Smartwatch with blood pressure monitor and 15-day battery: Honor Watch 5 Pro appears in new pictures
Honor already confirmed some details on the Honor Watch 5 Pro back in September. Shortly before the launch on October 15, Honor has now confirmed most specifications and released many pictures showing several variants of the smartwatch. Apparently, the wearable will be available in at least three versions. One comes with a silver case, the other has a bezel with black color accents, while the third sports a gold-colored case with green accents.
Honor opted for a more or less classic watch design with a metal case and a bezel marked with minute indicators. A digital crown and an additional button are placed on the right side. The watch is available with either a leather or a sports band. The pictures already show a climbing activity as well as complications that display a compass, actively burned calories and the current altitude, among other things.
Honor has also listed the most important specifications on Qinxuan. The Honor Watch 5 Pro measures 46mm, and the case is 0.44 inches thick, weighs 1.8 oz and is water-resistant up to 5 ATM. Honor advertises a round 1.5-inch AMOLED panel with a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels and a 515mAh battery that supposedly lasts up to 15 days on a full charge. Meanwhile, an integrated LTE modem with an eSIM allows users to access the internet on the go, even without a smartphone.
Honor Watch 5 Pro takes blood pressure measurements
The Honor Watch 5 Pro has 64MB of memory, 8GB of mass storage and built-in microphones and speakers. The smartwatch could be particularly interesting because of its comprehensive health features. Similar to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 (from $314 on Amazon), the Honor Watch 5 Pro can measure heart rate and blood oxygen saturation and perform an electrocardiogram (ECG), but it can also measure blood pressure.
New teaser images from Honor show that the smartwatch provides specific measurements, including an assessment of whether the blood pressure is too high or too low. The corresponding smartphone app offers tips on how to raise or lower blood pressure. However, Honor likely uses an optical PPG sensor to determine blood pressure, similar to Samsung, so users should treat these measurements as approximate values.
