Honor Band 6

Just read about the Honor Band 6. Looks like a great fitness band. Since only the China version is available, should I wait until they release the international version or is the Chinese version good enough.

Chinese version has English so it is usable outside of China. If you purchase the Chinese version, avoid purchasing the model with NFC since it won't work outside of China. International version should be coming out shortly so it might be worth the wait to avoid any future firmware issues (i.e. international model getting different firmware than Chinese model).

I decided to wait until the Global version of this watch. Had my hopes up in January since it was announced at CES that this was going to be released soon. It's almost March and I am still waiting. Any updates on the timing of this?

Unfortunately no news has been released by Honor on the timing of this.

They are supposedly adding more languages to the Chinese version which was initially Chinese and English.

I use the Chinese version, bought from Aliexpress. Took about a month to arrive but came in good condition. English works fine. I have no issues with it and it works well.

Looks like the Global version is finally out. Saw it on Aliexpress, price is $50 US.
