Honor released the Band 6 in November last year as a sleek, yet durable fitness tracker. The smart band features a full-screen integrated design without physical buttons. It packs a 1.47-inch display which is nearly twice as large as the displays of most fitness bands in the market.

One year after, the company has now pushed a new update that brings a refreshed new feature to the fitness band. The Honor Band 6 comes with support for a single blood oxygen detection function, which can quickly monitor the user’s blood oxygen status. However, the new feature is an extension of the blood oxygen monitoring to a continuous one.

This is the first major firmware upgrade the fitness band will be receiving and aside from the continuous blood oxygen monitoring, the band also supports real-time viewing, low blood oxygen vibration reminder in the non-sleeping state, continuous health monitoring.

In addition, the sports mode is upgraded from support for 10 sporting activities to a staggering 95! Thus, there is always a sport that can suit everyone in order to enhance general fitness and wellbeing.

The Honor Band 6 launched yesterday, and we bet we are not the only ones who can see the similarity in design between the new fitness tracker and the Honor Watch ES which was announced in September. The Honor Watch ES, itself, shares most of its features with the Huawei Watch Fit. If you want to know how those two differ, you should read this.

For this post, we will highlight how the Honor Band 6 differs from the Honor Watch ES, and we hope this makes it easier for you to decide which of the two wearables suits your needs better.

The table below compares the specs of the two devices:

Display and Battery Life
As you can see, the Honor Watch ES packs a larger display and has a higher resolution. The spec sheet also says it has Always-on Display but Honor doesn’t mention if the feature is available for the Band 6 even though it also has an AMOLED screen.

The Watch ES also has an ambient light sensor which means that the brightness can be adjusted automatically. For the Band 6, you will have to adjust the brightness when you are indoor or outside.

Both fitness trackers have the same battery capacity but the larger display of the Watch ES means that its battery life is lesser.

Built-in Storage

Another major difference is built-in storage which is not available on the Honor Band 6. If you don’t like taking your phone along when going on a run but don’t want to miss out on your exercise playlist, then the Honor Watch ES is the one for you.

Workout modes

The important part of a fitness tracker is how is its activity tracking. Clearly, the Honor Watch ES has the upper hand as it features more workout modes than the Honor Band 6. It also has animated workouts. However, the Honor Band 6’s 10 sports modes include the most popular ones such as indoor (treadmill) running, outdoor running, swimming, elliptical, indoor and outdoor cycling, indoor and outdoor walking, rowing, and free training. If your favorite exercise(s) isn’t mentioned above, then the Band 6 isn’t for you.

Price and Conclusion

The Honor Band 6 is only available in China for now and its price tag is less than half of that of the Honor Watch ES. Also, the tradeoffs aren’t ones you can’t live without, however, we wish it had more workout modes.

So if you like the design of the Honor Watch ES but aren’t willing to shell out that much for a fitness tracker, then go ahead and grab the Honor Band 6. You will be saving more than half of the price but you won’t be missing out on much.

HONOR, the sub-brand of HUAWEI has officially launched HONOR Band 6 as the world’s first fitness tracker with a full-screen display. It comes in two variants – without NFC and with NFC. The design of this wearable is unlike its predecessors. It can be considered as the mini version of the recently launched HONOR Watch ES.

HONOR Band 6 Specifications and Features 

The HONOR Band 6 flaunts a 1.47-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 194 x 368 pixels and 2.5D glass. It does not come with a capacitive key because it uses gesture navigation like on smartphones. But it houses a red-accented physical button on the right side to wake up the screen. Whereas, on the left side, it features HONOR branding,

The fitness tracker comes in three color options namely Meteorite Black, Seagull Grey, and Coral Powder. However, it is worth noting that the colors are only applicable for the strap as the body remains black in all three variants.

Talking about features, it supports 10 sports modes, blood oxygen level monitoring, HUAWEI TruSeen 4.0 24-hour heart-rate monitoring, HUAWEI TruSleep sleep monitoring, menstrual cycle monitoring, and up to 14-day battery life. Additionally, the NFC version also supports contactless payments and voice assistant.

Further, the internals of this wearable includes Bluetooth 5.0, accelerometer, gyroscope, optical heart rate sensor, and a 180mAh battery. It is water-resistant up to 5ATM and charges via a magnetic charger

Last but not least, it bears the model number ARG-B19, measures 43 × 25.4 × 11.45mm in dimensions, and weighs about 18g without the strap.

HONOR Band 6 Pricing and Availability

The HONOR Band 6 is available in two variants. Their prices are as follows.

• HONOR Band 6 – 249 yuan ($37)
• HONOR Band 6 NFC – 289 yuan ($43)

Both the variants will be available for pre-order starting November 4 (tomorrow) and will go on sale from November 11 (Single’s Day sale) in China. 

Although HONOR did not say anything about its international availability, the product should make it to global markets like other wearables from the brand.

The post HONOR Band 6 launched as the world’s first full-screen fitness tracker appeared first on Gizmochina.

In July 2019, Honor announced the Honor Band 5. The company was expected to launch its successor i.e. the Honor Band 6 by mid-2020, but its arrival was delayed for reasons best known to itself. Today, Honor took to Weibo to confirm that the Honor Band 6 will be debuting in China on Nov. 3. A tipster had recently claimed the device will be arriving with a full-screen display. The teaser released by Honor today reveals that its upcoming fitness tracker will indeed offer a full-screen experience.

The machine translation of the Chinese text placed below the silhouette of the Honor Band 6 reads, “open the era of full-screen bracelets.” There is no information available on the specifications of the Band 6. With the launch date drawing near, the company is expected to reveal some of its key features in the next few days.

Last year, the Honor Band 5 was made official alongside the Honor 9X series of smartphones. It is unclear whether the Huawei sub-brand has plans to announce any other device alongside the Band 6 on Nov. 3. There is a possibility that the device could be rebranded as the Huawei Band 6 in some markets.

Huawei is going through hard times but the company as well as its sub-brand HONOR continues to launch new products. Though the Chinese telecom giant may not be able to produce smartphones in a few months from now (at least with its own chipsets), it might still continue to manufacture and sell connected products. According to a tip, HONOR will be soon launching a new fitness tracker called HONOR Band 6.

Just like Xiaomi’s Mi Bands, Huawei also sells fitness trackers called HUAWEI Band and HONOR Band. Almost all the wearables from these two brands are identical with some minor differences.

Hence, this upcoming HONOR Band 6, as tipped by 长安数码君 on Weibo may also launch as HUAWEI Band 5. That said, according to the said leakster, the HONOR Band 6 will be the first full-screen fitness tracker. Since this person has been accurate with almost all of his HUAWEI and HONOR-related leaks, we believe it could be true.

Anyway, we are not sure how much of a full-screen experience this fitness tracker will offer. But anything better than the current maximum screen-to-body ratio is a welcome change.

Apart from this little piece of information, nothing else is known about the forthcoming HONOR Band 6. There’s a chance that it may get unveiled alongside the rumored HONOR V40 series.
