Huawei is launching two new smartwatches this August: WATCH FIT Special Edition (S$128) and WATCH Ultimate (S$1,198). Both will be available in Singapore from 8 August 2023.
Huawei sells three tiers of smartwatches catering to different budget levels, offering different features: the BAND series of entry-level health trackers, the FIT series of mid-tier fitness trackers, and the WATCH series of top-tier boutique smartwatches.
The WATCH FIT (SE) is the latest in Huawei’s FIT series, offering a stylish design with a lightweight futuristic exterior, sporting a wide range of health management and smart features, and more than 10,000 pre-designed watch faces.
The WATCH Ultimate extends the flagship series from high performance into the luxurious.
Its S$1,198 price tag is almost twice that of its previous priciest model.
The Huawei WATCH Ultimate is created with zirconium-based liquid metal case, a new material with elegant aesthetics and texture that make it a top choice for high-end watches.
It is the first time the material is being used in a smartwatch, with unique properties, such as being 4.5 times stronger and 2.5 times harder than stainless-steel.
It resists deformation under high temperature conditions yet feature a high-end metallic sheen, making it resistant enough to survive rocky terrains, hot deserts, luxurious dinners, well beyond the daily commute.
With a deep blue nano-tech ceramic bezel reminiscent of vast oceans, this edition makes a great fashion statement for those who love sea sports.

Are there any promotional launch prices or freebies?
No. Perhaps they’ll announce something closer to the 8.8 sale?
What’s the metallic band made of? Do they have sillicone straps?
The watch strap is made of a hard titanium alloy, making it super durable yet lightweight. The smartwatch also comes with an additional Hydrogenated Nitrile Rubber (HNBR) strap.
I notice there’re now three buttons. That’s something new. What are the three buttons for?
That’s a good observation. The three buttons mimic the design style of a traditional high-end watch. They comprise a 3D Rotating Crown, a Function button and an Assist button, each made for different tasks.
