Huawei Watch 6 Pro vs Honor Watch 5 Pro specs comparison
The Watch 6 Pro brings the more substantial health upgrade, adding cardiac arrest monitoring, Blood Pressure 2.0, more frequent HRV tracking and a much brighter dual-layer OLED display. The Watch 5 Pro still has one important advantage, an eSIM version, so it remains the better fit if standalone cellular connectivity matters.
