Honor has announced the western release of the Honor Watch 6, following its Chinese announcement<\/a> in late May 2026. <\/p>\n While the Honor Watch 6 is not expected to get a U.S. release, the Honor Watch 6 sells for \u00a3229.99 (black) or \u00a3249.99 (brown) in the UK, equivalent to around $331 in a direct currency conversion. It is also available at a \u00a370 \u201cearly bird\u201d discount, bringing it to \u00a3159.99\/\u00a3179.99, until June 30. <\/p>\n The brown edition costs a little more as it has a steel case and steel bezel in place of a steel bezel and aluminium case, seen in the black version. It also has a part-leather strap. <\/p>\n Initially the Honor Watch 6 is likely to seem familiar to those with some experience of this series. It\u2019s an OLED screen watch with a round display and metal casing \u2014 much like 2025\u2019s Honor Watch 5 Pro<\/a>. <\/p>\n Battery capacity is this generation\u2019s major leap. The Honor Watch 6 has a 980mAh battery, compared to just 515mah in the Watch 5 Pro, despite being fractionally slimmer at 10.8mm thickness. It\u2019s significantly thicker at the sensor mound, but this is the one dimension Honos provides. <\/p>\n This high battery capacity allows for 35-day battery life, where around two weeks is the traditional standard for this style of watch. However that top claim relates to \u201clong-endurance usage scenarios\u201d where \u201ctypical\u201d usage is expected to see around 17-day stamina. <\/p>\n Other features of the Honor Watch 6 include dual-band GPS, peak 3,000-nit brightness, a microphone with noice note feature and NFC for wireless payments. <\/p>\n The most interesting part of this watch is perhaps in considering when its high density battery tech may come to more power-hungry watches, like the Apple Watch Ultra<\/a>. <\/p>\n Apple\u2019s Watch Ultra 3 has battery capacity of around 599mAh. A jump to 980mAh would represent at 63 per cent increase, and quite probably the biggest increase to real-world stamina since the series\u2019s inception. <\/p>\n There is another question mark over when non-Chinese companies like Apple and Samsung will more aggressively adopt these higher-capacity battery technologies. <\/p>\n While Honor has not stated what kind of battery composition the Watch 6 uses, a Silicon-Carbon design has been at the root of recent jumps in phone battery capacity. The Honor 600 Pro<\/a> for example, has a 7000mAh battery despite being just 7.8mm thick. <\/p>\n
