Huawei's Huawei Watch Ultimate receives HarmonyOS 5.0 in a global update. The first series of wearables to benefit from the latest version of HarmonyOS was the Watch GT 5 which launched in September. Today, firmware version 5.0.0.13 (SP2C00M02) brings HarmonyOS 5.0 to the Watch Ultimate.
According to the changelog shared by tipsters on HC Newsroom, this version refreshes the user interface.

Users can now take screenshots, which are viewable on their smartphone. Additionally, there are additional watch faces and a new golf app. Huawei says it has improved screen transitions and alarm functionality. It also optimized push notifications to make the source and total number of notifications received clearer.
