Honor Watch 6: GPS, 120+ sports modes and 35-day battery

Good news for all fans of modern gadgets: the Honor brand has officially announced the global release of its new Watch 6 smartwatch. The model is a direct successor to the legendary Watch 5, which debuted on the market two years ago. The global release promises to strengthen the brand’s position in the niche of reliable and durable devices for everyday health monitoring and effective sports training.

Design and materials

The novelty is designed with an emphasis on high wear resistance and style. Honor Watch 6 is offered to buyers in two classic colors – black and brown. The strong body of the smart device with a diameter of 46.5 mm is made of recycled aluminum alloy, and the massive protective bezel is made of stainless steel of the elite brand 316L.

With a solid arsenal of hardware capabilities, the thickness of the device is only 10.8 mm with a moderate weight of about 50 grams, which provides an exceptional level of comfort during training or everyday wear.

Technical specifications

The front of the wearable gadget flaunts a bright and detailed 1.46-inch AMOLED display with an optimal resolution of 464 × 464 pixels and a pixel density of 317 PPI. The real breakthrough was the record peak brightness of 3,000 nits – the dials are perfectly visible even when direct, bright rays of the sun fall.

The novelty is distinguished by an excellent balance of sensors and reliable positioning:

• Dual-band multi-system GPS chip (high-precision AccuTrack dual-band six-star GPS navigation);
• Constant tracking of heart rate parameters, monitoring of blood oxygen levels, stress indices and detailed recognition of sleep patterns;
• The sports section includes more than 120 built-in professional and amateur sports modes, from cross-country to game sports such as football or badminton.

Remarkable autonomy and communication capabilities

A stunning 980 mAh battery guarantees users incredibly long life from a single charge cycle. The manufacturer claims that this device is ready to provide up to 35 days of autonomous operation – an unprecedented indicator for the flagship segment with a bright display.

As for wireless functionality and additional technological solutions, the novelty can surprise with the following set:

• Quality built-in speakers and microphones for convenient reception and making of voice calls via Bluetooth connection;
• A powerful 4GB memory that easily fits music albums for phone-free workouts;
• Integrated NFC payment system for instant contactless payment of services;
• Dust and moisture protection of the strictest modern IP69 protection class.

Release date and price

The smart watch is already officially launched for global sale. For potential buyers in the European space, the brand has established the following price boundaries: for a classic device of a black shade, you will have to pay 250 euros, while the purchase of a gadget with a brown design will require 270 euros.
