Polar Street X review: Design issues mar an accurate urban exploration watch
TechRadar Verdict The Polar Street X is a mid-range smartwatch that is successful in delivering a number of high-end features, but solid implementation is not present across the board. I was disappointed by the user interface, and navigation around menus using the buttons was unintuitive and difficult. More positively, the watch offers an extensive set of metrics across training and health with an accurate GPS that matched our benchmark in testing.
