Honor, the popular smartphone brand, has made a comeback in India in 2023 under the HTech brand. This year, the company led by Madhav Sheth has launched its second smartphone, the Honor X9b 5G Watch, along with its first smartwatch, the Honor Choice Watch. Priced at Rs 6,499, the smartwatch boasts an AMOLED display, runs on the Android operating system, and offers a range of features typically found in mid-range smartwatches.
The Honor Choice Watch supports lifestyle features such as GPS, Bluetooth calling, and long battery life, as well as health and fitness features including SpO2 monitoring, heart rate tracking, sleep monitoring, and activity tracking. The watch has a sleek design with a rectangular dial and metallic texture, weighing just 45 grams for comfortable all-day wear.
With 5ATM water resistance, the Honor Choice Watch can withstand splashes and sweat during workouts. The smartwatch’s 1.95-inch rectangular AMOLED display delivers crisp, colorful images and is bright enough for outdoor use even in strong sunlight. While the display does not support brightness adjustment, it provides a smooth and clear visual experience.
The Honor Choice Watch requires pairing with a smartphone via Bluetooth to unlock its full potential. The setup process may be a bit slow, but once connected, the watch syncs with the companion app for seamless functionality. The smartwatch excels in Bluetooth calling, offering clear audio and hassle-free call management directly from the screen.
In terms of health tracking, the Honor Choice Watch provides accurate monitoring of sleep, heart rate, and SpO2 levels, along with fitness features like a pedometer and multiple training modes. The watch also includes lifestyle features such as a built-in calculator, compass, voice recorder, and music player for added convenience.
With a battery life lasting about a week on a single charge, the Honor Choice Watch lives up to its claims of long-lasting performance. Overall, the smartwatch offers a comprehensive set of features for users looking to stay connected, track their health, and enhance their daily activities.
