If we put the Activité and Activité Pop watches into perspective with the Pulse ox watch, we can see more detailed work on the question of the design of the dial and bracelet aimed at the top of the range.

We can no longer blame connected watches for not being “fashion”, the Withings Activité shows that we can mix connected object and neat look.

Activité, aesthetics in addition

The elegant Steel, which features a stainless steel bracelet, will seduce you with its affordable price ($129.95)

The Activité Pop is now offered in eight distinct colors, the flashy side of which will remind you of Withings Go bracelets (blue, black, beige, mocha, yellow, or even raspberry red and khaki).

In terms of activities, slight advantage for the Activity which measures the distance traveled, sleep cycles and calories burned with great reliability.

Withings Go, the simple and effective connected bracelet

The Withings Go, the tracker that accompanies you wherever you are

This connected bracelet differs from classic Withings watches by its simplicity, portability and attractive price at less than € 50.

The Withings Go tracker

The connected bracelet is distinguished from connected watches, with richer and more upscale features, by presenting itself as a pedometer with a round dial to attach to the wrist or to clip on a pocket, or to hang on its key ring.

The Withings Go tracker is available in five different colors: blue, green, red, yellow and black.

The Withings Go, for whom for what?

While connected watches have hitherto targeted sportspeople with in particular the Pulse Ox, Activity and Activity Pop and Steel HR watches, the Withings Go aims less for completeness and elegance than for a large audience wishing to have a basic monitoring of its activities.
The four reasons to choose the Withings Go range
In addition to its affordable price, the other shocking argument of the connected bracelet is its very long autonomy, of around eight months, which is due to the use of very energy-efficient electronic ink with its E Ink screen.

The Withings Go can accompany you in all your activities, domestic and swimming thanks to its waterproofness which goes up to 50 meters.

If the bracelet only includes an activity sensor, its accelerometer, it is enough to follow all your simplest activities (walking, running, swimming). You can observe your data via an interface that displays the results of your daily sports sequences.

As for the synchronization of the tracker with the smartphone, via the Health Mate application, it is done without incident. Data sharing is effective even if the functionality remains limited, the Withings Go model being less complete than the other Withings products.
