🚀 New Launches

The Honor Band 11 Pro GPS lands at $52 with standalone navigation, matching the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 on price while adding the GPS it lacks. Budget fitness trackers just got their first real navigation option.

Marty’s Take:

Honor’s real move isn’t the $52 price, it’s proving silicon-carbon cells work in a shipping consumer device. Expect Garmin, Amazfit, and Samsung to follow within a year, first in budget lines, then flagships, since higher energy density solves GPS’s battery drain without bulking cases.
