The HONOR Watch GS Pro is the brand’s first rugged smartwatch. It was first unveiled at IFA 2020 in early September. In the same month, it went on sale in multiple regions, including China. Now, four months later, the company has launched a special version of this watch called ‘HONOR Watch GS Pro Mysterious Starry Sky Edition’ in its home country alongside HONOR V40 5G and HONOR MagicBook 14/15 2021.

There’s nothing new about the HONOR Watch GS Pro Mysterious Starry Sky Edition, except for design and special watch faces. This variant of the watch is co-designed with Discovery, Inc., a well-known media company known for infotainment TV channels.

Unlike the regular version, the special edition of this smartwatch features copper-accented keys and stainless steel bezels with additional etches, such as ‘DISCOVERY’ and ‘HONOR WATCH GS PRO’ at the top. Whereas, the polycarbonate part of the wearable’s chassis and the strap are black in color.

You might be wondering why copper color although the watch is called Mysterious Starry Sky. That’s because this special edition smartwatch’s design is inspired by the planet Venus, which is shown clearly in the custom watch faces with the Discovery logo.

That said, despite being a limited edition product, HONOR has priced this watch at only ¥1,399 ($216), the current selling price of the regular variant. For those unaware, this wearable initially debuted for ¥1,599 ($247) in China.
