Being a businessman means always exploring your limits and constantly overcoming unforeseen obstacles. It may not be a performance sport, but it has in common the need for strategy, ambition and the ability to not give up regardless of the barriers that appear.
That’s why, just like in sports, in business you need technology to be your companion on the road, especially if you have the latest innovations on your side that can make your life easier.
Liviu Popescu, co-owner of the Fratelli group and co-founder of the RO-Wine wine festival, who recently tested the newest smart watch in the HUAWEI portfolio, WATCH Ultimate 2, admits it with conviction, which he says has quickly entered his daily routine. Through the mix of functions, it has become a reliable partner for the businessman, and the reasons are simple: “HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate 2 brings together exactly the values that I also look for in this type of accessory: elegance in design, durability in daily use and performance in the most demanding conditions.”, admits Liviu Popescu. The new smart watch is available for purchase on the HUAWEI Store, the brand’s official online store in Romania.
Efficiency in business and training: “Huawei Watch Ultimate 2 quickly entered my daily routine”
A businessman’s day is always full, and the challenge is to balance work and the time he dedicates, for example to relaxation or exercise. Liviu Popescu says that WATCH Ultimate 2 integrated very quickly into his daily habits, the most used functions being those for business and for training: “In business, it helps me to always be connected – I can instantly see important notifications, calls and meetings, without having to constantly hold the phone in my hand. And on the movement side, it is my ideal training partner: it precisely monitors my effort, sleep and stress level, helping me balance my work and active lifestyle.”
Both categories help him in a very important tactic for him: efficiency. “The training functions help me monitor my progress and optimize my sports sessions, and the business ones, such as notifications, calendar or calls, give me more efficiency in my daily activities,” says the businessman.
Also in the “efficiency” category, the WATCH Ultimate 2 comes with a feature that’s extremely useful for the races against time that turn out to be an entrepreneur’s days. Although it is impossible to go a day without having contact with the phone, the watch brings an extra that contributes to an easier experience: the eSim function can take calls directly on the smartwatch, without the need to have the phone next to you, even in power saving mode. As Liviu Popescu tells after testing it, it keeps you permanently connected: “I tested calls directly from the HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate 2 via eSIM and I use them frequently. The function is very useful, especially on busy days, when I don’t always have my phone at hand. As a businessman, I can’t afford to be completely disconnected, but with the HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate 2 I can put my phone away for a few hours without worry I stay connected, I can answer calls and messages right from the watch, which gives me flexibility and efficiency.”
Powerful health monitoring features: “Helps me maintain a balanced lifestyle and make adjustments where needed.”
The balance between work and health is essential for Liviu Popescu, and testing the watch revealed aspects about his lifestyle that he will take into account in the future. HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate 2 integrates the TruSense™ system, which, together with X-TAP technology, provides a complete picture of the state of health. With a simple touch of the side sensor, the watch analyzes 11 essential indicators of physical and emotional state, from stress level and body temperature to blood oxygen saturation.
“Using the health monitoring functions, I discovered some useful things about my lifestyle. The watch helps me control my stress level, which made me more aware of my overall health. This information helps me maintain a balanced lifestyle and make adjustments where needed,” reports Liviu Popescu.
WATCH Ultimate 2 accompanies you in outdoor activities with innovative functions
Breaks and disconnection from the daily routine are essential for anyone and equally for a businessman. WATCH Ultimate 2 surprises not only with functions for business, but also for outdoor experiences, allowing you to track valuable indicators. “I really like the watch because I can use it in all my sports activities. Both in golf sessions and hiking, it helps me monitor my effort level and stay connected with my fitness goals,” admits Liviu Popescu.
He discovered in the new smartwatch a smart golf coach. The watch provides access to detailed maps of golf courses that can be zoomed in without losing detail, and through the HUAWEI Health app, every shot can be analyzed in detail, from the trajectory of the ball to the key moments of the game. “In golf, I appreciate dedicated features like distance and stroke tracking that give me useful information about my game,” he says.
If we talk about hiking, WATCH Ultimate 2 remains a reliable partner. Expedition Mode provides all relevant information in real time: altitude, atmospheric pressure, average speed, heart rate, battery level and weather warnings. And if the route becomes difficult, the Route Back function guides you safely back to the starting point.
Moreover, the SunFlower positioning system offers outstanding GPS accuracy, thanks to advanced algorithms that improve accuracy, with the signal remaining stable even in difficult areas. “In hiking, the precise GPS, barometer and pulse monitoring are extremely useful – especially on long routes or in mountainous areas. In addition, the extended battery autonomy gives me the certainty that I can count on the watch even in long-term activities,” adds Liviu Popescu.
In terms of autonomy, in power saving mode, the watch can work for up to 11 days without charging, keeping essential functions active, and in standard mode, it offers up to 4.5 days of full use.
“HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate 2 is a successful balance between advanced technology and sophistication.”
The design of the new WATCH Ultimate 2 integrates perfectly both in a business style that pays attention to details, and in the suite of outdoor adventure equipment. Liviu Popescu himself appreciates its versatility: “Whether I’m at the office, in an important meeting or on the mountain, hiking or more intense sports, the watch adapts perfectly to my active lifestyle, but also attentive to details.”
The watch comes in two color options, Blue and Black, and the design has been thought for style and durability: the octagonal case is made of zirconium-based liquid metal, and nanocrystalline ceramics and sapphire glass contribute to strength and protection against wear. Visibility is excellent, even in sunlight, thanks to brightness that can reach up to 3,500 nits.
Liviu Popescu is convinced: “I really like the design of the HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate 2. It’s a very versatile model, with an elegant and sporty look at the same time. I like the fact that it has several strap options, which makes it easy to adapt to different outfits and occasions. It goes very well with the pieces in my wardrobe, whether I’m wearing something casual, business or sports. I can practically wear the watch in any context, from business meetings to training or outdoor activities.”
HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate 2 is now available on the HUAWEI Store in two variants: the model with Amorphous Zirconium case and black fluoroelastomer strap, at the price of 3,999 RON, and the version with a dual-color strap of the same premium material, at 4,999 RON. And for those who choose the new smartwatch, HUAWEI offers an exclusive gift: a pair of FreeBuds Pro 4 headphones and 10x points that can be used in the HUAWEI Store.
