There was an interesting post here showing Mobvoi apps are in every Fossil watch and you can find it hidden in apps settings.
Now itโs gone, I canโt comment, I cant see it again.
Why ?
I recently bought a TWP3 for myself and a GTH for my wife. We have identical phones and I've installed the same Mobvoi app on both phones. I was able to go into my profile in the app on my phone and link it with Google Fit. When I try to authorize my wife's Mobvoi Fit app to connect with Google Fit, Google puts up a big warning that the app tried to access sensitive data and the request has been blocked.
Anyone know what gives? Is there something I need to do in her Google Account that will allow me to authorize Mobvoi Fit to feed Google Fit?
So strange that the app works fine on my phone. I can't imagine the difference between the devices is causing this.
Thanks!
Update: Someone else just posted in r/mobvoi - https://www.reddit.com/r/mobvoi/comments/mwsmqn/mobvoi_fit_app_is_being_blocked_by_google_as_it/
UPDATE: I just heard from them:
"Hello, because of some problems with the server, Google fit cannot be bound at the moment, we are urgently solving it, please wait patiently"
UPDATE: I returned both watches. I selected "Website misinformation" as the reason for the return and the following as additional details:
"Mobvoi has been banned from connecting to Google making their watches incompatible with Google Fit and basically useless. Item description should be updated and watches delisted."
I bought my Ticwatch a week ago and it's been working great. I have been unable to connect the Mobvoi app on my phone with Google Fit and I know this is a problem that has been going on for a while - but I'm wondering just how long it's been going on. Comments on here from people who have been in contact with the company say that they are 'working on it' - but how long has all of this been happening for? I'm just wondering if a solution is likely here or if I should be thinking about returning my watch and buying something else to replace my Fossil Gen 5.
Anyone here when Google and Mobvoi will play nice and be able to sync data? Sleep data does not go the Google Fit and it would be nice to see it happen.
Hi,
I was trying to reauthorize my TicHealth (Mobvoi Fit) App to Google Fit as the data was not syncing for a long time and encountered a nice error message:
https://preview.redd.it/rnwkj0qglwu61.png?width=692&format=png&auto=webp&s=7b70431e5c6d4a5be61eacb86087c984d779f01f
From german: "This App tried to acces private data from your Google account. To protect your account we blocked this app from accessing it."
I can not click on anything like "continue anyway" or unblock anything from my Google-account security settings.
What happened here? I tried with several different accounts.
Does anyone face the same error message?
Ordered a watch 23 of april from the mobvoi website, the site stated that it would take about 2 to 5 bussines days to ship, the same day i got the tracking code and started monitoring to make sure i was home for delivery.
After 3 days it still stated that mobvoi didn't hand over the package, contacted mobvoi support about this and the same day they finally handed the package over for shipping and sent me an email to apologize.
After monitoring the tracker again for 3 days nothing was changing once again. Contacted the shipping company.. and they told me that the package never made it to one of their parcel centers and that i should contact mobvoi.
Emailed mobvoi support to ask if they were going to try and deliver within the next few days or cancel my order...It has been more then a week now and they just don't answer on emails and their forum is basicly redacted to the point that only spam gets archived and, no user messages get posted.
i've mailed them once again today to inform them that if they do not reply by friday that i will contact mastercard for a chargeback.
Still hoping for mobvoi support to email back with a good explanation but i'm starting to believe that they don't really care about customers, just take the money and if the watches don't arrive just hope they don't ask for their money back.
I'll keep this thread updated for people who are thinking about ordering from their website directly instead of using other vendors or people who are wondering how their customer support is. I can only hope that mobvoi will start doing their job and if not that readers know what adventures come with using their services.
update.
After several days they sent me a general apology mail with a bunch of promises without giving any timeset, so basicly nothing.. I responded immediatly on the mail telling them once again that they did not give me any usefull information or a promise to deliver within a certain time. In the mail i reminded them once again that i expected them to deliver by friday "today" or not bother at all and cancel the order.
Gues what.. Once again today a default mail with no usefull info, no indication that they are going to do anything about the situation besides telling me that after more then a week they are still "investigating" the order and no cancellation of the order. This company truly is terrible, they just keep finding excuses..
At the moment i can only give the advice to make sure to read what you need to present
... keep reading on reddit โกSo the watch I selected was the ticwatch pro 3 LTE because with the discount on it it costs basically the same as the GPS model. Then I remembered "right shipping". So what I want to know is if I order from the mobvoi website to Hungary will they ship it from the USA to Hungary? Because if yes then I will have to pay huge amount of taxes a d that's not worth it.
No idea how I did it, but I significantly cracked the glass on my TW3 Pro this weekend. Doesn't look like the screen underneath is messed up, just the glass. Wondering if anyone has tried to get their TW repaired from Mobvoi and can share their experiences. If it's going to cost $200 or whatever, I'll just keep it as is and use it for a beater until it dies.....
Edit: I just ordered my first TicWatch ever, thanks for the information
Just had the GTH delivered. Been to the gym this morning so used my twp for the workout.
I've just setup the GTH and firstly it said 9 steps, even though the twp and the health app say 4000+
And now, it says "1: Steps" ...
Do they not sync between each other ? My plan was to use the GTH to sleep and workout in, and then when I'm home/at work use the twp.
When I charge the phone or it's off my wrist for a while, the watchface I chose is replaced by this generic blue face with large white numbers. It changes practically every time I charge it. It appears to be resetting to the Steel Blue watchface. How do I get this to stop?
WearOS 2.26 Watch OS H MR1 Watchmaker version 7.0.4
This is a simple and user-friendly health and fitness watch that may be ideal for specific uses and user segments, such as senior users. I have been using it with an Android phone.
The watch looks neat, is well-designed and well-built. It is very light, and fits securely and comfortably on the wrist. The smaller size makes it very easy to wear during your sleep. The touch screen is smooth and responsive. You can customise the watch face by picking a predesigned face or by designing a face on your phone from the Mobvoi app.
Weather info accessed by swiping the screen
Simplicity and autonomy are the keywords when it comes to using the watch.
Simplicity because this watch provides you are enclosed in the functionalities provided by Mobvoi (you don't have access to Google Play). The functionalities are divided into 9 categories: 1) Notifications (the GTH watch can receive notifications from your phone apps) 2) TicExercise functionalities (14 different types of exercise, such as yoga, rope-skipping, rowing, etc) 3) TicHealth functionalities that track 6 different health metrics, 4) TicSleep 5) Timer 6) Stopwatch 7) Weather 8) Music Control 9) Settings.
Autonomy because this watch reduces the number of things you need to remember to do. It detects exercise automatically, for one. And it is designed to function for several days on a single battery charge (over a week, depending on usage intensity.) The charger cable is specific to the phone, however.
To be clear; this is a fitness and health tracking watch, not a smartwatch. It will continuously measure variations in skin temperature, blood oxygen levels, heart rate, respiration rate, and sleep quality. Because it is so straightforward and simple to use, it may be ideal for senior users interested in tracking their health and measuring their fitness efforts.
Overall, this little watch brings a lot of simplicity to fitness and

This watch is my first experience with a smartwatch and here are my impressions after about a month of use:
- The watch is comfortable to wear, very light, and I can wear it without feeling discomfort while sleeping (useful for measuring sleep; and measuring sleep is useful when you want to manage it better).
- The watch is beautiful and its appearance can be personalised. I'm sticking to a simple, easy-to-read look for now (see photo).
- Battery life is good thanks to the clever dual screen, although you should remember to have the specific charging cable with you to do so.
- The watch runs on WearOS and works smoothly.
- My goal with this watch was to track my health and activity (last year has made me realise how easy it is to get out of shape). The Mobvoi app, which comes preloaded on the watch, conveniently aggregates several metrics, and that's what I've been using so far. I spend most of my day at my home office and take breaks to work outside (chopping wood), plus strength training; I aim to do more walking and running. The first group of activities falls into the "freestyle" category from the application's point of view. Thanks to the watch, I have an overview of my energy consumption (via heart rate measurement, I believe).
- Very useful are the email notifications, and the ability to check them on the wrist. It is possible to take calls with the watch, but it is better to wear earphones for this in my experience.
- Other handy features are the light and the voice recorder. I have used the voice recorder function while wearing earphones and I can see this becoming a very useful tool for capturing ideas that come to mind when I am working outside, to keep later when I return to my desk.
Hello All
So I had my Gestures for just over a week. So my review is a short comparison on a limited use case. Luckily for my job I can use headphones while I work, so I listen to music or podcasts anywhere up to 5 or 6 hours a day. I have always used bluetooth headphones at work for the last 13 years from Sony bluetooth wired headphones, to bluetooth adapter to wired headphones and then finally wired AKG from Samsung for year till the Galaxy Buds came out in 2019. I have used the Buds since release, I have had the Buds Live since release too but they are hardly used due to the design rather than the better quality sound over the Buds. The design make it hard to put in and out the ears quickly without dropping them so I use the Buds.
Well having used in ear wireless bud for years and for a long period of time day after day i have gotten used to certain features and uses to my repeated pattern. The Gestures are nearly half the price of the Buds Iโm used to so I had to change my expectations alittle. But saying that it's the added convenience and not the overall quality Iโm missing out on.
Quick comparison but you have to remember the Gestures are nearly half the price.
Hardware: gesture control, form factor, case size, battery size, both USBC but Buds are Qi charging. Software: Buds are more customizable, and offer more software side options. Both have an App the integrates their products into one App.
I have the Samsung Note 20 Ultra and connection was quick and seamless with a voice acknowledging paining mode. I already had the Mobvoi app as I have the Ticwatch Pro 3 LTE so just added the Gestures from the list. The first thing I did was put Gesture in one ear and my Galaxy Bud in the other ear and listen to both at the same time. The sound was on par with each other but I feel the Buds did a little better with the lows. I mostly listen to hip hop and Rap so my samsung EQ is set for that.
As for controlling the music I have two options but wish for some improvement with software to map a better option. So I can use my watch to change track or tap on the earbuds, I wish the touch controls could be changed so the โNextโ track could be Double click instead. That is the only thing about the sound, quality, and use of the earbuds. I have yet to charge the case as I havnt managed to drain the battery completely.
I used the Gestures at work for a week and can say the quality of the music and clearness of the voice was on par with my Buds minus the conve
... keep reading on reddit โกSo I've got a TicWatch Pro 3 GPS. Is there any compelling reason to buy the Mobvoi buds in conjunction to the watch? I know that they're not overly pricey, but I'm curious if there are any really must have options that are available that might come into play since I've got the watch already. Or would I just be adding to my collection of wireless earbuds?
I just got a set of wireless bluetooth Mobvoi Earbuds Gesture for use with my Android Pixel 4a 5G and TicWatch Pro 3 GPS watch (I just did a review of the watch in the WearOS sub-reddit community) and Iโve been using them daily for the past 2 weeks. I had the opportunity to use them for a few days before using them during a 3-day, 30-hour drive. Iโd like to share my impressions for both stages of my usage to date.
First impressions during the first few days:
Fit: they came with 2 sets of silicone eartips (see my photo following). I tried the small eartips during an outside walk and they kept sliding from my ears. With the larger eartips I have to twist them into my ears to keep them lodged with walking, spinning, or driving. It feels like the eartips are a bit too close to the main body of the Earbuds (see how close the eartips are in my photo). Once twisted into my ear they stay through most of my aggressive workout & life activities. I think either an intermediate size eartip or more distance between the eartip and earbuds body would work for more ear sizes.
Earbuds Gesture - 2 silicone tip sizes
Functionality: There is a touch bar on the top portion of the Earbuds stem. It is a small area and somewhat sensitive to touch (you do get used to it, but have patience). Tap twice to stop or start your media. You will hear a double beep when it has accepted your command and there is a 1-2 second delay between tap and beeps. The โGesturesโ portion works nicely. You nod twice to accept calls and you shake your head twice to reject. I found that it worked under most conditions even when moving around during exercise.
Connectivity using bluetooth. I have connected them to my TWP3GPS, Pixel 4a 5G, MacBook Pro, & iPad mini. They pair and connect immediately as long as I have โdisconnectedโ them from the previous device. Once connected the functionality works the same on each device, regardless of OS type.
Volume/Loudness: regardless of device type, the loudness is excellent and the amount of volume control range is pretty wide to allow hearing your music, movie, or audiobook when there is high ambient background noise.
3-day, 30-hour drive:
Battery: I used the Earbuds Gesture to listen to audiobooks while I drove during my sojourn. I would drive for 3-4 hours during each leg and the Earbuds never lost power. I would put
