Withings Steel HR Sport

Features

Overview: The Withings Steel HR Sport (HWA03B) is an advanced health and fitness tracker that keeps you informed on your activities and your progress toward a healthy lifestyle. The sport watch has a stylish analog watch face with a separate activity hand, plus a small (1/2") circular OLED window for displaying additional information. It is equipped with a heart rate monitor, connected GPS, and multisport tracking. It even tracks your sleep. All of your activity data can be analyzed and viewed on your smartphone or tablet via the Health Mate app. Steel HR Sport has a long-life rechargeable battery, with a 25 day battery life between charges (normal use).

Rugged Design: Steel HR Sport features a large 40mm (1.6" diameter) stainless steel case with mineral glass. The bi-colored drilled silicone wrist band fits wrists up to 9.1" in circumference. The device is water resistant up to depths of 165 feet (50 meters), and can operate in temperatures between 14°F and 113°F (-10°C - 45°C). It has a built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery that can operate for up to 25 days on a single 2-hour charge using the included charging cradle (with a standard 5V 1A mobile device charger). The battery will last an extra 20 hours if doing time and activity tracking only. Steel HR Sport is 1.62" wide x 1.778" high x 0.523" thick with a 10.5" long wrist band. It weighs only 2.05 ounces.

Health Mate App: Steel HR Sport connects wirelessly via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to the Health Mate app. With Health Mate, you can keep track of your activities, sleep, and health stats, including progress made and other trends. You can set goals and track your progress toward meeting those goals. After a workout, you can view heart rate zones, calories burned, duration, distance, and other data. The Steel HR Sport device has a limited memory, and you will have to open Health Mate regularly to sync your data to the app. The data syncs automatically after certain events occur, or manually, when desired. The app is compatible with iPhone and iPad running iOS 10.0 or later. It works with the Apple watch with watchOS version 3.0 or later. The app is also available for Android devices (version varies with device).

OLED Display: Steel HR Sport's 1/2" diameter OLED display features numerous screens to keep you informed of your activity and health data. In addition to showing the date and time, you can view your heart rate, number of daily steps, distance traveled, and calories burned. Steel HR Sport displays up to 6 exercises you can quickly access when you start a workout. You can also view the battery level, and the time of your next alarm. When Steel HR Sport is paired with your smartphone, you can receive notifications from your calendar, email, texts, and phone calls.

Heart Rate: The Steel HR Sport Health & Fitness Tracker features a heart rate monitor on the bottom of the device. The monitor uses photoplethysmography (PPG), which uses green LED light to detect variation in the level of blood in the wrist to determine the heart rate. By default, the device takes a heart rate measurement every ten minutes, allowing you to see how the rate fluctuates during the day. There is an option to monitor the heart rate continuously. (This will deplete the battery level much faster.) If you wear the Steel HR Sport every day, your average heart rate appears in your Timeline in the Health Mate app. It also shows the duration you entered the different heart rate zones (light, moderate, intense, peak) during the day.

Activity Tracking: Steel HR Sport can help you monitor your activities, and view your progress toward your daily goals. With the built-in MEMS 3-axis accelerometer, the device automatically starts tracking your activity, whether you're walking, running, or swimming. The analog activity hand at the bottom of the watch face goes from 0% to 100% according to your progress toward your daily step goal. The Health Mate app provides even more details, including graphs so you can see your history and progress.

Multi-Sport: Steel HR Sport can track up to 30 different activities that you can select directly on the OLED screen. During your workout, the watch tracks and displays your heart rate continuously, as well as the duration of the activity. When paired to your smartphone via Bluetooth, Steel HR Sport uses connected GPS to track the route you have covered on a map in the Health Mate app. Connected GPS is available for all distance-based outdoor activities, such as walking, running, biking, and canoeing. The Steel HR Sport offers Fitness Level assessments, based on maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 Max). Your fitness level is calculated based on your pace, heart rate, and weight.

Competition: Steel HR Sport and the Health Mate app can give you extra motivation by allowing you to compete with other users. You can invite people to join your Leaderboard so you can interact with them and compete in activities with them. While using the Leaderboard, you can encourage others, show off to them, and message them. If working out alone, you can gain some extra incentives by working toward and earning individual badges and other virtual rewards for daily and cumulative goals reached.

Sleep Tracking: When you wear the Steel HR Sport while you sleep, the device will track your sleep automatically. In the Health Mate app, you can retrieve your sleep data to show the total time you spent sleeping, time is deep sleep, time spent awake, and the consistency of your bedtime and rise times. Your average resting heart rate is also viewable in the app. Steel HR Sport can also be used to set an alarm for your wake-up time.
