Withings - Activité Pop Activity Tracker Watch - Sand Silicone

I looked at the reviews, this tracker watch is very well rated and I agree. It's comfortable , accurate and nice looking. This is what I was looking for, Withings has done a nice job with this product. I like to that it has other items that pair with it.

Very nice to have good looking watch that is working hard - keeping you on pace through out the day and is checking on your sleep habits all night

I will preface this by saying I have previously (and extensively) used both the Pebble and Moto 360. When I read about the Withing's offerings, I was really excited for two reasons, one was battery life and the other was for the more conventional design. When I walked into the store, they did not have any display pieces but just one in the box. My first impression was that it looked a little too much like a kids swatch watch (I did previously see the Activite in preson, but comparing a $450 watch with a $150 watch isn't fair). The second thing I noticed was the little hump on the back (this watch is thick), but after wearing it, trust me, it sits very nicely on the hand. Why did I buy it? - Sleep tracking and also, I travel a lot so looking for a watch that quickly changes to the timezone. And also, I was fed up with constantly charging my watch (everyday-360, once every 4 days-pebble). Pros and Cons (after one week of use) + Beautiful design (for a smartwatch at $150) + Long battery life (supposedly 8 months) + Adjusts to timezones (a little catch here) + Very good at tracking sleep - The app isn't very good but I can sync my data to iHealth and look at the dashboard there - I have to open the app for it to adjust time to a new timezone - Not a con for me personally, but if you are a big guy with broad hands, this might seem a tad on the smaller side - Step count is on the lower side (not sure if it is more accurate than my other step tracking apps/devices but Ive never crossed 7000 steps here but I've crossed 10K mark pretty comfortably several times with the same routine with the other devices) If you are considering getting a fitbit, please look at this.

I just purchased this for my wife and it arrived on Thursday. First, she had it set-up and going very quickly, the only slow down was the packaging. Second, She has an iPhone 4s so it really does work fine going back to that generation phone. Third, they fixed the issue with the bezel cracking. The glass in the Pop is the same that you get in most watches, the problem with the original release appears to have been with how it was being set in the manufacturing process. That has been fixed. Well, 4 days in, with 2 days in a pool, and no scratches or breaks. Fourth, waterproof, checks fine based on third comment. Fifth, the dials are easy to read except in very dark conditions as all it take is a glint of light to see the hands so the fact that they don't glow in the dark is fine for her. Sixth, I heard a concern about how much memory the watch has but it synchs to your phone so it really isn't an issue, just hold it nearby and it synchs automatically if you open the app and since it is a fitness tracker opening the app every few days seems like a pretty minimal task. Seventh, battery life of 8 months....amazing. Will update this when the battery dies to let folks know if the 8 months is accurate. BY FAR the best looking fitness tracker. The one day she wore it to work people commented on her new watch, when she mentioned it was a fitness tracker with all sorts of functionality, they were amazed, especially when she opened the app and they could see the steps synching as she described the watch further. Eighth, works with iPhone and Android but not windows phone, at least not yet. Ninth, the black watches look very awesome and I plan on picking one up for me, just trying to decide if I want to go for the Activity or the Activity Pop. The primary difference is the glass and where it was manufactured. Oh, ninth, the watch size seems great.

This is the perfect compromise between a fitness tracker and smartwatch. A glance tells me the time and my steps. It looks like a regular watch but once you open the app it shows your steps including intensity levels and monitors your sleep pattern. I have a fitbit and the Withings Pulse but don't use them anymore. The Pop is accurate and waterproof. I used to always forget to grab my pulse when on the eliptical. This is always on my wrist! It is waterproof and the battery doesn't need charging...unlike my fitbit which was more often left in the charging cradle because I forgot about it. I wish it had a heart rate monitor and a better looking strap. I think that Withings will be offering replacement straps in the future so i may pick one up. A great purchase and am considering getting one for my wife to replace her Fitbit.

This is a set-it-and-forget it fitness device that is also a stylish watch. What I like best is that I don't have to charge it, set it, tell it when I'm sleeping or remember to sync it. It's also waterproof, so I never take it off. The sleep tracking and step tracking functions seem to work well, I haven't had a chance to use the swim tracking feature. I've had no trouble with it, after the initial setup it keeps time perfectly, looks great, feels comfortable and syncs automatically. It doesn't get 5 stars because compared to my fitbit it doesn't have as detailed activity tracking and the app interface is good but not amazing. Integration with loseit is still pending, although it does integrate with myfitnesspal. On the other hand, I am likely to keep wearing it, and I usually stopped wearing the fitbit after a few months when my enthusiam waned.

I purchased the Withings Activite Pop mainly to track my steps. However this isn't just a tracker, but a watch, has a great vibration alarm that you set from the App, will track my sleep patterns (not positive how accurate, but seems pretty close), is water resistant so I can shower or swim with it, and with an update that should be out soon, it will also track swimming and they are looking into possibly adding cycling. I like that you don't have to charge it every day (like some trackers) and it's inconspicuous. You can also compete with your friends through the Withings app. So glad I bought it! Now I just need to buy the different colored bands. :)

Positives... Easy Bluetooth downloading to health app. Accurate step count. Monitors sleeping without having to "activate it for sleep mode." Long battery life. Water resistant. Data from Withings weight scale and BP cuff all go together into health app. Negatives... Not digital watch face. No date for day to day use. Not backlit. The watch "notification buzzer" is not forceful enough to always awake me from sleeping.
