Ticwatch Pro 5 vs Galaxy Watch 5 Pro Smartwatch Comparison - Which one to buy?

[@gregyance9901]

Ticwatch for sure now that comes with the last version of wear os

[@dannykirk3011]

Every ticwatch I have tried had the worst vibration. More like a buzz than a vibration. Has Mobvoi improved the vibration on this model 5 pro?

[@peterwalker9525]

I currently have the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra and am looking to upgrade. At first, I thought the Samsung would be better due to the ECG and BP sensors, but when I heard that only works with a Samsung phone, that is a deal breaker as I am not switching my phone as well for that. It looks like TicWatch Pro 5 it will be, but will wait for the price to come down.

[@rick_terscale1111]

Samsung have ECG and BIA. Wow. Nice. For some reason I thought TWP 5 was also getting ECG. I'd buy a Galaxy Watch Pro 5 too but as you need a Samsung phone to unlock all features I don't really want to buy a phone just for the sake of enabling the features on the watch. Although I could go for a budget Samsung phone. hmmm....

[@weekendwarrior8179]

As of now tic watch pro doesn't have Google Assistant. GW5 does have the Google Assistant. Tic watch can't be trusted to provide updates.

[@Nugetsi]

This is true of any brand. If a feature is absent on release and is coming soon™, then it's just better to think it's not coming at all.

[@rick_terscale1111]

Its not up to Mobvoi to provide updates. Google control which devices get the updates. Google are hobbling many devices, not just watches. So don't blame Mobvoi for its restricted "Google" features. Remember, what Google creates, Google controls!!!

[@davidmccarthy6061]

To bad Samsung works best with Samsung phones which many people don't have, and they get exclusive rights to each new version of Wear OS and other brands have to wait. On the other hand, apparently the Mobvoi customer service is about the worst of any industry and future updates are unlikely. Pixel watch would go with my Pixel phone but their watch remains quite disappointing. So now I'm waiting until fall AGAIN to see if the next Pixel watch is any good, and maybe see how well this TicWatch is holding up and if Mobvoi has improved any, which seems very unlikely.

[@rick_terscale1111]

Thanks for yet another awesome smartwatch review/comparison Chigz!! ;) I'll be upgrading from TWP 3 to TWP 5 .... but will wait until the Black Friday sales. :D

[@DrMIS1]

I looked at both of these and was tempted by the battery life, dual display, and lighter and thinner body of the Ticwatch. However, I already had a Galaxy Watch 3 and with trade in at Samsung the Watch 5 Pro was around $200, so that's what I got. I also prefer the titanium body of the Samsung, which I expect to be sturdier. I'm very happy with my choice.

[@rick_terscale1111]

Titanium would definitely make a difference. My TWP 3 has a deep scratch on the case, most likely because its made of softer aluminum. Hopefully Mobvoi release the Ultra version of TWP 5 with titanium case.

[@Gaetano.94]

Trust me. I had the Oppo Watch 5 Pro, it was the only watch with the Snapdragon W5+ Gen1 until the TW5P, and battery sometimes lasted me for 6 days, and this was running Android 10 (ColorOS)

[@shawndixon4536]

I have been looking for a new watch to replace my aged Fitbit Versa 2. My list inckudes the Pixel Watch, Galaxy 5 Pro, Fossil Gen 6, and the Ticwatch Prro 5. I just got a Pixel 7, and wanted to pair it to a Pixel Watch, but I am not a fan ofbthe look of it, and the reviews on the battery life and a few other performance issues made me reconsider. The Fossil was the next on my list, and I really like the brand, but the Sapphire glass on the Samsung was really selling me on it, even though I truely dislike Samsung products. But after reading and watching a bunch ofnreviews on multiple smart watches, including this one, I really think the Tickwatch Pro 5 is a perfect choice for me.

[@MarcosFull]

I consider that the experience that Samsung has both in software and hardware makes up for the second screen and bigger battery of the ticwatch. All of Samsung's software and ecosystem is very polished compared to the Ticwatch app. On the other hand, the lousy support that Mobvoi provided after Ticwatch 3 is a precedent to take into account, and nothing indicates that in a few months they will do it again with their new watch. In recent months, Mobvoi has been giving away watches in quantity to youtubers who have zero knowledge of technology, in order for them to make positive reviews of their watches and clean up their image.

@@ChigzTech Sorry but your video claims, that it HAS the assistant now. It is actually not clear at all when and if ever the Assistant will come to mobvoi's watch. So far it seems that it is limited to Samsung Chips and there's no news confirming, that Google is actually working on bringing the assistant to other chipsets as well. They might even be encouraged to delay that work just so they can improve sales of their pixel watch, which has nothing going on for it, so this is a small thing that'd give it an edge over the competition (even though Samsung does have the assistant). Your video is actively deceiving your viewers and therefore you should correct that information.

One big advantage of wireless is you don't need a port on you smartwatch. It would make the watch thicker and costs higher. Besides that, the port will degrade in time.

Blame Google for that. TWP 3 Ultra supports Wear OS3. Mobvoi would have loved to have pushed through updates for all TWP 3/Ultra owners, but it all comes down to Google. What Google creates, Google controls. But the Mobvoi hardware is outstanding and the WearOS version for me isnt a deciding factor, unless of course it means that the watch becomes useless and unuseable.

[@MandingoSwindler]

Ive read that in the past Mobvoi required you to pay a subscription to access some of its smart watch features , is the Ticwatch Pro 5 the same and you will have to pay a subscription ?

[@pjaypender1009]

I've owned 7 Ticwatches starting with the original Ticwatch E through the Ticwatch pro 3 Ultra and have never had to pay a subscription to access any feature on the any of them. I have ordered the Pro 5. IDK where you got that a subscription was required in the past but I can say it's not true of the E, S, S2, Pro, Pro3 GPS, E3, or Pro 3 Ultra because I own all of those. Those all did not require a subscription to access any features.

A battery 🔋 life of 6 days is really impressive, but is it with exactly the same features activated on the 2 smartwatches, and especially the same use 🤔 The only smartwatch that can make me give up my Galaxy Watch 3 is a Galaxy Watch Classic (obviously with the rotating physical ring) running Wear-OS and has at least 3 days of battery 🔋 life, and apparently, it will be the future Galaxy Watch 6 Classic🤞🏽

[@rick_terscale1111]

From having read hundreds of reviews regarding Google Assistant or any other assistant, not many people actually use it on their smart watches. So it has nothing to do with Moboi. Mobvoi dont get to make that decision. Google decides which hardware (3rd party hardware) gets which features. What Google creates, Google controls. Wear OS is created by Google, therefore Google control who and what gets their features. And Google will always favour their own devices first, and of course Samsung who pay them big bucks for full features.

I thought the tic watch was going to be the next watch... I refuse to buy a new watch that has charging pins. I've been thru 3 different Fitbit's ( 1 versa 1 and 2 versa 2 second one was replaced under warranty) and now on my second fossil Gen 5 Carlyle, again the second one was a replacement under warranty. All of the watches have died from corroded charging pins / charging rings . I'm not sure why manufacturers insist on using the horrible way to charge the watch. Hopefully pixel watch 2 will be a contender.

Dude same I've had Fitbit and Garmins and absolutely hate their charging pin connectors. They wear out after a year or 2. Galaxy wireless magnetic chargers are much better.

[@Nugetsi]

I have the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro currently, bought it the day it became available. And I would say anyone currently thinking between these two watches, go for the Ticwatch instead. The old processor used on GW5 is just plainly bad. The experience is far from smooth, stutters and lag happens regularly. Also with LTE this device overheats if you use it inside or somewhere where the LTE connection is not that good. And when this happens, the watch goes to forced cooldown mode and it can't be used at all during this time. I am disappointed by this watch. And if you don't want a ticwatch, then I'd say wait for the next gen of Pixel or Samsung watches instead.

Only disappointing specification of the Ticwatch I can see is the bizarre choice of charger.
