Ticwatch Sleep Tracking: What You Need To Know

Sleep tracking is an important feature for many smartwatch users, and the TicWatch by Mobvoi is no exception. While some users have reported issues with sleep tracking on the TicWatch, the company has made efforts to improve this feature, particularly with the release of the TicSleep app for the TicWatch Pro and Pro 4G/LTE models. The TicSleep app uses AI technology to automatically track sleep, providing insights into sleep cycles and heart rate to help users better understand their sleep patterns.

The TicSleep app

The TicWatch Pro's sensors provide insights into the user's sleep cycles and heart rate during sleep. The data gathered by the watch is available on both the TicSleep watch face and the TicSleep app on the user's phone or watch. The watch face view for the app allows users to review the previous night's sleep time and compare it with their weekly average.

Sleep tracking features

Sleep is an important part of our lives, and while there are many devices that can track our fitness and activity during the day, fewer devices focus on tracking our sleep. Mobvoi has introduced a new app for its Wear OS-powered smartwatch that focuses on sleep tracking. The TicSleep app is available on the Google Play Store and is designed to use the sensors within Mobvoi's smartwatches to automatically track sleep. The app uses AI to detect when the user has fallen asleep and then tracks their quality of sleep. The TicWatch Pro's sensors can give information about sleep cycles and heart rate during sleep. The watch face view for the app allows users to review the previous night's sleep time and compare that to their weekly average.

The TicSleep app also includes a "Smart Alarm" that uses the vibration motor to slowly wake the user when they are in a "state of light sleep". This feature is designed to help the user wake up more gently than a traditional alarm. The TicSleep app can be activated by downloading it from the Google Play Store. However, it should be noted that this feature is only available on the TicWatch Pro series as they are the only models with good enough battery life to handle it.

The TicSleep app is not the only way to track sleep on the TicWatch. The Sleep as Android app is also supported on the TicWatch if you have Google Play services. This app can be installed by going to the app list on the watch, selecting the Play Store, and scrolling past Recommended for you, Top Free Apps, etc., until you see "Apps on your phone".

While the TicWatch does have sleep-tracking features, it is important to note that some users have reported issues with the accuracy and consistency of the sleep tracking. Additionally, battery life may be a concern for some users, as the TicWatch Pro typically provides one to two days of use, which may not be sufficient for continuous wear throughout the night.

Sleep as Android

According to reviews, Sleep as Android is an excellent and advanced app for sleep management and alarm clock functions. It is praised for its ability to wake users up gently during light sleep, providing a natural and pleasant morning experience. The app is also appreciated for its privacy-first approach and the effectiveness of its CAPTCHA tasks in preventing accidental alarm dismissals.

Wear OS

The TicWatch Pro is a Wear OS smartwatch that can track your sleep. The TicSleep app, available on the Google Play Store, is designed to use the sensors within Mobvoi's smartwatches to automatically track sleep. The app uses AI to detect when the user has fallen asleep and then tracks their quality of sleep, including sleep cycles and heart rate. The data gathered can be viewed on the TicSleep watch face, as well as on the app on the user's phone. The TicSleep app also includes a "Smart Alarm" that uses subtle vibrations to wake the user up when they are in a light sleep phase.

Sleep tracking can help give a complete picture of your health, and knowing how to track sleep with Wear OS watches is a great place to start. Some of the best Android smartwatches offer built-in sleep tracking, but for those that don't, there are apps available, such as Sleep As Android, which has been around for a long time and is always improving and adding unique features.

The Fossil Gen 5E is another Wear OS smartwatch with built-in automatic sleep tracking. It offers good performance and design and size choices.

While Wear OS is not advancing much as a platform, companies like Fossil and Mobvoi are making progress with their hardware. The TicWatch Pro 3, for example, has been praised for its excellent battery life, which won't be drained by overnight sleep monitoring.

Smart Alarm

The TicWatch Pro and TicWatch Pro 4G/LTE have a "Smart Alarm" feature as part of their TicSleep app. This feature slowly wakes the user up with a gentle, customisable vibration when they are in a light sleep phase. This is designed to be a more pleasant way of waking up than a traditional alarm. The TicSleep app is available on the Google Play Store and can be activated by downloading it onto a Bluetooth or 4G/LTE TicWatch Pro.

The TicSleep app is designed to track sleep through the sensors on the TicWatch and offer insights on how to get better sleep. It uses AI to automatically detect when the user has fallen asleep and then tracks their quality of sleep, including their heart rate. The data gathered is available on the TicSleep watch face and the TicSleep app on the user's phone or watch.

The TicWatch Pro has an estimated battery life of between one and two days, which means it can get through the night if worn continuously, but this will need to be charged at some point the next day.
