Polar Announces Street X, a Rugged ‘Urban-Ready’ Smartwatch

🚀 New Launches

Pixel Watch 5 leaks hint at processor bumps and sleep tracking upgrades, but none of it matters if Google can’t match the Garmin Forerunner 965‘s two-week battery life and we’re stuck with daily charging again.

Marty’s Take:

Google chasing sleep-tracking bragging rights while battery life stays flat is the same trap Apple Watch fell into for a decade. If daily charging is a dealbreaker, skip the smartwatch category entirely and look at Garmin’s multisport lineup instead: our best fitness tracker picks break down which ones actually last.
