Polar has unveiled the Polar Grit X2 Pro premium outdoor smartwatch, described as its “most premium outdoor sports watch to date”. It’s packed with fitness-tracking and navigation features that certainly look worthy of inclusion in our best running watch guide – and best of all, despite its premium tag, it’s still cheaper than many of the best Garmin watches sporting similar profiles.
The Polar Grit X2 Pro is a chunky-looking stainless steel watch sporting a 326ppi 1.39-inch AMOLED touchscreen, 15% larger than the original Grit X Pro. It offers up to 43-hour battery life in performance training mode and up to 10 days in smartwatch mode, and it’s also got an “eco-performance mode”, which presumably cuts some features off while in GPS mode in order to extend the battery life to 140 hours, so you’re good for multi-day outdoors events.
