Withings' Activité Pop is now on sale in Best Buy as well as on Withings.com

One of the classier and less obtrusive wearable health-trackers in the market is the Withings Activité Pop which is now on sale in Best Buy Stores as well as on Withings.com.

Following up the stylish Withings Activité watch, Activité Pop converges fashion and mobile technology and is available in 3 distinctive “Pop chic” colors (Azure, Shark Grey, and Sand) and can be purchased for a retail price of US $149.95.

Activité Pop features two hand dials, one showing the time and a sub dial showing percentage progress of specific activity goals. The objective (e.g.: 10 000 steps) is set within the application and, throughout the day, the users know where they stand in a glimpse of an eye.  Worn at night, Activité Pop monitors sleep quality and lets the user set an alarm to wake up with a gentle vibration. 

 

As with all Withings devices, Activité Pop syncs automatically with the free Withings Health Mate application, named one of Apple’s Best Apps of 2014.  Health Mate acts as a coach to help users achieve personal goals and includes an interactive leader board, personal “data insights,” smart reminders and achievement badges. It is integrated with 100+ partners whose services add up to the 360° wellness experience (GPS running, food logging…). 

Activité Pop’s hands also move automatically when it crosses time zones. There is no need to recharge it as a single standard watch battery powers it and lasts up to 8 months. Finally, it is water resistant up to 30 meters.
