Hot on the heels of its late 2025 launch, the premium Huawei Watch Ultimate 2 is receiving a substantial new software update, further cementing its position as a feature-packed flagship wearable. The rollout of HarmonyOS version 6.0.0.209 has begun in China, bringing a notable health research initiative and a suite of enhanced tracking capabilities to users' wrists.
This update follows the December 2025 patch that upgraded the device to HarmonyOS 6.0.0.156. The latest firmware introduces what is perhaps its most significant addition: a new coronary heart disease risk research project. As detailed on Huawei's official Weibo channel, users in China can opt into a trial that provides a personalized risk assessment. The watch analyzes collected health data over a three-to-four-day period to generate its report. Huawei emphasizes that this is a screening tool, advising that any potential issues flagged by the wearable should be followed up with a professional healthcare provider. The exact algorithm behind the assessment remains undisclosed.
Beyond advanced health monitoring, HarmonyOS 6.0.0.209 significantly broadens the watch's activity tracking inclusivity and precision. A dedicated wheelchair activity tracking mode has been added, accessible via Activity Tracking > Triple Ring Settings, allowing users to customize their fitness goals. Outdoor cyclists gain a new real-time simulated cadence metric, 3D distance compensation prompts, and the ability to select their bike type for more accurate data.
Winter sports enthusiasts aren't left out, either. The Skiing mode has been enhanced with more detailed post-session analytics, including maximum and average speeds, slope gradient, and cumulative descent measurements. In a convenient twist for photographers, Android smartphone users can now remotely control their device's camera directly from the watch face.
For those in Europe looking to experience these high-end features, the Huawei Watch Ultimate 2 is available internationally. You can check the latest price and availability on Amazon DE.
The full announcement and details from the Chinese rollout can be seen on the official Weibo post. As of now, Huawei has not announced a specific timeline for when the HarmonyOS 6.0.0.209 update will reach global users outside China. Given the watch's premium positioning—currently priced around €872.03—these iterative software enhancements add considerable value, focusing on both proactive health insights and versatile athletic tracking.
