Is the Huawei Watch 6 an upgrade over the Watch 5?

It depends what you value. The case material is a genuine step down: titanium and ceramic are gone entirely, at the same price. Software gains three new opt-in health studies and a more responsive X-TAP sensor, none of which exist on the Watch 5.

Is battery life better on the Huawei Watch 6?

No. Battery life is identical to the Watch 5 at the same case size and mode, with the same figures in Standard and Battery saver modes.

Does the Huawei Watch 6 have a titanium case option?

No. The Watch 6 uses aluminium alloy (42mm) or stainless steel (46mm) only. The Watch 5’s titanium and ceramic tier has been removed entirely.

What health features are new on the Huawei Watch 6?

Three opt-in research studies via the HUAWEI Research app: coronary heart disease, diabetes risk and hypertension risk, alongside a confirmed Pulse Wave Arrhythmia Analysis feature and a 12-channel X-TAP sensor Huawei states is twice as responsive.
