Last month, along with the Honor View 20 flagship smartphone, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer had also launched its two wearable devices in the Indian market — Honor Band 4 Running Edition and Honor Watch Magic.

While the Honor Watch Magic recently went on sale in India, the company has now started selling the Honor Band 4 Running Edition in the Indian market. Carrying a price tag of Rs. 1,599 (approximately $23), the new fitness tracker is available for purchase through Amazon India.

The Honor Band 4 Running Edition goes on sale in India just a couple of months after the Honor Band 4 was listed on Amazon India. The Running Edition model is said to be a “watered down” variant of the standard model.

The Honor Band 4 Running Edition comes with similar specifications as that of the conventional Band 4 launched year along with some added features such as running posture monitoring, water-resistance up to 50 meters and two wearing modes.

The fitness tracker comes with a 0.95-inch OLED display and a 2.5D glass on top. Just like the Xiaomi’s Mi Band 3, the Honor Band 4 is also water resistant up to 50 meters and also recognizes Swim strokes. It supports functions such as sleep tracking, exercise tracking, pedometer, continuous heart rate monitoring with Huawei TruSeen 2.0 technology, and sedentary reminder.

In addition to tracking activities, the device also shows notifications on the OLED display and even offers an incoming call-mute function. The device also comes with built-in NFC support, meaning that it can also be used to make payments. Under the hood, the fitness tracker is powered by a 100mAh battery, which the company claims can deliver standby time of up to 14 days.

Huawei’s Honor brand launched the Honor Band 4 alongside the trimmed down Band 4 Running Edition last week during the Honor 8X and 8X Max launch event. Both wearable devices went up for pre-orders immediately after their launch and the sales were scheduled for today (September 11). Honor has now announced that the Honor Band 4 Running Version got sold out within two hours after the sales opened.

The Honor Band 4 Running version is cheaper than the Band 4. It adopts a 99 yuan ($14) price tag unlike the Band 4 which has a 199 yuan (~$29) price tag that is twice that of the Running version. The Band 4 Running version comes with a stylish design which Honor says is inspired by the styling characteristics of the sports car inlet, which contains a steady stream of power. The smart band is suitable for footwear and incorporates Honor’s self-developed step counter algorithm to record every step in real-time.

More importantly, the Honor Band 4 Running version can detect seven data indicators which include location, landing impact, valgus amplitude, swing angle, stride, step frequency, bottoming time, etc. The smart band can be worn on the wrist as well as on the running shoes. When on the wrist, it has time display, accurate step counting, sleep monitoring, call reminder, message reminder, vibration alarm clock, phone call rejection, Bluetooth disconnect reminder, mute call, calorie consumption, sedentary reminder, find mobile phone, do not disturb mode, target reach reminder and other functions.

The Running version will be on presale at 10.08AM daily China time from September 11 to September 19. The device will be on sale next on September 20.

On September 5, Honor will announce two new smartphones – the Honor 8 and the Honor 8X Max. However, those two are not the only products the Huawei sub-brand will be unveiling.

A new image posted by the manufacturer’s Weibo account has revealed that it will also announce a new smartband – the Honor Band 4. The Honor Band 3 was released nearly a year ago, so it is no surprise a successor will be launching soon.

Just like the Honor 8X, the Honor Band 4 will also come in two variants – a regular version worn on the wrist like a regular smartband and a second variant called the Honor Band 4 Running Edition that can be attached to your running shoes.

A second teaser poster also released today teases some of the features the new smart band will have. It will have NFC (likely limited to the wrist version), sleep tracking, ability to track swimming and running activities, and it will also serve as a shutter button when taking pictures with your phone.

With respect to design, we can see the circular button from the Honor Band 3 will return. The accompanying text even mentions a color display.
