Summary
Around 14 days of battery life stood out in Notebookcheck’s testing, with the Honor Watch 6 aimed squarely at sports and health users rather than full smartwatch buyers.
Heart-rate and SpO2 readings were generally close to reference devices, though heart-rate tracking reacted slowly to rapid changes and dual-band GNSS showed minor route inaccuracies.
More than 120 workout modes include new Pro modes for soccer and badminton, offering detailed analysis such as heat maps and stroke data, but their real-world usefulness is limited by match rules and wrist placement.
A 1.46-inch AMOLED display looked sharp and controls were straightforward, but the watch lacks Wi-Fi, cellular connectivity, ECG, fall detection and a broad app ecosystem, with extra limitations for iPhone users.
At €270 in Europe, the Watch 6 shapes up as a strong fitness-focused option for buyers prioritizing battery life over broader smartwatch functions.
