Update: October 2
Honor has officially revealed the HONOR Watch ES launch date for India. The smartwatch will be unveiled in the country on October 8.
Original Story: October 1
At IFA 2020, HONOR launched Watch ES for Europe as its version of HUAWEI Watch Fit. A few days later, this wearable debuted in the brand’s home country China. Now, the company has begun to tease it for India. As per the press release, this smartwatch will be exclusive to Amazon India, however, the company is yet to announce its launch date.
On the other hand, the HONOR Watch GS Pro (Flipkart exclusive) will be launching in the country alongside HONOR CHOICE True Wireless Earbuds on October 8.
HONOR Watch ES is a uniquely designed smartwatch targeted at the fashionable audience. Unlike most wearables, which are either circular or square in shape, this one is rectangular.
Above all, as we mentioned in the beginning, it is similar to the HUAWEI Watch Fit. The only key differences are that the Honor version lacks GPS but features an accented button, however, it comes with 95 workout modes as opposed to 86 on the Huawei model.
Other than the above-mentioned dissimilarities, both of them sport a similar set of features. That means it comes equipped with a 1.64-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 456 x 280 pixels 326ppi, and 70% screen-to-body ratio.

Other features include 5 ATM water-resistance, sleep tracking, stress-level monitoring, menstrual cycle tracking, app/call/message alerts, 10-day battery life, and more.
Last but not least, the HONOR Watch ES is available in three colors namely Meteorite Black, Coral Pink, and Icelandic White priced at €99.99 in Europe and 599 yuan in China. At the moment, we are not sure which colors will be made available for India at what price.
