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.

Best Analog Watch Sleep Tracker
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.
