The Steel HR’s case is chunky, but the watch is comfortable to wear (a LOT more comfortable than most smartwatches that I’ve reviewed) due to the comfy silicone wristband that has an actual buckle instead of an annoying tab and slot style wrist strap.

Track activity, sleep & heart health—in style

Withings invented
the first hybrid smartwatch
Watch your health
Keep on top of your personal goals day and night with the hybrid smartwatch that delivers a detailed overview right to the companion app.
24/7 heart rate monitoring
With its 25 days of battery life, Steel HR takes readings around the clock to give a holistic view of your heart. Enjoy heart rate tracking day & night plus continuous tracking during workouts.
Daily activity tracking
Daily activity tracking
Steel HR automatically counts steps and recognizes walking, running, swimming or sleeping. Steel HR is water-resistant to 50m.
Automatic sleep monitoring
If you wear Steel HR to bed it will automatically track light and deep sleep cycles, duration, and sleep quality via the Sleep Score. Plus, the Smart Wake-up feature can get you out of bed at the best time according to your sleep cycle.
Why it matters
Sleep tracking helps you understand your night and make choices that can improve them. Studies have shown that better sleep helps people manage weight, reduce blood pressure, and even reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
What’s behind the tech
The accelerometer, paired with heart rate, allows a comprehensive and detailed analysis of your night. Our proprietary AI has been calibrated with a sleep laboratory in Manheim, Germany and with Beclere Hospital in France, using polysomnography, considered to be the gold standard for sleep analysis.
Sleep score
Every day, find out how restorative the night was with a score based on duration, depth, regularity & interruptions.

Reviews
This is a health tracker watch I was actually happy to wear, simply because it looks great.
A stylish activity tracker watch that might actually make you want to exercise!
I love the grey silicone strap I’m wearing because it’s waterproof (up to 50m) and looks sophisticated.
A classy hybrid watch with just enough smarts
Normally I’d be getting quite agitated by now. I’m relaxed because I last charged the watch at least a fortnight ago, so I’m confident it’s not going to run down on me for a while yet.
The Withings Steel HR is the best smart analog watch you can buy, hands down.
I've been happy with the Withings HR that I've had for a while now. It does what I want and it's nice to have an actual watch on my wrist. The fact that it lasts almost a month between charges and functionality degrades gracefully when the battery gets really low is a nice bonus.
Unless you’re someone who hates having anything on their wrist in bed, the Steel HR Sport’s slim physique makes it comfortable to wear to sleep.
My new Withings watch only needs charged every 25 days. I'd recommend it.
I couldn’t be happier with it and I haven’t taken it off since I’m back from holiday, only to charge it.
I have the Sport HR and I love it. I'm all in with Withings
Just got my Withings. One charge for almost a month. Love it.
Gotta say, that’s what I love my Withings watch for.. 25 day battery life
I actually did play a badminton session (before the whole COVID-19) using the Steel HR Sport and the watch picked my sessions up really well.
My wife bought a Withings hybrid smart watch, which has a watch with actual hands as well as the various smart functions. She’s very happy with it. Not too big and and the battery life is extraordinary.
If it fits you’re style, there are a few really nice hybrid smart watches with physical analog minute/hour hands. I’ve got a Withings and I love it for activity tracking, notifications, sleep tracking

Rolling Stone
The best fitness trackers for recording your exercise, heart rate and sleep.
YES! Withings. I love mine, it's affordable, looks cool, it's waterproof, does all of that stuff.
I have a Withings, I love that it just looks like an analogue watch rather than a fitness tracker.
