Withings have long created some of the most stylish wearables on the market, and their latest effort is one of their best yet. The Withings Go is a simple fitness tracker with colourful style, integrating an e-ink display for excellent battery life. It’s coming soon to Mobile Fun, so let’s take a closer look.
The Withings Go is lightweight, with a built-in clip that lets you attach it to a keychain or belt loop easily. Of course, you can also wear it like a watch on a rubber strap, which seems a natural fit given its circular display. The centre of the display is actually a button, which switches between showing your fitness metrics and the time. The watch battery inside provides 8 months of use, which is a far cry from the average charge-daily smartwatch or charge-weekly fitness tracker.
The Go is able to differentiate automatically between walking, running and swimming (it’s waterproof). It can also track your sleep at night. The tracking available here isn’t as comprehensive as we’ve seen on more expensive wearables, but it definitely covers all of the basics. All of this information syncs wirelessly to the Health Mate app, which is available on iOS or Android.
The Withings Go looks like a great budget option for fitness tracking, and we’ve already arranged to stock it here at Mobile Fun. It’s available for pre-order now, with a UK price of £50.
The Go isn’t the only thing that Withings announced at CES this year. They also unveiled a smart thermometer, the Thermo. This is coming later this spring, and boasts accurate two-second readings taken from your forehead, rather than somewhere more invasive. What’s more, it comes with an app and a friendly colourful design.
