Is the Garmin Descent MK3 the best freediving watch out there, or is Huawei catching up?

I've been diving with a Garmin Descent MK2 for a while and it's been great, but I've had my share of issues with it. The MK3 looks like a serious upgrade and seems to be what everyone recommends right now, but Garmin pricing is Garmin pricing.

Then I started seeing the Huawei Watch Ultimate 2. It looks incredible and it's cheaper than the MK3i.

But I don't know anyone who actually freedives with one. Looking good in a press release and performing reliably at depth are two different things.

Is the dive community too locked into Garmin/Suunto/Shearwater, or are the newer brands genuinely competitive?
