Although Huawei may not be welcome in the US, the corporation is nevertheless releasing products for the rest of the world. The Watch Ultimate, its most recent product, is an ultra-premium wearable designed for extreme sports enthusiasts who desire a statement piece on their wrist. The Ultimate has two pushers, one top left and the other bottom right, with a spinning crown located on the top right, similar to a Submariner or Seamaster. The cases, which come in blue and black, are covered in “innovative zirconium-based liquid metal material,” which sounds a lot like the LiquidMetal-brand alloy used in many contemporary Omega watches.
Depending on the watch face you choose, you’ll have a different strap option; the more expensive blue option comes with a titanium alloy band. If you choose black, you’ll receive an HNBR (rubber) band in both normal and extended lengths, perfect for scuba diving. Huawei is heavily promoting the Watch Ultimate for this reason, claiming that it has a typical dive depth of 100 metres but can survive up to 24 hours at depths of 110 metres. For technical divers, Huawei included a number of additional software features, although it’s unclear how many deep-diving experts would switch from their mechanical watch to a digital one.
