In addition to the Magic V2 foldable smartphone, Honor also announced the Watch 4, the company’s first smartwatch powered by MagicOS.. This smart watch features a square dial with soft curves around the edges and an aluminum frame.
The Watch 4 has a large 1.75 inch AMOLED display with support for over 400 watch faces to customize your experience. The watch supports e-SIM, which means you can use it to make calls even without a smartphone, and has GPS for routing.
Without the richness of a real app store, this limits the potential of an LTE connection to calls and messages. Smartwatches like the Apple Watch allow streaming music and podcasts on the go, but that’s not the case here.
The Honor Watch 4 offers 85 sports modes, 12 professional workouts and works with the Honor Sports and Health app, which offers various health information like running, fat burning, sleep, etc. The company says it used a self-developed integrated microlens array for the rear sensors to ensure accurate readings.
There smart watch also offers autonomy of 10 days.
