Mobvoi has teased the launch of a new device for March 1st. It will be called TicWatch X Arty and will provide personalised insights into arterial and heart health of the wearer.

The poster promoting the device reveals little info. The picture in the background hints that this will be a square-ish looking watch, similar to TicWatch GTH. That one has been around since last Spring. It offers the standard set of fitness sensors in addition to the less commonly found temperature feature that works 24/7.

As far as specs, we refer to the folks over at XDA Developers. They dug up some interesting information a few months ago by looking into the APK of version 4.3.0 of the Mobvoi app. This revealed that Mobvoi is working on a plethora of advanced heart rate measurement features.

All the info gathered from the sensors is aggregated in something the company refers to as an Arty score. The idea is to dish out a single metric that quantifies your unique cardiovascular risk profile. This is on a scale between 0 and 100 – and is definitely something we have not seen before.

The feature looks to be quite advanced. The Arty Score integrates several different measurements including:

• The biological age of your heart (“ArtyAge”, or “Arterial Age”)
• Your heart’s ability to provide oxygenated blood to cells based on the body’s performance demands (“eCAP”, or “Exercise Capacity”)
• The load on the heart due to the hardening of arteries (“HSX”).

What’s more, the heart rate measurements are said to be more accurate than on a standard wearable. Apparently, they are medical grade, i.e. as good as those derived by standard ECG-based methods (“TruHR”). Users are also provided with insights to help improve their heart health.

The new functionality, most likely, comes courtesy of Mobvoi’s recent partnership with Australian-based AtCor Medical Inc, a subsidiary of CardieX. These new features will reportedly live in a separate app from the one currently utilised by Mobvoi’s wearables.




By the looks of things, these features (or something similar) will be coming to TicWatch X Arty. XDA Developers also spotted in the code references to TicWatch GTH PRO, TicWatch Pro Ultra GPS and TicWatch GTH Plus. However we’ve not heard anything since about any of these devices. It is possible Mobvoi has decided to launch the new watch under an entirely different name – the TicWatch X Arty. We shall find out on March 1st!
