I was a bit confused when Polar announced the Grit X2 earlier this year – surely, this watch has already been out for a while? Then I realised I was thinking about the Garmin Fenix-rival Polar Grit X2 Pro, one of the most exciting outdoor watch launches from 2024.
One might say that the Polar Grit X2 is the watered-down version of the Pro version, but I think it’s quite the opposite. Just like the Garmin Fenix 8, the Grit X2 Pro can be intimidating for those unfamiliar with rugged smartwatches. Not to mention, they are often chunky and quite heavy.
