How to Connect TicWatch Pro 5 to Your iPhone.
Yes. The TicWatch Pro 5 works with iPhone. Mobvoi never built an iOS app, so pair it with Lynio instead and you get calls, notifications, contacts and health sync in about 3 minutes. See how
The battery watch: two screens stacked on top of each other, a 628mAh cell, and up to 80 hours between charges.
About the TicWatch Pro 5
Released May 2023 at $349, and nothing since has copied its main idea properly. The bottom layer is a normal 1.43in AMOLED. Sitting physically on top of it is an ultra-low-power monochrome panel with a coloured backlight. When the watch is idle the AMOLED switches off entirely and you read the time, steps, heart rate and battery off the top layer, which costs almost nothing to run. Raise your wrist and the AMOLED lights up through it. That is how a watch reaches 80 hours in normal use and a claimed 45 days in Essential mode.
Two things to know before buying. No LTE version was ever made, so the watch is always tethered to your phone for connectivity. And it stopped at Wear OS 4, received September 2024, with no Wear OS 5 or 6 since. Mobvoi pulled TicWatch listings from its US store and Amazon in December 2025 and said only that existing devices would keep receiving essential support. Treat the Pro 5 as a finished product: what it does now is what it will do.
The Pro 5 Enduro, added May 2024 at the same price, swaps Gorilla Glass for sapphire, trims 0.25mm off the thickness and raises the battery claim to 90 hours. Everything inside is identical.

Connect in 3 Steps
Install Lynio Watch on your TicWatch Pro 5
From the Play Store on the watch. If Google sign-in will not work there, Lynio sends the app across as a signed bundle over Wi-Fi instead.
Follow the in-app pairing guide
Keep both on the same Wi-Fi, Bluetooth on, and leave the app open until pairing finishes.
What You Get After Pairing
| Works | Does not carry over |
|---|---|
| Notifications from your iPhone | The Mobvoi Health phone app and its history |
| Calls, made and answered from the wrist | Google Wallet payments from the wrist |
| Contacts synced from the iPhone | Google Assistant, which this watch never had |
| Music playback control | |
| Workouts and health data written to Apple Health | |
| Both displays, Essential mode, GPS, every on-watch sensor |
The dual-display system, Essential mode and the battery life are all watch-side. None of them depend on which phone is at the other end, so the reason you bought this watch is the part you keep.
