I'm a long time user of Mobvoi products, but this watch is just something else. It's marvelous for the price you're paying. Let's go through some pros that make this a great tracker, and the cons which could use improvement.
Pros - There's a lot of strong ones
1. The battery life is absolutely insane. I took the watch out of the box, put it on for two days, went on a camping trip, came back, finished the week, and only then did I need to charge it, for no more than a few hours. Having used the TicWatch S, battery life was my biggest complaint and this watch definitely knocks that out.
2. Sleep tracking is amazing, pinpoint precise, and accessible directly from your watch (picture included). It's got a nice and sleek look that gives you what you need to know with no clutter.
3. The UI is fantastic, everything from the daily HR graph to the sleep charts to the activity tracking screen. Mobvoi really focused on the user experience here and they did an incredible job of it.
4. The price is absurdly low for a watch that gives you what it does, so there's that.
5. Watch faces are numerous and you can even make a custom on if the ones that are preloaded don't suit your taste. They're clean, well designed, and attractive.
6. The watch is engineered well. Despite the fact that it's cheap, it doesn't feel that way. It's got just the right weight to feel premium and still be negligible so it doesn't feel clunky.
7. The watch is waterproof, so you don't need to worry about getting it wet.
8. The step counter is very precise for me, and I haven't encountered any errors.
7. It's overall just a great watch and a bargain for the price you're paying. The value it gives you is its best selling point in my opinion.
Cons - These are mostly nitpicks since there are no fatal flaws in the watch (for me)
1. Notifications are a bit wonky. Whenever WhatsApp is "Checking for messages," the watch feels the need to let me know every 5 seconds so I just turn notifications off. Playing music and having the media widget in your task bar will count as a notification, etc. This is an easy software fix, if Mobvoi just sets it so that only active notifications are seen, notifications that would actually pop up in your notification bar and not passive notes your system makes. Even just giving the option to turn notifications on and off would be a fine fix.
2. When using tilt to wake, I can't fold my arms because the watch turns on and rubs against my forearms, making the screen do all sorts of weird stuff. Not really a critique of the watch, just a slight annoyance I encountered.
3. The mobile app Mobvoi uses for the watch is limited. You can't really do anything except change the watch face and view a few stats. Expanded customizability would go a long way towards making this watch a flagship killer, and letting it fully stomp out the competition.
4. The refresh rate of the screen is a bit low, so it doesn't feel snappy. Frame stuttering is noticeable, but that's just inevitable when we're talking about a watch at this price range. You just can't get high tier processors in them, and, to be honest, you don't really need to. Still a nitpick and noticeable con though.
5. The buttons don't always respond quickly, probably just a hardware quirk but the reactivity of the watch is limited. You're not going to get the smooth transitions you would get with a $200+ tracker. But again, you're paying 1/4th that.
6. There's no elevation tracking, so if you're walking uphill or downhill, the watch won't map a difference even though there's a quite significant one.
Overall the watch is really good for the price. The fact that I'm comparing it to flagships and not other watches of the same price range is a pretty good indicator of its quality. If Mobvoi could roll out a few software improvements and improve hardware over the next few releases, their stuff is really looking to be the future of the smartwatch market.

Customer reviews
After having the watch for about a month, I'm writing my review. So the first thing I had to do was adjust my expectations of what this watch was. I was thinking it had some features close to a smart watch but not the case. Closest comparison is to my Fitbit.Positives is it looks great and feels great on my wrist. Price for what it does it very good. Battery life is amazing - I think I wore it for two weeks without charging. Now at the same time, a negative here is there is no gauge to tell me how much battery life is remaining. This is a basic feature that even my fitbit has. Step counter works well, HR monitoring is fairly accurate and I like how the info is displayed. I did not use any of the fitness tracking apps so no comments there.Negatives: Very disappointed that there are no additional apps that can be installed - that's where I had to adjust my expectations. Disappointed in the limited number of watch faces and no ability to really customize them with the info I want to display. A few of them look nice but I was hoping I could leverage some of the watch faces from my other tic watches. The weather has never worked correctly - Can't get it to display. The Mobvoi app crashes all the time and is very annoying. The Tic Sleep App is nicely laid out but is very spotty in tracking any info. Mobvoi tries to give you SMS messages and other notifications but there is limited useful info displayed and the fonts are very hard to read. My fitbit charge 3 does much better here.All in all, the inexpensive price makes it is a decent fitness tracking watch. It has great potential but a few things need to be fixed to make it a great watch.

The App, not much there... just the facts. Okay, I don't know about you all but I'm cool with this, I just like to get to what I want to know, like how many steps I did yesterday, 10,128, <he typed as if someone asked, knowing it was wishful typing>. All thanks to my Honey Do List that seems to be written on demon paper or in Satan's ink, cause I swear... it keeps growing man. Soooo, in the Health Center you get the standard calendar of your days of Steps (calories and miles) Heart Rate (it say it does blood pressure but if you have a BP cuff use that) Sleep and Exercise. I didn't get it in time for a weekday workout, I don't workout on the weekends. Here is why I don't workout on the weekend, my wife hipped me to a little something, the honey do list, its a workout, and sweet Moneypenny (Yup, I'm that good) if she ain't right (in the head but don't tell her I said that). It's an all day HIIT Tabata Workout with tor·ture (yes I type that correct cause I just can't stress it enough). It's got some other stuff going on like Smart Mode, Smart Reminder and more settings I haven't gotten to play with those yet... cause they aren't as cool as the Watchface Center. You get a selections of faces blah blah BUT you can custom your watch face with an image or photo. I am a big Godzilla fan and the big Kong fight is coming up, sooooo you know... well I like it. The watch and the watch face.
Right now, it's getting a full charge while I type this, part of my little Brake/Fix process. The watch started smack talkin' right out of the box. It was all like I get up to 10 days battery life and I was like, whatever... let's see who whispers for their mama from the fetus position before then. Side note and *NSYNC song, It's Gonna Be Me.
I'll keep you guys posted.
First Blush
By Surrealeye on March 28, 2021
Got the watch Friday and my first thoughts are, it's light in weight and pretty Men In Black looking (shout to all the nerds and geeks in the group) very secret agent sleek, I like that. I had to charge it for 2-3 hours before setting it up, but it arrived with a 3/4 full charge. The user controls are easy, two buttons. There is a black and red super villain looking button <insert Goldfinger impression here, "No Mr. Bond I want you to die"> that's the wake, main menu and back button. This button will take you through the standard stuff, controlling music on your phone, your progress etc. and its touch screen. The other button is like the grunt button, we'll call it the Oddjob button, cause we got the whole Bond theme going... any who who. This one gets you to your selections of workouts. It's 14 sport modes y'all, between you and me, I ain't using but 2 maybe 3 cause its waterproof enough to wear in a pool.By Surrealeye on March 28, 2021
