HUAWEI has introduced the HUAWEI WATCH Kids X1 in the Philippines, expanding its smart wearable portfolio with a smartwatch designed to enhance child safety, family connectivity, and independent exploration through AI-powered location tracking and parental controls.
Set to officially launch on June 30, 2026, the smartwatch will be available at an early promotional price of ₱13,999 beginning June 23, alongside exclusive online and offline launch offers.
AI-Powered Tracking Enhances Child Safety
The HUAWEI WATCH Kids X1 is equipped with HUAWEI’s proprietary network-based location service, combining GPS, BeiDou, GLONASS, Galileo, and QZSS satellite positioning systems to provide accurate real-time location tracking.
The smartwatch uses dual-band GNSS for outdoor positioning and dual-band Wi-Fi to improve indoor location accuracy in places such as shopping malls and schools. Parents can monitor their children’s whereabouts through the HUAWEI FamCare app, which provides near real-time location updates.
To further improve safety, parents can create customizable safe and danger zones, receiving instant alerts whenever a child enters or approaches designated areas. The integrated School Guard feature also notifies parents when children arrive at or leave school and home.
Comprehensive Family Safety Tools
The accompanying FamCare application serves as a centralized parental dashboard, allowing guardians to monitor battery status, manage contacts and chats, review device usage, and enable features such as nighttime restrictions and automatic blocking of unknown callers.
A dedicated Class Mode minimizes distractions during school hours by displaying only the time while allowing emergency calls to remain accessible.
In emergency situations, children can activate an SOS alert by pressing the smartwatch’s side button five times, automatically calling pre-approved family members in sequence.
The smartwatch also supports HD video calling with AI-powered noise cancellation, enabling clearer conversations even in noisy environments such as playgrounds or school buses. Global 2G, 3G, and 4G connectivity allows children to stay connected with approved contacts while traveling abroad.
AI Learns Daily Routines
The WATCH Kids X1 leverages Converged Positioning Algorithm 2.0, an AI-powered self-learning system that gradually recognizes frequently visited locations to improve positioning accuracy over time.
The smartwatch also encourages healthy habits through step tracking, activity leaderboards, and peer encouragement features.
For wellness monitoring, an integrated PPG optical heart rate sensor provides heart rate tracking while translating emotional states into visual icons that parents can view through the FamCare app’s Growth section. Long-term health trends can also be reviewed through daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly reports.
Designed for Creativity
Beyond safety, HUAWEI positions the WATCH Kids X1 as an interactive device that encourages creativity.
The smartwatch features an industry-first 1.82-inch horizontal AMOLED display mounted on a body capable of rotating 360 degrees, allowing children to easily adjust viewing and camera angles.
Photography is powered by a 5MP ultra-wide front camera and a 13MP rear HD camera, supported by multi-frame noise reduction and a dedicated Night Mode.
With 32GB of internal storage, users can save thousands of photos and instantly share them through One-Tap Photo Sharing. Personalization options include 40 official watch faces, more than 100 stickers, 14 kid-friendly filters, and six photo styles.
Built for Active Lifestyles
The smartwatch introduces Shake to Add Friends, allowing children using compatible HUAWEI WATCH Kids devices to connect with nearby friends, subject to parental approval through the FamCare app.
Designed for everyday adventures, the device carries IPX8 and IPX9 (2 ATM) water resistance, making it suitable for swimming, beach trips, and daily use.
Its 850mAh battery provides up to 32 hours of usage, while fast charging restores 50% battery capacity in approximately 20 minutes.
