Welcome to our Honor Watch 6 review. I know, I know, we're a little late with this one. Okay, maybe a lot late, but in our defense, some of that tardiness comes from battery testing a watch with more than a month's worth of endurance.(or so Honor promised).That may be the Honor Watch 6's key selling point, and for good reason: charging your smartwatch once a month is about as close to having a regular watch as you can get. But I'm here to tell you that there's more to the Honor Watch 6 than simply its huge battery. It's what a watch needs to be. Note that I didn't say smartwatch there. A watch needs to be beautiful, functional, and reliable. And I'm of the strong mind that a watch needs to be affordable as well. To me, a watch is a tool to help me in my life, not a precious jewel to show off, or a status symbol. With that said, I think the Honor Watch 6 is about as close to a perfect smartwatch as you can get.
It ships with a charging puck, which sadly is straight out of 2024 with a USB-A connection and two magnetic pins, which you need to align to the watch. Luckily, the watch won't spend too much time on the charger. Design, display Honor went with a very classic design for the Watch 6. It comes in either Black or Brown - we have the black model, and it has a dark glossy aluminum casing with a stainless steel bezel. The brown model is all stainless steel and silver. It pairs nicely with the brown leather strap. The classic design means separate lugs for the strap, a crown in the upper right corner, an outer bezel, and an inner, graduated bezel with markings on it. The outer bezel on the silver (read brown) model draws inspiration from vintage racing cars, while the black model's bezel is inspired by supercar air ducts. I'd be happy with either model, but I'm a man. This bulky one-size 46mm watch may not be for a slender, feminine wrist. Weight is a related consideration. At 41 grams without the strap, the Honor Watch 6 won't go unnoticed. The brown model is 50 grams strapless.
The display is gorgeous. The glass on top is some form of scratch-resistant glass, but it's not sapphire crystal like on more expensive watches. I wasn't able to scratch it despite wearing it for two months. The bezel protrudes ever so slightly above the glass for protection. The screen is rated at up to 3,000 nits in automatic bright mode, and I found it to be perfectly usable in even the brightest of summer sun. There's an always-on mode for each watch face, and it's also nicely bright (unless you're in a very dark environment, where the display will match the light).The Watch 6 takes standard 22mm straps, which is nice! There are plenty of those available on the market should you want to switch things up. The provided fluororubber one is very nice and feels better than a regular €10 option on Amazon. There's also a speaker on the Honor Watch 6 for taking calls from your phone over Bluetooth. You can even listen to music through the speaker. Quality is okay, as you'd expect from a watch speaker. It will do for the occasional situation when you can't use your hands. The watch case handled my daily use without fuss and it's in pristine condition after two months of use. I wore the watch every day and night, did my workouts with it, and used it during a few of my weekly football matches. It gave me complete confidence during my testing period.
