Withings Steel HR Hybrid Smartwatch - Activity, Sleep, Fitness and Heart Rate Tracker with Connected GPS

This watch (black - sapphire glass - limited edition) checks a lot of boxes: excellent battery life, attractive design, lightweight (essential if you're going to wear to sleep, etc), and exactly the set of smart features you might want, unless you want a star trek wrist communicator that only lasts a couple of days on battery and does a bunch of things you will never use on a watch. The only exception is a missing GPS (you have to keep your phone with you when you run), but I understand the tradeoff to keep weight and size downThe fatal flaw is that it is extremely difficult to tell the time!! The photo of the watch face in the listing is utterly misleading. What you get is a highly reflective glass dial and extremely poor visual contrast between the the hands and hour markings and the black background of the dial. To add insult to injury, the hands, hour markings, activity hand, and circle around the screen are all made from the same color metal, so you have to stare at the watch for a couple of seconds before you can resolve where the hour and minute hands are pointing.A minor irritation is that when you first depress the button on the side, it displays the date, but then scrolls to showing the time within a second. It then stays on that screen for a few seconds. But I wanted to look up the date! If I hit the button again, it will cycle through the 5 or 6 different functions before coming back to the date, which if you miss in the split second it displays, will again be replaced by the time. Why couldn't the date be its own click?!Unfortunately, this watch will have to go back. I'm hoping one of the other designs will be easier to read (those red notches on the sports model look promising).

Descent upgrade from Steel HR sport, nice and classy dress watch which also functions as a hybrid smart watch. However, there is nothing special about the "sapphire signature" LE. The quality of the crystal is mediocre. Yes, you have additional leather strap on top of the flimsy ans extra long silicone strap, and the crystal refects far less glare compared to the mineral glass that is used in HR sport, but it is not worth additional $140. If you can tinker with a watch, or know someone who can mod Seiko watches, get a standard Steel HR Sport watch for $159 and replace the mineral glass with 1.2mm crystal sapphire (like 30 bucks on eBay) and you will still save a ton.

Love the watch and love the lookClassy enough for work - tough enough for playing hockey and tracking my heart rateOnly complaint is that sometimes they are slow with updates to keep text notifications working

Great watch - setup was extremely easy and quick. I was seeking something that could be worn everyday, however served the purpose of a smartwatch. Love the look and the fact its water proof (vs water resistant) and tracks swimming.

Everyday use. Good looking watch doesn't look like a smart watch.

Should have a smaller bands available

The watch in general does the job tho the dark coloured one's visibility is greatly affected by the light levels. What lets the product down is the product support, the manual for the watch on the withings web site is a broken pdf and has been for ages looking at there support blog, eventually you get somebody on there support desk to react and they provide you with the manual but it's hardly comprehensive. The sleep assessment feature is odd to say the least, if I think I've had a good nights sleep it tells me it was rubbish and if I have a rubbish nights sleep it tells me it was good .... rest of the functionality is good and the biggest bonus is it looks like a watch and not a fitness tracker. If they just sorted out the support and made there web site work and paid some attention to there own blog site it would be massively better.

I am extremely disappointed by this tracker. I have been testing it for a few days now and noticed that it would not track my steps while walking casually in my house. Then I started to track steps in a walking workout and tracking also the number of steps from my phone with google fit. The watch undercounted by more than 20% the number of steps. 3rd test: walked 100 steps: the watch counted 10. I am returning this watch as it is not reliable.

Further to my earlier review, the watch has now ceased to function properly. The time is different on the main display and no amount of resetting will get the two to show the same time. Also the steps function has becomeunreliable.. Spoke to Amazon a couple of months ago but not much help there.

Ich hatte mir die Uhr gekauft, weil sie sehr dezent und gleichzeitig schick ist. Das war es dann aber auch schon. Der Schlaftracker funktioniert mangelhaft, meistens werden mindestens 3 Stunden Schlaf zu wenig angezeigt. Auch die Benachrichtigungen funktionieren wie sie gerade wollen. Ich habe bereits seit über 2,5 Monate ein Support-Ticket bei Withings offen, kein Abschluss in Sicht. Von mir daher keine KaufempfehlungUpdate: Mittlerweile hatte sich der Support gemeldet und gesagt, das man die Uhr nicht umtauschen kann, weil sie direkt über Amazon gekauft wurde. Kurzum, ich habe den Amazon-Support bemüht und siehe da, eine neue Uhr ist auf dem Weg. Danke Amazon!

Seit dem Tag der Lieferung ist diese Uhr mein täglicher Begleiter.Sieht schick aus und trackt zuverlässig meine Schritte, Schlaf und den Puls.Akkulaufzeit ist nach fast zwei Jahren immernoch super und ich muss die Uhr nur alle 6 Wochen Mal 4-5 Stunden an das Ladekabel hängen.Das Schutzglas der Uhr ist super, obwohl ich damit nicht zimperlich umgehe hat das bis heute keinen einzigen Kratzer.Die Bänder halten leider nicht all zu lange durch, wenn man aber die Uhr abmisst, kann man auch von Drittanbietern günstige Armbänder erwerben.Alles in allem ein perfektes Produkt, würde es jeder Zeit wieder kaufen.
