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.

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.

The post Honor Watch 6 Plus full specs revealed ahead of launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

According to a new leak, the upcoming Honor Watch 6 Plus could bring a noticeable jump in endurance, along with a round dial design. The smartwatch is expected to launch sometime in May.

The details come from Digital Chat Station, who claims the watch has already been tested on Honor’s robot “Lightning.” The robot reportedly completed a half-marathon while wearing the device, which is an unusual but interesting way to show off both design and durability. More importantly, the leak suggests the battery life could be one of the standout features here.

Honor is said to be using its high-silicon Qinghai Lake battery technology, which it has been pushing across multiple products. In this case, the claim is that the Watch 6 Plus could feature the largest battery ever used in a smartwatch. If that holds up in real-world use, it could address one of the most common complaints with smartwatches.

On the health side, the watch is expected to build on what Honor has already been doing. Features like continuous blood pressure monitoring and early warning systems for cardiac issues are likely to carry over, along with more refined fitness tracking.

There is also talk of improved sports modes and smarter data tracking, powered by Honor’s own algorithms. The idea seems to be offering more useful guidance, not just raw numbers, so the watch can suggest when to push harder and when to take it easy.

It is still early, and a lot of this is based on leaks, so things could change. But if the battery claims turn out to be accurate, the Honor Watch 6 Plus could end up being a pretty interesting option in a segment where battery life is still a weak point.
