Design and Construction
The Huawei WATCH Ultimate Green Edition, features a sturdy 48mm zirconium-based liquid metal case that’s 4-5 times harder than standard stainless steel, offering both style and class-leading durability.
It fits ‘big’ on a six and a half-inch wrist but this isn’t unwarranted packing hardware and sensors galore! Although, weighing in at about 76 g with the strap excluded also makes it feel very substantial regardless.
The watch is highly resistant to wear and corrosion, designed to thrive in extreme environments—even space so they say. The Green Edition is topped with a two-tone nano-tech ceramic bezel, which took over 45 days of precise crafting to achieve, ensuring its place among the most luxurious wearables.
But HUAWEI doesn’t stop at the watch case either.
The WATCH Ultimate Green Edition includes a durable woven strap crafted with a modern warp twill weaving technique that resists both liquids and bacteria. For those preferring an all-metal look, there’s also an aerospace-grade titanium strap available, paying homage to the HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Pro it launched with.
Lastly, there’s an additional HNBR (hydrogenated nitrile rubber) strap in green for heavy workouts and deep dives.
Overall, it’s a nice sporty design but the 48mm diameter may be a little too big for average-sized wrists, although it doesn’t seem like this is a smartwatch catered for average fellas either!
Display and Audio
At the heart of the WATCH Ultimate Green is a 1.5-inch LTPO AMOLED display, protected by sapphire crystal for excellent scratch resistance.
The screen’s vibrant colors and high contrast make it ideal for both outdoor adventures and casual use, with high visibility even under bright sunlight.
