Opinion
The Apple Watch Ultra made quite a ado when it released late last yr for the fact that it finally gave Apple a combat opportunity against the likes of Garmin and Coros , which have long been favourites among marathon contrabandist and adventurers alike . Huawei will emphatically have an uphill conflict on its hands as there are several features find in competing premium phones ( like offline Spotify funding ) that ca n’t be found here , but the Ultimate presents a promising concept , not the least because of its design .
From first glimpse , the Ultimate look like a genuine diver ’s sentry with plenty of style to boot – the character of lookout that I ’d like to wear , even if it was n’t smart . Only thorough examination will show whether Huawei ’s ambitiousness have been suffer , so keep an eye out for our full reexamination in the coming week .
