Honor has announced on Twitter through its two separate tweets that the brand will launch the MagicWatch 2 and the Band 5i in the Indian market on January 14.
The Honor MagicWatch 2 made its debut back in November, whereas, the Honor Band 5i was launched alongside the Honor 20 Youth Edition in October last year. As you might have guessed, the MagicWatch 2 is a full-fledged smartwatch, which is currently the flagship offering in the category from the brand. The Honor Band 5i, on the other hand, is a fitness tracker and comes as a more affordable version of the range-topping Honor Band 5.

Unlike other non-Apple smartwatches in the market, which run on Google’s Android Wear OS, the Honor MagicWatch 2 features Huawei’s custom wearable operating system. Apart from keeping track of time, you can use the smartwatch to track your fitness activities and sleep cycle, get notified of the alerts you receive on your smartphone, and for taking calls on it. The MagicWatch 2 comes in two sizes – 42mm and 46mm. It costs CNY 1,099 in China for the base version, and you can expect it to come with a similar price tag in the Indian market.

The Honor Band 5i is an affordable fitness tracker – costing CNY 159 in China. Honor already sells the more advanced, Band 5 in the Indian market at INR 2,399. So, you can expect the Band 5i to launch in the country at a significantly lesser price tag – may be INR 1,999 or less. What sets the Band 5i from other fitness trackers is that it has an inbuilt USB Type-A port, which makes charging the fitness tracker extremely easy. The Band 5i has a color touchscreen display, customizable watch faces, fitness and sleep tracking capabilities, among other things.
