Mobvoi has introduced its latest smartwatch, the TicWatch Atlas, designed for adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts. With a rugged build and advanced features, the Atlas positions itself as an affordable competitor to theApple Watch Ultra 2andGarmin Fenix 8.

The Atlas comes equipped with Heat Map tracking, which, similar to Strava’s Heat Map feature, allows you to visualise your activity hotspots and get detailed insights on duration, distance, and calories burned.

To bring theoutdoor watchup to speed with the competition, Mobvoi added Fall Detection and Emergency SOS features, which trigger automatic alerts to emergency services or contacts in case of an accident.

Designed with a focus on health and performance, the Atlas includes 24/7 heart rate monitoring, SpO2 tracking, sleep analysis (complete with snore detection), and stress management tools.
