What to watch, what to skip
Watch order: filler vs canon
You're in luck! X-Men doesn't have a single filler episode: all 12 episodes are canon. It's a faithful adaptation of the original manga, so you can enjoy it from first to last without skipping anything or checking any list of expendable episodes.
The 12 episodes of X-Men aired in 2011 and follow the story's chronological order. There are no transition episodes, no needless recaps, no arcs invented by the studio: every chapter advances the main plot and develops the characters just as the source material does.
In short, the watch order for X-Men is as simple as it gets: start at episode 1 and keep going to episode 12 without detours. If you came looking for which X-Men episodes are filler so you could skip them, the answer is that there aren't any.
