The Huawei Watch Ultimate is primarily designed for diving rather than swimming, but it does offer features that could be useful during swimming sessions. While it does not specifically focus on real-time feedback for swimming, its water resistance and sensors can be beneficial for general aquatic activities.
For swimming, the watch's water resistance is a significant advantage. It is rated for 10 ATM, meaning it can withstand immersion up to 100 meters, which is more than sufficient for pool swimming[1][3]. However, the watch does not have specific swimming modes or real-time feedback tailored for swimming like some other smartwatches might.
In terms of real-time feedback, the Huawei Watch Ultimate excels in diving modes, providing real-time monitoring of diving data such as depth, ascent rate, and water temperature[2][4]. It also supports features like heart rate and SpO2 monitoring, which could be useful during swimming, but these are not specifically optimized for swimming activities[5].
For those interested in swimming, other Huawei models like the Huawei GT series might offer more tailored features for tracking swimming workouts, including stroke rate and SWOLF metrics[11]. However, the Huawei Watch Ultimate is more geared towards diving and outdoor adventures rather than swimming-specific tracking[10].
In summary, while the Huawei Watch Ultimate can be used in swimming environments due to its water resistance, it does not provide the same level of real-time feedback for swimming as it does for diving activities.
