Honor has quietly opened pre-orders today for the Honor Band 11 series across both online and offline sales channels in China. The lineup includes three models: the Honor Band 11, the Honor Band 11 Pro, and the Honor Band 11 Pro GPS Edition.

The Honor Band 11 Pro GPS Edition is a first for the series. It is the first Honor Band model to include an independent GPS chip. This lets users record their running, cycling, or other outdoor routes and track exercise data without carrying a phone.

All three models add a dedicated badminton mode and sleep health tracking. Battery life differs by model. The standard Honor Band 11 lasts up to 18 days on a single charge. The Pro series, which covers both the Pro and Pro GPS models, extends that to up to 26 days.

As for the color options, the standard Honor Band 11 comes in Sea Salt White, Taro Purple, and Caviar. The Pro series, including the GPS version, comes in Almond White, Cocoa Black, and Avocado.

The Honor Band 11 series succeeds last year’s Honor Band 10, which came in standard and NFC versions. The Band 11 series builds on the visual design of Band 10, which also features a 1.57-inch AMOLED display at 256×402 resolution, a body just 8.99mm thick, a weight of about 22.1 grams with the strap, and quick-release strap swaps.

The Band 10 also introduced the Honor Heart Health Research feature that combines several heart monitoring signals to flag possible atrial fibrillation, irregular heartbeats, premature beats, and abnormal heart rates. It can also screen for signs of sleep apnea risk. 

On the fitness side, it supports 96 sports modes in total, made up of 11 professional modes such as outdoor and indoor running, outdoor cycling, pool swimming, rope skipping, elliptical training, and rowing, along with 85 customizable modes.

More details on the HonorBand 11 series are expected as the pre-order window continues.
