Honor Watch 6 Plus — First-Ever "Plus" Watch With Largest Battery

Honor has started the pre-order activity for the Watch 6 Plus wearable and will launch it next month. Watch 6 Plus will debut as a top-tier wearable in the Honor family with new features and upgraded specifications.

This is the first Honor Watch branded as "Plus" — we don't really know what to expect, but by the looks of it, it might be the spiritual successor to the Watch 5 Ultra that was released in March last year.

The 1,000mAh Battery — A Historic Leap

Honor has confirmed that the Watch 6 Plus will feature the first-ever 1,000mAh battery capacity in the company's history. This implementation will result in 35 days of battery life — saying goodbye to major battery concerns among consumers.

For comparison: most flagship smartwatches range between 300-500mAh. Garmin is currently the only smartwatch brand with the longest battery life between 36-90 days (Garmin Enduro 3), with an extra 46 days with solar charging. Huawei ranks second with 21 days of battery life.

Design and Colors

The design is reminiscent of the Huawei Watch GT 6 with a labeled bezel, a digital crown, and an additional physical button on the side. Available with either a brown leather strap or a sports strap in white, blue, or black. The watch case comes in silver or black with a brushed finish indicating stainless steel construction.

Revealed color options: Flying Blue, Racing Gray, Twilight Brown, Shadow Black, and Shadow Black (Lite Edition).

Announced Features

120+ sports modes. Cardiac Guardian Plus with the industry's exclusive anti-catastrophic risk screening research function. Advanced running exercises. Professional heart health care tools. Dedicated badminton mode.

Comparison With Watch 5 Ultra

The design doesn't seem too different from Honor Watch 5 Ultra. However, battery life has been significantly improved thanks to a larger battery. 35 days if true would be one of the longest in the industry and surpassed by only a few Garmin smartwatches.
