Several TicWatch smartwatches are getting updated to Wear OS 3

Mobvoi, the company behind the TicWatch brand, has been rather slow in upgrading its smartwatches to Wear OS 3. Earlier this week, Mobvoi confirmed that several TicWatch models are eligible for the Wear OS 3 update, although no release date has been announced. mentioned.

The following older TicWatch smartwatches are about to receive their Wear OS 3 update: TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS, TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra, TicWatch Pro 3 GPS, TicWatch Pro 3 LTE, and TicWatch E3.

According to Mobvoi, to upgrade to Wear OS 3, your smartwatch must be running one of the current software versions: PMRB.220703.001, PMKB.211102.004, PMKB.211102.002, PMRL.220704.001.

Additionally, Android users should make sure they have the latest version of the Mobvoi Health app before upgrading to Wear OS 3. If you're having compatibility issues, it's probably because your phone does not support the application.

Another important thing to mention is that the update will perform a factory rest on your watch, which means you will lose all non-Tic third-party apps and the data on them.

However, all TicHealth, TicSleep and TicExercise data will remain securely stored and synced with the new companion app. Mobvoi says the sync process will be completed within a week of the update. Additionally, some apps like Mobvoi Voicememo and TicHearing will no longer be available after upgrading to Wear OS 3.

More importantly, Google Assistant will no longer be available after the upgrade, while Google Maps and Google Wallet will no longer be accessible to iOS users after the update.
