TicWatch Pro 5 is the first smartwatch to include the Snapdragon® W5+ Gen 1 Wearable Platform, powered with Wear OS by Google™ (Wear OS 3) at launch
SAN FRANCISCO, May 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Mobvoi Inc., the leading AI company and creator of TicWatch smartwatches, today unveiled the highly anticipated next-generation TicWatch Pro 5. As the premier leader in AI software-hardware integration, Mobvoi has strengthened its AI capabilities with a self-developed Large Language Model (Sequence Monkey) that has the potential to enhance the AI CoPilot feature of the TicWatch series.
TicWatch Pro 5 is the first wearable to feature the new Snapdragon® W5+ Gen 1 Wearable Platform, which supports versatile sensors, more accurate health algorithms, and a longer battery life. These advanced features position TicWatch Pro 5 as users’ wearable health copilot with the ability to collect health-related data, analyze it locally or through Mobvoi’s backend universal Large Language Model, to provide personal health insights and guidance. TicWatch Pro 5 also launches with Wear OS by Google (Wear OS 3) to help users stay connected in style. With the strongest exterior materials of any TicWatch to date, and an all-new rotating crown for easier navigation, TicWatch Pro 5 is the most powerful and most durable smartwatch in the TicWatch class.
“It’s been an honor working with some of the world’s leading global technology companies like Google and Qualcomm to create this next-generation TicWatch that integrates our in-house AI-based algorithms, setting a new standard for the category,” said Robert Zhang, vice president of engineering at Mobvoi. “Our team has spent countless hours perfecting these algorithms behind 24/7 continuous heart rate monitoring, sleep and fitness tracking features, and more to provide users with a seamless, enjoyable experience whether they are at home, in the gym, or on a hike. All of these bring our smartwatch closer to becoming a health copilot. Apart from that, we’re also adopting a company-owned AI model to copilot the content creation process (e.g. Text-to-Image) on our watch face creation platform – TimeShow.”
TicWatch Pro 5’s main shell is designed with ultra-strength durability through aerospace-grade Aluminum and a surgical-level metal bezel, providing a lightweight feel while being highly resistant to damage and corrosion. The bright and easily readable screen is protected by fingerprint and chip-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass. Tested to meet US-MIL-STD 810H and 5ATM water resistance, TicWatch Pro 5 is built to handle constant use and rugged adventures, with open water swimming suitability.
TicWatch Pro 5 proudly upholds the distinctive and celebrated legacy of the Dual-layer display design famously associated with the TicWatch series. TicWatch Pro 5 users will quickly notice the new design of the device’s 2nd-layer display (namely Ultra-low-power Display), and upgraded functionality for Essential Mode. The Ultra-low-power display allows users to see vital metrics via switchable tiles by rotating the crown, all without waking the watch. The upgraded Essential Mode introduces Smart Essential Mode which enables the watch to automatically go to sleep if it detects no motion, such as while a user is sleeping or not wearing it. These all enable users to proactively and strategically plan their battery usage and extend battery life for up to 80 hours*. With a quick 30-minute charge, the TicWatch Pro 5 can reach 65 percent* battery life, ensuring all workouts, date nights and day trips are connected.
