Huawei just dropped a Dhs 13,000 gold smartwatch in the UAE

If you thought the Apple Watch Ultra 2 was pricey, Huawei has entered the chat with something significantly more opulent. The Huawei Watch Ultimate Design Royal Gold Edition is now official in the UAE, with its official price set at Dhs 12,999. This makes the Huawei Watch Ultimate Design Royal Gold Edition price in UAE a significant investment.

According to Huawei's official announcement, the device is available immediately across the emirates. It targets the ultra-luxury segment, blending real 18K gold with the health and diving tech found in the standard Ultimate model. It's a bold move that positions this Huawei luxury smartwatch as a legitimate piece of jewellery rather than just a tech accessory.

Design and materials

The main reason for the five-figure price tag is the build quality. Huawei has used a zirconium-based liquid metal for the case, which is stronger and more wear-resistant than standard titanium or steel. The bezel features a rare-earth purple ceramic that is fired at 1,400°C to get its distinct colour.

The standout feature is the inclusion of six segments of 18K gold hand-inlaid into the bezel. The strap continues the theme, made from a titanium alloy with gold accents and a purple ion plating. It is undeniably flashy, but that is exactly what this segment of the market demands. The watch face is covered by sapphire glass, ensuring it stays scratch-free.

Adventure and golf features

Despite the luxury materials, this isn't just for show. The watch supports diving up to 150 metres, which is deeper than most recreational divers will ever go. It includes sonar-based underwater communication, allowing divers to send messages up to 30 metres to other supported devices.

For golfers, the watch includes a professional Course Mode with over 17,000 maps. It offers an AI caddie, plays-like distance calculations, and custom measurement tools. This focus on niche sports performance mirrors the approach we saw in our Whoop MG review, where specialized data justifies the investment for enthusiasts.

Health and smart features

The watch runs on Huawei's TruSense system for health monitoring. It tracks heart rate, SpO2, and sleep quality, providing the kind of detailed metrics we recently saw in Oura's sleep data report. It also includes emotional wellbeing insights and stress analysis.

On the smart front, it supports eSIM cellular calling, meaning you can leave your phone behind and still take calls. It works with both Android and iOS, though some features are usually smoother when paired with a Huawei phone.
