Polar Street X looks imminent as FCC filing points to March 26 launch
Polar’s upcoming Street X smartwatch now appears just days away from launch, with FCC documents confirming a planned marketing date of March 26.
The detail comes from a confidentiality request tied to FCC ID INW6J. In the document, Polar states that short-term confidentiality should remain in place until next Thursday, by which date the product is expected to be made official.
That is usually how companies line up filings with launch timing, so it points to an announcement being very close. If the device does not debut next week, the external photos will be released through the FCC filing, unless Polar requests an extension.
A clear end to the silence
The Street X has been building in the background for a while.
Our initial discovery came through FCC filings in late January, which revealed the model identifier and early packaging details. Since then, references to the device have surfaced in the Android APK of the smartphone app.
Street X appears to be positioned away from Polar’s usual performance-first devices. The FCC documentation indicates Bluetooth connectivity, with no signs of cellular or WiFi support. That suggests a watch designed to stay paired with a phone rather than operate independently.
Packaging references revealed a “Night Black” variant and standard S–L sizing. The design direction, based on available material, looks closer to Polar’s simpler watch profiles rather than its more rugged or high-end models. The name itself also hints at that positioning. Street X sounds more lifestyle-oriented than performance-driven.
There was an earlier retailer mention of the watch. No pics or specs listed but a price of around 220 euros was mentioned. This is, of course, unconfirmed.
Another device is also on the way
Street X is only part of what is coming.
Our analysis of the Polar Flow app uncovered references to another unreleased device. That one appears under the name Pacer X, suggesting a continuation of Polar’s running-focused lineup.
Street X looks set to target a broader audience, while Pacer X would serve users looking for more structured training tools. There have been no regulatory filings for this device that we could spot, so Pacer X could still be a few months away from launch.
It appears Polar is aiming to lower the barrier to entry, offering simpler wearables that still fit within its ecosystem. Watches that can be worn all day, without leaning too heavily into advanced training features. We should learn all the final details next week.
