Honor launched a bunch of new products today. These include the Magic V2, which debuts as the thinnest foldable yet, the MagicPad 13, and the Smart Screen 5 TV. Alongside these unique products, the company has introduced the Honor Watch 4 with eSIM support and a long-lasting 10 days of battery life. The watch brings a sleek design and comes in multiple colors. Let’s look closely at its specs and features.

Honor Watch 4 Price and Specifications

First things first, let’s talk about the eSIM support on the smartwatch. Honor Watch 4 is the company’s first smartwatch with support for eSIM. It also comes with a unique dual-standby feature. This lets you connect the watch to two different sim cards on your phone and simultaneously receive calls, text messages, and other notifications.

Honor Watch 4 has a square dial with a button on the right. The frame appears to be frosted and looks sleek.  It packs a 1.75-inch AMOLED display with a 450x390px resolution and 60Hz refresh rate. The watch has a 6 series aluminum case.

The smartwatch has a long battery life. When connected to an Honor phone, it can last up to 10 days. When used independently in an all-weather 24-hour eSIM scenario, it can last for 3 days or more. The watch uses POGO PIN charging and comes with a charging base.

The Honor Watch 4 is a fitness tracker that can do it all. It supports 85 sports modes, 12 professional workouts, and can even screen for atrial fibrillation and sleep apnea. And of course, it can track your sleep overall. The Honor smartwatch is available for purchase in China for just 949 Yuan ($132), inclusive of a 50 Yuan discount off the regular price. And you can choose from three stylish colors— black, gold, or blue.

Honor, a sub-brand of Huawei, has today officially confirmed that the company will soon launch a new smartwatch in its home market China — Honor Watch GS Pro. While the company has teased the launch, the exact date has not been revealed yet.

Making the announcement about this smartwatch, the company shared a teaser image on Weibo, along with a caption that reads: “Honor Watch GS Pro will be released soon, from the city to the outdoors, accompanying you to explore the 10,000 possibilities in life!”

Although the company has not revealed any information related to the watch, we know that the device carries model number KAN-B19 as the product was recently certified by the Economic Commission for Europe. The teaser image also hints that the smartwatch will come with a circular dial design.

We expect to get more information about this Honor Watch GS Pro in the coming days and the company could make the device official in a couple of weeks. An announcement related to its launch date could happen in the coming days.

The most recent smartwatch launched by the company is Honor Magic Watch 2, which comes powered by the company’s own Kirin A1 chipset, a 1.39-inch AMOLED display, 15 different sport modes for tracking, and 455mAh battery for two weeks of usage.

Just like its parent company Huawei, Honor has really been working so much these last few months. Since the shift of focus from flagship models, the brand has made several strides in the mid-range and budget segment. The inexpensive Honor 8C and Honor 8X are already making great pace in India. During the various shopping holiday activities, the company’s products sold in droves. Even the high-end models like the Honor Magic 2 and the eagerly-awaited Honor View 20 are beginning to carve out a high prestige for the brand in the higher market and likewise in the innovation segments.

Away from the smartphone segment, the Honor brand also has its tentacles spread to the smart wearable market. Honor only newly released its Watch Magic – a more or less slightly downgraded twin to the Huawei Watch GT. Now, a new Honor watch is already on the horizon, as shown by a Bluetooth SIG certification.

Unfortunately, a lot of hardware details was not given by the public document on the mystery gadget which goes by the model number “ELF-G10”. The document does, however, specifically refer to it as a “smartwatch”, as opposed to the various style of wearable, like the Honor Band 4. Still, the smart bit is obviously present, hence the Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy standard support the document is meant to certify.

Another interesting bit of information about the watch is that it will obviously be based on a MediaTek platform. While definitely not unheard of, it will be a far less common option of the chipset as compared to Qualcomm’s wearable solutions, which presently have a greater share of the market. However, Huawei and consequently Honor have begun experimenting on both hardware and software fronts with their recent wearables. The Watch GT, for example, makes use of an innovative dual-chipset design, with a custom ultra-low-power chip running most of the basic functions of the watch and a more stronger package only setting in when needed. On the software side, the two companies now possess their own LiteOS operating system for watches. Perhaps Honor is devising means to optimise battery even further with different experimental platform design in this recent wearable.

The Honor event scheduled for October 31 will not only be for the launch of the Magic 2 but also for the Honor Watch. The watch is expected to pack interesting features one of which is payment support. Honor has released a bunch of promotional images (and a new poster) that give us a closer look at the smartwatch.

The Honor Watch has a circular dial and a stainless steel frame. The rim has a tachymeter scale and there are two buttons on the right side. One of the buttons has a red marking and the other is plain. The strap in the poster seems to be made of rubber and has a two-tone design. The promotional images below show that there is a leather variant too.

The promotional images don’t show the watch up close save for one which also confirms that the watch has support for contactless payment. However, each of the images shows the watch with a different face, so it is safe to say this is a full smartwatch and not a hybrid.

According to Twitter user @RODENT950 who shared the poster, the Honor Watch may have been developed in collaboration with Audi just like they did with the Honor Play smartphone.

Registration for the watch already begun on October 23 across various platforms.

Honor will announce a brand new Honor Watch smartwatch alongside the Honor Magic 2 flagship on October 31. Before the official launch, the watch is up for registrations starting tomorrow. The teaser poster also reveals a few details about the watch including its basic design.

We are used to seeing beautiful watches from Honor’s parent company, Huawei, like the new Huawei Watch GT. On the other hand, Honor has usually stuck to smart bands and the most smartwatch-like device from the brand has been the two-year-old Honor Watch S1. However, this might change with the new Honor Watch as the first image of the device shows promise. The design is very much like the Huawei Watch GT with a circular dial and two buttons on the side.

What’s interesting is that the watch seems to have physical hands. We can’t confirm it for sure, but the hands seem to be very prominent in the pictures. A hybrid watch would make sense to some extent since Honor leans towards the affordable market and a smartwatch hybrid would be a much cheaper and good looking option than something like a full-fledged smartwatch similar to the Huawei Watch GT.

The Honor Watch goes up for registrations from tomorrow (October 23) at 10:08AM on VMall, JD.com and Suning. So, we are expecting more details soon.

Honor will unveil the Magic 2 phone on October 31 but just like its parent company, Huawei did during the launch of the Mate 20 series, it will also announce a smartwatch. A poster for the Honor Watch has surfaced confirming the watch will launch alongside the Magic 2.

The poster (pictured above) shows the silhouette of the Honor Watch. We can see it has a circular dial and two hardware buttons. The design is similar to that of the Huawei Watch GT but the dial and the straps should have a different design. We also expect the Honor Watch to have the same internals as the Huawei Watch GT but with lesser features which should translate to a cheaper price tag.

The Huawei Watch GT comes in two variants – a Classic and a Sports version. Both run a custom OS and not Wear OS. They are also powered by a Cortex-M4 chipset and not Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 2100 or the newer Snapdragon 3100 chipset.

The post Honor Watch to launch on October 31, possibly a cheaper variant of the Huawei Watch GT appeared first on Gizmochina.

Yesterday, Qualcomm announced the new Snapdragon Wear 3100 for wearables. Following this announcement, we expect upcoming watches to be powered by the new chipset.

Two new smartwatches from Huawei and Honor just got certified at the European certification office and we have a feeling they may be powered by the new chipset. The two devices are named Huawei Watch GT and Honor Watch respectively. The certification doesn’t reveal anything about their specs and design though. However, there are guesses as to what they will be like and pack.

Huawei’s smartwatches have a circular design and both watches are expected to stick to that. They are also expected to pack 4GB of storage and 768MB of RAM, same as previous watches. However, the likely new processor and the new version of Wear OS should bring much more interesting features.

The Honor Watch is speculated to be the cheaper of the two seeing as Honor products are usually less expensive. However, that cheaper price tag may mean it will be missing some features that may be present in the Huawei Watch GT such as LTE connectivity.

It is unknown when these smartwatches will be announced but we won’t be surprised if Huawei unveiled its own watch at the Mate 20 event in October.
