Huawei is preparing a smartwatch specifically for children; the wearable in question will be known globally as the Huawei Watch Kid or as the Huawei Honor Xiao K in its home country, China. It received certification from the Global Certification Forum (GCF) on November 30th, 2015.
The Huawei Watch Kid (or Huawei Honor Xiao K) is synonymous with the model number – ‘Huawei K1-G01’ and is expected to be the company’s second smartwatch with the luxury-looking Huawei Watch being the first. It was certified with compatibility with 2G mobile networks only (GSM 1900/1800/900 MHz frequency bands).
The smartwatch would end up running Google’s Android Wear OS, packs a single Nano SIM slot fastened with a safety mechanism which childrens will not find easy to remove and sports a 1.3-inch Plastic AMOLED display with a resolution of 128 x 88 pixels (this definitely means no circular display).
Being aimed at kids, the Huawei Watch Kid will also come with a SOS/emergency feature and is IP55 certified to be both waterproof and dustproof. It connects to mobile devices (both tablets and smartphones) running Android 4.4 Kitkat OS (and above) and iOS 7 (and above) via Bluetooth 4.0 and is backed by a 300mAh battery.
