Both devices focus on basic fitness tracking and long battery life rather than advanced smartwatch features. Here\u2019s a complete breakdown of the two.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>HMD Watch X1<\/p>\n<p>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 \u00d7 466 and a peak brightness of 600 nits.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The watch carries an IP68 rating as ingress protection and can last about five days on a single charge.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/HMD-Watch-X1-Launch.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-724790\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>The Watch X1 comes in Gray Green, Black, Gray Metallic, and Silver Leather colors.<\/p>\n<p>HMD Watch P1<\/p>\n<p>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 \u00d7 240 and a maximum brightness of 550 nits.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Its IP67 rating means it\u2019s protected against dust and some water exposure, but it\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/HMD-Watch-P1-Launch-Specs-Price.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-724791\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>There are clear limitations, though. Neither smartwatch supports GPS or NFC, which means activities can\u2019t be tracked independently outdoors, and contactless payments are off the table. Many features will rely heavily on being connected to a smartphone.<\/p>\n<p>HMD has not yet announced pricing or release timelines for either model.<\/p>\n<p>For more daily updates, please visit our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gizmochina.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">News Section<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t miss a thing!\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/gizmochinaofficial\" rel=\"nofollow\">Join our Telegram community<\/a>\u00a0for instant updates and grab our<a href=\"https:\/\/gizmochina.beehiiv.com\/subscribe\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0free daily newsletter\u00a0<\/a>for the best tech stories!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HMD has quietly expanded its wearable lineup with the launch of two new smartwatches, the Watch X1 and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":253135,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[356,73024,146675,111,139,69,145],"class_list":{"0":"post-253134","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gadgets","8":"tag-gadgets","9":"tag-hmd","10":"tag-hmd-watch-x1","11":"tag-new-zealand","12":"tag-newzealand","13":"tag-nz","14":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=253134"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253134\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/253135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=253134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=253134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=253134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
