A few months ago, Honor unveiled the impressive Watch 6 – it measured only 10.8mm thick, but packed a massive 980mAh battery for up to 35 days of typical usage. There’s also the Plus model with a 1,000mAh Si/C battery. Now the company is unveiling a more capable Pro model that trades battery endurance for features.
The Honor Watch 6 Pro impresses with a 1.5” dual-layer OLED display (466 x 466px). It has 4,500 nits peak global brightness and, if a smaller region of the screen is on, it can go up to 5,500 nits. The watch measures 46.3mm x 46.3mm x 11.6mm.

Besides its impressive screen, the Pro is all about the health features. It has 24/7 heart rate variability (HRV) tracking, a second-gen blood pressure monitoring system and a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) blood sugar monitor. It also has crash detection and can send out an alarm if it stops detecting a pulse (cardiac arrest).

The high-precision Honor Polaris positioning system uses a dual-frequency, three-antenna design for stable reception even deep inside the urban canyon. The watch can do 21 hours of continuous position tracking.

Speaking of battery life, the 500mAh power cell can last 7 days with Always On Display (AOD) enabled or up to 4 days if you also enable all health-tracking features. In max battery mode, the watch can last up to 18 days.
The Watch 6 Pro has Trail Running Mode, Professional Badminton Mode and Professional Football Mode. You can also take it swimming – the display can react to wet fingers. Compared to the Honor Watch 5 Pro, highlights include the all-day HRV tracking, the blood sugar monitoring and cardiac arrest detection. And the dual-layer OLED display, of course.
The watch has a stainless steel body. Some versions have a two-tone ceramic design that is sintered onto the metal at 1,400°C. This is much more durable than the paint used in the other versions. The watch comes in five color/strap combos:
