Engadget giveaway: Win an Activitè Steel fitness tracker courtesy of Withings!
If you want to ditch those notifications, but still have all that activity tracking data in a unassuming package, consider Withings' Activitè Steel. This is an all day wearable with a silicone strap and stainless steel casing that's water resistant up to 50ATM, so swimming and showering are on the menu. It works with the Health Mate app so you can see all your step, running, swimming and sleep stats, but can save data when your phone isn't along for the ride. Its activity recognition lets you live life as usual without having to tweak settings for specific activities and there's no charging needed -- the battery lasts up to eight months. Withings has provided us with three of these activity trackers for a trio of lucky readers this week, so you can keep an eye on fitness all through the holidays. All you need to do is head to the Rafflecopter widget below for up to three chances at winning a Withings Activitè Steel! Winners: Congratulations to Marty B. of Central Point, OR; Jeremy M. of Channahon, IL and Rafael B. of Phoenix, AZ!
Withings' third analog fitness tracker is the $170 Activite Steel
Last year, French hardware maker Withings debuted the Activité, a $450 Swiss-made watch that also functioned as a fitness tracker. It then followed that up with the Activité Pop, a much lower-end version that cost only $150. Now Withings has come out with a wearable that sits somewhere in the middle: The $170 Withings Activité Steel. It isn't quite as luxurious as the Activité -- it has silicone straps instead of leather -- but it's certainly a lot classier than the Pop thanks to its stainless steel housing and chrome hands. The Steel also has a distinctive style all its own, opting for a white hand in the sub-dial instead of orange.
