We've got Mobvoi's new TicWatch Pro 5 in for review and it was immediately noticeable that it was the the new standard upon which all other Wear OS watches should be judged by. Terms such as speedy, fluid, slick, and excellent battery life aren't the usual adjectives used when describing a Wear OS smartwatch, but the TicWatch Pro 5 certainly earns those plaudits. That being said, no device is 100% perfect and so Mobvoi is rolling out a software update that brings a few more features as well as some bug fixes.
The update carries build number RMDB.230615.003 and will roll out to the TicWatch Pro 5 incrementally according to the following roadmap:
- 00:00:00 06/29/2023 (20%)
- 01:00:00 07/01/2023 (50%)
- 02:00:00 07/01/2023 (100%)
The software update brings the following improvements and bug fixes:
Enhancement:
- Ensure that the security patch is up to date by upgrading it to the latest version, dated 2023-07-05.
- Enhance the vibration intensity of notifications to make them more noticeable.
- Allow the alarms to function even when the device is locked, particularly after exiting Essential mode.
- Improve the responsiveness of the OLED screen by increasing the speed of ‘Tilt to wake up' feature.
- Enhance the overall stability of the system to minimize any potential issues or glitches.
Bug fixes:
- Resolved an issue where the audio might not be heard by the other party during calls on certain devices.
- Fixed a bug that caused difficulties in customizing pictures while using the Image watchface.
- Addressed several issues that could lead to the TicHealth app crashing unexpectedly.
- Corrected a problem where the heart rate measurement occasionally displayed an incorrect off-wrist prompt.
- Resolved various other bugs and issues to improve overall performance and user experience.
