1st question

Have you found a decent quality PDF manual for the Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS?

Never bothered with a manual, just pressed buttons until it did what I wanted...

There is some info on the Mobvoi forums but don't bother asking a question, by the time the mods have approved your post the watch will be obsolete

Obviously I'm a mans man and I never read manuals but I like to save them to my hard drive for when I need to look in 3 years time and go "Oh bloody hell".

I didn't even know you installed apps on them so it will be a baptism of fire

You are just as well to Google a guide on Wear OS. Which should give general help on how the OS works.

I've ordered myself a Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 but reading all these comments about the Ticwatch and checking the specs i'm like hmmm that's nice! Sometimes I hate my magpie tech tendencies!

It turns out my Ticwatch 3 pro was (cough) lost in the post(cough)

The guy is sending me a new one.

SexyGreyFox · 6 May 2021 at 12:14

I'm a bit pee'd off.
Told Amazon to deliver the Ticwatch Pro 3 today because I'm off work and just had an update it will be here between 4:45pm to 7:30pm .
What makes it worse is I'm going to be out of the house from 4:15pm to be fitted for my Wedding Suit for one of my daughters.
Hope my Ring doorbell works.

Does anyone have the Citizen CZ? thinking of getting one to go with my S21 as it looks quite like a real watch but smart.

SexyGreyFox · 6 May 2021 at 23:35

I've only had the Ticwatch Pro 3 for a couple of hours but it's excellent up to yet.
Thanks @mrgubby for those probing questions that made me think again.

Connected my fully updated Ticwatch Pro 3 LTE to Vodafone UK...

And Google have broken voice controlled dialling

"Call Jeff"

watch has a think...

"Sorry, I can't do that anymore"

All navigate requests also result in a black screen as well

Anybody with Wear OS:

I'm after a calendar where I can see my stuff rather like the one linked - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ztoapps.calendarwear.demo&hl=en
however that one is incompatible with my watch.
Any ides?

Never really bothered with a calendar app, would the agenda tile be any good ?

It shows stuff for that day & if you touch the screen it does a list of events for the week

I want something like this where I can see all dates in a scroll bar, this one isn't compatible with my watch -

Just had my watch delivered.

Going to put the screen protector on and charge it before setting it up.

Anyone actually use Tichealth over GFit?

I haven't got that far in to setting it up.
But from the T&C(which are very long) I will stick to google.

I'm already missing the rotating button on my old watch

Not using tickwatch launcher as well.

SexyGreyFox · 8 May 2021 at 11:14

Ah well, since I can't find a decent calendar for WearOS where I can see all dates in a row I've added about 20 band gigs, both my daughters weddings and several health appointments to a Note in Keep Note.
I've now assigned the Ticwatch Pro 3 bottom button to Keep Notes.

There is a calendar for wear https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ztoapps.calendarwear&hl=en&gl=US
It shows up on google play store.

I can't get the heart beat app to take a reading when I need to for testing.

Edit= You hve to turn off back ground heart monitor first.
