When you look at the current landscape of Wear OS 3 smartwatches, there aren't very many options out there. That's not really too much of an issue when you consider how popular the Galaxy Watch 4 and 5 have been. But "back in the day" of Wear OS 2, we definitely had a lot more options, and Mobvoi did a pretty good job at providing some stiff competition.
Add in the fact that the Snapdragon W5+ was announced midway through 2022, aiming to solve many of the performance woes of the previous platform, and we thought a new TicWatch would be a slam dunk. However, the end of 2022 rolled around, and while Mobvoi was confirmed as the first company to use this chip, there was no sight of a new wearable.
