Title: Exactly the right activity-tracking watch for me
Review: UPDATE: I’ve had this watch for several weeks now, and I love it more and more. It has quickly become a part of me. I never take it off. It feels good and looks so classy. And it’s so cool the way you can two-finger tap it and see the hands move to your alarm time, then move back to the time, which is always accurate. I love to see the sleep and activity data show up in my Withings Healthmate app alongside my weight and heart rate (the latter two readings from the scale, not the watch) as well as in My Fitness Pal without me having to do much of anything at all. I just want to thank whoever it was who returned this watch (and the reseller I bought it from, too) so I could buy it for what is now $250 off the new price. I love this watch. I mean, I really love this watch.I purchased the black Activite “Used – Like New” from a reseller here on Amazon, and—knock on wood—I am SO happy with it. I have tried so many different trackers, and none of them were working out very well for me. My first fitness tracker was the Fitbit Flex, which was a most-appreciated gift and got me hooked on fitness tracking, but the band just ate up the skin on my arm. I put it in a clip-on case that fell off during the night, and then my dog got to it and chewed it up.My next tracker was an original Pebble, which I liked better (especially being able to just shake it to show the face), but it, too, ate up my arm. I’ve tried three different smart watches that have been offered to me for review, and while I like them, they have to be charged every day. I finally ordered not one but two different Misfit Shine 2s, which got me sold on the idea of having a watch and tracker that runs off a button battery for months-long life, but the Shine 2 has to be tapped to see the time (which is cool looking but really hard to read) and both of my Shines either were not, or later ceased to be, responsive to tapping. Needless to say, I had to return them. (Thank you, Amazon!)Okay, so some history: When I started tracking food intake (with My Fitness Pal) and movement (with one of the aforementioned exercise trackers), I was able to lose 88 lbs. over 19 months. Without a tracker, though, I find I don’t move as much and don’t get inspired to get out walking. Pounds started creeping back on, so I HAD to do something. I knew I wasn’t going to be able to take silicone or rubbery bands, and I knew I was not going to be happy with something I have to charge every day. I was not going to be able to wear a clip-on that might come unclipped at night because of our plastic-freak dog. And I knew I was going to go ballistic if I had to deal with yet another product that doesn’t work properly.So, the one fitness product I have bought that has always worked for me and seems to be a well-made, well-supported, high-quality product is my Withings smart scale. So I looked at what Withings had to offer. I fell in love with the look of that white-faced, brown-leather-banded Activite, but there was no way in heck I was going to be able to spend $450 for it. The black one was cheaper ($399 the day I priced it), but still way out of my range. But then I looked at the used ones, and I took a chance on a black Activite for several hundred dollars off, only double what I’d had to pay for my Shine 2. It still blasted past my budget, but I sucked it up and did it.My Activite came quickly, despite the snow delays, and so far is working perfectly. It was easy to set up, and it is syncing with My Fitness Pal as well as my smart scale does and uses the same app. Assuming this watch doesn’t just quit working on me, it’s the best of all worlds for me. I have the gentle wakeup alarm in the morning I need, the time at a glance, the ability to see how I’m doing on movement during the day, and the all-important syncing of the data with My Fitness Pal. I don’t have to think about tapping anything to see what I need to see or do what I need to do, and I know that the button battery will last for months. I’ve got an extra battery and a silicone strap for when I go swimming in the summer, and I’m comfortable wearing the leather band 24/7. It was a gigantic learning curve to go through, and for what I’ve spent I could have bought that gorgeous brown Activite, but I’m glad I finally settled on the Withings product.

Title: Cannot Update Watch
Review: I bought this watch years ago and loved it until the battery died. I didn’t have the tools to replace the battery and ended up getting rid of it. Years later, I decided to re-invest in the watch but I cannot get it to work for the life of me. Originally it wouldn’t vibrate at all, so I followed the directions and replaced the battery. It started to vibrate when I pushed the button, so I thought it would be smooth sailing from there. Nope – downloaded the app, it successfully connects to my phone via bluetooth, but when the app says it’s restarting the watch, I’m met with the error, “there was an issue updating your watch.” I have tried problem solving by following the directions on the Withings’ website, resetting the watch (by pushing the button five times for it to buzz twice), and attempted multiple times over the course of days. Still no luck.

Title: Withings Sapphire Recommended
Review: After a month of solid use, I love the watch and what is accomplishes. Great styling, thin, small and long battery life. The sleep tracker is very cool. It gives awake time, shallow sleep and deep sleep. Somehow this seems to be very accurate. Also I needed a tracker that gives me calories burned which this does when linked to MyFitness Pal – third party app. I have tested the step counter and it seems to be inaccurate. The hands are hard to see in certain lighting conditions. I would have preferred a glow in the dark approach there. There are two annoyances with the Android app. One you can swipe left and delete some sleep data without warning. Two “calories burned” info only shows up if you link to a third party app. Finally, there needs to be notifications that you have emails, text or calls on your phone waiting. This could be programmable to Vibrate for text, Vibrate and hand swing in combinations for the others. And did I mention long battery life? Who wants a fitness / sleep tracker that you have to take off frequently to charge?

Review: mmh…- ich habe mir die Activité nun im Juni diesen Jahres zugelegt und wundere mich über die eher zurückhaltenden negativen Vermerke.1. Lieferung: War top- das Gerät stand 2 Tage nach Bestellung schön verpackt auf meinem Tisch.2. Auspacken, mit der einfachen Beschriebung aktivieren und anziehen. Alles war im Übrigen genauso wiederzufidnen, wie auf der Internetseite präsentiert. Die FAQ… sind auch für mich als Laien einwandfrei beschreiben. Alles Fragen werden hier beantwortet.Die Armbänder sind völlig ok. Das Auswechseln ( bei Nutzung des Kunststoffarmbandes) ist ” ein Klacks” . Macht durchaus auch Sinn, wenn man gerne schwimmen geht.3. Die Uhr ist vom Design klasse. Ich benötige auch nur eine Uhr mit den Funktionen und nicht zusätzlich zu meiner Uhr noch ein zweites Armband. Daher: Tolle Idee, die beiden Themen (Design/Funktion) zu koppeln.4. Die dazugehörige App ist perfekt. Das Datenupdate erfolgt in wenigen Sekunden morgens per Bluetooth. Die Darstellung auf meinem iphone ist völlig in Ordnung. Alles ist auf den ersten Blick zu sehen, Details kann man per weiteren Klick auf die Daten erfahren. Die Werte sind sehr genau. Ich habe das – da selber am Anfang etwas skeptisch- manuell geprüft ( Schritte gezählt…) .Die Schlafphasen werden sehr gut dargestellt. Die Ergebnisse decken sich auch immer mit meinem Schlafempfinden.5. Die Schwimm App ist ebenso perfekt. Wie das Gerät das aufzeichnet, ist mir zwar immwer noch ein Rätsel, aber die Activité erkennt die Schwimmaktivitäten sofort.6. Service: Am Anfang hatte ich zwischendurch Probleme. Aber möglicher Weise habe ich auch selbst ein wenig dazu beigetragen. Der Service war hier exzellent. Die Kollegin hat sich sofort bei mir per mail gemeldet und sich rührend gekümmert bis alles geklärt war. Das findet man auch nicht so oft.7. Was fehlt mir: Die Krönung wäre es, wenn die Activitè irgendwann auch in der Lage ist, das Radfahren zu erfassen. Dann hätte ich auch meine Frau überzeugt.Auch nicht schlecht wäre es, wenn es noch mehr andere Armbänder geben würde. Das würde für mehr Abwechslung am Handgelenk sorgen.Also Leute, alles in allem ein – im Verhältnis zwar teures- aber dafür schickes Teil mit vielen Funktionen.Ich kann nach fast 4 Monaten nichts an dem Teil kritisieren ! Werde die Uhr weiterhin jedem weiterempfehlen. Meine Freunde und Bekannten finden es auch sehr originell.

Review: Semplicemente fantastico.Elegante discreto e fatto con materiali di pregio (vetro zaffiro, cinturino in pelle).Credo l’unico contapassi che puoi mettere a una cerimonia sembrando addirittura elegante.Non ho riscontrato alcun problema di connessione con il mio smatphone (LG G4) anzi la qualità della connessione bluetooth e ben superiore ad altri prodotti che ho (garmin e fossil).Occorre circa mezzo minuto per avviare la sincronizzazione che comunque nel mio caso avviene sempre.Contapassi: sufficientemente preciso per le valutazioni di tutti i giorni.Misurazione sonno: sembra buona, distingue fra sonno leggero e pesante.Spero che il supporto software continui a lungo. Per me è un grande orologio con una bella linea, le funzioni strettamente necessarie e niente più.Altro pregio: lo stle “minimal” delle lancette e del quadrante rende la lettura dell’ora immediata, poiché non si è distratti da tutti quegli elementi che spesso neppure si usano (come i quadranti delle frazioni di secondo nei cronografi).

Review: Ho comprato quest’orologio per regalarlo e pertanto non posso esprimere un giudizio approfondito. Ho aperto, però, la confezione per controllare che fosse tutto a posto prima di consegnare il regalo. Innanzitutto esteticamente è molto ma molto bello. Un bel cinturino in pelle trattata . All’interno della confezione si trova a parte la batteria (presumo che sia quella di ricambio), la chiave per aprire l’orologio ed addirittura il cinturino in materiale sintetico per chi vuole usarlo spesso in acqua. L’orologio appena estratto dall’elegante scatola non gira perchè bisogna attivarlo con l’utensile a corredo.Mi e’ sembrao talmente bello che lo regalerò anche a….. me.

Review: I was looking for an activity tracker looking like a normal high-end thin watch that doesn’t need charging every other hour. This discarded immediately the likes of There were only two options – Withings Activite and Tag Heuer Connected. The latter looks too thick, and also is way too much compared to what I was prepared to spend (up to £500, vs Tag Heuer at circa £1100). Compared to Pebble Steel I owned before, this does look like a real watch, doesn’t need daily charging, seamlessly connects to my iPhone, fully waterproof and is built really well.There are two things I miss however:1) Date and month. Oh, if only it had a date and month or even just a date. I’ve looked at my watch so many times to find the date, and yet it isn’t there2) Seconds handle. I fully understand that seconds handle would eat the battery too much, but nevertheless, it is greatly missedI haven’t marked the watch down because of it, as I still love it and wear without taking it off even while sleeping, but I’d go for exactly identical model but with the above 2 addressed in a heartbeat.Dreaming further, modelling Tissot T-Touch functionality using existing hardware must be a doddle. The watch already reacts to 3 taps to show the alarm time. I’m sure software could be updated to do some other T-Touch functionalitites using the same hardware – i.e., altitude, starting a stopwatch, etc. It is only a matter of wanting to do it… Please?
