The Honor Watch 4 has finally reached European shores, bringing along its impressive set of features that have been making waves in the smartwatch market. Last month, it made its debut in China, receiving accolades for its sleek design and advanced functionalities. However, as it crosses over to Europe, it seems that not all the features have made the transition.

The standout feature of the Honor Watch 4, which captured the attention of tech enthusiasts in China, was its eSIM support. This feature allowed the smartwatch to have independent cellular connectivity without the need for a smartphone. Users could make calls, send messages, and receive app notifications directly on the watch, without being tethered to their phones. However, disappointingly, the European variant of the Watch 4 lacks eSIM support, leaving users in the region without access to these conveniences.
Additionally, another feature that’s missing from the European version is built-in WiFi connectivity. In the Chinese version, the Watch 4 offered WiFi support in addition to Bluetooth, giving users more options for seamless connectivity. But in Europe, the smartwatch relies solely on Bluetooth 5.2 for connecting with smartphones, limiting some of its functionalities.
Despite these omissions, the Honor Watch 4 remains an impressive piece of wearable tech. It comes with a sleek aluminum frame and a large 1.75-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 450x390px. The high pixel density of 340 PPI and a refresh rate of 60 Hz ensure that the visuals are sharp and the interface is smooth.
One of the highlights of the Watch 4 is its 5ATM waterproof rating, making it suitable for swimming and other water-based activities. It also boasts essential health monitoring features, including heart rate monitoring, blood-oxygen monitoring, and sleep tracking. Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the GPS support, allowing them to accurately track their outdoor activities.
The smartwatch also features a 451 mAh battery that can last up to 14 days with typical usage patterns, thanks to its power-efficient components and optimizations.
Despite the absence of eSIM and WiFi support in the European version, the Honor Watch 4 still offers an array of useful features, making it an appealing choice for those seeking a stylish and high-performance smartwatch. The starting price of €149.90 makes it a competitive option in the market, and it is available in the elegant black color option in Europe.
