Naturally, Mobvoi has preinstalled a plethora of health and fitness apps.
There are cheaper watches out there from big brands that offer similar performance.
All the performance and functionality of the TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro comes at a cost.
This is an issue I usually have with most rubberized straps; I much prefer nylon.
Mobvoi does sell replacement straps, and there are plenty of compatible third-party ones out there.
Whats more impressive on the TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro is the switches.
The swivel on the crown is smooth and offers good haptic feedback, which is noticeable without being intrusive.
Presses are also pleasingly tactile and the same goes for the side button above.
All these factors combine to make it easy to operate the TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro.
The interface itself is sleek and minimal.
Menus are easy to navigate, for the most part, and the UI is laid out clearly.
The included TimeShow app offers even more face designs, but requires a paid subscription.
I didnt experience any performance issues with it either.
There are numerous Mobvoi apps related to fitness, which can seem overwhelming at first.
Another key app is TicExercise, which can track your workouts.
While the heart rate monitor seemed reasonably accurate, I found the sleep and blood oxygen measurements inconsistent.
Admittedly, this was a fitful night, but I certainly got more hours than this.
It also broke down my workout time into warm-up, fat-burning, cardio, anaerobic and danger zone phases.
Clearly, TicExercise is at its best when assessing aerobic rather than anaerobic activity.
Gestures occasionally failed to register, and some apps failed to open on the first tap.
Notification and media playback symbols can also obscure the battery level indicator on some watch face designs.
Third-party apps perform well on the whole.
During my tests, however, I was getting substantially less than this.
Over the course of 12 hours, I went from full to 70% with minimal use.
On the positive side, charging is quick, thanks to its fast charging capability.
It feels as if the mode switching couldve been implemented better than this.
You have an Android phoneAs a Wear OS rig, the TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro integrates superbly with Androids.
Some of your favorite apps are also available from the Play Store.
And at $249, its cheaper than the TicWatch.
In ourFitbit Luxe review, we said its one of the companys best models.
