Polar Electro has introduced the Street X, a new sports smartwatch aimed at users who want fitness tracking in a more durable, everyday form factor. The device combines training tools, recovery tracking, and long battery life with a design built for regular city use.
Street X features a 1.28-inch AMOLED touchscreen with Gorilla Glass 3 protection. It includes built-in GPS, along with a compass and barometer, enabling route guidance and outdoor tracking without a connected phone. The watch supports more than 170 sports and activities, covering running, cycling, strength training, HIIT, functional training, and calisthenics.
The build focuses on durability. The watch uses a reinforced polymer body with an eight-screw chassis and weighs 48 grams. It is tested to MIL-STD-810H standards and offers WR50 water resistance, making it suitable for workouts and everyday exposure to water.
A new addition is an integrated LED flashlight with white and red light modes. The white light is intended for visibility in low-light conditions, while the red light helps reduce strain on the eyes in dark environments.
On the health side, Street X includes Polar Precision Prime optical heart rate tracking. It monitors heart rate, heart rate variability, and skin temperature. The watch also supports Training Load Pro for tracking workout strain and long-term cardio load. Nightly Recharge provides recovery insights based on overnight measurements. Sleep tracking includes duration, quality, and stages such as light, deep, and REM sleep, along with data on nighttime heart rate and autonomic nervous system activity.
Battery performance is a key part of the device. Street X delivers up to 10 days of battery life in smartwatch mode. During training, it supports up to 43 hours with continuous GPS and heart rate tracking. With power-saving settings enabled, usage can extend up to 170 hours.
The watch integrates with the Polar Flow app and web service for planning and reviewing workouts. Additional features include large buttons for easier control, 22 mm quick-release strap support, and a replaceable battery.
Pricing & availability
Street X is available globally starting today through Polar’s official website and select retail partners. It comes in Night Black and Snow White, with a third option, Forest Green, launching first in limited quantities on Polar’s website before a wider rollout in the second quarter. The watch is priced at EUR 249.90 and GBP 219.00, including VAT where applicable, and USD 249.90 excluding tax. Additional wristbands will be sold separately.
