Manila — HUAWEI, the top smart wearable brand in the Philippines and worldwide[1], recently introduced the HUAWEI WATCH Kids X1, delivering accessible, high-end technology that meets the unique needs of the modern Filipino family.
For young family members, empowerment is all about safe, independent exploration without unnecessary distractions. The HUAWEI WATCH KIDS X1 simplifies the essential tools children need to explore, play, and grow independently in a simpler digital world.
The HUAWEI WATCH KIDS X1 will be available in the Philippines starting June 30, 2026, with an early promo price of PHP 13,999 starting June 23.
Accurate Smart Tracking[2] as the Ultimate Child Safety Measure
The HUAWEI WATCH KIDS X1 prioritizes accurate positioning capabilities powered by HUAWEI’s self-developed network-based location service. It supports GPS, BeiDou, GLONASS, Galileo, and QZSS positioning. Parents can track their children’s real-time location via the FamCare app[1] through the device’s Dual-band GNSS in outdoor environments and Dual-band Wi-Fi in complex indoor spaces. Whether a child is playing at the local park or navigating a crowded shopping mall, location updates refresh in near real time.
It also features customizable safe and danger zones, providing parents with instant notifications if their child enters or approaches a restricted area. The dedicated School Guard feature delivers automatic alerts when children safely arrive at or leave school and home, giving parents greater peace of mind throughout the day.
Comprehensive Parental Safeguards, AI-Powered AI-Powered Location Tracking, and Location Accuracy for Connected Families
Providing in-depth child protective measures, the HUAWEI FamCare app equips parents with customizable controls and seamless cross-device synchronization. With its clean and user-friendly interface, parents can manage chats, review usage time, monitor battery levels, and receive charging reminders. Additional safeguard features include parental control of nighttime usage and automatic rejection of unknown callers. A dedicated “Class Mode” mutes distractions during school hours by displaying only the time and permitting emergency calls.
The HUAWEI WATCH KIDS X1 also promotes physical and emotional well-being[2]. It uses a PPG optical heart rate sensor that translates a child’s emotions into visual icons, which parents can monitor in the FamCare app’s “Growth” section. They can also review long-term health trends with daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly heart rate views.
The watch’s tracking becomes increasingly accurate over time, thanks to its Converged Positioning Algorithm 2.0’s AI self-learning capability, which learns and recognizes the places kids frequent. Real-time step tracking encourages kids to stay active by competing on leaderboards and exchanging encouragement with peers.
Further boosting its safety features, the smartwatch supports HD video calls[1] with AI noise cancellation[2], ensuring voices come through clearly even in noisy environments like playgrounds or school buses. Kids can also seamlessly connect with approved contacts across borders due to its global 2G, 3G, and 4G connectivity.
In an emergency, users can press the side button five times to trigger an SOS alert and automatically call family members in sequence.
Unleash Creativity with a Rotatable 360° Watchface and Dual HD Cameras
Beyond safety, the device delivers an interactive and fun experience for kids. The WATCH KIDS X1 is available in vibrant Breezy Blue and Candy Pink colorways that come with a breathable silicone strap.
It features an industry-first 1.82-inch horizontal AMOLED screen designed for children’s wrists. A slimmer 13.4-mm profile and a compact 46-mm span make it comfortable during playtime outdoors. The watch body can be flipped straight, upright, and rotated 360 degrees, allowing children to find the best angles with ease.
Its robust photography capabilities spark kids’ creativity and curiosity. It features a 5-MP front camera with a 110-degree ultra-wide-angle lens for inclusive group selfies[3], paired with a sharp 13-MP rear HD camera. The device also guarantees crystal-clear shots with its multi-frame noise reduction algorithm and a dedicated Night Mode.
With 32GB of massive storage on the standard version, users can save thousands of photos and share them with family using One-Tap Photo Sharing. To further personalize their experience, kids can customize their display with 40 official watch faces, over 100 fun stickers, 14 kid-friendly filters[4], and 6 photo styles.
More Power and Social Features, Encouraging More Fun with Friends
The Shake to Add Friends feature[1] allows children to connect with other HUAWEI WATCH KIDS users nearby. All new friend requests require parental approval in the HUAWEI FamCare app to maintain a safe communication environment.
Its IPX8 and IPX9 (2 ATM) swimming-grade water resistance means kids can wear it anywhere from washing their hands to splashing in the pool or beach adventures. The watch features an 850 mAh battery that supports up to 32 hours of battery life. With fast-charging technology, it powers up to 50%[2] in just 20 minutes, so the fun keeps going all day long.
