When you pay a lot of attention to tech launches, it doesn’t take too long to figure that being in the first wave to buy a new device can be a really smart play – you often get bonuses with your purchase that later adopters miss out on. A perfect case in point has been provided this month by Huawei, which has a doozy of a promotion on its brand-new Watch Ultimate 2.
The Huawei Watch Ultimate 2 is a hugely compelling proposition from the biggest wrist-worn wearable brand in the world, even if you ignore the free earbuds. This is a fairly massive launch from Huawei, and it all starts with a stellar, premium design that looks for all the world like a high-end luxury watch at a glance, thanks to a really stylish bezel and crown.
The watch is made using zirconium-based liquid metal, and available in both blue and black colours depending on how you want it to pair with your wardrobe – the blue version is particularly bright and modern, while the black design is more stealthy. It also has a sapphire glass face for added durability, and a stunning dual-colour nanocrystal ceramic bezel.
Whichever you choose, you’ll be blown away by its 1.5-inch LTPO 2.0 AMOLED colour screen – a display so sharp that you might find people don’t even realise it’s a smartwatch until they look more closely. There is a huge range of watch faces to pick from, too, so that you can change your style super quickly on the fly.
Some of the improvements the watch brings are unbelievable, too. It’s the first smart watch to support 150-metre dives, while maintaining the ability to communicate wirelessly for calls or music playback, which is astonishing.
The Huawei Watch Ultimate 2 also has eSIM, which means it can make calls completely independently of your phone, making it a truly flexible choice. Those who live truly adventurous lifestyles can also be reassured by the addition of features like Fall Detection, Emergency SOS, and High-altitude monitoring.
Meanwhile, the Huawei FreeBuds Pro 4 are a brilliant pair of earbuds that give excellent sound quality and active noise-cancelling to keep you focused on your music while out and about. They also have incredible battery life, at up to 33 hours when fully charged, which almost no earbuds on the market can match. Since they’re worth £149.99 on their own, this is a pretty major freebie to get with your purchase.
This deal runs until 4 November, as a reminder, so while you do have a decent amount of time to take advantage of it, be sure to buy your Huawei Watch 2 Ultimate before it expires – you’ll kick yourself if you don’t get those free earbuds!
