There are many smart watches that want to position themselves as an alternative to Apple Watch for users with Android phones, and it is not surprising because at the end of the day it is one of the most dynamic, growing markets with unleashed competition.
Of the many options out there, we particularly like one: the TicWatch Pro 5, which we have tested thoroughly and which we highly recommend, especially because uses Wear OS as the operating system, it is incredibly accurate when measuring sports data and now it is much cheaper than before.
It has now cost 269 euros on Amazon, the same price it had during the week of Black Friday, in which it became one of the best-selling smartwatches in this store, and it is not surprising at all.
The price is much lower than usual and affects the two colors in which it is available, both with exactly the same characteristics and sales conditions.
As is usually the case with this type of orders that exceed 35 euros, shipping is completely free whether you have a Prime account or not. If you have it, your order will arrive much faster, in just one day.
Two screens, hundreds of applications and GPS
That it uses Wear OS is no small matter, and it is Google’s OS, so the repertoire of third-party applications that you will have on your smartwatch has absolutely nothing to do with what the brands’ OS offer.
For example, You will have Gmail, Google Maps, Spotify or Strava, among others, but also Google Fit and real-time notifications from applications such as WhatsApp, voice calls directly on the watch and much more. That is why it has little to envy even the top watches, such as the Apple Watch.
A novel detail that gives it a touch of quality is that it has not one but two screens. The AMOLED is the one used when you interact with its operating system, open applications or check notifications. The other is similar to electronic ink screens and is designed to save battery life as much as possible when you are not interacting with the watch.
As we have been able to verify, with normal use it runs around four or five days of battery life, which is not bad at all and far exceeds almost all of its competitors.
