Honor Watch 5 new smartwatch with larger AMOLED display launches in Europe

The Honor Watch 5 is now available in some European countries, including the UK, Spain and Germany. The smartwatch was unveiled at IFA 2024 in September, though the pricing and release date were not provided at the time.

The Watch 5 has a larger 1.85-inch AMOLED display with a 460 x 390 px resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate. The rectangular shape with the crown placed on the upper right-hand side is reminiscent of the Apple Watch Series 10 (curr. $369 on Amazon). Compared to its predecessor, the latest watch is said to have more accurate GPS location tracking. You can monitor biometrics like heart rate and blood oxygen level, with a one-click health scan to quickly generate a report. There is also sleep health tracking and a daily morning report with a snapshot of the previous day.

Another addition is the new Scenario Service cards, providing shortcuts to features like fitness tracking or weather forecasts. Plus, the wearable has a slightly longer estimated battery life of 15 days. According to Honor, the watch has 5ATM waterproof and IP68 dust and water resistance ratings. You can now buy the Honor Watch 5 64MB+4GB with a black or gold silicone strap for £129.99/€149.00. A version with a green leather strap is more expensive at £149.99/€169.00. It is unclear when the product will roll out to other European countries.
