Honor is set to unveil its Watch Magic 2 smartwatch on November 26 in China, and more than a week ahead of the launch TechRadar can share some exclusive pictures of the smartwatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While they’re not hugely revealing, they show us enough about the upcoming wearable to give us a good idea of what to expect when it launches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Something we can tell from the images is that the body of the Honor Watch Magic 2 has seen a re-design from its predecessor \u2013 the bezel looks to be thinner, and rises less from the screen of the watch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This indicates a departure from the ‘classic’ look of a wristwatch, which many smartwatches mimic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Watch Magic 2 also looks more monochromatic than before, with the device all black (save a red ring on the crown, like in the original Watch Magic), and white text around the dial instead of pink like before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, this could be just the style of the one device TechRadar was shown, with other colored variants available at launch. It’s also possible this is a design decision to make the Watch Magic 2 look more sleek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The strap also looks to be leather, like the Watch Magic, but again it’s monochromatic black, unlike the older device which had a brown leather strap with white cotton threads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The images show the Honor Watch Magic 2 as a more modern-looking device, shirking the classic wristwatch look of old for a more decidedly ‘smartwatch’ feel. We don’t know much about the specs or internals of the device yet, but there’s not long to go until it’s officially unveiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s set to happen alongside the Honor V30 launch in China, which is happening in Beijing on November 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Honor Band 5 is a small, but steady, step up from the Honor Band 4 in many regards. It\u2019s got it\u2019s problems, for sure, but as one of the most affordable fitness trackers on the market right now, it\u2019s easy to forgive these issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
