After a preliminary test, here it is, after about two months of use, the test of this Activity Withings. I confirm the good first impressions, a few bugs details or not recognized on the watch but obviously the associated app.
Just look at this Withings activity to enjoy it. Because for an activity tracker (number of steps taken during the day but also monitoring of sleep, the classic among classic now, with all these bracelets and other such devices), it's damn beautiful watch. At the traditional look: mean by that needles, true, that rotate in a circular dial. So it is an analog time display, even if the electronics under the hood. Mechanics, we are told, is made in Switzerland. The "Swiss made" proudly stamped on the back of steel case. The strap is leather, calf France, we are told! Added to that the glass is sapphire material to ensure it resistant to scratches. In short, all that exudes quality. And it is there, this quality!
Perfectible app
I quickly replaced the leather strap by the silicone also provided with Withings activity. Thus, the watch is waterproof, you can swim in the bearing: it would be according to the manufacturer resistant to a depth of 50 meters (which I have not had the opportunity to check). But, sure, you can shower with the watch. At the beginning of the test, I had to open and close the watch to replace the original battery (CR 2025). I never found condensation inside despite this opening.
I ran several times with this activity. Because what interests me beyond the pedometer function, whether this watch can act, just to watch sport. I understand that this is definitely not a tool for enthusiasts running, especially since it is not GPS. But since the watch automatically detects racing phases, and the app is supposed to distance running, so I pushed a little test in that direction. Before continuing on the run, know that the watch should be able to also detect motion in swimming. The manufacturer announced this feature for March 2015
Overall, the number of not picked up by the watch activity is transferred via Bluetooth to the Withings application (test performed on iOS, the Android version has been available a few days after the publication on HTO). But during these two months of testing, there was sometimes malfunctions, bugs in the display of the number of steps. For example, during a single day, although the app has noted a race activity (10 km) and walking phases while maintaining a number of non-zero!
Strength and duration
After about two months of use, the watch appears to be of sufficient strength, especially as I have not done evil sport with it. The metal is certainly scratched around the edges, but we must scrutinize it to notice. And I saw no scratches on the glass (sapphire reminder).
Another nice point autonomy. It's a high-tech fun shows we are not obliged to charge even before the end of the day! Activity Withings work, according to the manufacturer, for eight months, without the battery is replaced.Price 390€ .
