TicWatch Pro 4G/LTE review | Fastest Google Wear OS smartwatch? | Test heart rate, GPS running, bike

TicWatch offer a range of smartwatches using Wear OS by Google - basically Android for smartwatches. But they all work with both Android and Apple smartphones.

The TicWatch Pro 4G/LTE is the priciest model in the range with a seemingly modest update on last year’s Ticwatch Pro. It’s a feature rich smartwatch, still based on the older Snapdragon 2100 but now with 1GB of RAM, double that of the previous model which should make it snappier. And it now supports cellular connectivity but only if you’re on Vodafone in the UK or Verizon in the US, for the time being at least.

It has an IP68 waterproof rating, built in GPS and continuous heart rate tracking with support for 6 activity types built in, including a swim mode. It has the same dual screen display of the previous model which supports up to 30 days of battery life in its Essential mode or up to 2 days of battery life in its standard mode.

I’ll run through its features drawing comparisons along the way to the cheaper Ticwatch S2 and Amazfit GTS and also the Apple Watch to see if this is the right smartwatch for you. So let’s take a closer look.
