Mobvoi has recently introduced the TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro smartwatch. This model is an enhanced version of the TicWatch Pro 5, which was released in May 2023. Notably, several of the new features found in the TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro are also available in the Galaxy Watch 6.
This similarity in features allows the TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro to more effectively compete with Samsung’s newest smartwatch.
The TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro introduces five improvements compared to the TicWatch 5 Pro.
Firstly, it uses sapphire crystal for the screen protection, replacing the Gorilla Glass used in the earlier model. The Galaxy Watch 6 also uses this material. This change should enhance scratch resistance.
Secondly, the TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro features stronger bezels, which makes the watch more durable.
Thirdly, it includes a newly designed rotating crown that is larger. Mobvoi claims this design will provide “effortless navigation.”
Fourth, the TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro is thinner than the TicWatch Pro 5, measuring 11.95mm compared to 12.2mm. Although it’s not as thin as the Galaxy Watch 6, which is only 9mm thick, this slight reduction is notable since it includes a large 628mAh battery.
Fifth, the new watch features a ‘Fluororubber’ band, expected to feel similar to the Sport band on the Galaxy Watch 6. However, the TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro still uses Wear OS 3.
Despite these enhancements, the TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro is priced the same as the TicWatch Pro 5, at USD 349. This makes it USD 20 more expensive than the Galaxy Watch 6.
If you’re searching for a Mother’s Day gift and can’t decide, Samsung might have the perfect solution. The company is offering a Mother’s Day Special where if you buy a Galaxy Watch 6, you receive a second one for free.
That’s correct! During this special offer for Mother’s Day, purchasing one Galaxy Watch 6 lets you get another one at no additional cost. This deal allows you to get a new Samsung smartwatch for someone special and one for yourself without paying more.
How the BOGO (Buy One Get One) offer works:
This Mother’s Day promotion is only valid for purchases of the Galaxy Watch 6, not the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. However, it’s important to mention that the Classic model is currently available at a discount of up to $80.
Regarding the BOGO deal, when you buy a 40mm or 44mm Galaxy Watch 6, with or without LTE, you can get a 40mm or 44mm Galaxy Watch 6 for free. However, there is a catch.
Specifically, you cannot choose the 44mm Wi-Fi-only model as your free option. Your choices are either the 40mm model with Wi-Fi or LTE, or the 44mm model with LTE. Still, it’s an excellent deal, and such offers don’t come around often.
If you’re interested in this Mother’s Day Special deal, click the buy button below and go to the “Limited time bundle offers” section on the Watch 6 purchase page. Make sure to select the $0 Galaxy Watch 6 to receive your second watch for free.
Additionally, there are two other bundle deals available for the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and Buds FE earbuds. But remember, you can only use one bundle offer at a time, and the free Galaxy Watch 6 offers the best value.
What we think?
I think the TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro will attract people who want a durable and slightly cheaper smartwatch compared to the Galaxy Watch 6. The new features like the scratch-resistant screen and larger battery are great.
However, Samsung’s Mother’s Day BOGO deal on the Galaxy Watch 6 might pull customers away because it’s such a good offer. People love getting more value, so that deal is really tempting.
