Third-party reviews

What we like about Huawei Watch Ultimate 2

  • Exceptional build quality using zirconium-based liquid metal and nanocrystal ceramic
  • Industry-leading 1.5-inch LTPO AMOLED display with up to 3,500 nits peak brightness
  • Advanced professional diving features including 150m water resistance and sonar-based underwater communication
  • Strong battery life, offering up to 11 days in light mode and roughly 4-5 days of typical use
  • High accuracy in health and fitness tracking via the TruSense system and upgraded dual-band GPS
  • Independent connectivity through eSIM support and an integrated speaker/microphone for calls

What we don't like about Huawei Watch Ultimate 2

  • Premium price point that places it in luxury territory
  • Substantial physical size and weight (80g+ without strap) may be too bulky for some users
  • Limited smart ecosystem and third-party app selection compared to Wear OS or watchOS
  • Restrictive NFC payment options and limited deep app integration
  • Software quirks, such as the inability to easily overlay multiple routes in expedition mode

Verdict

The Huawei Watch Ultimate 2 is a luxury adventure smartwatch featuring a zirconium-based liquid metal case, a scratch-resistant sapphire glass face, and a 1.5-inch LTPO AMOLED display with an industry-leading peak brightness of 3,500 nits. Designed for extreme environments, it offers a 20 ATM rating for professional-grade diving up to 150 meters and introduces a world-first sonar-based underwater communication system. Key specifications include an 867 mAh battery providing up to 11 days of life (4.5 days typical), eSIM connectivity, dual-frequency Sunflower GPS, and the X-TAP multi-sensorial sensor for accurate ECG, SpO2, and arterial stiffness monitoring. Main pros are its nearly indestructible build, ultra-bright outdoor visibility, and specialized pro-level diving and golf modes. However, its significant 80.5g weight and large 48.5mm case may be too bulky for some users, and it remains limited by a restricted third-party app ecosystem compared to its major competitors.
