# Power-Saving Transparent Watches The Mobvoi TicWatch Pro Uses a Clever Mechanism to Save Battery By Joey Haar | Published 2018-05-24 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ticwatch-pro References: [theverge](https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/5/24/17386374/ticwatch-pro-second-display-mobvoi-wear-os) & [mobvoi](https://www.mobvoi.com/us/pages/ticwatchpro?ranMID=43206&ranEAID=TnL5HPStwNw&ranSiteID=TnL5HPStwNw-EJYh.YntOP3hNfj6QChVQQ) There's no way around the daily charging of smartphones, as those devices simply draw too much power to be able to function for much longer than a day at a time (especially for heavy users), so the TicWatch Pro from Mobvoi is aiming to reduce the amount of charging for another device. The smartwatch uses a clever display layout to draw far less power than competitors, allowing to to run for longer on a single charge. The trick with the TicWatch Pro is that it makes use of two screens. While one might think that two screens would lead to more powering being used, the opposite is in fact true. The outermost screen is actually a transparent FSTN LCD display, like the kind used on cheap digital watches. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Power-saving Displays:** The use of innovative display technologies to reduce power consumption opens up opportunities for longer battery life in various devices. - **Dual-screen Design:** The implementation of dual-screen designs in consumer electronics can optimize power efficiency and enhance user experience. - **Energy-efficient Wearables:** The development of energy-efficient wearable technologies offers extended battery life and improved usability for users on the go. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** Incorporating power-saving displays and dual-screen designs in consumer electronics presents opportunities for increased efficiency and innovation. - **Wearable Technology:** The advent of energy-efficient wearables creates disruptive innovation opportunities in the rapidly growing wearable technology industry. - **Smartwatch Manufacturing:** Leveraging power-saving transparent displays in smartwatches enables manufacturers to offer longer battery life and differentiate their products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sports-Focused Stealthy Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enduro-version.md) - [Fast-Charging Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixel-watch-smartwatch.md) - [Efficient Productivity Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oneplus-watch-2.md) - [E-Paper Display Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/core-smartwatches.md) - [Low-Cost Feature-Packed Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cmf-watch-pro.md) - [High-Power Rugged Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ticwatch-pro-5.md) - [Hybrid Low-Power Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ksana.md) - [Predictive AI Smartwatch Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/withings-scanwatch-2.md) - [Recycled Aluminum Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-pixel-watch-3.md)
