The smartwatch packs a 178mAh battery, and the company claims that it lasts up to 7-days of easy daily use. Instead of running WearOS, the Honor Watch Magic runs its own operating system. The smartwatch supports both Android (4.4 or above) and iOS (9 or later) devices using Bluetooth 4.2 LE. To recall, the Honor Watch Magic was launched in China in November last year.

Honor Band 4 Running Edition features
Honor Band 4 Running Edition has also been launched in India. It was first unveiled in China in September last year alongside the Honor Band 4 base variant. The vanilla variant was launched in India last month, and the Running Edition has now been made available as well.

Honor Band 4 Running Edition

The Honor Band 4 Running Edition incorporates fewer features than the Band 4 to bring down the price tag. The Honor Band 4 Running Edition sports a PMOLED display and it does not have a coloured display like the standard variant. It also does not house a heart rate sensor and NFC support. It is fuelled by a smaller 77mAh battery with up to 12 days of working time.

The Honor Band 4 Running Edition comes with a 6-axis sensor that offers improved running detection by measuring cadence, step length, ground contact time, foot strike pattern, landing impact, eversion excursion and swing angle. It is water resistant up to 50 meters, measures 40.5x14.8x11.2mm, and weighs 6 grams.
