TicWatch Pro 2020 review: Incremental upgrades fail to lift user experience
Chinese
electronics maker Mobvoi recently launched in India the upgraded version of
its TicWatch Pro smartwatch (review). Named TicWatch Pro 2020,
the smartwatch brings some incremental upgrades with regard to design,
performance and user experience. Though it looks similar to the predecessor, it
has got a rugged design as part of the upgrade and that makes it look a little
bit more on your wrist. The flip side is that the rugged design also adds some
unnecessary bulk without adding any significant value or utility.
The
watch sports a 45mm case with a circular dial and 1.39-inch AMOLED touchscreen
of 400 x 400 resolution. It is a dual-layer display, which gets you extra
on-battery time but at the cost of sunlight legibility. The screen is
reflective in nature that makes it impossible to read under direct sunlight.
Moreover, the colours look washed out which makes on-screen content, including
watch faces, look dull and boring. Speaking of watch faces, the watch supports
limited home-screen themes with basic personalisation features.
