Honor introduces Watch ES, Watch GS Pro to India

Honor introduced the Watch ES and the Watch GS Pro at IFA 2020 a month ago and the two wearables were available at select European markets. Today the brand announced the duo’s presence is expanding, and the next country to get them in India.

The Honor watch GS Pro comes with its massive battery, rugged design, and tracking for over 100 sports. It also has a long battery life, a simplified OS, and a built-in speaker and mic for Bluetooth calls. When we reviewed the smartwatch, it is as good as it gets in the hands of average hiking enthusiasts and you can also find phone price comparison also.

The wearable will cost INR17,999 (that’s about €205 - 20% cheaper than the price in Europe) and will appear on October 16 at Flipkart.

The watch arrives as a more affordable daily option that is for health enthusiasts and looks casual, blending with the outwear, unlike its rugged sibling that definitely stands out. It has the same OS and also promises long battery life thanks to the Kirin A1 chipset.

The Honor Watch ES comes in Meteorite Black, Coral Pink and Icelandic White (both band and casing), offers up to 10 days of battery life, Huawei's TruSeen 4.0 heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring, a 1.64-inch AMOLED display, full 5ATM waterproofing and extensive support for workout tracking.

Honor have bundled the Watch ES in a simple box with a proprietary charging cable - no alternative bands nor a charger have been provided.

I put on the Honor Watch ES and forgot it was there 5 minutes later. At just 21g it's incredibly light and barely any more noticeable than a fitness band.

The Honor Watch ES' rectangle shape is among the best for a smart wearable. It simultaneously accommodates a bigger screen, while being a better fit for a wrist than a square or circular shape. This is especially noticeable during workout sessions.

The Honor Watch ES is very narrow at just 30mm. This is a sweet spot for a fitness band as you get both a big display (especially compared to something like an Honor Band 5) and a light body.

I gave the Honor Watch ES to a couple of women to try and it turned out a bit big for their wrists. Of course the fit depends on your wrist, so take that for what it's worth.

However, its display is much larger than any fitness band's and, thanks to its slight curvature, lovely to touch and use. The 1.64-inch AMOLED screen gets plenty bright if manually set to its maximum setting, but I left it at Auto and found it adequate.

The wearable went through our review process and we wholeheartedly recommended it as a daily driver. The price here is INR7,499 (€87) and will also appear next Friday, October 16, but on Amazon India.

The markets where the Watch GS Pro can be purchased are the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. Fans in the UK have to shed the full price for the watch, but they get Honor Magic Earbuds in a color of their choice, as well as Red Bluetooth earphones and an honor router 3. If purchased separately, all these would set back the buyer almost £499.

The Honor Watch GS Pro is currently available in Charcoal Black or Marl White, but the brand promised two more options in October - Camo Blue and Camo Grey. The difference between the first duo and the upcoming versions is the design Camo strap, as well as entirely new colors of the watch. France, Italy, and Spain have it easiest to remember - the wearable is 20% off and costs €199 for two more days, until the end of Wednesday.

The two new colors were applied with a Dope Dyeing technique that is more environmentally friendly and, at the same time, offering more vibrant color and enhanced resistance to wear and tear. Source Https://gsmarena.com
