HMD has quietly expanded its wearable lineup with the launch of two new smartwatches, the Watch X1 and Watch P1. Both devices focus on basic fitness tracking and long battery life rather than advanced smartwatch features. Here’s a complete breakdown of the two. 

HMD Watch X1

The Watch X1 sits at the higher end of the pair. It features a 1.43-inch circular AMOLED display with a resolution of 466 × 466 and a peak brightness of 600 nits. 

The watch carries an IP68 rating as ingress protection and can last about five days on a single charge. 

Health and wellness feature includes heart rate and blood oxygen sensors, along with sleep tracking and more than 700 sports modes. There are also basic health reminders, such as alerts for long periods of inactivity and water-drinking reminders.

The Watch X1 comes in Gray Green, Black, Gray Metallic, and Silver Leather colors.

HMD Watch P1

The Watch P1 takes a more budget-oriented approach. It comes with a larger 1.83-inch rectangular LCD display, though with a lower resolution of 284 × 240 and a maximum brightness of 550 nits. 

Its IP67 rating means it’s protected against dust and some water exposure, but it’s not suitable for swimming. The battery life is rated at up to four days, slightly less than the Watch X1, and it still includes 700 sports modes and sleep monitoring. Color options include Black and Silver.

There are clear limitations, though. Neither smartwatch supports GPS or NFC, which means activities can’t be tracked independently outdoors, and contactless payments are off the table. Many features will rely heavily on being connected to a smartphone.

HMD has not yet announced pricing or release timelines for either model.
