Honor launches Watch 6 with 35-day battery life

Honor has launched its latest smartwatch, the Honor Watch 6, bringing a significant focus on extended battery life and a comprehensive suite of health and fitness features. The device became available for purchase on Thursday, June 18, 2026, in select markets including the United Kingdom and Germany.

The smartwatch is distinguished by its large 980mAh battery, which the company claims can deliver up to 35 days of typical use on a single charge. This represents a substantial increase over its predecessor, the Honor Watch 5 Ultra, which featured a 480mAh battery. The new model is also lighter and slimmer, weighing 41 grams and measuring 10.8mm thick, constructed from recycled aluminum alloy with stainless steel elements.

Available in two color variants, Shadow Black with a fluoroelastomer strap and Twilight Brown with a leather strap, the watch features a 1.46-inch circular OLED display with a peak brightness of 3,000 nits. The touchscreen is designed to function with wet fingers, and the device includes wrist-twist gestures for hands-free control of alarms, calls, and music. It carries an IP69 rating for water and dust resistance, suitable for pool and beachside swimming.
