The Black Shark Watch X Pro has officially launched in China, bringing a rare combination of independent connectivity and a built-in camera to the mid-range smartwatch segment. Designed by Black Shark — the gaming-focused brand known for its high-performance smartphones — this watch packs 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, and a 2MP rotating camera into a sleek wearable that runs a customised Android-based OS.
- Black Shark Watch X Pro features a 1.75-inch AMOLED display (466×466 px, 700 nits) and a 2MP hidden rotating camera for video calls and photos.
- It supports 4G LTE and Wi-Fi for standalone connectivity, and a 900mAh battery delivers up to 75 hours of use on a single charge.
- Priced at CNY 899 (approx. Rs 10,491), global availability has not yet been announced.
Black Shark Watch X Pro Display and Design
The Watch X Pro sports a 1.75-inch AMOLED panel with a resolution of 466 × 466 pixels and a peak brightness of 700 nits. That level of brightness makes the screen easily readable in direct sunlight — a practical advantage for an outdoor-oriented audience. The overall design takes cues from Black Shark's gaming aesthetic while remaining wearable in everyday settings.
Black Shark Watch X Pro Key Features
What sets the Watch X Pro apart is the 180-degree rotating camera concealed inside the crown. This 2-megapixel sensor can capture high-definition photos and videos, and — unusually for a smartwatch at this price point — it also supports video calls. Pair that with built-in 4G LTE and Wi-Fi, and the watch can operate entirely independently of a paired smartphone.
The device runs a customised Android-based operating system rather than standard Wear OS, giving users access to apps through the Black Shark App Store. Local music playback is supported, so you can leave your phone behind during workouts. The Black Shark ecosystem continues to expand beyond gaming phones with wearables like this one.
Battery Life
A 900mAh battery powers the Watch X Pro, with Black Shark claiming up to 75 hours of life on a single charge. That is a competitive figure among smartwatches offering LTE support, where battery drain is typically higher than in Bluetooth-only models.
Connectivity and Software
Beyond 4G LTE, the watch includes Wi-Fi support, rounding out its standalone communication credentials. The Black Shark App Store provides a curated selection of applications, offering a degree of personalisation that is less common in entry-level LTE smartwatches.
Black Shark Watch X Pro Price and Availability
The Black Shark Watch X Pro is priced at CNY 899, which converts to approximately Rs 10,491 at current exchange rates. The watch is currently available in China. Black Shark has not yet announced a global release date or pricing for other markets.
