The Huawei Watch Ultimate smartwatch receives a new global update. Reports indicate that this is a relatively minor update that is being rolled out in phases. There’s one notable absence in the patch notes: users will have to wait a little longer to benefit from a new payment feature announced last year.

Huawei is rolling out a new global update for the Watch Ultimate, version 5.0.0.21 (SP1C00M02). This update follows the release of firmware version 5.0.0.13, the first global update of HarmonyOS 5.0 for Watch Ultimate.

Firmware version 5.0.0.21(SP1C00M02) has been reported at https://www.huaweiblog.de/news/huawei-watch-ultimate-update-januar-2025/ for standard models of the Huawei Watch Ultimate in Travel Blue and in black shipping (currently €573 at Amazon DE). However, she doesn’t seem to have reached Watch Ultimate Green yet. The update is relatively minor, a 36.78 MB file. The changelog states that the release brings system stability optimizations to the Watch Ultimate in “certain situations.” Unfortunately, no additional information is provided to explain exactly what improvements have been made.

One notable absence from this 5.0.0.21 update is the NFC payment feature, which was announced for the Watch Ultimate, Watch GT 5, and Watch GT 5 Pro wearables last year. At the time, the company said it would roll out to users in the first six months of 2025. Users of the Huawei Watch Ultimate smartwatch will be able to download firmware version 5.0.0.13 (SP2C00M02) and future updates updated via the Huawei Health app.
