The Huawei Watch Ultimate and the Huawei Watch GT3 Pro exhibit several significant design differences:
1. Materials and Construction:
- Huawei Watch Ultimate: The case is made from a "liquid metal" alloy based on zirconium, which provides enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. It features a nanocrystalline ceramic bezel with 18K gold inserts in some versions, and the watch face is protected by sapphire crystal glass[1][3]. The main strap is typically made of titanium with gold plating[1].
- Huawei Watch GT3 Pro: Available in two main versions: Titanium and Ceramic. The Titanium version features a machined titanium body with a sapphire glass screen, while the Ceramic version uses nanocrystalline ceramic for both the body and strap[2][6]. Both versions have a more traditional watch look, with the Ceramic model being more ornate.
2. Size and Display:
- Huawei Watch Ultimate: It has a larger 1.5-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels, offering a peak brightness of up to 1000 nits[1][3]. The watch is larger and thicker, measuring 49.4Ã49.4Ã13.0 mm[1].
- Huawei Watch GT3 Pro: The Titanium version features a 1.43-inch AMOLED display, while the Ceramic version has a smaller 1.32-inch display, both with the same 466 x 466 resolution[2][5]. The watches are generally smaller and thinner compared to the Watch Ultimate.
3. Water Resistance and Durability:
- Huawei Watch Ultimate: Offers a higher water resistance rating of 10 ATM, making it suitable for diving in seawater[1]. The use of "liquid metal" and thicker sapphire crystal enhances its durability.
- Huawei Watch GT3 Pro: Has a lower water resistance rating of 5 ATM, which is still sufficient for general water exposure but not for deep diving[8].
4. Luxury and Aesthetic:
- Huawei Watch Ultimate: The Design version incorporates 18K gold elements, giving it a luxurious appearance. This version is priced at $3000, targeting those who value premium aesthetics[1][4].
- Huawei Watch GT3 Pro: While stylish, it does not feature gold inlays like the Watch Ultimate Design. The Ceramic version has a gold ring around the face but lacks the extensive gold detailing of the Watch Ultimate[2].
Overall, the Huawei Watch Ultimate is designed for ruggedness and luxury, while the GT3 Pro focuses on a more traditional watch design with a sporty edge.
