Mobvoi TicWatch GTH Pro with arterial heart health, SpO2 tracking, and 5ATM water resistance announced

Mobvoi has added a new fitness tracker to its wearable portfolio named TicWatch GTH Pro. This comes as an upgrade to the standard GTH model that’s currently available in India. However, note that the newcomer is announced for the US market at the moment. That said, what makes it a headline is its novel way of measuring heart health. Christened “Arty Heart Health”, this new platform within the TicWatch GTH Pro tracks arterial waveforms based on pulse strength through fingertips. So, one of the watch’s dual PPG sensors do this, and the other one senses through the wrist like most other trackers of its ilk.

There are other usual sensors for SpO2, sleep, fitness activities, and among other things, 5ATM ingress protection too. Let’s hover over the complete deets now.

Mobvoi TicWatch GTH Pro Specs and Features

Mobvoi has partnered with Cardie X, a global health tech company to make the TicWatch GTH Pro. The watch has got two PPG sensors for tracking your heart health. One of them takes the traditional route through your wrist while the other one lies on the side of the watch. You place your fingertip on it and it supposedly has better look at the blood movements without the distractions of the bones, muscles, and tendons within the wrist area. This flanking optical sensor is powered by the proprietary SphygmoCor technology from ATCOR, a global standard and FDA cleared tech for clinical trials and research.

Having said that, note there is no FDA clearance for the watch itself. So, while it claims to scan arterial and heart rate, the readings might not be medically accurate. This scepticism extends to the Arty Score, personal recommendations the watch gives the user for better health habits. 

Anyways, the TicWatch GTH Pro is also stuffed with a SpO2 logger, body temperature analyzer, sleep measurement, option to track 14 activities, notification syncing with the phone, and timepiece features like alarms. The watch is also 5ATM rated against water ingress. The underlying operating system is RTOS and the connectivity option is Bluetooth 5.1.

Mobvoi claims up to ten days of use from a single charge and it takes 2 hours to top it up.
