Honor unveiled the Magic8 Pro Air and Magic8 RSR Porsche Edition in China yesterday. Along with the new smartphone, the company also introduced the Watch GS5, which succeeds the Watch GS3.

The smartwatch weighs just 26 grams, measures 9.9mm in thickness, has a single side button, and has an IP68 rating with 5ATM water resistance. It can be paired with black or khaki leather straps.

Honor claims that the Watch GS5 is the only smartwatch in the industry to support research for sudden cardiac arrest screening and also offer cardiovascular risk assessment. The company says its research team can provide telephone follow-up for high-risk users.

The watch provides early alerts for conditions such as atrial fibrillation, sleep apnea, premature beats, and irregular heart rhythms, while also providing 24/7 health monitoring for blood oxygen levels, stress, sleep HRV, and heart rate.

It has a 495mAh silicon-carbon battery which is claimed to last up to 23 days of usage without Always-On Display (AOD) and up to 9 days with AOD.

The Watch GS5 supports Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and five satellite positioning systems, and includes a built-in microphone and speaker for Bluetooth calling. It also has 4GB of internal storage and is compatible with smartphones running Android 6.0 or later, as well as iOS 9.0 and above.
