I have been thinking about this watch for some time. When I bought them, I brought them home, so after turning them on I found out that they are only compatible with android phones. As an Iphone owner, I felt sorry for this and had to return the watch. I'm sorry that such a premium brand hasn't counted on compatibility with the most widely used mobile OS in the world and yet it's not even mentioned anywhere in the product description. Unfortunately, I have to rate it 3/5 because this is a major mistake. Otherwise, the watch makes a very nice impression on me even though I couldn't try it out.
Nice and quality workmanship
Good crown response
Leather strap
Incompatibility with IOS

My experience with the watch can be divided into two parts. The first day and the rest. After unpacking and initial excitement and replacing the tape. (Yes, the elite version differs only by the included leather strap), I started setting everything up. I downloaded the app turned on the watch, paired it and it immediately asked for an update. I gave her permission and started playing. At first some apps didn't work, even the basic weather didn't want to start, others demanded the position they had and the battery went down fast. Somewhat disconcerted, I had them recharged. I took the watch off the charger this morning and after about 90 minutes found the battery showing 81 percent and dropping further. Then the watch announced the update was complete and I've had another device on my wrist since. All installed apps run without problems, the dramatic battery drain disappeared and after two days I drained around 40 percent. I have set the heart rate measurement after 10 minutes and the watch continuously measures other parameters during the day and the battery holds. I don't know how the second display worked on the older TW pro 3, but it fits quite a bit here. The only thing that spoils my joy is the mobile app. As far as setting up the watch, there's not much in it, a lot of things need to be done directly in the watch and sometimes it doesn't display the measured steps, heart rate or anything else up to date. Usually a screen reload is enough, sometimes not even that and the app stubbornly shows 200 steps less than the watch. But it always evens out over time. I switched from a first generation Samsung Galaxy Watch and the rotating lunette was top notch. Some things in Tizen were also handled better IMHO, but it's all about habit. After a few days so far they are exceeding my expectations.
Battery life relative to the OS
Clever use of the FSTN panel
Thanks to Wear OS 3.5, it can really handle a lot
The body function measurements seem to be OK and give appropriate readings
Somewhat unpolished app, slightly opaque and the data in it sometimes differs from the watch
Sometimes I find the Wear OS environment cluttered (switching from Samsung)

TicWatch is a great watch whose main characteristic is the ultra-low-power (ULP) display - or basically the display of classic (i.e. non-smart) digital watches. The digits on it are slightly less pronounced than on digital watches, but it's perfectly legible in normal light conditions both outdoors and indoors. When it's darker, it's harder to read, and in the evenings, when I'm not at home, I sometimes turn on the automatic backlight (which otherwise isn't needed at all). Underneath, of course, they have the classic AOD smart display.
For example. for cycling, the following tiles are displayed on the ULP display: total time, distance traveled, heart rate, speed, calories, [something I don't know what it means: -D], blood oxygenation, compass. At the same time, the current heart rate, clock and battery level are always displayed.
They have Wear OS, which means they can basically do the same thing as e.g. Galaxy Watch (native apps are totally cool). I could probably write a lot of things that are nice about them: colour resolution of the backlighting of the heart rate zones for sports - you need to have the "tilt-to-wake" backlighting on; essential mode with only ULP display, which the watch lasts maybe a month or more (untested) and which still measures steps, heart rate, etc. bodily functions; automatic detection of running (works fine after os update), maybe even cycling, but I haven't tried it there yet (it didn't detect it before os update).
Basically, 2 major things bother me about them:
1. quality of materials - for a lower price, many competitors provide titanium and sapphire glass. I'm sorry to hear that, because this watch is really nice and it's a shame that with my use of it in this condition, it probably won't last long.
2. Rolling crown (button) - under normal circumstances a great thing, which I use a lot, however when cycling (etc. ) with cycling gloves, the ULP display is basically unusable, because the gloves are constantly turning the wheel and therefore changing the preset scheme/tile (which is "locked", so the first few turns are always ignored to avoid accidental change of the displayed information - unfortunately this is not enough), so if I want to see e.g. speed, I'd just have to keep spinning the wheel from a random position. Unfortunately, due to the existence of the ULP display, which has a fixed scheme, the watch cannot be rotated (even with 3rd party apps) so that the buttons are on the opposite side.
I was actually still hesitant to return them, but unfortunately there is still no better alternative: -D
Knowing these two major shortcomings makes me all the more sorry that even the Samsung Galaxy Watch flagship (6) can't compare to this watch - simply because it doesn't last nearly a day under active use. I really don't want to wait for the "7 for classic" version anymore.
In terms of endurance, so far I haven't really given the watch a rest, I'm always setting something, playing with it, playing sports, so it normally lasts me from the morning until the next evening (minimum I managed one day of active use). Hopefully it'll get better once I calm down: -)
Great wear os watch with long lasting
Ultra-low-power display with useful information
Colour backlighting of heart rate zones during sports
Appearance
Battery life
Display size
Automatic sport detection (running, maybe cycling)
Relatively good GPS (except for one run in thicker woods in cloudy weather they measured well)
Quality of materials
The rolling crown has too little resistance (it rolls unintentionally).
24mm strap (this size is basically not sold, so it's hard to find a replacement)
ULP display cannot be adjusted
While the sleep measurement is relevant to some extent, it is definitely not 100% (some short awake times didn't register for me, others apparently registered extra). Estimate of 80% correct.
