Honor launches two new smartwatches at the IFA 2020

The two new smartwatches join the Magic Watch in Honor's expanding wearables catalog. Rather than go with a does-it-all product, the Huawei sister company has chosen two target markets and made a watch specifically designed for those needs. The GS Pro will take on the likes of the Amazfit T-Rex, whilst the Watch ES looks like a competitor to the Amazfit GTS, the Oppo Watch, and the other square-face smartwatches.

Honor Watch GS Pro

The Honor Watch GS Pro is a rugged smartwatch designed to helps urban adventurers boost their performance and explore further outdoors. The brand says the GS Pro can reach up to 25 days of battery life, which would make the Honor GS Pro is one of the longest-lasting smartwatches currently available in the wearables market. The brand says that the Watch GS Pro still boasts a 48-hour battery life in outdoor GPS performance mode and an incredible 100-hour outdoor GPS power-saving battery life. The Honor Watch GS Pro can be fully charged in less than two hours.

The smartwatch comes with a 1.39-inch AMOLED round screen that is able to adapt to varying brightness levels, allowing ease of use when in the outdoors. The Watch GS Pro is also capable of forecasting ambient changes to the environment and will send alerts if severe weather is expected, as well as reminders on when the sun will rise and set.

The smartwatch passed 14 different MIL-STD-810G tests. It is built to withstand challenging environments and provide GPS route back, outdoor functions such as skiing mode, celestial data, and bad weather alerts to guide you in the wild. There are also some intuitive features to monitor your performance.

The Honor Watch GS Pro has been named as the Outdoor Innovation Wearable Gold Award by IFA. The Honor Watch GS Pro will be available for pre-order on Honor Watch GS Pro UK, Honor Watch GS Pro France, Honor Watch GS Pro Germany, Honor Watch GS Pro Italy, and Honor Watch GS Pro Spain from 7th September at an MSRP of €249.99, and will be available in Charcoal Black, Marl White, and Camo Blue.
