The Lenovo Watch X is a traditional-looking metal watch with simple alarms, but at 81 g it is uncomfortable to wear overnight and runs are counted by steps only.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Lenovo Watch X

  • Premium design with a stylish analog watch face and high-quality materials
  • Excellent battery life, with claims of up to 45 days on standby and at least several weeks in real-world usage
  • Affordable price point for a hybrid watch with built-in sensors
  • Strong water resistance, rated up to 8 ATM (80 metres) for activities like showering or swimming
  • Includes essential health features like a heart rate monitor, pedometer, and sleep tracking

What we don't like about Lenovo Watch X

  • Poor software experience with a companion app described as buggy, poorly translated, and filled with ads
  • Unreliable tracking accuracy for steps and heart rate compared to more established brands
  • Confusing time calibration process that requires entering the watch's current incorrect time rather than the actual time
  • Minimalist OLED digital display is very small and difficult to read in direct sunlight
  • Magnetic Milanese strap can cause the watch to slide or loosen frequently due to the weight of the metal casing
  • Lack of advanced features like built-in GPS, music control, or an extensive app ecosystem

Verdict

The Lenovo Watch X is a hybrid smartwatch featuring a 316L stainless steel chassis, a 1.5-inch grayscale OLED digital display integrated into an analog face, and a scratch-resistant sapphire glass lens. Its key specifications include an 8ATM waterproof rating, Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, and an optical heart rate sensor, alongside a 600mAh battery that offers an impressive standby time of up to 45 days. Main pros include its classic, high-quality build and comfortable Milanese strap, which allow it to pass for a traditional timepiece while providing essential fitness metrics like heart rate, sleep tracking, and step counts at an affordable price point. However, notable cons include significant data inaccuracies, a flawed and ad-heavy companion app, and a small digital display that is virtually unreadable under direct sunlight.
