I've worn the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic and Ticwatch Pro 5 over the past weeks. They're both great, but there's only one I'd actually buy.
After reviewing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, I decided to swap immediately to the Mobvoi Ticwatch Pro 5. The reason was simple: until the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic came along, the latest Ticwatch was my personal top Android smartwatch and the best performer you could get. I wanted to find out if could retain this title, as I’d really loved wearing the Watch 6 Classic.
Perhaps I’m too particular about wearables and straps, but I don’t think so, as when they’re well-designed, I have no problem with wearing them all the time. The Apple Watch Series 8 with the Sport Loop band is a good example, and the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic is another. I happily wore my Watch 6 Classic review model for the duration of my time with it and never had any need to take it off due to comfort issues.
Its ultra-fast, super smooth performance can put the Exynos W930 chip in the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic to shame at times. While it’s definitely not slow, it does stutter more than I think a smartwatch released today should, and it’s not quite as instantly reactive as the Ticwatch either. The Qualcomm chip gives the Ticwatch Pro 5 a fluidity I usually associate with the Apple Watch, and that’s very high praise indeed.
I have found I just use the touchscreen more on the Ticwatch Pro 5 as it tends to be faster, but I usually used the bezel on the Watch 6 Classic. There’s nothing wrong with Mobvoi’s rotating crown, which is accompanied by some pleasing haptic feedback, but I tend to only bother with it when I scroll through messages. The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic’s bezel is more generally useful.
