The Honor Watch 5 Ultra looks stunning, but the software drops the ball


Honor unveiled its latest smartwatch at MWC 2025, and it’s turning heads.

The Watch 5 Ultra boasts a titanium build with a mix of matte and polished finishes, paired with a 22mm strap in black fluoroelastomer or dark brown leather. Inside its bold frame, the Honor Watch 5 Ultra packs a 1.5-inch AMOLED display with LTPO tech and a 60Hz refresh rate. The always-on display and adaptive refresh rates help save power, and Honor claims its 480mAh battery can last up to 15 days on a full charge.
