Polar, the leader in wearable sports and fitness technology for nearly 50 years, has announced the next generation of its ultra-durable and extremely-capable outdoor sports watch.
Perfect for anyone who wants to explore
more, Polar Grit X2 Pro has been reimagined with a brilliant AMOLED touchscreen
display, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass, high-strength
stainless-steel front casing, dual-frequency GPS, and innovative biosensing
technologies powered by Polar Elixir™. Polar Grit X2 Pro also offers robust
navigation tools, including offline maps, plus all the training, recovery, and
sleep tracking features that Polar is famous for.
This is Polar’s most premium outdoor sports watch to date, packing
decades of science, innovation, and dedication into a stylish wearable with a
classic look, rugged design, and superior build for any situation. From
snow-capped peaks to sun-drenched trails, Polar Grit X2 Pro is the perfect
companion to explore more about the world around us and the limits of our
bodies.
“Science, precision, and grit are the values embodied by our Grit
X Pro watches that have long been popular with military personnel,
firefighters, and those that train in the most demanding conditions” explains Sander Werring, CEO of
Polar Electro. “With the Polar Grit X2 Pro, we’ve taken that precision,
durability, and design to the next level, offering accessible biosensing and
sports features to empower everyone to explore their own capabilities and the
world around them with total confidence and style”.
The new Polar Grit X2 Pro is also available in a special Titan
edition, featuring a lighter and more refined front casing made of super strong
aerospace titanium (instead of stainless-steel). Polar Grit X2 Pro Titan also
comes with an additional leather wristband with anti-bacterial cork inner
lining for premium comfort, breathability, and style.
For navigating with total confidence
The new Polar Grit X2 Pro is built to the latest military 810H
standards, meaning that its durability is more than capable of withstanding the
most demanding conditions, including high altitude, low pressure, exposure to
high and low temperatures, immersion, corrosion, and other adverse
circumstances.
For intrepid explorers and adventurers, the Polar Grit X2 Pro
offers unparalleled confidence in navigating the great outdoors with
high-precision dual-frequency GPS and a newly-designed signal-boosting antenna.
Plus, Polar Grit X2 Pro packs a complete suite of navigation and routing tools,
including built-in topographic maps, the new Breadcrumbs capability,
turn-by-turn navigation powered by komoot, and Strava route sync. The watch
comes pre-installed with maps of Europe and North America, rich in details of
buildings, parks, major road networks, streets, and waterways. For the ultimate
topographic map experience, users can download even more detailed maps with
contour lines, and additional regions for free in Polar Flow.
As well as the advanced navigation tools, Polar Grit X2 Pro sets
the tone for the best outdoor adventures with up to 140-hour battery life in
eco training mode, up to 43 hour-hour battery life in performance training
mode, and up to 10 days in smartwatch mode. Additionally, Polar Grit X2 Pro
comes with built-in flashlight, and 32GB storage for saving training data,
maps, and multiple routes for offline use.
All the gear you need in one package
While staying true to the company’s commitment to providing
comprehensive training support, Polar Grit X2 Pro introduces some new features
that are perfect for those who thrive in the great outdoors. On trail runs,
hikes, and rides, users will see their vertical speed, as well as their average
ascent speed in 30 seconds (VAM) in varying terrains, in real-time. And the 3D
speed metric calculates their true speed as their move upwards and onwards.
All this data looks sharper and brighter than ever before on a
326ppi hi-res 1.39” AMOLED touchscreen that is 15% larger than previous
generations in the Grit X family. All this extra space provides more room for
the multitude of widgets, dashboards, training views, and watch faces ––
including a charming new digital face with a bold retro design that invokes a
sense of 1980’s nostalgia.
At the core of Polar Grit X2 Pro is Polar Elixir™, the company’s
groundbreaking sensor fusion technology platform, bringing fourth generation
optical heart rate tracking, wrist-based ECG readings, SpO2 blood oxygen
levels, and nightly skin temperature monitoring. Users can also expect the same
science-backed, algorithm-powered, personalized guidance for training,
nutrition, sleep, and recovery that millions of Polar fans have come to trust,
and love. All of this means that the new Polar Grit X2 Pro unlocks even more
performance and well-being insights than ever before.
