The w they are already a part of our day-to-day life and lifestyle, and as such, we are finding them in different types of range. TicWatch offers a smartwatch within what we can consider top of the range, and away from the technological design and without physical buttons that we are used to.
We thank TicWatch for giving us the product for review

Unboxing
Here is the front of the Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra box. It is appreciated only by the design that we are not facing a low-end one, but a more advanced one by giving importance to design, since it bears Google's OS Wear.
This last concept is not bad, since Google has decided to revitalize the operating system seeing that wearables are increasingly part of our daily lives. This gives it great support unlike other smartbands and smartwatches that sell their own operating systems or rely on third-party apps not supported by a manufacturer that has an interest in keeping the operating system up and running for the long term.
The back of the box is dedicated to showing us its features:
- WearOS by Google.
- Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100 processor.
- Fatigue detector.
- Battery with autonomy of 72 hours in smart mode and 45 days in essential mode.
- Dual display with backlight.
- 20 custom exercise modes.
- Access to Google Pay to be able to pay by card.
- Dial customization.
- Connectivity with 4G.
- GPS.
- Heart rate, stress and sleep monitoring sensors.
- IP68 water resistance.
- Google Assistant.
When opening the box we find the usual promotional brochure of the brand. Below it we find the Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra, kept as a high-end watch.
Underneath the watch, we find the instruction manual and the charging cable. The silica gel pack prevents the pack from getting wet.
Design
Out of the box, the Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra comes with a sleek dark brown leather strap, a departure from the plastic straps found on other smartwatches.
On the right side between the physical buttons, there is the gap where you can force the reset if necessary.
The interior part has numerous activity sensors. It is appreciated that they are more than those with other models of lower ranges, to have a more accurate record of our activity.
Once fine-tuned, we are presented with this dial, reminiscent of the Casio style. If we don't like it or get tired of it, we have several styles to choose from.
Here's how the backlight works, with a bluish tint.
After a short season of use, we tested the activity log. The record is quite detailed in that it indicates the type of activity, and even the rest time.
One of the spheres with the activity indicators. The WhatsApp notification icon is also appreciated, and it is compatible with others such as Discord, Skype or Telegram.
For those who have doubts about whether it fits, the strap fits all types of wrists.

Experience with the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra and conclusions
Having tried other entry-level wearables thinking simply of being able to receive notifications silently, the move to the Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra is very noticeable and appreciated. First up is the much more serious design, along with the leather strap for that sleeker, more premium feel. It also makes handling it much more comfortable than having to adapt to touch button operation to handle everything and seeing less information.
When it comes to fitness and wellness tracking, accuracy is on another level. It even indicates the rest time, ideal for athletes who need to calculate it, or for people who for health reasons must take care of their physical activity so as not to overexert themselves. It is not a substitute for a professional sensor, but it comes close and if we remember to monitor and follow it we will put it to good use.
Among other small details, we have noticed that the battery lasts very long, that the screen is of great quality, it has many configurations, it supports 4G eSim so that it has its own coverage and it allows payment through Goole Pay. The latter is ideal if you simply want to go out and make a quick purchase and not look for your wallet, and the comfort is appreciated.
We are especially happy with the Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra. Knowing it's high-end, it has met and exceeded our expectations for ease of use. Its battery lasts very long, it is very easy to use, to configure... There are only a few details that we can say against it and they are practically minutiae. Its price of entry is high for what is the most casual wearable audience, but it more than makes up for it.
- Incredibly high battery life.
- Fluency of use.
- Many configuration options.
- Very precise sensors.
- The mobile app allows a great configuration and offers a lot of information.
- eSim 4G.
- Elegant style.
- The LCD backlight menu is very hidden.
- Its ip68 certificate does not specify meters or time under water.
