Polar Grit X2 Pro outdoor smartwatch

Polar Beat and its subsequent hardware lines originate from Finland, a country synonymous with early fitness tracking innovation. The Polar Grit X2 Pro is the latest evolution of their rugged outdoor watch series, designed for extreme durability and precision navigation. While the engineering and design concepts are developed at the brand's headquarters in Kempele, Finland, the physical manufacturing of the devices is carried out in China to scale production efficiency.

Polar Electro Oy remains a privately held company, which is a rarity in a market dominated by tech giants. Since its founding in 1977, the company has maintained its independence, focusing exclusively on heart rate monitoring and sports performance tech. The ownership lies within the founding family and private Finnish investors, ensuring the brand stays true to its Nordic roots and commitment to athletic research.
