A few of my watch faces will be on sale from tomorrow. Try them, enjoy them, rate them!
So i have had rather rocky past week or so with my Ticwatch Pro 5 Enduro where it would stop muting my phone if I'm wearing my watch, first it would start working after restarting my watch, then it got worse as only way to make it work again was to go to Mobvoi Health app or in the watch settings and do the whole "unpair and reset" thing, which would fix it for a day or so.
Then last Wednesday the watch decided to mute the notifications on my phone real good, meaning that as intended incoming calls were silent with only the call notification on top of screen. But the watch would not vibrate or even show any notification about incoming calls and no amount of restarting the phone or watch fixed the issue.
I have reported these to mobvoi and their response was as follows.
"Dear (my name here),
Thank you for reaching out to the Mobvoi support team!
Sorry for the trouble.
There are stability issues, and sometimes it doesn't work.
We are considering canceling the silent notifications feature in the future.
It is recommended that the watch be turned on in Do Not Disturb mode.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.
As always, thank you for supporting Mobvoi. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Best regards,
The Mobvoi support team "
So is the silent phone notifications not a WearOS default feature but a Mobvoi own thing instead?
I have only had Mobvoi Ticwatch Pro 1 2018, pro 3 ultra gps and now pro 5 Enduro watches with WearOS, but on all my watches so far have had this feature so I thought it was part of WearOS itself.
As for the feature, it has been working as intended for past few days now just fine, my previous unpair and reset happened in Saturday around 7 p.m which is not that long ago, but seeing how last week i got used to have to do it almost daily, this has been weirdly calm few days.
And yeah you can say "get another watch instead of Mobvoi, but as the pro 5 Enduro is right now, when it is working, it is exactly what I want from smartwatch. But if mobvoi starts to strip away basic stuff from WearOS for reasons, then i might just be forced to reevaluate switching to another manufacturer.
Lenovo smart watch s2 Anyone who has used it ?
I am aware that Huawei band 9 has more accurate heart rate tracking. And Samsung offers more features, smooth software experience. Also I am using a Samsung phone. Please suggest which one I should go for.
I didn't regoniced that I got any artifical Intelligence based messages suggesting on the galaxy #watch7 which need as operating system at least ONE UI 6.1.1 and it's installed at my SM-F948B (ZFold 5) since it's was available? It's work only on the newer devices (6⃣) ? 😅
Hello. For the past two days, something very strange has been happening to me. I have the Oppo Find X8 Pro and the Oppo Watch X synchronized with the same Google account; both devices appear in the Google device list and in the Play Store device list. However, from the phone, I can't install apps on the watch; it always gives me an error. I've tried with a Samsung S24 paired with a Galaxy Watch 7 using the same Google account and the same thing happens. However, from the PC on the Play Store website, I can install apps on the smartwatch. Any idea what could be the issue? Thanks!
Hi All,
I have an issue currently which is the confusion about what smartwatch to get that suits my needs. I want a smart watch that lasts for a considerable amount of time, with the basic features that any smartwatch should have, such as notifications for applications with the ability to respond to these notifications, receiving and making calls with the ability to respond or cancel calls, sleep tracking, steps, running, auto activity detection, blood oxygen, blood pressure, stress measuring, and so on.
My problem is that there are loads of options in each brand, however, each one misses something. For instance, if I thought about getting Galaxy Watch Ultra or Galaxy Watch, it does contain good smartwatch features, however, it does have a lot of problems as well such as inaccuracy, bad battery life, paying a lot for a product that does not feel premium and is not durable, and so on. On the other hand, when I thought about Gramin, they have decent watches with a very good quality, however, it lacks the features that you need in a smartwatch. I also thought about Pixel Watch and the other similar watches as well, but unfortunately, it's not different that the others.
My current mobile phone is a Samsung Galaxy phone, and to be honest, I'm just lost amongst all these options that none of them looks good.
Any suggestions?
Oh, and I thought about Galaxy Fit 3 as well, and it has some of the features I mentioned with a decent price, however, it has not that much of a smartwatch features.
My Galaxy Watch 5 received One UI 6 update. Its performance improved, and I love the new energy score metric.
Unique features and design elements:
It encapsulates all the relevant elements, including analogue and digital display, date, health metrics and battery status.
Features a variety of exclusive color options & customizable complications.
An informative hybrid watchface in a unique style.

I want a new smartwatch or band for my Samsung smartphone.
All I really care about is that it vibrates and displays notifications with the content of a message and that it has 5+ days battery life with all the extra functions turned off.
It would also be nice if it looked good or had exchangeable wristbands so I can use a stainless steel band. But this isn't a priority.
What products would you recommend? It could be official brands or AliExpress copies, as long as the notifications work properly.
Testers will be able to use the watch faces for free. You must send your email address via DM
