More importantly though- they look like elegant timepieces. They were really the first of the traditional activity tracker companies to bridge into that realm. The higher priced Activité is officially a ‘Swiss-made Watch' while the less expensive Activit...

Wearable fitness trackers, for the most part, don't differentiate too much from each other when it comes to their designs. The majority of them, in fact, favor sporty styles meant to be worn around the wrist – much like the stuff from Fitbit, Jawbone, Mi...

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 you...

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...
At $450, the Withings Activité is 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...

The Activité is in many ways like any other activity monitor. It'll track steps using an accelerometer inside the unit, which is then transmitted to your phone continuously using Bluetooth Smart. Which, in retrospect is probably the first time you've ever...
