[Updated: Also rolling out to TicWatch Pro 3 LTE] The big Wear OS H-MR2 update is finally rolling out to Mobvoi’s TicWatch Pro 3

It may be something of a cliche to say that Mobvoi's TicWatch Pro 3 is the King of Wear OS but it's the truth, there simply isn't a rival for the crown at this point in 2021. That doesn't mean that the TicWatch Pro 3 is perfect, although the beginning of the H-MR2 update rollout will get it closer still thanks to it adding true support for Qualcomm's Snapdragon 4100 chipset that lurks within.

Updated April 30: The big update is now also rolling out to the TicWatch Pro 3 LTE, with the following changes and optimizations included:

• Enable the notification sound
• New screen brightness layout
• Improved speed of the tilt-to-wake screen
• Improved performance on Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100 platforms
• Improved the smoothness of sliding
• Improved pairing speed when pairing with Android phones
• Support turning off the essential screen’s auto backlight
• Optimized the accuracy of off-body detection
• Updated security patch

Some six months after its launch, Mobvoi's TicWatch Pro 3 is still the king of Wear OS thanks to it being the only Snapdragon Wear 4100-powered smartwatch running Google's platform. To narrow it down even further, it's the only Snapdragon 4100-powered smartwatch, period.
