Design and display
Street X measures 45 × 45 × 13.8 mm and weighs 48 g with its band. Polar specifies a 1.28-inch, 416 × 416 AMOLED touchscreen under Gorilla Glass 3, WR50 water resistance and MIL-STD-810H testing.
Running and everyday features
Built-in GPS, a barometer, compass, breadcrumb routes, route guidance and back-to-start cover core urban running needs. Street X supports more than 170 sports and adds an integrated LED flashlight with white and red-light modes. Its Precision Prime optical heart-rate system supports Polar’s training, sleep and recovery tools. We have not independently tested accuracy or durability.
Battery
Polar claims up to 43 hours in performance training mode, 170 hours in eco training mode and 10 days in smartwatch mode. Eco mode reduces recording frequency and disables optical heart rate, while always-on display use can shorten battery life.
