The Huawei Watch Ultimate stands out among smartwatches for its impressive water resistance capabilities. It is rated at 10 ATM, meaning it can withstand pressures equivalent to a depth of 100 meters, and it complies with the ISO 22810:2010 standard for water resistance and the EN 13319 standard for diving equipment[1][3][4]. This makes it suitable not only for shallow water activities like swimming but also for more serious diving, including technical and scuba diving[3][9]. The watch features a dedicated dive mode that tracks depth, ascent rate, and water temperature, making it a full-fledged diving computer[3][9].
In comparison, other high-end smartwatches like the Apple Watch Ultra series also offer 100 meters of water resistance but are generally recommended for recreational diving up to 40 meters[2]. The Apple Watch Ultra is designed for activities like snorkeling and freediving but is not as robust for deeper technical dives as the Huawei Watch Ultimate[2].
Garmin's Descent series, another competitor in the diving smartwatch space, offers similar water resistance capabilities and is also designed for serious diving activities[2]. However, the Huawei Watch Ultimate's extensive diving features and robust construction make it particularly appealing for those who engage in deep-sea diving.
Overall, the Huawei Watch Ultimate is one of the most water-resistant smartwatches available, offering a unique combination of durability and diving-specific features that set it apart from many other models on the market.
