Withings Activité Pop Review: the best fitness tracker on the market

The Activité Pop goes on sale at the end of January, but IBTimes UK has been given advanced access to one of the new devices to see how it measures up. Withings Activité Pop Scores: Design: 9/10 - Minimalist, simple and clean with attractive colour options available. Build Quality: 9/10 - Not quite the level of craftsmanship of the Swiss-made original, but for the price it feels great. Software: 7/10 - The app is cluttered and lacks the flexibility of other fitness platforms. Features: 8/10 - This is not a smartwatch so lacks notifications but tracks walking, running, swimming and sleeping Overall: 9/10 - All the features of the original at almost one third the price without feeling cheap. The Good: Stylish design with multiple colour options. Waterproof. Great value for money. Long battery life. The Bad: No Android support. Can't change daily goal. No option for multiple alarms. This is more fitness tracker than smartwatch as we have come to define the category. In my mind it solves the battery problem of the latter while adding the functionality of a traditional watch to a regular fitness tracker. As a watch wearer this is just the type of device I would wear on an on-going basis and Withings' slim and minimalist design makes it an attractive accessory that doesn't scream I'm a fitness tracker!" And at £119, a price comparable to trackers on the market from Fitbit, Jawbone and Nike, the Activité Pop is a bargain. Music courtesy of http://www.freesfx.co.uk
