The Honor Watch 5 has officially launched in select European nations, such as the UK, Spain, and Germany. This smartwatch was first presented at IFA 2024 in September, but details regarding its price and availability were not disclosed at that moment.
Display and Design Features
The Watch 5 features a bigger 1.85-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 460 x 390 px and a refresh rate of 60Hz. Its rectangular design, with the crown positioned on the upper right side, bears resemblance to the Apple Watch Series 10 (currently priced at $369 on Amazon). This latest model is said to boast improved accuracy in GPS location tracking compared to its predecessor. Users can track biometrics such as heart rate and blood oxygen levels, and there is a convenient one-click health scan option to quickly produce a report. Additionally, it offers sleep health monitoring and a daily morning summary that highlights key details from the previous day.
New Features and Battery Life
A new feature introduced in the Watch 5 is the Scenario Service cards, which provide quick access to functions like fitness tracking and weather updates. Moreover, the smartwatch has an enhanced estimated battery life of 15 days. Honor claims that the watch is equipped with a 5ATM waterproof rating and has IP68 dust and water resistance. The Honor Watch 5, which comes with 64MB+4GB storage and is available in black or gold silicone straps, can be purchased for £129.99/€149.00. If you prefer a version with a green leather strap, it is priced higher at £149.99/€169.00. The timeline for its release in other European markets remains uncertain.
Conclusion
Honor's latest offering aims to combine style and functionality, with various health tracking features and a sleek design. It's a watch that's worth considering for those looking to enhance their smartwatch experience.
