Verdict

The Honor Band 6 features a large 1.47-inch AMOLED touchscreen with a 194 x 368 resolution, 2.5D curved glass, and a lightweight 18g polymer body. It is equipped with SpO2 and 24/7 heart rate monitoring via TruSeen 4.0, TruSleep tracking, stress monitoring, and 5 ATM water resistance. Main pros include its exceptional 14-day battery life with magnetic fast charging, a vivid display that bridges the gap between a band and a smartwatch, and reliable auto-detection for six workout types among its 10 professional sports modes. However, it lacks built-in GPS, does not support an always-on display, and some smart features like remote camera shutter or music control are limited to specific Android or Honor devices.
