Huawei has updated its WATCH Ultimate 2 smartwatch, introducing a new ski mountaineering mode. This addition brings the total number of skiing-related activity modes to six, covering both indoor and outdoor environments as well as cross-country skiing.
The new ski mountaineering mode is designed for activities involving alternating climbing and descending. Users can import GPX, KML, and TCX route files, track remaining distance and elevation in real-time, and utilize a return-to-path feature. The watch records metrics such as speed, slope, altitude, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels.
The device includes maps for over 3,000 ski resorts across 59 countries, which can be downloaded for offline use. New features for outdoor skiing include turn detection and G-Force monitoring during maneuvers. The watch is available in several colors, with prices starting at ¥6,499 and reaching ¥6,999 for special editions.
Additionally, the WATCH Ultimate 2 series has begun receiving the HarmonyOS 7.0.0.116 update. This software release introduces new features such as notification summaries and wrist-flick gesture controls, alongside a system interface redesign and a high uric acid risk assessment research tool.
