Polar’s latest isn’t trying to be your next smartwatch, but it might be the brand’s clearest shot yet at an everyday fitness tracker. Announced today, the Polar Street X is a new rugged sports watch designed to move between workouts and everyday life, specifically in urban environments.
To that end, the Street X keeps things lightweight without sacrificing durability. It pairs a 1.28-inch AMOLED touchscreen with Gorilla Glass 3 and a reinforced polymer body, all in a 48g build. It’s also tested to MIL-STD-810H standards and rated for WR50 water resistance. According to Polar, the watch is directed at athletes balancing both indoor and outdoor workouts, as well as apparently aggressive commutes.
