During the MagicBook Pro 16 “HUNTER Edition” launch in China, Honor hinted at two new smartwatches. The company also released a dark teaser image showing the silhouettes of two different smartwatch models. Both models are anticipated to launch as part of “two brand new series,” in addition to the powerful laptop. The teaser suggests a design-forward strategy that might complement the high-end appearance of the Watch 5 Ultra.
Honor Smartwatches: Design hints suggest bold form factors
With a prominent crown and a physical button on the right side beneath it, the first smartwatch seen in the teaser has a geometric case that is probably octagonal. The sportier aesthetic suggested by the rugged exterior and bold lines may appeal to active users or those who like more durable wearables.
The Watch 5 Ultra, which Honor showcased at MWC 2025 in March, is strikingly similar to this model, according to observers. This suggests that Honor may be getting ready to release the Watch 5 Ultra or a design variant with a comparable profile.
A second watch with a more traditional, round design sits next to the sporty model. Although the teaser only provides a partial view, this device seems to have a unique lug shape and a minimal-bezel display. It implies a more sophisticated and perhaps fashion-forward substitute for the original model. The visual contrast between the two suggests that Honor will target distinct user segments with this upcoming pair. However, there are no technical specs for these devices at the moment.
Watch 5 Ultra: nearing release or reused design?
The Watch5 Ultra, which boasts a grade 5 titanium case and long battery life, is still the subject of speculation. It first debuted at MWC 2025 and demonstrated Honor’s emphasis on high-end materials and user experience. There is a close similarity between the Watch 5 Ultra and the teased octagonal model. This is fueling the idea that Honor might be preparing to release the Watch 5 Ultra, or at least use it as inspiration.
Though it only provides design clues, the teaser image confirms the existence of two new smartwatch series. But now that Honor’s marketing cycle is underway, more information and formal declarations are probably on the horizon. Honor is getting ready to grow its line of smart wearables. The new devices may not add new features or improve upon those that are already there, such as the Watch 5 Ultra.
