Freshly unveiled, the Honor Watch 6 stands out as a highly recommended wearable. Available in Twilight Brown and Shadow Black (with our review model being the latter), it typically retails for €250/£230, with an additional €20/£20 for the Brown version. However, it is currently available for just €170/£150 during its launch month—a remarkable €80/£80 discount.
Inside the box, you’ll find the watch itself, a fluororubber strap for the Black model, a leather strap for the Brown variant (accounting for the price difference), and a magnetic USB-A charger. Unfortunately, the charger features two pins that align with the watch rather than a universal wireless charging option.
What makes the Honor Watch 6 an exceptional choice? Its impressive battery, which is just 20mAh shy of 1,000mAh, is quite substantial for a smartwatch. Thanks to Honor's proprietary MagicOS, it can last up to a month with typical usage!
However, the sheer size of the battery isn't the most impressive aspect. What truly stands out is how lightweight it feels on the wrist, providing all the functionality of a standard smartwatch. Weighing in at just under 68g, it strikes a balance between being sturdy yet not cumbersome.
It's neither too light nor flimsy—it's precisely what you want in a 46mm watch. The construction quality is commendable; the watch feels solid, and the front glass is flush with the case. Six slightly elevated index markers on the aluminum bezel enhance protection for the glass in case of a fall.
This classic timepiece features twin lugs on both ends and is equipped with two buttons on the right side, one of which functions as a rotating crown.
The display is a circular 1.46-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 464x464 pixels, boasting a brightness of up to 3,000 nits. Honor's MagicOS maintains a familiar look consistent with its smartphone counterpart, featuring subtly transparent elements throughout.
That's all for now. Stay tuned for a comprehensive review of the Honor Watch 6, as we’ll need ample time for battery testing given its impressive 35-day runtime!
