The Huawei Watch Ultimate 2 is a durable luxury smartwatch designed for extreme diving, offering independent underwater communication and comprehensive health and outdoor tracking features.
Takeways• The Huawei Watch Ultimate 2 supports independent underwater communication at 150 meters depth via sonar.
• It features a robust, luxury design with a 3500-nit screen and advanced TrueSense health monitoring.
• Comprehensive outdoor tracking, including precise GPS and expedition modes, is combined with everyday smart features like NFC and eSIM.
The Huawei Watch Ultimate 2, built with a liquid metal alloy and sapphire glass, is presented as the first smartwatch enabling independent underwater communication at depths of 150 meters. It boasts an ultra-bright LTPO 2.0 screen and a robust design that automatically seals against water pressure. Beyond its unique diving capabilities, the watch integrates advanced health monitoring via its TrueSense system and offers extensive outdoor navigation features for various activities.
Design and Durability
• 00:00:27 The Huawei Watch Ultimate 2 presents as a luxury watch, featuring an octagonal design crafted from liquid metal amorphous zirconium alloy with an ultra-hard coating. It incorporates a sapphire glass screen and nano crystal ceramic bezel and rear cover, ensuring both a premium aesthetic and exceptional durability. The device is equipped with a 1.5-inch LTPO 2.0 screen, offering a peak brightness of 3500 nits, which is claimed to be the brightest in the industry for clear visibility in direct sunlight.
Extreme Diving Capabilities
• 00:01:21 The Watch Ultimate 2 is rated for dives down to an impressive 150 meters, a depth where pressure is equivalent to 35 elephants, significantly deeper than competitors like the Apple Watch Ultra series (40 meters). It features a water-resistant structure that senses pressure and automatically seals gaps when submerged deeply, protecting against various types of water and even household chemicals in shallow water. This design ensures peace of mind during deep dives or everyday activities.
Underwater Communication and Tracking
• 00:02:07 The Watch Ultimate 2 enables independent underwater communication via sonar, similar to dolphins, allowing divers to send and receive complex messages beyond gestures or lights. Users can pre-set messages and emoticons, performing an above-water test before diving to ensure functionality. Communication is effective up to 30 meters, and an SOS function works up to 60 meters. Post-dive, access to message history and key data like depth and time is available, alongside traditional diving tracker functions with various modes and safety alerts.
Advanced Health Monitoring
• 00:03:58 Equipped with Huawei's XTAP sensor, which combines ECG, PPG, and pressure sensors, the Watch Ultimate 2 features the TrueSense system for comprehensive health monitoring. A quick three-second press on the XTAP sensor initiates a 'health glance check,' generating a report with 11 indicators including heart rate, blood oxygen, body temperature, and stress levels. A new fingertip blood oxygen monitoring system provides more accurate results than wrist-based sensors, crucial for high-altitude activities to prevent altitude sickness.
Outdoor and Everyday Features
• 00:05:04 The Watch Ultimate 2 includes Huawei's new Sunflower positioning system with a gap antenna and upgraded algorithm for accurate data, supporting dual-band five-system positioning for remote locations. Its professional expedition mode allows route imports, offline maps, and real-time data display (time, battery, altitude, pressure). For golfers, it offers 1,000 course maps across 19 countries. Safety features include fall detection with automatic emergency calls. Everyday conveniences include an NFC antenna for payments, eSIM support for calls and navigation, and AI noise-canceling for microphones, with a battery saver mode that still supports eSIM calling.
