The Huawei Watch Ultimate incorporates several materials and design elements to minimize reflections and enhance its durability and aesthetic appeal.
1. Sapphire Glass Dial: The watch features a sapphire glass dial, which is renowned for its anti-scratch and anti-glare properties. This high-quality glass ensures a clear view of the display, even in bright conditions, by reducing glare and reflections. The sapphire glass is particularly durable, with a scratch resistance that is demonstrated by its ability to withstand sharp objects without showing scratches[1][2][3].
2. Zirconium-Based Liquid Metal Casing: The watch case is made from zirconium-based liquid metal, an amorphous alloy that provides exceptional strength and durability. This material is 4.5 times stronger and 2.5 times harder than titanium, making it highly resistant to wear and corrosion[3][6]. While not directly related to minimizing reflections, its durability ensures that the watch maintains its appearance over time.
3. Nano-Tech Ceramic Bezel: The Huawei Watch Ultimate Green Edition features a dual-color nano-tech ceramic bezel. This advanced ceramic material is not only durable but also contributes to the watch's luxurious appearance. The manufacturing process involves high-temperature firing, resulting in a bezel that is scratch and corrosion-resistant, with a hardness significantly greater than stainless steel[4][5]. Although ceramic materials can sometimes reflect light, the specific design and finish of this bezel are crafted to emphasize durability and style rather than specifically minimizing reflections.
Overall, while the primary focus of these materials is on durability and luxury, the sapphire glass dial is specifically designed to reduce glare and reflections, ensuring a clear view of the display.
