HUAWEI Watch Ultimate

The HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate is actually not a new watch, we wrote a REVIEW article for it a year ago. So why are we putting out another video about it now? There are two reasons. One is because there is this new colorway and has added some new features. The second reason is that this watch deserves a real review video, the article doesn’t show all the good things about it, especially about the looks, only in a video we can show the luxurious design.

Design

Unlike Apple and Samsung, the HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate doesn’t look quite like a smartwatch. Obviously, HUAWEI chose to make the Ultimate look more like a traditional luxury watch. Do these two colorways remind you of certain luxury watches? To me, the blue one looks like a Rolex Submariner, and the new green model looks more like a GMT-Master II.

Don’t get it? That’s okay, I don’t know much about luxury watches either. The only thing you need to know is that those are all very famous, and very expensive. The green and white monobloc two-color bezel is a very classic design and one of the reasons that make this watch look prestigious.

So how HUAWEI made the smartwatch so premium, I think it’s because the materials are very special. The case is made of zirconium-based Liquid Metal, which is 4.5 times stronger than stainless steel, with 17% less weight. The Bezel is made of Nano-microcrystalline ceramics, and even the extra metal strap that comes free in the box is made of titanium.

Yes, there are three included straps in the box. The rubber strap is better for sports. HUAWEI was kind enough to give divers an extended strap. You know, the normal strap just isn’t long enough to be wrapped around a wetsuit. This long strap proves that HUAWEI is really thinking about its users. The titanium strap is suitable for attending formal occasions. The most special thing is still this textile strap. Can you see that? It’s harder, but as comfortable as the soft ones.

The Watch Face collection is also a great advantage of HUAWEI watches. Because there are lots of watches sold, many designers are keen on designing all kinds of watch faces for HUAWEI watches. For those who like playing golf, you must buy this new green version, because these four new watch faces are just for you.

All in all, the HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate is a watch that is a perfect blend of high-tech and fine watchmaking. For you Billionaires out there, who want to have a luxury watch that also monitors your health, then only the HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate can fulfill your needs.

Health detection

When you see a watch with three crowns, you should know that it must have a lot of features. Let’s explore the functions of each crown as we go through what the Ultimate has to offer. The crown we’re most familiar with is the one in the upper right corner, which takes care of zoom, scroll, and back.

Double click on it takes you to multitasking, just like a smartphone, and you can always go back to the previous interface. I really like this feature, it makes operating the watch a lot more efficient.

The crown in the lower right corner is a customizable button, which by default turns on exercise mode. The second function is that it can act as an electrode, feeding heart rate data to the ECG. ECG is much better at detecting your HEART RHYTHM problems than a normal heart rate detection, which is used to determine if there are any heart problems, for example, heart attack.

I did get a premature beat detected a couple of times while wearing the watch, and then it gave some medical advice as well. If you do try to improve your habits, go to bed earlier, and relax more, then I think this feature does what it’s supposed to do.

Another thing is that the sleep apnea detection feature recently added to the Apple Watch has long been available on the HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate. And there’s also body temperature detection, which makes you the first one to know if you have a fever. Things like SpO2 detection, sleep detection, and heart rate detection are of course there as well. Apart from the fall detection, I didn’t find any missing features.

Expedition Mode

One of the main selling points of the HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate is hidden in the third crown. Click on it and Expedition Mode will be turned on. This mode uses dual-band five-system GNSS, which allows you to get more accurate positioning. You can also use Offline Maps if you go to places where there is no GPS signal. If you ever go on a remote path, continuous location markings and Route Back navigation will get you back on track. Its task is simple, to record expedition data and keep you safe.

Dive & Golf Mode

The HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate has two very specialized modes: dive and golf. Since these two modes are the only sports modes that can be found on the Grid, it means that they are one of the main selling points of this watch. In the Diving mode, there are so many specialized options that you can choose from, as well as provide science-based no-fly time suggestions.

HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate is the first smartwatch to offer a 100-meter scuba diving mode, and the three crowns are also designed to make it easier for divers to operate the watch underwater.

The Golf Mode can record a myriad of golf swing data, including swing speed, swing tempo, backswing time, and downswing time. Tap on the watch screen to see how far away you are from any position on the map and its distance to the green. You can also get your last shot distance, plays-like distance, and data-driven tips on where to aim and which club to use. You can even download over 15,000 maps of the golf course, so you can feel more confident about your next shot.

To be honest, I’m not very familiar with either sport, but I’ve been to the HUAWEI Health Lab. When I saw how they capture data and use them in their algorithms, I knew for sure that they wouldn’t screw up with the sports detection algorithms. Those of you who have bought this watch in the future can also share your experience in the comments section, for other viewers to use as a reference.

Battery & Charging

Among all the smartwatches with “Ultra” or “Ultimate” in their name, HUAWEI is definitely the one with the longest battery life. I wore it all the time for a week, turned on everything I could, including the AOD, and sleep mode was on when I was in bed every night. It didn’t need charging until day six. Believe me, long battery life is a huge advantage for a smartwatch.

The Ultimate has wireless charging as well, and you can charge it on a charging pad that supports the Qi protocol. Of course, the fastest way to charge it is with its proprietary charger, and a full charge in an hour is pretty fast. I also tested its compatibility with iOS devices. Other than not being able to download third-party apps, all the other features work fine.

After watching this video, you guys should know more about the HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate. This is HUAWEI’s most powerful and luxurious smartwatch at the moment. Here I’ll summarize its advantages for you guys again: the premium watch look, professional diving and golf modes, lots of super-detailed health detection, and super-long battery life. If you are fed up with the boring appearance design of smartwatches, then HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate will be your best choice.
