" ... I absolutely LOVED this tracker! ... "
" ... OK, It doesn't count all your steps around the house. ... "
" ... Like it as an everyday watch to wear, however, I do not think the watch is very accurate when calculating steps. ... "
" ... It looks good and is light weight and seems to track your steps relatively accurately. ... I checked the count vs. my Pebble watch and the counts were with in 15 percent of each other. ... If you are looking for a something that looks like a regular watch and tracks steps this is the device for you. ... "
" ... You will likely need to work harder to get the same number of steps to count with this device. ... It makes it easy to also count activities that a pedometer won't pick up on. ... "
" ... I'm not sure how accurate it is in terms of tracking my steps but just like my previous tracker, it motivates me to move. ... "
" ... There are only three things you can track without a smart phone with the Withings -- Time, alarm and percentage complete towards your steps goal. ... "
" ... It's perfect for someone who wants a general knowledge of their activity and steps while still having a great looking watch. ... "

" ... Love that it looks like a classic watch, that I could change out the bands, and that it fit any occasion. ... "
" ... I am not a big fan of the silicon band it comes with, so I got a black Milanese loop band (I recommend the one by No1Seller as it has 18mm bar, but the band itself is actually wider which looks really nice). ... "
" ... The strap on the Withings is adjustable and I like the fact that it looks like a watch and that it has an appealing face. ... "
" ... The large face is stylish but does not overwhelm my arm, several people have complimented the watch, not realizing it was a fitness tracker! ... "
" ... I like the silicone band, too, and the fact that you can order a gazillion other bands online if you so desire. ... "
" ... It is very stylish, lightweight, and it utilizes quick release straps. ... I just ordered a leather strap from Barton on amazon, should have it by Monday. ... "
" ... Plan on swapping out the band. ... Any watch band of proper size will do. ... "
" ... the metal band is nicer than the one that come with the watch ... "

" ... I wanted ONE watch that looks good (in a professional setting) as well as takes care of my activity and sleep tracking. ... "
" ... The watch also tracks sleep, but I haven't really paid any attention to that function. ... "
" ... You can wear it swimming okay and the Withings App does a nice job of counting your sleep and activity. ... "
" ... This is a great activity & fitness watch for anyone who enjoys simplistic . ... "
" ... It's a pretty watch and step & sleep tracker all in one. ... "

I don't know for sure which is more accurate step-wise, but the Fitbit definitely counts more. ... Math wise, the Withings is accurate. ... I've measured it over known distances and it's accurate. ... And through out the day, that little dial keeps me going for more steps. ... "

" ... I hate to admit it, but I also loved Withings APP - and grudingly accepted the "love" it gave when I passed certain milestones, like walking further than the circumference of Ireland, or the first time I walked 10,000 steps, 20,000 steps, 30,000 steps, even 50,000 steps. ... into the impersonal world of NOKIA's app. ...
