Honor Watch 4 eSIM smartwatch launched with 1.75-inch screen, 10 days battery and more

On July 12, Honor launched Honor Watch 4, its first eSIM and the industry’s first dual SIM standby smartwatch. This wearable comes with a stylish design and native network communication.

Let’s first define the dual sim standby. Even if the connected smartphone is not with you, the watch can still receive dual-SIM message notifications and dual-SIM missed call notifications from the phone and can call back with a tap.

A regular smartwatch only comes with single SIM calls, and cannot receive SIM calls and SMS notifications from another SIM. This new tech also cuts down the smartwatch’s requirement for a smartphone connection. Because the connection remains unaffected by the distance.

The Honor Watch 4 supports a dual standby feature to conduct calls, SMS, and important message notifications of two SIMs on the phone simultaneously.

Currently, the situation with this concept is a bit complicated, whether the watch will support notification from both SIM on the phone. Or the company is counting the watch’s eSIM + a smartphone card as two? We’ll update the article with more information.

eSIM:

With native connectivity, the Honor Watch 4 supports the synchronization of important information such as SMS and missed calls and also supports quick SMS replies, real-time weather, and alarm clock reminders.
