Customers like the appearance of the wearable computer. They say it looks nice, like a watch, and has an updated look. Some say they like the design, idea, waterproof, and battery life. Some mention that it doesn't look like s smart watch and that they like analog watch face.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the wearable computer. Some mention it's a great watch for a while, works well enough, and is the finest fitness watch out there, while others say it'd be better off buying a new one.

Customers are mixed about the accuracy of the wearable computer. Some mention it has an accurate heart rate monitor, very good intuitive software interface, and more accurate sleep tracking. However, others say that the watch has never been accurate in the two areas it should. For example, they say the size of the band causes inaccurate heart rate results and the automatic activity tracking is way off. They also say the step and distance counter is not very accurate as compared to GPS based trackers.

Customers are mixed about the battery life of the wearable computer. Some mention that it has an excellent battery life, lasting 2-3 weeks between charges. However, others say that it runs out of battery after a few days, has an off battery percentage, and needs to be recharged every 2 weeks or so.
"...-battery life, the product looses 2-3% battery for every day use which is very good...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the wearable computer. Some mention that it's easy to use and set up with clear, detailed instructions. They also appreciate the accurate heart rate monitor and the intuitive software interface. However, others say that it dramatically under counts steps that are taken in a more casual manner.
"...This is a bit much to handle when running...." Read more
"...But since this is a standard watch setup, the band would be easy to change and customize. The only other minor con is the activity recognition...." Read more
"...But not counting steps accurately is a deal-breaker for me. I'd buy again in a heart beat if I knew it would count my steps accurately." Read more
"...It dramatically under counts steps that are taken in a more casual manner (eg shopping, strolling, moving about the house)...." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the condensation. They mention that the crystal fogs up when it's hot out, the watch crystal accumulated water vapor when simply walking, and the crystal clouds up on humid days. They also report intermittent misting on the inside, which can obscure the watch face.
"***Second edit***After my last review, the fogging issue became worse, almost to the point where I couldn't read the hands of the watch anymore..." Read more
"...The interior of the glass/crystal has gotten so hazy and foggy that it is difficult to see the watch hands at a glance..." Read more
"...suffers from the "condensation" issue where the inside of the watch mists up when moving from a cool area to a warm area..." Read more
"...Probably better. However, it now has the condensation issue that everyone complains about...." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the waterproofness of the wearable computer. They mention that the material traps moisture and bacteria gets in there. They also say that the watch is not water resistant as advertised, and that the Steel HR is not sweat resistant. This results in the wrist getting very sweaty under the band, which results in some skin rubbing off after a while.
"...a rubbery band, and in the humidity of central FL, my wrist gets very sweaty under the band...." Read more
"...The material traps moisture and I guess bacteria gets in there. I took a shower with it once thinking I'll have to test it before I swim with it...." Read more
"...The Steel HR is waterproof, for pool swimming only. So that's another huge plus for me...." Read more
"...Well, this particular device isn't waterproof after all...." Read more

To clear up a few misconceptions I have seen about this product:
What this product is: a fitness tracker, with some more advanced fitness capabilities. This product is NOT a running watch, or intended to do split intervals and second accuracy for runner training, or be an advanced smart watch. It is intended to compete with fitbit, misfit, jawbone, garmin vivofit etc. This product is NOT intended to compete with apple watch, android ware, tomtom runner, garmin forerunner or polar smart sports watches.
My impressions coming from the activite pop:
- updated look, less "toy like" than the activite pop
- much lighter on the wrist
- the digital screen is not distracting, unless you are looking straight on and the light hits it just right. I glance at the screen more than anything
-the thickness is similar to the activite pop
-the dials are easier to read
-more accurate sleep tracking, the activite pop would tend to say i was sleeping for 5-10 minutes after I had gotten out of bed.
-the steps tracked seem to be lower. the same route I walk every day with the dog returns about 300 steps less than the activite pop would count.
product pros:
-battery life, the product looses 2-3% battery for every day use which is very good.
-the constant activity tracking mode is easy to start (hold the dial for 3 seconds) and gives me better insight for running, compared to the activite pop
-HR tracking is reasonably accurate.
-the constant HR tracking though the day is useful to know when you should get up from your desk to walk around, however it does not prompt you to do so.
-notifications light up and buzz, but are not distracting
product cons:
-since I had the activite pop associated to my withings account already, the steel HR setup process was supposed to automatically remove the activite pop and associate itself. setup failed twice, and the third time I manually removed the activite pop, and the steel HR setup went smoothly
-the charger can fall off in a stiff breeze, and takes me a few tries to attach to the back (even though there are magnets). it also doesn't come with a usb outlet charger, so you need to buy one, or charge from a computer. Thankfully you only have to deal with this for a few hours once a month. Which is better than fitbit needing to be charged every 36 hours.
-very limited notification options (phone, text, calendar). hopefully something that can be fixed with software updates
-the wrist band feels fragile
After my last review, the fogging issue became worse, almost to the point where I couldn't read the hands of the watch anymore. I contacted customer support again, and they instructed me to return the watch for a replacement. The return process was simple, and I had a new watch in a couple of days. However, the fogging began on the new watch almost immediately. I have basically stopped using this watch as it fogs up constantly now (I live in Florida, and the watch just can't handle going from a cool, dry, air conditioned interior to a warm, humid exterior without going opaque).
Another issue I found extremely annoying was trying to recharge the watch. I had to fidget for extended periods to get the charger to line up correctly and start the charging. It is a good thing that the battery does seem to last a long time because if I had to do this every couple of days, I would have given up a long time ago.
I really wanted to like this watch. I want a fitness tracker, but I also don't want it to look like a gadget. The watch is beautiful. Just wish it was better made.
***Edit to original review***
I have dropped the review down to three stars. Still like it, and 90% of the time I don't have any issues. However, I have noticed that the inside of the face fogs up when going from a colder environment to a warm one. Seeing that I live in Florida and we've had a mild winter, I didn't think this would be much of an issue, but it has happened several times. Fog dissipates after returning to the normal environment, but it does cloud up the face. I contacted Withings and they said this was nothing to be concerned with. That said, I have never had a watch that did this.
Received the 40mm version of this watch for Christmas. I previously used the Withings Go, so I was already familiar with the app, but wanted something that looked more professional to wear in the office. My thoughts after wearing this watch for the last month: I love it.
Pros: It is a very good looking watch. And I use the word "watch" purposefully - it looks like a watch, not a fitness tracker. The step counter seems to be spot on, and I have tested it while manually counting the steps, and it was always very close to my counts (and quite honestly, I think the watch was correct - I don't trust my concentration that much and find myself forgetting what number I was on as I was counting). Heart rate sensor seems to be good, and registers my heart rate even when the watch slips down on my arm (Withings recommends you wear it above the wrist bone). I never thought that I wanted a smart watch, but I do find it beneficial to be able to glance down at my watch to see what text message just came in and whether I should get the phone out to read the text (for example, news from my favorite hockey team) or if I can leave it in my pocket (e.g., my wife). Finally, the battery life estimates are pretty good - I've only had the watch on the charger once in the month that I've had it.
Cons: I'm not a huge fan of the band that comes with the watch. It is a rubbery band, and in the humidity of central FL, my wrist gets very sweaty under the band. But since this is a standard watch setup, the band would be easy to change and customize. The only other minor con is the activity recognition. My main two forms of exercise are walking (which it does an excellent job recognizing) and rowing on an indoor rower. The watch doesn't recognize rowing, and stores at as walking. Simple fix to go into the app and switch the activity from walking to rowing though.
All in all, I love the watch. I also have the Withings scale and thermometer, and I love how all these connect into the app to show a more thorough picture of your health.

Éste en general es muy bueno y tiene buen diseño
Reviewed in Spain on September 11, 2017
Übrigens habe ich auch die Waage und den Blutdruckmesser von Withings. Mit diesen Systemkomponenten bin ich zufrieden. Gleichzeitig machen sie mir auch den Wechsel zu einem anderen "System" schwer, weil ich beim Kauf einer Tracking-Uhr eines anderen Herstellers, die automatisierte Datenaufzeichnung nicht mehr funktioniert und ich alle Systemkomponenten wechseln müßte.
Falls ich die Ersatz-Uhr bekomme, bevor ein neues Modell am Markt kommt, werde ich die Rezension ergänzen.
16.07.17: Hier die angekündige Ergänzung:
Ich habe jetzt meine neue Withings Steel HR 40 schon einige Wochen wieder. Kaum hatte ich mich beschwert, wo die Ersatzuhr bleib, bekam ich sie zugesandt. Wie gesagt, seit einigen Wochen habe ich sie jetzt schon wieder. Das Anlaufen tritt jetzt nicht mehr auf. Alles bestens. Ich ändere jetzt meine Bewertung auch von einem - auf 5 Sterne.
Insbesondere gefällt mir, daß die neue Firma NOKIA jetzt wohl die Entwicklung der Software vorantreibt und verbessert.
