Despite being just a couple months old, new avatars of the Honor MagicWatch 2 have just been unveiled. Collaborating with multiple artists, Honor has come up with a range of funky designs as part of the Limited Edition package. The MagicWatch 2 Limited Edition is adorned with colorful bezels, bands, and themes and has been designed by “a number of rising stars from the world of art and graphic design” according to Honor’s official statement.

Honor unveiled the limited edition designs at a special event held in London on January 21. Some of the artists in question are Giovanni Ozzola, George Greaves, Wag DongLing, and Jacky Tsai. Inspired by what seems like jazzy swatches at first glance, the designs draw inspiration from the world of photographers, sculptors, graphics designers, and illustrators. Behind the façade is the same old MagicWatch 2 that Honor launched back in November 2019.

The Honor MagicWatch 2 Limited Edition features built-in themes matching its unique style, and is part of the company’s aggressive push into the smart-wearables category. A move to further establish an independent identity away from parent company Huawei.

The official statement by George Zhao, Honor’s President read, “We are dedicated to bringing customers the latest in cutting-edge technology, coupled with the newest fashion trends. Our products are funky on the outside and smart on the inside and embody our free spirit. Our range of uniquely-designed products ensures that you have something to wear on every occasion”.

There is a limited number of watch faces/themes available on the Huawei Health app right now. However, starting February 2020 85 unique designs will be available for download. What is interesting to note is the designs were selected from over 1,400 entries that came in as part of Honor’s Global Watch Face Design contest.

Although the quirky designs are interesting, the MagicWatch 2 Limited Edition gets the exact same features as the standard variant. The flashy watch offers up to two weeks of battery backup, which is quite similar to what is seen on the Huawei Watch GT 2, which is designed using the same platform. Details regarding pricing and availability are currently unavailable, but you could buy the standard variant for £160 (~$209) for the 46mm variant and £150 (~$196) for the 42mm option.
