Below is a look at all the new sleep-tracking features that Mobvoi is introducing behind a subscription model:
These new sleep features are only available on TicWatches and the Mobvoi app. You cannot access these new metrics in any other app.
It is clear that Mobvoi is following in the footsteps of Fitbit here. The latter has locked its advanced sleep analysis and workout sessions behind a Fitbit Premium subscription, which costs $10/month. Even on the $349 Pixel Watch, you must subscribe to Fitbit Premium to access these features, though Google does bundle a 6-month trial with the watch.
Unlike Fitbit, Mobvoi is not offering workout guides as a part of its subscription package, which could explain its lower price point. Interestingly, the company continues to remainsilent on the Wear OS 3 upgrade for its TicWatch lineup, angering its user base.
