Honor has launched the Watch 6 Plus in China with a focus on long battery life and advanced sports tracking features. It is priced from 1,199 yuan (around $176) and features a motorsport-inspired design. The smartwatch is currently available for pre-orders in China and will officially go on sale starting May 29.
Honor Watch 6 Plus Specifications
The watch is built around a 1.46-inch AMOLED display with a 464 x 464 resolution. Honor says the screen can reach a peak brightness of 3,000 nits, which should make it easy to read in direct sunlight. It also includes wet-touch support, allowing the screen to remain responsive if you are using it in the rain or during a sweaty workout.
In terms of hardware, the Watch 6 Plus has a 46.5mm circular dial and a 10.8mm thick case. Depending on the color you choose, options include Speed Blue, Twilight Brown, Racing Grey, and Shadow Black, the front shell is made from either aluminum alloy or 316L stainless steel, paired with a reinforced polymer fiber back. Without the strap, the watch weighs approximately 41 grams.
The smartwatch uses a huge 1,000mAh battery that Honor says can last up to 35 days on a restricted long-endurance Bluetooth mode, or roughly 17 days under normal daily use. If you are using the independent GPS continuously for activities like hiking or long-distance running, the battery is rated for about 42 hours.
For location tracking, the watch uses dual-frequency (L1 and L5) six-satellite GNSS positioning. It includes standard health sensors for continuous heart rate, blood oxygen, and sleep monitoring, alongside over 120 sports modes. Honor has added specific tracking features for badminton and football; the badminton mode logs data like swing speed and rally count, while the football mode records sprint speeds and creates movement heatmaps.
The software is based on a MagicOS-inspired interface and covers the usual smartwatch features. It supports Bluetooth 5.4 calling via a built-in microphone and speaker, NFC for tap-to-pay services, and Baidu Maps navigation. The device has 5ATM and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance, meaning it is safe for pool swimming but not intended for diving or high-pressure water sports.
In related news, Honor has also launched the Honor 600 Vitality, Honor 600 Super, and Honor 600 Pro with batteries as large as 8600mAh and 200MP camera systems.
