Mobvoi has finally brought its TicWatch GTH to the global market. The square-faced smartwatch, a first for the company, has a sensor for 24-hour skin temperature monitoring. Surprisingly, the global version sells for more than double the price in China.
The unique selling point of the TicWatch GTH
is its 24-hour skin temperature measurement. There are very few smartwatches
that can measure temperature. The other two that come to mind are the Amazfit
GTS 2e and the Amazfit GTR 2e.
Mobvoi says that the temperature feature
is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical condition but will provide
additional information about your overall health. The sensor has an accuracy of
± 0.1°C and also provides on-demand readings that take a few seconds. Mobvoi
also adds 24-hour blood oxygen level detection and respiration rate (number of
breaths taken per minute). There is also an integrated breathing exercise coach
that helps you to relax.
The TicWatch GTH has a 1.55-inch TFT touch
display and uses 20mm interchangeable TPU straps. It runs RTOS, connects via Bluetooth
5.1, and is water-resistant up to 50 meters. There is a 260mAh battery inside
the device that charges in 2 hours. The battery life is said to go up to ten
days.
The smartwatch supports 14 workout modes
and workout detection (TicMotion). It also has support for sleep tracking, app
notifications, music playback control, sedentary reminder, and a
find-your-phone feature. Mobvoi is asking for US$ 95.99 (rest of the world) for
the TicWatch GTH which is more than double the ¥ 299 (US$ 46) price tag in China. It
is priced at US$ 79.99 in the US, € 79.99 in Europe, and £ 69.99 in the UK. The
smartwatch is already available for purchase on Mobvoi’s website.
