Mobvoi, the company that recently released the Wear
OS update for its two TicWatch smartwatches, has just announced the upcoming
availability of yet another wearable device powered by Google's platform.
The new TicWatch Pro is a step up from the previous
TicWatch S and E smartwatches, both in terms of specs and price. According to
Mobvoi, the TicWatch Pro will be available for purchase in the US this summer
for less than US$ 300, and an LTE model is in the cards as well.
The price is more than decent considering the
TicWatch Pro comes with heart rate sensor, NFC (Near Field Communication)
support and a second FSTN LCD display on top of the OLED screen, which is
supposed to extend the battery life of the smartwatch to two days of use.
For even more battery life, the TicWatch Pro
includes a so-called Essential Mode that turns off Wear OS and the OLED screen
when enabled. You will still be able to see basic info on the LCD panel like
the time, date and so on. It's worth mentioning that enabling Essential Mode
will provide you with up to 30 days of use, Mobvoi claims.
