The Polar Grit X2 Pro is a smartwatch that feels adrift


I don’t see where Polar earns the $750 price tag.

There are more casual, stylish Garmins, while Apple and Samsung have their own smart multisport watches — and that leaves the $749.95 Polar Grit X2 Pro stuck between a rock and a hard place. Material: stainless steel, sapphire glass OS: Polar Connectivity: Bluetooth Dimensions: 48.6mm by 48.6mm, 13.4 mm thick Weight: 79g Battery life: up to 10 days Sensors: optical heart rate monitor, accelerometer, compass, barometer, EKG, blood oxygen, skin temperature GPS: dual-frequency Water resistance: WR100 NFC: No Compatibility: iOS and Android An $800 Apple Watch Ultra 2 gets me a much better third-party app ecosystem, LTE connectivity, car crash and fall detection, music streaming, EKGs, and much better integration with my smartphone.
