Huawei has launched two new smartwatches built for children. The Huawei Watch Kids X1 and Watch Kids X1 Pro were announced globally at the company’s Innovative Product Launch, alongside the Watch Fit 5 series, Watch Ultimate Design Spring Edition, and Watch GT Runner 2 Racing Legend Edition.
What makes the design different?
Both watches use a kid-focused design with a flippable and 360-degree rotatable body. The Watch Kids X1 comes with a soft silicone strap, while the Pro model adds a detachable design that lets the watch sit inside a camera case included in the box. Huawei says this lets children use it more like a camera for taking pictures.
The watches feature a 1.82-inch AMOLED display with a 480 x 408 pixel resolution and a pre-applied anti-sunlight screen protective film. Both models also include a 5MP 110-degree wide front camera and a 13MP rear camera for photos and HD video calls through Huawei’s FamCare app.
How does Huawei track safety?
Huawei is also focusing heavily on child safety. The Watch Kids X1 series supports dual-band GNSS positioning, dual-band Wi-Fi for indoor assistance, cellular connectivity, WLAN, Bluetooth, and GNSS. Through the FamCare app, parents can check real-time activity status, set safe or dangerous zones, receive alerts when children enter or leave those areas, take video calls from the watch, set focus time, limit app use, and block calls.
There is also an Emergency SOS button on the side. Pressing it five times can send an SOS message or place a call using cellular connectivity. Health features include emotional well-being monitoring and heart rate tracking.
Both watches include 2GB of RAM. The Watch Kids X1 has 32GB of storage, while the X1 Pro gets 64GB. Sensors include a barometer, gyroscope, accelerometer, optical heart rate sensor, magnetometer, and Hall effect sensor. They also come with a speaker, microphone, 2 ATM, IP68, and IP69 water resistance, and up to one day of typical battery life.
Pricing & availability
The Huawei Watch Kids X1 comes in Blue and Pink for 249 euros, about $293. The Watch Kids X1 Pro comes in Black and Purple for 349 euros, about $410. Both models are expected to go on sale soon across several countries.
