicWatch Pro 5 review you just watched. Are you a fan of TicWatch?

[@ilsignorfesta7716]

I've been a video editor so i know what means edit for hours just for a short video, but those zooms have trampoline vibes however not a TicWatch fan, but quite interested in it. i'm still understanding if this will be my next watch @@PeterHerget

[@PeterHerget]

I would recommend waiting for the next TicWatch. The TW Pro 5 was inconsistent, and I believe my video had more negative points than positive. I had high hopes for this TicWatch in 2023 and will hope again, and cheer for Mobvoi in 2024. If you need a great workout watch... 1. COROS Pace 3, only $229 2. Garmin Forerunner - around $300 to $500 I would pass on the Samsung Galaxy Watch6 and don't buy the Apple Watch Ultra 2.0 either. I am also really enjoying the Amazfit Balance for $250 ~ happy shopping!

[@randreas69]

They sent me a voucher to let me upgrade after the battery on the Pro 5 had died. In the e mode there's a separate setting to let the watch not blink into your face during the night, deselect tilt wakeup and you now have to press the side button to light.

Ticwatch sounds like a good watch but with some shortcomings. I might wait for the next iteration to see if they fix any of the issues you addressed

[@PeterHerget]

Yes, it is a good watch. Many people comment on the fact that I am too picky. Nonetheless, I am a QA Software Engineer during the day and that bleeds over into over areas of my life. I did point out many positive aspects of the TicWatch Pro 5 :) Thanks for your comment and happy May 2024!

I have the sandstone one with Wear OS 3.5 and i have to say it's a pretty good watch. The low power screen could be laid out better and i barely use it to be honest, so I am getting around 3 full days at full brightness with all the bells and whistles turned on, with a third party watchface. I do feel Wear OS needs some killer feature, something that just makes you smile but in general, it's a good watch... And I actually received an update yesterday!

[@PeterHerget]

That is great to hear. Three days of battery life with the settings you described, well now... that is up there with the infamous Apple Watch ULTRA ;)

[@joecantdance494]

@@PeterHerget Yeah I regularly get that much, with the low power as my AOD and tilt to wake set to the AMOLED. I came from an original Huawei Watch GT which was a 7 day watch but apart from notifications, it did very little else. The update yesterday gave an option for enhanced vibrations which is great and much more intense. I think the update controversy has given Mobvoi a bad name but I don't see anything in Wear OS4 that is particularly needed. Would be nice to see the OS3 update for older users but as it's my first Mobvoi I can live with what I have quite easily

[@PeterHerget]

Updates can do wonders. I hope simply hope that Mobvoi keeps up their creativity with the TicWatch series. Thanks for the comments. As for WearOS, well, there is always next year and to be honest, I preferred TizenOS from 2022.

​@@joecantdance494 Mobvoi wants some volunteers for beta testing of wear os 4, applications are opened until 30 4., so I guess that the upgrade to wear os 4 will come up :).

Can you turn off that horrible 1970s screen saver watch screen? It is hedious. If so, how long will the battery last? I will get this or the Amazfit T-Rex Pro Smart Watch as they are similiar budget. All advice appreciated. Thanks.

[@PeterHerget]

The TicWatch Pro 5 has lasted some 2 to 4 days, as always, it depends upon the display settings, GPS, and 22 other factors. I have not tested the T-Rex Pro, sorry. Normally, whatever the company tells you on their website and then subtract 10 to 20% when it related to battery life estimates.
