The HONOR Watch 6 smartwatch is an athlete-targeted wearable that takes active outdoors lifestyles into focus to work seamlessly for the changing preferences of today's consumer. The smartwatch takes a decidedly sleeker approach to athletic wearables that measures in at 10.8mm in thickness and 41-grams in weight without the strap. The wearable features a round 1.46-inch Hybrid LTPS screen that will offer a peak brightness of 3,000 nits to maximize visibility in direct sunlight, while the 980mAh battery is rated to deliver as much as 35 days of use per charge.
The HONOR Watch 6 smartwatch is rounded out with a durable aluminum alloy case, stainless steel bezel, 5ATM rating and IP69 certification for water and dust resistance. The wearable will offer more than 100 workout modes including the new Professional Badminton Mode and the Professional Football Mode.
