The most stylish activity tracker around delivers where it counts
Luxury design ; Waterproof to 50m ; Attractive app and ecosystem ; 8-month battery life
Luxury price ; No Android support yet ; Doesn't track elevation change
An outstanding and stylish tracker and watch, provided you don’t mind the price attached.

Do these stylish analogue watches/step counters/sleep trackers actually work, as well as looking sexy?
Useful fitness tracking ; Good battery life ; Much sexier than rivals
Sync takes a while ; Feedback from app lacks depth ; Pop screen prone to breaking
Withings has struck upon a winning formula here: a fitness tracker that doesn’t look like a fitness tracker. It’s primarily a stylish watch, which isn’t something most smartwatches manage - and that holds true whether you opt for the high-end Activité...

The Withings Activité was announced in September 2014, pitched as the wearable that you'll actually want to wear. It resembles a standard analogue watch, but there is a lot more on offer than just the ability to tell the time. The Withings Activité is...
Beautiful design, fantastic app, 8-month battery, good activity tracking, quality materials, comfortable, proper straps (leather and silicone included in the box)
No Android support yet, Health Mate app can only handle one Withings activity tracker, sleep tracking temperamental, no altimeter, expensive, can't change daily step goal from 10,000 yet
The Withings Activité is a beautifully designed device that, without a shadow of a doubt, delivers on its promise of being a wearable that you'll actually want to wear. It looks fantastic and we have happily replaced our standard watch with it. But its...

Withings Activité review: Withings latest activity trackers adopt an alternative approach to design and functionality and the Activité is the perfect embodiment of this. Design:...
Elegant design ; Best-in-class battery life ; Swiss Made
Expensive ; Limited trackable activities
As was said at the beginning, the Withings Activité is something of a rare breed, but based on the approach the company has taken to designing such a distinctive activity tracker, it has the potential to appeal to an impressively broad range of users..

The Withings Activité is seriously stylish watch with an activity tracker built-in but is it worth £320?
Expert review by : mfereday (gadgetspeak.com)
Currently Withings has two different products offering a combination of an analogue time keeping device and health tracking features. These products are the Withings Activité and the Activité Pop. Having reviewed the Activité Pop (see...

Does the stylishly-connected timepiece have the brains to back up the beauty?
If you like your watches as the watch gods intended them, made in Switzerland but with a bit of this modern connectivity that people speak of, then the Withings Activité should definitely interest you. This is without doubt the most attractive fitness...

A classically simple fitness-tracking smartwatch with sublime looks
Expert review by : Chris Velazco (engadget.com)
Forget notifications, forget apps, forget all of the noisy little distractions masquerading as help -- sometimes a wearable is at its best when it stays
Reasonably priced ; Step counter works well ; Darker finish hides dings better
Functionality still limited ; Silicone band can be uncomfortable ; Band collects dust and dirt ; App needs work
Don't be fooled its the lower price tag: There's nothing the premium Activité can do that the less expensive Pop can't. There aren't any high-end materials here, but the end result is a wearable that looks great, tracks steps with ease and won't make...
Expert review by : Jill Duffy (pcmag.com)
At $450, the Withings Activit?s a premium watch, one that has the added bonus of being an activity and sleep tracker. If you think of it as a tracker first, however, you'll be sorely disappointed. But as a watch, it's classy and unassuming.
High-end analog watch with an understated activity-tracking dial. Water-resistant to 50 meters. Ships with two wristband options. Built with high quality materials.
Lacks an informative display. Requires mobile app for all interaction. App is slightly clunky and slow to sync. Can't revise incorrectly recorded activities. Sleep recordings were inaccurate in testing.
Two of my favorites are the Basis Peak (superb if you do light activities, especially bicycling) and Mio Fuse (excellent for heart-rate training). They're both Editors' Choices, but appeal to different groups. Aside from those two top options, I also...
