The Huawei Watch Ultimate is capable of tracking vital signs such as heart rate and SpO2 levels continuously, but there are specific considerations when it comes to swimming. The watch is designed to be water-resistant up to 100 meters, making it suitable for swimming activities[1][2]. However, SpO2 measurements are typically performed automatically every 10 minutes during rest periods, such as during mountain hikes or skiing, and require the user to remain still[6].
For swimming, while the watch can monitor heart rate continuously, SpO2 measurements might not be as accurate or frequent due to the nature of the activity. The watch's advanced health monitoring features, including heart rate tracking, are enhanced by eight photoelectric sensors and an AI algorithm, which improve accuracy during strenuous workouts[3]. However, SpO2 monitoring during dynamic activities like swimming may not be as reliable or continuous due to the need for stable conditions for accurate readings.
In summary, the Huawei Watch Ultimate can track heart rate during swimming but may not provide continuous or accurate SpO2 measurements during this activity due to the dynamic nature of swimming and the requirements for SpO2 measurement accuracy.
