Mobvoi has announced the TicWatch 5 Pro, which is the first wearable in this year’s flagship range. The new device succeeds the TicWatch 3 Pro and offers improvements in many aspects. However, Mobvoi’s main focus remains health tracking to compete with the best in the industry. That’s why the company launched its new and improved health app alongside the device.
The TicWatch Pro 5 is the first to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 chip promising improved performance and efficiency. The display is 1.43″ in size, it uses an OLED panel protected by Gorilla Glass and an additional ultra-low-power display with a modest backlight to save some energy and still provide a reading. The whole system is based on 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage.

As is the case with the rest of the TicWatches, the 5 Pro is powered by Google’s Wear OS, in this case version 3. Notably, Google recently announced Wear OS 4, but we don’t know which devices will get an update.
The usual set of sensors are built in, allowing you to track more than 100 different types of workouts and use a new one-touch measurement feature that provides insight into heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen, stress levels, and even VO2 Max Mobvoi claims that tracking of the latter has also been improved. NFC is also available for contactless payments.
A sizable 628mAh battery keeps the lights on, which Mobvoi says is enough to last around 80 hours with the so-called Smart Essential Mode, which will automatically switch to the low-power secondary display when you don’t need the OLED one. Also in the menu is fast charging which offers 65% charge in 30 minutes.

The frame is made of 7000 series aluminum and high-strength nylon with glass fiber, while the default strap is 24 mm type silicone. The TicWatch 5 Pro complies with the US-MIL-STD 810H military standard and can withstand harsh conditions with rain, sand, ice, shock and vibration. The right-hand crown rotates and can be used for menu navigation.
The device will set you back $349 or €359, depending on where you live, and is only available in Obsidian color. It is available for purchase immediately.
