The Honor Watch 6 Pro has officially debuted in China with a focus on advanced health monitoring, featuring optical sensors capable of detecting potential cardiac arrests and alerting emergency contacts. Launched on September 28, 2026, the new wearable follows the May release of the Watch 6 Plus, shifting the product line’s primary emphasis toward medical-grade tracking features and biometric analysis.
Cardiac Arrest Detection and Emergency Response
The standout feature of the Honor Watch 6 Pro is its warning system for potential cardiac arrests, which evaluates optical sensor signals gathered at the wrist. According to reports from Notebookcheck, the device first issues strong vibrations when unusual readings occur. Borncity noted that the system employs a four-stage warning framework, triggering acoustic and visual alerts for nearby individuals during high-risk scenarios. When the smartwatch detects an elevated risk level, it can automatically call pre-set emergency contacts and display instructions for cardiopulmonary resuscitation alongside guidance on using a defibrillator. This emergency functionality requires a connection to a paired smartphone, while Borncity also highlighted bidirectional satellite communication capabilities for users without cellular reception. Utilizing this specialized cardiac arrest monitoring system requires enrollment in a dedicated research program organized by Honor.
Blood Pressure AI Analysis and External Sensors
Alongside cardiac monitoring, the smartwatch introduces a feature designated as “Blood Pressure 2.0.” This system tracks blood pressure fluctuations throughout the day, utilizing artificial intelligence to analyze correlations with daily activities, schedules, and additional lifestyle factors. Continuous glucose data can also be displayed on the screen, though the device relies on a compatible external Sinocare continuous glucose monitoring sensor and a separate application rather than performing independent blood glucose measurements. Smartphones24 reported that the device includes continuous heart rate variability tracking, an electrocardiogram function, fall and crash detection, and alerts for absent pulses.
Hardware Specifications and Design Variations
The Honor Watch 6 Pro features a 1.5-inch dual-layer OLED display with a resolution of 466 by 466 pixels, achieving a global peak brightness of 4,500 nits and local peaks up to 5,500 nits. Navigation and tracking rely on a dual-frequency GNSS positioning system equipped with three antennas. Smartphones24 noted that the watch includes dedicated training modes for trail running, badminton, and football, alongside swim-proofing. The chassis is constructed from stainless steel, with select models featuring dual-tone ceramic elements across five distinct design variants.
Battery Performance and Pricing Details
For everyday use, Notebookcheck reports that the battery lasts up to ten days, while switching to an aggressive maximum power-saving mode can extend longevity up to 18 days. In the Chinese market, the standard retail price is set at 1,799 Yuan, with an introductory promotion lowering the cost to 1,699 Yuan—approximately 220 euros or 208 Swiss francs. Honor has not yet confirmed international availability, pricing, or release dates for European markets.
