Huawei appears to be gearing up for the launch of the Watch Ultimate 2, the sequel to its high-end smartwatch, the Watch Ultimate (launched in March 2023). Recent leaks, from reliable sources like WinFuture and NotebookCheck, have shed light on the design, key features, and possible launch timing.
What the Renders Reveal
The leaked design renders and other information suggest several things about how Huawei is evolving the Watch Ultimate line.
| Feature | What’s New / What Looks Like It’ll Stay |
|---|---|
| Dial / Case Design | — Circular dial, much like the current Ultimate. — Minimal bezels. — Two hardware controls/buttons on the right side: one a rotating crown, the other another circular button. |
| Sensors & Underside | Glass casing underneath the watch (i.e. in the rear) presumably housing health / tracking sensors. |
| Colours / Finishes | Leaked renders show white and black colourways. |
| Size | The case is tipped to be 48.5 mm diameter — same as or very close to predecessor. |
| Battery & Materials | A key upgrade seems to be in the battery: the watches are said to use a “silicon-carbon battery” (or silicon-carbon composition) that allows for around 37% energy density increase and about 65% capacity gain over the older model. Also, rumours say the battery capacity will be notably higher than the upcoming Watch GT 6 Pro. |
Expected Features & Upgrades
Based on what’s leaked:
- Longer battery life: With the improved battery tech (silicon-carbon + increased capacity), we should expect significantly better runtime, especially in power-saving modes.
- Rugged / premium build: The Ultimate line is high-end, and these renders suggest Huawei will retain premium materials and possibly more durable design cues.
- “New touch sensor”: Some leaks mention a revised or new sensor/touch feature, though details are thin. Could be improvements in health tracking, touch response, or even new sensor types.
Price & Launch Timing
- Launch date: The Watch Ultimate 2 is expected to be announced on September 19, 2025, likely alongside the Watch GT 6 series.
- Price: Rumoured pricing is around €899 (roughly US$1,050), which places it firmly in the premium smartwatch segment.
What to Watch For
If these leaks are accurate, Huawei is aiming to solidify the Ultimate line as a high-performance, premium smartwatch option, perhaps competing with the likes of Apple Watch Ultra, Garmin’s top tier, etc. The improvements in battery and build suggest they want to target users who need durability, long battery life, and premium materials.
For consumers, it likely means a higher price tag, but also a device that might deliver more value in terms of battery, sensors, and toughness.
