Polar launches Polar Street X for hybrid training

Polar launches a new watch

Street X is designed for sports enthusiasts and health-conscious urban users

It supports more than 170 activities, including strength and functional training

Recovery and sleep tracking tools inform users of when they’re ready to train again

Polar has launched a durable, “urban-ready” sports watch offering training and recovery features and long-lasting battery life at a more affordable price point. 

Street X is designed for sport enthusiasts and health‑conscious urban users whose routines span structured workouts and spontaneous movement. Supporting more than 170 sports and activities, it covers traditional activities, such as running and cycling, as well as modalities like strength training, functional training and calisthenics. 

With recovery and sleep tracking tools, the watch also supports users in knowing when they are ready to train again. The sleep tracking feature detects sleep duration, quality, and stages. It also monitors nighttime heart rate, heart rate variability, autonomic nervous system activity and includes nightly skin temperature measurement.

“More than half of the world’s population lives in urban areas, turning cities into our everyday training grounds,” says Sander Werring, CEO of Polar. “With Street X, we responded to this demand by creating a rugged, design-led watch that combines Polar’s training credibility with bold, everyday wearability and durability at a more accessible price, ready to handle gym sessions, street runs and daily life.”

For the first time, an LED flashlight has been integrated, as well as GPS and route guidance.
