Today we offer you the Review of the Steel HR Sportde watch at Withings.The Withings Steel HR Sport is an elegant hybrid smartwatch suitable for all athletes with heart rate measurement, multisport monitoring, GPS smart health connected via smartphone and assessment of physical condition by estimation of VO2 max.

With the resounding launch of the Withings Activity, the first analog smart health connected watch with activity and sleep tracking, Withings had a triumphant reception and started a strong impetus in the sector of hybrid smart health connected watches. Steel HR Sport perpetuates this tradition by combining high-end design and cutting-edge features to monitoring health and sports activities.

The packaging is dark, just the Withings brand, a bit like a case.

Once opened, the watch is immediately presented and highlighted.

This is fixed in the packaging, which is well thought out for transport.

Here is the watch… it is made of stainless steel and a 40 mm case waterproof to 50 meters deep. Available with a black or white dial.Sure Withings website you can easily order other bracelets.

Contents of the box:

The Steel HR Sport watch has a main analog dial indicating the time, as well as a secondary dial with the percentage of activity located on the bottom of the dial. The achievement made during the day in relation to the target set is also located on the bottom of the dial. This goal is set directly from the free Health Mate app.On the top of the dial you have an OLED screen which displays data relating to health and sports activities (daily steps, calories, distance and heart rate). The screen also displays smartphone notifications with a discreet vibration.In this photo, a cross is visible because the watch is not yet configured on my Withings account.

Setting up and using the watch

To configure and use your watch you will need to use the Health Mate app, I have been using it for years for my smart health connected scale, but also for other smart health connected objects.To add the watch, in the application, go to the devices tab, then to the "+" and choose "watches"

The first in the list is the right one fois Once your bluetooth is activated on your smartphone, you will have to turn on your watch by pressing once on the only button visible from it.

The watch is quickly detected and then smart health connected to your smartphone, the inclusion process is simple, you will have to type on your smarthpone the code visible on the OLED dial of the watch.

An update is available, I invite you to quickly update your watch because it is evolving, and this model is well followed by the brand.

This is the first time that a watch has offered to adjust the minute hand, from the application you can directly set the minute hand to 0. Then you will have to do the same thing with that of the hours.

Here is my watch is ready!

same if the watch does not have a very large screen or several buttons, it turns out to be very easy to use! By a long press on the button you access training mode, once the training mode chosen another long press will start your sport session.

In the parameters of the watch, you will be able to:– Activate notifications– Set the alarm– Customize screens– Personalize training

Thanks to its advanced notification functions, the Steel HR Sport means that you no longer miss out on what matters. Previously limited to calls, texts and events, Steel HR Sport and Steel HR users can now receive notifications from their favorite applications: social networks, news pages, sports or travel.

To find the follow-up of a sporting activity, you must synchronize your watch with your smartphone via bluetooth. We also find the tracking of the number of steps on your watch in real time.

With more than 30 recognized activitiesfrom yoga to volleyball to skiing, Steel HR Sport offers many sport functions and continuous activity monitoring during training. It will be necessary from the parameters of the watch to select the sports that you practice.

Steel HR Sport is also the first watch in the range to offer a cardio fitness index based on maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max), a key indicator of physical fitness. VO2 max is the maximum amount of oxygen consumed by a person for one minute and during intense physical exertion. The more fit the user, the higher the VO2 max score.

Steel HR Sport is the first product in the Steel HR range to offer a GPS smart health connected. When paired with a smartphone, it tracks pace, distance, altitude, and maps the walking, running, or biking session. The pace, distance and heart rate are displayed on the watch screen and can be followed live on the phone. After a session, the journey made is automatically displayed in the Health Mate application.

The ally of restful sleep

With an autonomy of 25 days and up to 20 additional days in reserve mode, Steel HR Sport also measures the duration and quality of sleep. After analyzing the data collected during the night (duration, regularity, depth and interruptions), it provides an overall sleep score in the Health Mate application which allows you to understand the quality of your sleep, in a simple and intuitive way. It also has features such as Smart Wake-up which will wake the user at the best time of their sleep cycle with a discreet vibration. The app has been enriched with an eight-week dedicated sleep ritual “Sleep Ritual” program offering advice and recommendations for improving your sleep habits over the long term.

To conclude

It is by far the best watch I have tested with the Withings brand. Its autonomy is a record for me with all the watches I have had to Review.Its use is simple, with a single use button. The dial is small compared to other models but this allows for a discreet and fairly fine watch.

Only downside, during certain activities it is possible to press the button unfortunately and thus stop the current session .. it is a pity that it is not possible to block the button during a sports session.
