The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Mobvoi's transition away from TicWatch Wear OS has drawn sharp criticism from reviewers, though its newer AI-driven offerings like TicNote have earned positive coverage. The company remains a consistent presence in smartwatch and fitness tracker assessments, but the discontinuation of its established lineup presents a significant credibility challenge against the momentum of its emerging product direction.

Frequently asked
What buyers want to know.
Is Mobvoi still making TicWatch smartwatches?
The press reports that Mobvoi's TicWatch Wear OS lineup appears to be discontinued, drawing sharp criticism from reviewers. The company has committed to essential updates for existing TicWatch models but is no longer actively developing new ones.
What is Mobvoi focusing on now if not TicWatch?
Mobvoi has shifted toward AI-powered note-taking products, including TicNote, TicNote Pods, and TicNote Watch with cloud features and an AI assistant called Shadow Agent. Reviewers testing these products at tech conferences have reported positive experiences with the AI note-taking functionality.
What are Mobvoi's most reliable smartwatch models?
The TicWatch Pro 6, TicWatch Pro 5, TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro, and TicWatch Pro 6 Enduro are the brand's most commonly recommended models. These watches are ranked by AI for traits like battery life, durability, GPS, dual display technology, and rugged construction.
Should I buy a Mobvoi smartwatch given the discontinuation?
Reviewers note this discontinuation presents a credibility challenge. If you value long-term software support and new features, the shift away from TicWatch development is a significant factor to weigh against the durability and battery performance these watches are known for.
