Huawei has expanded its HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate 2 range in the UAE with a new Green colour edition, according to the company’s latest product availability update. The change adds another option to an existing lineup, targeting consumers who want a rugged smartwatch design with advanced underwater communication features.
What is new: a Green colour option in the UAE
The HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate 2 Green edition is listed in the UAE for AED 3,299, with details directed to Huawei’s official retail and online channels. Beyond the change in colour, the company’s release indicates the smartwatch keeps the same core hardware and capabilities that define the Ultimate 2 as an exploration-focused wearable.
In a market where wearable brands frequently differentiate through styling, Huawei’s decision to introduce a colour variant also reflects a broader industry pattern: manufacturers often use incremental SKU updates to refresh demand without redesigning the underlying product.
Underwater communication and rugged design
Huawei describes the Ultimate 2 as integrating a mini sonar unit and piezoelectric ceramic plates, intended to support underwater messaging without adding external equipment. The company contrasts this with radio-wave based approaches, citing signal limitations in water.
In its description, Huawei says the build includes structural reinforcement and a protective membrane intended to guard ultra-thin ceramic components, while maintaining a streamlined form factor. The release also points to testing across different underwater environments, including open-water conditions and high-altitude lakes.
Messaging range and emergency SOS
For safety and dive coordination, Huawei states the watch supports real-time underwater messaging within a 30-meter range. It also says users can add up to 50 dive buddies, supported by more than 50 preset messages and emoticons for quick communication.
For emergency situations, the company says divers can trigger an SOS distress signal by holding the Function Button for three seconds. Huawei adds that once activated, the watch automatically sends alerts every 25 seconds. According to the release, nearby devices can receive and forward the message, extending the effective range up to 60 meters, with the aim of improving rescue coordination.
Daily smartwatch features remain part of the package
Although the product positioning highlights diving and expedition use, Huawei also frames the Ultimate 2 as suitable for everyday wear. The release lists enhanced health monitoring and precise sports tracking, along with battery life designed for long use between charges.
That dual-use angle matters in the UAE and other fast-growing markets in the region, where buyers increasingly treat fitness and connectivity devices as both lifestyle accessories and practical tools. For consumers, the question is less about whether the watch has expedition-grade specs, and more about whether those features translate into day-to-day usability, including comfort, durability, and battery performance.
Business context: incremental variants, sustained differentiation
From a business perspective, colour refreshes can be a relatively low-cost way for manufacturers to keep product lines active and visible. In wearables, where consumers often make purchase decisions based on design, fit, and use-case fit, a new variant can widen appeal without requiring a new platform launch.
However, the value of incremental updates depends on the underlying differentiation staying relevant. Huawei’s messaging centers on the sonar-based underwater communication system, an attribute that is comparatively uncommon in mainstream smartwatches. If that feature remains a core selling point, a new colour option can help the brand capture more consumer segments within the same technical category.
Availability in the UAE
Huawei states that the Green edition of the HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate 2 is now available in the UAE at AED 3,299. Shoppers can check official pricing and purchase options via Huawei’s UAE consumer website.
As the wearable market continues to balance advanced sensors, connectivity features, and specialized use cases, manufacturers like Huawei are using both product substance and merchandising choices, such as new editions, to maintain momentum among consumers who want rugged functionality in everyday form.
