| Huawei will release the new Watch Ultimate Design (pictured) in various countries worldwide. |
In a move that blends high-tech innovation with uncompromising luxury, Huawei has officially confirmed the global release of its most ambitious wearable yet: the Watch Ultimate Design Royal Gold Edition. First unveiled in China in late November, the timepiece made a dazzling reappearance at the recent Mate X7 smartphone launch event in Dubai, signaling its readiness for the world stage. This isn't just another smartwatch; it's a statement piece Huawei boldly describes as "a crown jewel on the wrist."
A Masterpiece of Materials and Craftsmanship
At first glance, it’s clear this device belongs in a different category. Departing from the typical black and silver tech aesthetic, the watch features a striking, regal predominantly purple design. The case is crafted from a zirconium-based liquid metal, providing a unique hue and exceptional durability. Encircling the display is a sophisticated 12-sided ceramic bezel, adding a sharp, architectural element.
The luxury is in the details—and the materials. 18K and 24K gold elements are thoughtfully integrated, while the matching strap is made from purple titanium alloy, further accentuated with 24K gold plating. The screen is protected by resilient sapphire crystal, completing a package (48.3 x 48.3 x 12.9 mm, 80.9 g) that feels both substantial and premium. For those seeking the pinnacle of smartwatch design, this model is in a class of its own.

Cutting-Edge Tech Beneath the Luxury
Beneath its jewel-like exterior lies the robust functionality Huawei’s Ultimate series is known for. The watch boasts a vibrant 1.5-inch LTPO 2.0 AMOLED display with an eye-searing 3,500 nits peak brightness, ensuring perfect visibility even under direct sunlight. Users can personalize it with a wide array of watch faces, including some exclusive designs made specifically for this edition.
The feature set is comprehensively flagship:
- Always Connected: eSIM support with noise-cancelling calling keeps you connected without your phone.
- Active Lifestyle Ready: With GPS, local music storage, and contactless payments, it's perfect for workouts and daily errands.
- Exclusive Modes: A dedicated Golf Course Mode (region-dependent) and smart gesture controls add convenience.
- Built for Adventure: True to its "Ultimate" name, it's a diving watch certified for 150 meters. It even features advanced sonar-based underwater communication technology, inherited from the Watch Ultimate 2, allowing for basic data transfers between divers.
Despite the power-hungry features and the stunning always-on display, Huawei promises a respectable 2.5 days of battery life under typical usage.
Global Release and Premium Positioning
While the exact global rollout dates are still to be finalized, the confirmation from Dubai indicates it’s imminent. The pricing strategy underscores its ultra-premium positioning. In China, the Watch Ultimate Design Royal Gold Edition retails for CNY 24,999 (approximately $3,529).
For context, the existing Huawei Watch Ultimate Green with a titanium bracelet is listed at €899 in Europe, as seen on retailers like Amazon. This vast price difference highlights the Royal Gold Edition's unique positioning as a luxury collectible within the tech space.

For the discerning tech enthusiast who refuses to compromise on style, the crown jewel awaits.
