Huawei has recently launched its Honor Band 6 in China. Honor Band 6 is somewhere between a smartwatch and a smart band. It is smaller than a smartwatch, but a bit larger than a smart band or any other fitness tracker.

Not only that, but the band also packs certain features for women’s health management, like menstrual cycle tracking and ovulation tracking.
