In our tests so far, no other smartwatch with Google’s WearOS has lasted as long as the TicWatch Pro 3 GPS. While 3 days are still not much, this is considerably longer than the typical WearOS maximum battery life of about 1.5 to 2 days. If you use the TicWatch less intensely or deactivate some functions such as the regular measurement of the heart rate, the battery life lasts longer, while workouts with GPS will shorten it.
The decision for the FSTN LCD instead of the AMOLED does not add days, but only a few hours up to about half a day, depending on your usage. For comparison: during average usage with an illumination duration of 10 s (default: 5 s) and always-on display, regular measurements of the heart rate and nightly wearing, the battery dropped to 70% in 24 hours with the power-saving display, and with the OLED in the always-on mode to 65%.
We credit the battery life, which is long for a WearOS smartwatch, mainly to the battery that has a capacity rated at 595 mAh. For comparison, the TicWatch Pro 2020 had 415 mAh, the TicWatch C2+ 400 mAh, the Moto 360 (2020) 355 mAh, and the Oppo Watch even only 300 mAh, which is barely half.
Considering this situation, it is not possible to clearly determine whether the new SoC also has a part in this. According to Qualcomm, it consumes about a quarter less power compared to its predecessor.
In Essential Mode with the FSTN LCD and without the smart functions, it runs up to 45 days according to the manufacturer. You can activate the Essential Mode any time and deactivate it later. It then goes back into the Smart Mode with a restart.
The charging process takes about 2 hours.
