Huawei Watch 6 & Watch 6 Pro: Which of the two new smartwatches is ideal for you?

Were you thinking of upgrading your watch and wondering if the right time has come?

Huawei returns δυναμically and presents the new Huawei Watch 6 and Huawei Watch 6 Pro, two models that combine top design, impressive battery life, and advanced health features. 

Huawei Watch 6

If you're looking for a versatile and stylish option for your everyday life, the standard Huawei Watch 6 is available in two sizes: 42mm (with a 1.38-inch display) and 46mm (with a 1.5-inch display). The smaller model features an aluminum alloy case, while the larger one uses stainless steel. Both are protected by sapphire crystal and have a synthetic back.

  • Everything for your health: With the new 12-channel X-TAP sensor, you can perform a full health checkup (Micro Health Checkup) in just 60 seconds. It covers heart rate, blood oxygen (SpO2), stress levels, electrocardiogram (ECG), as well as irregular heartbeat analysis.

  • Connectivity & Software: Thanks to HarmonyOS, you can give voice commands to Celia AI, use eSIM to make calls without your phone, pay contactlessly with NFC, and connect quickly via NearLink.

  • Battery & Durability: You don't need to worry about water, as it is certified with 5 ATM, IP68/IP69, and can withstand dives up to 40 meters. The battery lasts up to 3 days (on the 42mm model) or 4.5 days (on the 46mm) with typical use, while power saving extends it to 7 and 11 days respectively.

How does it compare with the Huawei Watch 5?

  • Different materials: In the Watch 6, Huawei more clearly separates the categories. If you want titanium or ceramic, you’ll need to go for the Pro, as the base model now focuses on aluminum and steel.

  • More accurate measurements: The X-TAP sensor doubles the measurement channels (from 4 to 12), so you get much faster and more accurate readings compared with the Watch 5.

  • Brighter display: With the new LTPO 2.0 AMOLED display that reaches up to 3,500 nits of peak brightness, everything is crystal clear even under strong sunlight.

Huawei Watch 6 Pro

If you’re looking for the ultimate premium feel and love outdoor activities, the Huawei Watch 6 Pro is made for you. You’ll find it in 43mm with a nano-ceramic case or in 46mm with an aerospace-grade titanium alloy case. Both models feature a ceramic back and a spherical sapphire crystal.

  • The best ally for the outdoors: If you enjoy adventures, you’ll love the Outdoor Adventure app. You can import your own routes, use offline maps without an internet connection, set waypoints, and safely return with track-back navigation. At the same time, you get specialized profiles for golf, diving (freediving), and skiing.

  • Colors that stand out: The 43mm model is available in Ceramic White and Starlight White, while the 46mm titanium model comes in the striking Space Exploration, Jupiter Brown, and Space Silver shades.

How does it compare with previous generations & the standard Watch 6?

  • Exclusive premium materials: If you want titanium, a ceramic case, and high-durability sapphire, the Pro series is your only choice.

  • Standalone navigation: You get offline maps and advanced outdoor navigation tools, which are missing from the basic Watch 6.

  • Top-tier durability & brightness: With 3,500 nits of brightness and reinforced construction materials, it withstands the harshest conditions without showing any signs of scratches.
