HONOR has launched the HONOR Watch 6 in the UK, bringing a lightweight design, advanced health tracking, and up to 35 days of battery life.

Built for sports and outdoor activities

The HONOR Watch 6 features a Racing Dashboard Design inspired by high-performance air intakes. It uses a recyclable aluminum alloy body and weighs as little as 41g.

HONOR says the smartwatch supports more than 120 sports modes, including dedicated modes for trail running, badminton, and football.

Trail runners can take advantage of an AI running coach, route deviation alerts, climbing metrics, and dual-band six-star GPS tracking. Meanwhile, badminton players can track smash speeds and rally statistics, while football players get access to heat maps and trajectory maps after matches.

The smartwatch also features IP69 water and dust resistance alongside 5ATM water resistance for added durability during outdoor activities.

One of the headline features is battery life. HONOR claims the Watch 6 can last up to 35 days on a single charge thanks to its 980mAh battery.

Health tracking and smart features

The HONOR Watch 6 includes continuous monitoring for heart rate, blood oxygen, stress levels, and sleep tracking.

Users can also perform a Quick Health Scan to generate a snapshot of key health indicators. An automatic daily report summarizes health data collected throughout the day.

According to HONOR, its IntelliSense system improves signal acquisition for more precise heart rate and blood flow monitoring.

The smartwatch also packs several productivity-focused features.

These include dual-phone pairing, an AI Recorder capable of generating voice notes and summaries, wrist-twist gesture controls, and NFC support for Mastercard and Visa payments.

Meanwhile, the display reaches up to 3,000 nits of brightness for improved visibility outdoors. Users can also personalize the watch using Video Watch Faces created from short videos or live photos.

Price and availability

The smartwatch starts at £169.99 (around US$230) beginning June 18, 2026. As part of an early bird promotion, HONOR is offering an £80 discount plus a free pair of HONOR Choice Earbuds Clip, valued at £59.99. The HONOR Watch 6 carries a regular retail price of £249.99.

The Anker soundcore AeroClip 2 is now available in the Philippines. These open-ear clip-on earbuds combine lightweight comfort, AI-powered call technology, and an IP57 rating for everyday listening, workouts, and commutes.

Unlike conventional earbuds that sit inside the ear canal, the AeroClip 2 clips onto the outer ear. This design allows users to listen to music and take calls while remaining aware of their surroundings.

Lightweight design for all-day comfort

The soundcore AeroClip 2 weighs just 6.2 grams per earbud. Its open-ear clip-on design is engineered to stay securely in place during daily activities, including commuting, walking, and exercising.

Anker developed the earbuds using a database of more than 2,000 ear profiles and tested them on over 1,000 users. The earbuds have also undergone more than 10,000 flex tests to assess their durability.

Immersive audio with customizable sound

The AeroClip 2 features 12mm dual-magnetic drivers, Hi-Res Audio certification, and LDAC support for compatible Android devices. Users can also personalize their listening experience through soundcore’s HearID 5.0 technology.

Its open-ear design allows users to enjoy music and podcasts without completely blocking out ambient sounds. This makes the earbuds suitable for everyday listening and outdoor activities where environmental awareness remains important.

AI-powered call clarity

For users who frequently take calls while commuting or working outside the office, the AeroClip 2 features soundcore’s THUS AI chip and 6-Sensor Call Technology.

These technologies are designed to isolate the user’s voice and reduce distracting background noise during calls.

The earbuds have also received a Guinness World Records certification as the “World’s Clearest Open-Ear Clip-On Earbuds for Calls.”

Nap Mode for quick breaks

The AeroClip 2 includes a Nap Mode that lets users listen to offline white noise through the earbuds.

Price and availability in the Philippines

The Anker soundcore AeroClip 2 is now available in the Philippines for PHP 9,995. It comes in four colors: Burgundy Red, Midnight Black, Cloud White, and Mist Blue.

Garmin Approach S72 brings swing metrics, green reading to your wrist

Meet the newest flagship golf watch with a built-in speaker!

Published

on

Garmin has unveiled the Approach S72, its new flagship golf smartwatch.

It comes in 43mm and 47mm sizes, and both have bright AMOLED displays. The watch also gets a titanium bezel, a sapphire lens, and a new lightweight ComfortFit fabric band.

Swing and heart rate data on the course

The Approach S72 adds on-wrist swing metrics, including hand speed, backswing length, and wrist rotation. Garmin says the idea is to help you change your swing based on real data instead of feel alone.

Real-time heart rate is part of the picture too. You can see how your heart rate changes before and after each shot, and once the round is over, you can look back at trends in how it may have affected your score.

The Approach S72 also covers everyday health tracking with its wrist-based heart rate and stress tracking, plus Body Battery energy monitoring and advanced sleep monitoring. It also comes with preloaded activity profiles for strength and mobility work.

Reading greens and reviewing rounds

A new green reading feature uses green contour data to show which direction a putt will break, along with the average slope percentage, which should make picking an aim point quicker.

This requires an active Garmin Golf Membership. After a round, the Garmin Golf app can show putting analytics like speed bias, direction bias, and make rate.

Aerial imagery of each hole is also included, so you can see real photos when deciding where to lay up or where the safest miss is.

Driving range sessions can be logged to the Garmin Connect app as well. You’ll get swing metrics and tendencies there, and the practice time counts toward your fitness goals.

Built to wear all day

The titanium bezel is light enough that Garmin says it won’t get in the way of a swing.

The Approach S72 also has a speaker and microphone, so you can make and take calls and use voice commands on or off the course. Garmin calls it the first of its golf smartwatches to offer this.

A built-in flashlight has variable white light intensities and a red light, which comes in handy for finding gear in your bag or lighting up a dark spot.

On battery life, Garmin says the larger model lasts up to 20 hours with GPS on the course and up to 16 days with GPS off.

Price, availability

The Garmin Approach S72 will be available starting October 22 for PhP 52,990. You can buy it at garmin.com, Garmin Brand Stores, Garmin Specialty Stores, and Garmin’s official e-commerce platforms.

Garmin Enduro 4 promises up to 320 hours of battery life

Solar charging, new stamina metrics, and a 66-gram build for long days on the trail.

Published

on

Garmin has announced the Enduro 4, the newest GPS smartwatch in its long-lasting Enduro line.

It pairs an energy-efficient 1.4-inch MIP display with a solar lens, and can last up to 320 hours in activity mode or up to 90 days in smartwatch mode.

Power modes that match your effort

The Enduro 4 introduces preset power modes, so you can choose how much battery you’re willing to trade for performance.

Max Accuracy turns on full-feature tracking for shorter efforts, and Max Battery stretches recording time for longer outings. The 320-hour figure comes from Max Battery with solar charging.

Built for hilly terrain

Two new grade-adjusted features are aimed at runners who spend their time on climbs. Grade-adjusted pace-based workout targets help you stay in your effort range when the trail tilts upward, and grade-adjusted rolling pace shows your pace in real time as the terrain changes.

The watch also adds stamina zones, which show how your stamina affected a given activity. Stamina curve looks at the bigger picture, charting how your endurance changes over time based on your fitness and training history.

Faster maps, plus a way to log longer adventures

Garmin gave the Enduro 4 50% more RAM than the Enduro 3 and an updated map engine. Garmin claims panning is up to 30% faster on the built-in routable maps.

A new perspective view adds detail both close-up and farther out, which makes it easier to see what’s coming next on the route.

For longer trips, Garmin Epic lets you combine multiple activities into one entry in Garmin Connect. You can group them across days, weeks, or months, add photos, share the story with family and friends, and see the health and performance data collected over that stretch.

Indoor rowers get VO2 max and power curve, and ruckers can now adjust pack weight mid-activity and set target metrics like calories burned.

Lightweight, with a new band

Garmin lists the Enduro 4 at 66 grams, which it says makes it one of the lightest ultraperformance smartwatches around.

The 51mm case is made of fiber-reinforced polymer, topped with a titanium bezel and a scratch-resistant Power Sapphire lens. It also has an integrated LED flashlight with white and red options, and a 10 ATM water resistance rating.

The new ComfortFit Fabric Band is moisture-wicking and uses QuickFit, so swapping bands is simple. Onboard storage is 64 GB, which gives you room for maps, music, and data when you’re away from home for a while.

Price, availability

The Garmin Enduro 4 will be available starting November 3 for PhP 56,290. You can buy it at garmin.com, Garmin Brand Stores, Garmin Specialty Stores, and Garmin’s official e-commerce platforms.
