[MOBVOI TICWATCH PRO 5 REVIEW]

Early in the smartwatch wars, a company called Mobvoi carved out a following with a wearable called the TicWatch: a smart, low-profile timepiece controlled by a clever capacitive touch strip on the side. Even after ditching its homegrown TicWear platform for Google’s Wear OS, Mobvoi kept the attention of enthusiasts – because every year, it was among the first to use Qualcomm’s newest wearable chipsets, and it was the only manufacturer (outside of Casio) offering a dual-layer display to help with battery life and daylight visibility.

The TicWatch Pro 5 continues that tradition of hardware excellence … but it launches into a Wear OS world that’s oddly more fragmented than ever, and it debuts to an audience more skeptical than ever of Mobvoi’s commitment to its products. Is it worth paying the same as a Pixel Watch will cost you? I’m Michael Fisher and it’s time to find out.
