Mobvoi Ticwatch Atlas is a Wear OS competing watch from Garmin that I’m really excited about

I love adventure watches, from analogue Casio G-Shocks to the Apple Watch Ultra to Garmin’s Instinct and Fenix ​​range. However, there hasn’t really been one of the best Android smartwatches in this space: the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro exist, but they use Wear OS filtered through Samsung’s One UI Watch 6 interface.

Now Mobvoi’s latest TicWatch, the Mobvoi TicWatch Atlas, looks like a rugged adventure watch designed to challenge Garmin and the Ultras, and it runs on Wear OS. This means it could be a natural choice for users of the best Android phones looking for a sturdy, durable watch to accompany them on hikes, trail runs, and all sorts of other outdoor adventures.
