Huawei’s first jeweled smartwatch, the Watch Ultimate Design Spring Edition, is now available across Europe. Developed in collaboration with jewelry designer Francesca Amfitheatrof, this limited-edition wearable blends high-end materials with comprehensive health tracking—at a price that firmly plants it in luxury territory.
A Jewelry-First Approach to Wearables
The Spring Edition distinguishes itself immediately: 99 diamonds set in a vine pattern adorn the silver-tone metal strap. The case is crafted from titanium, and the 1.38-inch AMOLED display sits beneath a diamond-cut sapphire crystal. It’s a clear statement—this is jewelry that happens to be a smartwatch, not the other way around.
Health Features: More Than Just Looks
Beneath the luxury exterior sits Huawei’s X-TAP sensor, enabling monitoring of cardiovascular and respiratory health metrics. The watch supports over 100 workout modes for exercise logging. Key health features include:
- Continuous heart rate and SpO₂ monitoring
- ECG capability (region-dependent)
- Skin temperature tracking
- Stress and sleep analysis
- Women’s health tracking
Connectivity and Safety
The built-in eSIM enables standalone cellular calls—no phone required. An Emergency SOS feature adds a safety layer, particularly valuable for a device marketed toward active users who might venture off-grid.
Battery Life
Huawei claims up to three days of typical use, or five days in battery saver mode. Real-world mileage will vary with always-on display usage, cellular activity, and workout tracking frequency.
Pricing and Availability
The Watch Ultimate Design Spring Edition retails for £3,499.99 / €3,799.00 on Huawei’s European online store. It launches alongside a special edition of the Watch GT Runner 2, expanding Huawei’s premium wearable portfolio in the region.
For context, the standard Watch Ultimate Design (without the Spring Edition’s diamond detailing) launched at roughly half this price. You’re paying a significant premium for the Amfitheatrof collaboration and those 99 diamonds.
Who Is This For?
This isn’t a mass-market device. It’s targeted at buyers who view a smartwatch as an accessory first and a gadget second—people who’d consider a mechanical watch in this price bracket but want health tracking and connectivity. If you’re comparing it against a Garmin Fenix 8 or Apple Watch Ultra 2 on specs-per-dollar, you’re missing the point.
