The Chinese wearable producer has been pretty lax on delivering WearOS 3 to its users, but it has teased that its next watch would run on the latest software. It's assumed that this would be the successor to last year's TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra.
The Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3 featured a good leap in technology from its previous iteration. The smartwatch features incredible performance, strong battery life, and improved sensors for tracking your health and sleep.
