Honor has confirmed that it has a new smartwatch on the way. The wearable will launch as the Honor Watch GS Pro on September 4 at IFA 2020. However, that isn’t the only smartwatch we should expect from the Huawei-owned company.
The president of Honor, George Zhao, asked on Weibo a few days ago if folks prefer round dials or square dials. The top executive’s post is actually a quote of another post that was made by the official Honor Life Weibo account. This original post includes a long image, part of which we have cut out and added below.
As you can see, the image shows two hands holding each other. On one wrist is a watch with a round dial and on the other wrist is a watch with a square/rectangular dial. The latter has a display similar to that of the recently announced Huawei Watch Fit.
Honor doesn’t have a watch with that design and we want to believe it is teasing the arrival of its first watch with a square dial. However, it will most likely be Honor’s version of the Huawei Watch Fit. This is not the first time Honor will launch a product similar to that announced by its parent company. And as is the tradition, Honor’s version usually costs less.
The Huawei Watch Fit has a 1.64-inch 280 x 456 AMOLED display with a 70% screen-to-body ratio. There are lots of customizable watch faces including AOD ones. The watch has 12 animated exercises built-in and can track up to 11 different sports. There is also a custom workout mode. The watch also has GPS, a heart rate sensor, sleep tracking, SpO2 detection, and menstrual cycle tracking. Huawei claims its new watch has a battery life of 10 days with typical usage and has put a price tag of 399 AED (~$110) on it.
