TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro copies Galaxy Watch 6 features

Mobvoi has just launched the TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro smartwatch. It comes as an upgraded version of the TicWatch Pro 5 that the company launched in May 2023. Interestingly, some of the improvements that the new wearable brings over its predecessor are already present in the Galaxy Watch 6, and these improvements make TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro compete with Samsung’s latest smartwatch more fiercely, at least on paper.

What’s changed?

The TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro offers five upgrades over the TicWatch 5 Pro.

First, it features sapphire crystal protection on the display instead of the Gorilla Glass that the previous model offers, which is something that Galaxy Watch 6 features too. This upgrade should make the display more resistant to scratches. Second, the TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro has reinforced bezels around the display, which should make it more rugged. Third, it features a redesigned rotating crown, which is bigger, and according to Mobvoi, should offer “effortless navigation.

Fourth, the TickWatch 5 Pro Enduro is slimmer than the TickWatch 5 Pro (11.95mm vs 12.2mm). While it is nowhere as slim as the Galaxy Watch 6, which has a waistline of just 9mm, the reduction in thickness is commendable considering that it packs a massive, 628mAh battery. Fifth, the new watch comes with a ‘Fluororubber’ band, which should feel similar to the Sport band of the Galaxy Watch 6. Unfortunately, TickWatch 5 Pro Enduro still ships with Wear OS 3.

Despite these upgrades, the TickWatch 5 Pro Enduro costs the same as the TickWatch 5 Pro, having a price tag of USD 349. That makes it USD 20 costlier than the Galaxy Watch 6.
