With a 1.5-inch Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide (LTPO) AMOLED screen at 466x466 resolution, the smartwatch has a slim yet flexible AMOLED panel, with a glass cover made of high-strength sapphire glass, which is also fully laminated and wear-resistant. Meanwhile, the thickness of the central plane area of the glass is 2.35mm, with 33 precision grinding processes for the finest aesthetics. HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate’s nano-tech Ceramic Bezel is made of nano-microcrystalline ceramics, using over 24 processing techniques, CNC precision machining and fine engraving of its precise internal structure. Ceramic brings the characteristics of scratch and corrosion resistance, with over 6 to 7 times harder than stainless steel, while having the lustre akin to gemstones.

The smartwatch also undergoes ISO 22810-water resistance standard and EN13319 diving equipment standard tests. With the ability to endure 24 hours of 110-meter depth water-resistant monitoring, HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate has become a new model of water resistance performance among smartwatches in the industry. The watch has also weathered through up to 125 meters of hydrostatic pressure testing, achieving water pressure resistance from 2ATM to 13.5ATM at that depth, which is the highest ever recorded.

Moreover, the watch utilises the professional Bühlmann algorithm model, using the unique combination of OT+3 and +OD+5 to provide advanced divers with the fastest and most intuitive judgment criteria for overtime or going further deep during dives.
