= Description =<br />
This watch is sold in several variations:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|+ rubyfish models and model numbers<br />
|-<br />
! Model Number !! Model Name !! Codename<br />
|-<br />
| WH12018 || TicWatch Pro || rubyfish<br />
|-<br />
| WH12018 || TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS || rubyfish<br />
|-<br />
| WH11013 || TicWatch Pro 3 Cellular/LTE || rover<br />
|-<br />
| WH11013 || TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra || rover<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Although there are variations in the physical size and appearance of these watches, all models use the same <code>rubyfish</code> AsteroidOS image.<br />
<br />
<br />
Attention: If you already upgraded to Wear OS 3.5, perform a downgrade back to a WearOS version prior to WearOS 3.5. Otherwise your Ticwatch Pro 3 will most likely be stuck in a bootloop. The problematic bootloader version is rubyfish-06.02.06.04.08. For further help, join the Matrix chat for advice.<br />

== Developer Dock ==<br />
You will need to build a dock to access the USB pads since the stock cable does not connect to the inner D+ / D- data pads. This one has been developed by the community and tested working multiple times now:<br />

<br />
The specs for the pogo-pins used in the dock assembly:<br />
[[File:Rover-pogopins.webp|none|thumb]]<br />
Remember to first solder the pogo-pins to the USB-cable:[[File:Rover-dock-pogo.jpg|none|thumb]]<br />
Then use a 1.5mm drill bit to widen the channels in the 3D Print and insert the pogo-pin assembly.<br />
<br />
You can be lucky and your 3D printer produces the channels with 1.5mm. The model has them at 1.56mm.<br />
<br />
Users report however, that even with well calibrated printers, its hard to get those exact. <br />

<br />
In case the pogo-pins do not stick out far enough to make connection with the watches pads after inserting them: Adjust the soldering iron to 150′C and gently press them deeper, melting them into the plastic. <br />
<br />
If they are protruding too much and push the watch off the dock: Use gel-or hot-glue to adjust their height and fix them into position. Avoid using thin/liquid glue as it can run down the channels and glue the pogo- pin springs.</div>Avm1992
