This is a very light square smartwatch with a silicon-carbon battery.
The HONOR Watch 5 is one of the recipients of our ‘Best of IFA 2024’ awards. HONOR announced several products at IFA 2024, most of which were already announced in China. This was their global debut. That was not the case with the HONOR Watch 5. This smartwatch had its global debut at IFA 2024. If you’re a fan of square watches, rather than round ones, this one may appeal to you.
The HONOR Watch 5 is really well-built and very light
I’m currently wearing this watch, as I’m typing this, and that has been the case for days now. I have to say that it’s very comfortable, and design-wise, HONOR did a very nice job. That’s completely unsurprising, but it’s worth noting, of course. This watch is not only very comfortable and stealthy, but it also has a lot to offer in terms of features. HONOR made sure everything important is on board.
This watch weighs only 35 grams, so if you don’t like heavy smartwatches, this is the product for you. It is only 11m thick and has a very nice looking 1.85-inch AMOLED display on the front. HONOR also uses a silicon-carbon battery on the inside, which should offer a 15-day battery life, according to the company. Despite the fact that’s a 480mAh battery, the watch is very lightweight. That’s one of the benefits of silicon-carbon batteries that HONOR has been using in its foldable phones for several generations now.
All the health-tracking features you’d expect are included
Yes, you’re getting a physical button that also doubles as a rotating crown. GPS tracking is on board too, and so is the ‘One-click Health Scan’ option. Sleep tracking is not a problem either. HONOR’s Turbo X AI Power Management helps with battery life too, making possible 15-day battery life. Heart rate tracking is also one of the features here, and the same goes for SpO2 measuring.
There is also a speaker embedded into the watch, and the same goes for a microphone that is on the opposite side. This watch has a lot of potential based on what we’ve seen thus far, and it gives users more options in the rectangular smartwatch category.
