New Huawei Watch Ultimate is the pinnacle of classic smartwatch design – but are we ready for it?

Huawei launches Watch Ultimate smartwatch

The best smartwatch manufacturers are trampling over each other to produce wearables that rival the build quality and design of timepieces from watch brands such as Rolex and Tag Heuer. There is, of course, the Apple Watch Ultra, and Garmin has its own mega-premium MARQ series. With the release of the Watch Ultimate, Huawei is joining the brigade of ultra-premium smartwatch manufacturers.

At first glance, you might mistake the Huawei Watch Ultimate for a dive watch made in Switzerland. The watch has a zirconium-based liquid metal material case, usually reserved for traditional, luxurious timepieces. And it's not only premium-looking but also 4.5 times stronger and 2.5 times harder than stainless steel and resists deformation under high-temperature conditions.
