Huawei elevates luxury smart wearables with its European debut of the Watch Ultimate Design Royal Gold – a statement piece blending jewelry-grade materials with cutting-edge eSIM smart watch technology.
First introduced in China during late 2025, this ultra-premium model targets luxury seekers with its fusion of precious metals and professional diving capabilities, creating a true phone-free wearable experience for high-end adventurers.
The crown jewel of Huawei’s lineup features a nanocrystal ceramic bezel accented with 18K/24K gold, paired with a zirconium-based liquid metal case that’s surprisingly lightweight compared to traditional stainless steel designs.
Completing the royal aesthetic, Huawei pairs the watch face with a purple-and-gold titanium alloy strap and sapphire glass protecting the vibrant 1.5-inch LTPO AMOLED display – a jewelry-like approach to smart wearables that contrasts with more functional options like prescription smart glasses.
Premium Performance Features
Beyond its opulent exterior, this pro-tier device delivers serious functionality: 150-meter water resistance enables professional diving, while its underwater sonar messaging system lets divers communicate without surfacing – ideal for tech-enhanced expeditions.
The eSIM-enabled smartwatch supports cellular calling independence from smartphones, while Health Glance generates 10 health metrics in 60 seconds and dual-frequency GNSS ensures precision tracking – features that rival specialized fall detection wearables in sophistication.
Currently available in Spain, France, and Germany for €3,299, with a UK launch imminent at £2,999.99, this device sits significantly above mainstream smart wearables in both price and prestige.
The Smart Wearables Perspective
Huawei’s global expansion of this luxury model confirms its commitment to jewelry-first tech strategy. At £3,000, the Royal Gold edition competes with high-end watchmakers like TAG Heuer rather than functional favorites like prescription smart glasses or fitness trackers.
While the impressive 150m dive rating and eSIM capabilities excite tech enthusiasts, questions linger about long-term viability. Can luxury smart wearables maintain their status appeal when facing inevitable battery degradation and software updates?
Ultimately, this release appears more about establishing Huawei’s luxury credentials than serving practical needs – though as a statement piece for phone-free wearables connoisseurs, it certainly makes waves.
