The alleged leak comes from a Reddit user (via 9to5Google) who shared the alleged Amazon listing (Opens in a new tab) Next to what clearly appears to be marketing material for the alleged TicWatch Pro 5 smartwatch. Both reveal almost everything to expect from Mobvoi’s next Android smartwatch.
According to the leak, the TicWatch Pro 5 will feature a 1.43-inch OLED display with a resolution of 466 x 466. The display also supports ultra-low power mode and has a pixel density of 326ppi. It also comes with Corning Gorilla Glass anti-fingerprint protection on top. The smartwatch measures 50.15mm x 48mm x 12.2mm and weighs 44.35g, which is slightly heavier than the Galaxy Watch 5.
The TicWatch Pro 5 supports interchangeable bands, and the watch case comes in stainless steel and 7000-series aluminum finishes. It will also have a rotating crown, a feature found on some other watches like the one from Fossil.
Underneath, the marketing images suggest that it will be powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 chipset, which is said to boost performance and increase efficiency while preserving battery life. The smartwatch also features up to 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage.
Keeping the lights on is the 611mAh battery that is said to support fast charging. It translates to users getting around 65% of the battery in just 35 minutes of charging. In terms of protection, the smartwatch has a 5ATM rating along with a military-grade MIL-STD-810H rating.
It looks like the TicWatch Pro 5 will have a bunch of health features, like the ability to get five vital health metrics in about 90 seconds. Additionally, to monitor your heart rate, the device uses 18 tones that sync to your heartbeat to track and give you additional information about your heat performance. It also equips with 24-hour oxygen saturation monitoring.
Moreover, with Wear OS 3, we can expect good things from Google’s smartwatch ecosystem, such as using Strava, integrated Google Maps, Google Wallet, and more. Additional features include smart notifications from connected Android phones, over 100 custom watch faces, and sleep tracking, just to name a few.
Despite its sweet time, the TicWatch Pro 5 is poised to be one of the best Android smartwatches on the market. It has many exciting features, including WearOS 3, a sturdy body and strong protection with water resistance. Despite knowing all the features and information available now, the launch of the TicWatch Pro 5 remains to be determined. However, it looks like we’ll finally get our hands on the watch soon, and we can’t wait.
