French manufacturer Withings, which specializes in connected objects, today launched a brand new product, Withings Activity.
Withings today officially launched its connected watch, soberly dubbed the Activity. And with this the French connected object specialist makes a really attractive proposition. New product certified “Made in Switzerland”.
We designed a watch with advanced functions, not a second smartphone you wear on your wrist. – CEO of Withings –
The Withings Activity stands out from anything that can be made on the market today with a design of unparalleled elegance for the time being. Equipped with a classic mechanism, you do not need to look for a screen where notifications can appear. Its dial is circular and made of steel and has three classic hands. In the future, Withings plans to market versions of precious materials such as gold.
To cover the three hands of the watch, Withings chose a domed sapphire crystal, which gives the watch a vintage look with the most beautiful effect. Two Barrenia leather straps (black or tan) sewn by HaasWorking with Hermès and even Chanel, it compliments the product admirably. Because the watch is waterproof to 50 meters, it comes with a second silicone strap so you can wear it underwater.
if you understood, That’s why Withings Activity is a true fashion accessory, luxurious and elegant.. But it is also a linked object, more specifically an activity monitor.
Thus the Withings clock Equipped with various sensors that allow it to record your daily activity : number of steps, running sessions or swimming sessions. Nothing revolutionary at this level, other viewers are showing the same features.
The key point reinforcing the idea that this Withings Activity is a really well-designed product is that its battery can be replaced manually by the user without going to a watchmaker.
The procedure to be followed is child’s play and the operation should not be repeated too often. the watch has an autonomy of eight months all thanks to a classic flat battery. It’s certainly less than a traditional watch, but Withings’s is almost permanently connected to Bluetooth.
It is conceivable that such a watch with such a material and such a design would be very expensive. Think again, because it Available at a price of 390 euros. Of course, this is no small amount, but it is a true watchmaker’s certified “Swiss Made” watch, combined with an effective activity tracker.
Clearly oriented luxury product positioning is a real hurdle for the Apple Watch. And as a sign, Withings launched the watch in Colette for its first day on the market. It will be available later on FNAC and on the official Withings website. The only minor downside is that the app that connects Withings Activity to the smartphone is currently only available on the iPhone, but an Android version will also be available soon.
