I'm not talking about the latest Apple Watch or Garmin Fenix, but rather a blast from the past – Withings Steel HR Sport.
I loved his predecessor, the Steel HR, when I saw him again in 2017 and I was disappointed to see the product fail after the acquisition of the company by Nokia. Withings has since been bought and is catching up by publishing a new version of the high-performance smartwatch.
Something old, something new
The 2018 version is very close to the original. After all, there are only a few ways to make an analog watch with intelligent guts. The double numbering system is still there, the secondary numbering monitors your activity throughout the day.
At the top of the analog dial is the same OLED screen that displays heart rate during workouts and scrolls through application notifications throughout the day. The Steel HR Sport is now compatible with more than 100 applications, an important result from the first iteration. Despite its small size, it is easily readable.
The watch itself is housed in an attractive stainless steel case, with a group reminiscent of the Apple Watch sport bands. Tapes include quick release messages for quick change if you need to change it for another occasion. Overall, the watch is pleasantly solid, but does not weigh down your wrist. Which is good because you have work to do.
Next level tracking
Now with GPS tracking and VO2 Max monitoring!Sheath
Withings named his latest Steel Steel Sport fixture for a reason. The watch can track more than 30 activities, not just running and swimming (it's waterproof up to 50m), but also skiing, ice hockey, boxing, etc.
When paired with a smartphone, the Steel HR Sport can use GPS to keep pace, distance, elevation and even map your run (or cycle or walk). Beyond just monitoring the heart rate, the watch will also determine your VO2 max, something I've only seen on dedicated watches like the Garmin Fenix series.
A non-Smartwatch feature can beat
Use it all day and you will not see the battery indicator move.Anthony Karcz
What sets Steel HR Sport apart from its style or its unique approach to notifications is its autonomy. With regular use, Withings estimates about 25 days of life between charges!
Because the battery life is so robust, you can do even more with the watch, like keeping it on while you sleep. The sport will track your sleep patterns and the quality of your sleep. It will wake you even a little early, before your alarm goes off, if it detects a waking period of rest. This helps you start your day by feeling less groggy (even if you are unable to get those extra five minutes of sleep).
Who is the Steel HR Sport For?
Withings has created a smartwatch that is not a smartwatch. The Steel HR Sport address to those who do not want or do not need a small phone on the wrist. Who does not need distracting color notifications. Who does not need to take calls or dictate notifications. Basically, it's a watch, but one that makes smart things that you usually do from your wrist.
If you've already sighed on your Apple Watch while vibrating by your side or bristling, even with your phone at home, you're still too connected, you should seriously consider this watch.
The Steel HR Sport is $ 199.95 on Withings.com, with exclusive bands available for purchase on the site.
Thanks to Withings for letting me take his last watch for a test drive. Opinions are mine.
