Honor is preparing to launch a new smartwatch aimed at users who want to spend less time charging their wearables and more time tracking highly specific sports metrics. Ahead of its official May 25th debut in China alongside the new Honor 600 smartphone series, reservations for the Honor Watch 6 Plus have opened on JD.com, giving us a complete look at the device’s hardware and feature set.
Honor Watch 6 Plus Specifications
The hardware detail that stands out most is the 1,000mAh battery. That is a relatively high capacity for a wrist wearable. Honor claims it can last around 17 days under normal daily use. There is also a low-power mode designed to push that to 35 days, while continuous standalone GPS tracking will drain it in about 42 hours. Even with that battery size, the watch body is 10.8mm thick and weighs 41 grams.
For the design, Honor went with a motorsport-inspired look, featuring angled bezel edges and textured straps. It will be available in colors like Speed Blue, Twilight Brown, Racing Gray, and Shadow Black, with fabric and leather band options. The display is a 1.46-inch AMOLED screen. It has a peak brightness of 3,000 nits to help with outdoor glare, and it includes wet-touch support so you can still navigate the MagicOS interface if the screen gets wet from rain or sweat.
The software is heavily focused on fitness tracking. Alongside more than 120 standard workout modes, Honor includes specialized profiles: a badminton mode that tracks swing speed, rally counts, and forehand/backhand ratios; a football mode for logging sprint speeds and distance; and a running mode that offers posture analysis and pace guidance.
Location tracking is handled by a dual-frequency, six-satellite GNSS chip, which supports offline maps and route importing. For everyday health metrics, the watch monitors heart rate, sleep, and includes alerts for irregular heart rhythms and sleep apnea detection.
Rounding out the device are standard smartwatch features like NFC, Alipay tap-to-pay, gesture controls, and music playback. The built-in YOYO voice assistant also features DeepSeek AI integration, and the watch supports dual phone connectivity for Honor smartphone users.
Pricing for the Honor Watch 6 Plus has not been announced yet. It will be revealed on the 25th May.
