Withings’ Smart Activity Tracker is a tiny device (43.3 x 22.1 x 8.3 mm) that can be slipped into a pocket or worn thanks to an included belt clip and arm band. It tracks steps, stairs climbed, sleep quality and estimates calories burned. Weighing just 8 gms, what sets this gadget apart, is the heart-rate sensor on the back – just stick your thumb to it for a few seconds.
It sports Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity with automatic sync to Withings’ Health Mate app, two weeks of battery life, an OLED touchscreen display, and compatibility with Android and iOS devices. Charging the device is achieved through the micro USB port. You can have it send you an alert to indicate inactivity and reminders to be active, directly to your smartphone.
The Pulse has a step counter, calorie counter, altitude meter and distance travelled tracker. All of that is pretty standard among these devices, and about as accurate as you’ll find elsewhere (which is to say not very), but the Pulse also has a pulse sensor and a time/battery indicator, as well as a sleep mode that works in tandem with an included wristband accessory. The wristband is a soft material that’s perfect for sleeping, too, and far more comfortable than the Jawbone UP or the Fitbit Flex.
