The smartphone is not a device that handles
all of your calls properly while ensur ing that your live is a whole lot
more organized – with a slew of new apps rolling out as well as
accessories that can connect to your smartphone directly via
a physical cable or over a Bluetooth connection, you can be sure that
the landscape of smartphone accessories is forever changed. Case in
point, the Withings Pulse might be something that folks who emphasize a
lot on fitness might want to check out, being a powerful and
pocket-sized activity tracking tool which was specially designed from
ground up in order to help users achieve personal health and fitness
goals.
It can be said that for the first time ever seen on an
activity tracker, the Withings Pulse would see the inclusion of heart
rate measurement as well as automatic run detection in order to have it
track the number of steps taken, distance covered, elevation, calories
burned, and quality of sleep. Hmmm, I suppose quality of sleep can be
measured by how much one moves, and chances are it would be at its most
accurate when you happen to sleep alone without anyone else in the room
messing up its readings with their snores and movement.
The
Withings Pulse will synchronize with a smartphone using Bluetooth Smart,
while there is the free Withings Health Mate App where all the data
will be collected and displayed in real time. The Withings Pulse tips
the scales at a mere 8 grams and measures a diminutive 1.69 inches,
meaning it is unobtrusive and is small enough to be inserted into a
pocket, bag, or even used with the included clip on a belt, shirt or
bra. Right in front lies a fully functioning OLED touch display, letting
you use your finger to navigate through the screens while browsing
through the past fortnight’s worth of collected data. At the back lies a
heart rate sensor which requires you to place your finger in order to
take a reading.
The Withings Pulse will play nice with iPhone
3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad, iPod touch 4th gen, iPod touch
5th gen and Android devices 2.3.3 or higher.
