The Huawei Watch Ultimate is not officially available in the US due to ongoing disputes between Huawei and the US government. This means that the watch cannot be purchased through official channels or retailers within the United States[1][5][7].
However, it is possible to obtain the Huawei Watch Ultimate in the US by purchasing an international version from platforms like Amazon or other online retailers. This option may require paying a premium compared to buying it directly in regions where it is officially sold, such as the UK or Europe[7].
In terms of functionality, even if you manage to acquire the watch in the US, some features might not work as intended due to compatibility issues with Huawei's ecosystem, which is not fully supported in the US. For instance, pairing it with a Huawei smartphone would offer the best experience, but this is limited in the US[1][5].
The watch itself is designed for luxury and durability, featuring a zirconium liquid metal body, sapphire crystal display, and up to 100 meters of water resistance, making it suitable for scuba diving and other water sports[2][3]. It also includes health tracking features like SpO2, stress monitoring, and ECG, along with a battery life of up to 14 days[3][6].
Despite its impressive specifications, the lack of official support and availability in the US remains a significant drawback for potential buyers in that region.
