Honor Watch 6 Plus leaks: giant battery, round face, and robot marathon test

According to insider reports, Honor is preparing to launch new smartwatches called the Honor Watch 6 Plus, which could stand out from competitors thanks to their battery life. The device is expected in May, and leaks suggest a larger battery as the key feature.

This information comes from a well-known source, Digital Chat Station. The watches reportedly underwent an unusual test: they were used on a Honor robot named Lightning, which ran a half-marathon. This approach was meant to showcase both the device's design and its reliability under real-world stress.

The main upgrade is the battery. Honor is said to use its proprietary Qinghai Lake technology, which could make the Watch 6 Plus the smartwatch with the highest battery capacity. If confirmed, it would address a major industry issue: insufficient battery life.

Design-wise, the watch is expected to switch to a round face, giving it a more classic look. It will likely retain and improve health features, including continuous monitoring of metrics like blood pressure and early warning systems for potential heart problems.

The watch will also offer improved sports modes and smarter activity analysis. The algorithms won't just track data but provide recommendations, such as when to increase or decrease training intensity.

All of this is based on leaks, and final specifications may change. However, it's clear that Honor is focusing on battery life and practicality, exactly what many modern smartwatches lack.
