Honor has given the Watch 6 Plus a more specialized identity with a Motorcycle Edition that keeps the same core hardware and features as the standard model. The difference is not in performance, but in the visual and functional touches aimed at riders.
That approach makes the new version feel less like a simple color swap and more like a targeted product for users who live close to the motorcycling world. Honor first launched the Watch 6 Plus in May with five color options, and this new edition adds a clearer personality to the lineup.
A collaboration built around riding culture
To shape the Motorcycle Edition, Honor worked with Zhang Xue, a professional racer from China and the founder of the ZXMOTO motorcycle brand. That partnership gives the watch a stronger connection to riding and racing culture than the regular model.
The most visible changes are in the design and the extra themes built into the device. According to gsmarena.com, the base specifications remain unchanged, but the special edition adds details that make it stand out on the wrist.
| Feature / Detail | Standard Watch 6 Plus | Watch 6 Plus Motorcycle Edition |
|---|---|---|
| Core specifications and features | Same | Same |
| Design | Standard look | Motorcycle-themed design |
| Exclusive elements | Not specified | ZXMOTO logo boot animation, overspeed warning, engine sound effects, Motorcycle Sport Mode |
Extra functions for riders
The special edition includes a boot animation with the ZXMOTO logo, along with an overspeed warning designed to support safer riding. It also adds engine sound effects for a more track-inspired feel.
Honor has included Motorcycle Sport Mode as the most obvious rider-focused feature, making the edition more than just a cosmetic refresh. The watch is priced at CNY1,599 in China and is already available for pre-order through Honor’s official website.
Shipping is scheduled to begin on July 22, which gives the Motorcycle Edition a clear launch window for buyers who want the themed version instead of the standard model.
