HONOR has introduced the Watch 6 in Europe, featuring a 35-day battery life and over 120 fitness modes, targeting users seeking long-lasting smartwatches.
HONOR has released its latest smartwatch, the HONOR Watch 6, in European markets, equipped with a large battery promising up to 35 days of operation on a single charge. The device also offers more than 120 modes for tracking sports and health activities, positioning it as a strong competitor in the long-lasting smartwatch category.
The battery stands out as a key strength of the HONOR Watch 6, featuring a 980mAh capacity, which ranks among the largest available in smartwatches. According to HONOR, the watch can function for up to 35 days per charge based on the company's tests. However, actual performance depends on factors such as GPS usage, screen settings, notifications, and health and sports tracking features, as reported by gadgets&wearables.
The HONOR Watch 6 sports a circular design with a diameter of 46.5mm and a thickness of 10.8mm, weighing from 41 grams in the black version. It includes a 1.46-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 464×464 pixels and a pixel density of 317ppi, offering brightness up to 3000 nits to enhance visibility under direct sunlight.
The smartwatch supports over 120 fitness and health modes, with particular emphasis on trail running, football, and badminton. For trail running, it provides an AI-powered smart coach, distance and elevation measurements, off-route alerts, and a dual-frequency GPS system to improve tracking accuracy.
In football mode, the watch delivers heatmaps and movement path analyses within the field. The badminton mode offers detailed data such as stroke speed and tracks consecutive exchanges during play.
A notable addition is the screen control feature that functions even when the user's hands are wet. This is practical for athletes running in the rain or after swimming, allowing effective use without touch response degradation due to water.
The HONOR Watch 6 provides a broad set of health monitoring tools, including heart rate measurement, blood oxygen level monitoring, stress and sleep tracking, rapid health checks, and automatic daily reports. It utilizes HONOR IntelliSense technology to enhance the accuracy of vital sign detection compared to traditional PPG sensors.
The watch includes several smart features such as an AI-supported voice recorder capable of generating voice notes and automatic summaries. It also supports simultaneous connection to two phones, consolidating notifications in one place.
Users can customize the interface with live photos and short video clips as animated backgrounds. Gesture controls are available for muting alarms, managing calls, and changing music through wrist movements.
During the promotional launch period, the HONOR Watch 6 is priced starting at £149.99 in the United Kingdom and €169.90 in Germany, with free earphones offered as part of special deals for subscribers. The device also supports NFC for electronic payments, with the service set to be activated gradually in supported markets starting July 2026.
