Certain smartwatches get all the attention, but if you want something different that works with iOS and Android, don't overlook the Huawei Watch Ultimate.
Huawei has a long and rich history of making excellent wearables, and its latest model is the Huawei Watch Ultimate. Simply put, it may be the best smartwatch you’re in danger of overlooking.
The overriding design aspect is the Watch Ultimate’s size. It’s gigantic, even for someone who regularly wears Casio G-Shock watches. The 48mm case and its integrated lugs mean it stretches all the way across my 6.5-inch wrist, and because it’s 13mm thick, it’s not the easiest to slip under a cuff, either. It’s bold and brash and not for the shy.
Streamlining the onboarding process makes a massive difference to the initial ownership experience, which has become complex and frustrating over the years. It’s great to see how Huawei has made it all very simple. I’ve also noticed notification support has been dramatically improved on Android, with all messages arriving instantly on the watch. Just don’t expect to interact with the notifications unless you’re using a Huawei phone.
Previous Next 1 of 3 Huawei still insists on keeping voice guidance activated by default and at maximum volume, so it shouts out things like “workout started” and your heart rate data during exercise. It’s embarrassing and unnecessary, although I can see how it would be handy if you’re cycling and can’t easily look at your wrist. At all other times, though, it’s a hateful interruption. You have to search for the volume control, which is found only after pressing the button at the 2 o’clock mark.

I haven’t tracked sleep as, although the Watch Ultimate is comfortable to wear, it feels awkwardly large to wear at night. Huawei claims the battery will last between four and eight days on a single charge with these settings, which seems achievable, or up to 14 days with light use.
