The latest smartwatches are designed to offer enhanced child safety, communication features, fitness tracking, and smart connectivity, while the Pro model introduces a unique detachable camera system that sets it apart from most kids’ wearables in the market.
The latest offering by the brand focuses on parental controls, real-time location tracking, video calling, and durable designs suited for children. Huawei says the devices are designed to help parents stay connected with their kids while also encouraging healthier, safer digital habits.
Huawei Watch Kids X1 and X1 Pro Features & Specifications
Both the Watch Kids X1 and Watch Kids X1 Pro feature a 1.82-inch AMOLED display with a 480 x 408-pixel resolution and a pre-applied anti-sunlight screen-protective film. The smartwatches support 4G connectivity, allowing children to make voice and video calls independently without a nearby smartphone.
Advanced positioning technology that supports multiple satellite systems and AI-powered location tracking has also been included in both watches. Parents can monitor their child’s live location, set safe zones, and receive alerts when the child enters or exits designated areas.
The Huawei Watch Kids X1 and X1 Pro sport a 5MP, 110-degree wide-angle front camera and a 13MP rear camera for photos and HD video calls via Huawei’s FamCare app.
Keeping child safety in mind, Huawei has provided dual-band GNSS positioning, dual-band Wi-Fi for indoor assistance, cellular connectivity, WLAN, Bluetooth, and GNSS in both models. Apart from this, parents can also check real-time activity, 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 through the FamCare app.
In terms of storage, both models include 2GB RAM. The Watch Kids X1 has 32GB of storage, while the X1 Pro has 64 GB. Sensors include a barometer, gyroscope, accelerometer, optical heart rate sensor, magnetometer, and Hall effect sensor. They also come with a speaker, microphone, and 2 ATM ratings for water resistance, with IP68 and IP69K ratings.
Both models include messaging support, classroom mode, fitness tracking features, step counting, and activity reminders. The watches also support Huawei’s family companion app for parental management.
Battery Life and Performance
Huawei claims both smartwatches can deliver up to 14 days of battery life under typical usage conditions, with 8,500 mAh battery. The company has also added intelligent power management features to improve standby efficiency.
The watches support magnetic charging and feature optimised software for smoother performance and faster app response times.
What’s Different in Huawei Watch Kids X1 Pro
With almost all the features the same, the Watch Kids X1 Pro comes with a detachable body that fits in the accompanying camera case. Unlike traditional smartwatches, the camera module can be removed and used independently, allowing children to capture photos and videos more conveniently.
Huawei says the detachable camera supports HD video calls and enhanced photography features. The camera system also improves flexibility during online interactions and remote communication between parents and children.
The standard Watch Kids X1 includes a regular integrated front camera for video calling, but does not feature the detachable mechanism available on the Pro model.
