The Polar Street X is the first big launch from the Finnish brand in 2026 and the first Polar watch to have a built-in flashlight. It also brings a rugged new look to the brand's line-up with its chunky plastic design, and undercuts the Polar Vantage M3 to be the most affordable GPS watch Polar sells.
While it gets the job done as a fitness tracker, diligently logging workouts and providing training analysis and recovery advice, the GPS and heart rate accuracy are not as good as on the best sports watches, and the Street X’s user interface and partner app feel outdated.
