Design
The design of the Withings Pulse O2 is a rather practical person compared to other smart bands definitely. Optical especially with the standard band, I find it even ugly so I prefer cliff me to your pocket. The smart band of Xiaomi and Sony are there quite elegant and can be modified visually better. Because that's all a matter of taste but I will not evaluate it in the evaluation. One can decide the way in all Smart bands for other ribbon colors and clip colors.
-> 3/5 because I think that the design is somehow an unfortunate choice
Wear:
The Pulse O2 wears no matter how always very pleasant. The rubber band for the wrist nestles really good at hand. An even more comfortable wearing experience I had so far only the band Sony Smart. In addition, there is the possibility, as mentioned above already the "Core" so please refer to the part of the Smart belt with the technical features and in a "clip" to fasten to put on the clothes. That there is to my knowledge not only here and at the other smart strips. I find it very pleasant to attach the smart belt with the included in the delivery Clip somewhere (I do it on his pants) and so it is not noticeable in practice. There is also an extra "band" for the night which is a bit more comfortable to wear on your wrist. One has to bear for a good sleep tracking the core arm.
-> 5/5 is deleted prima
Features:
Now we come to canned. The Pulse O2 then can measure pulse and oxygen saturation levels perceive count steps, a distance calculated from the steps, tracken sleep, show time, and view the calories burned. I hope I have not forgotten because it can virtually everything theoretically a smart band on the paper may need. Let's look now but times all points more closely because there are large differences from other smart bands.
-> Pulse and oxygen saturation: Only works when the core again, take in each measurement from the respective mounting system and stick to her fingers. There are, for example, the Gear Fit the pulse that directly measures the wrist. Can not do !. They also enclosed the band as well as in all commercial bands NO recess so that they can measure the pulse at the wrist! This should have been better able to solve!
-> Pedometer, distance measurement and calorie display: These things are actually in all Smart bands without GPS equal. They function similarly or equally well even with all Smart bands. When Sony and the Xiaomi Smart band but you can adjust the step analysis better. The Sony Smart band can also identify whether dadrüber addition they run or walk or run quickly. That can not be the other.
-> Sleep tracking: I also find the solved unhappy with this smart band. Because even the 20 smart band of Xiaomi can automatically detect whether I'm asleep or not. The Sony also. The Pulse O2 not. I have to manually tell him about an attitude which I now possibly equal sleep.
-> Measure heights: Klappt here is excellent and from the other two Smart bands not supported The latest smart band of the Sony SWR30 But can this but has no heart rate monitor.
All in all they have here a good range of functions has been achieved by very few really smart bands, but many features are not sufficiently well implemented. I think the next version of this pedometer but then bomb!
-> 4/5 as there are still a few things to nachbesseren here. However, the functionality is great!
Battery life:
The Pulse of Withing O2 battery offers as much as I notice the ca 4-7 days of battery life. The Smart band Sony is also in this area. The Miband is there but absolute master with 30 days.
-> 4.5 / 5 battery life in my opinion is very good, because about a week is sufficient.
Other:
In contrast to other smart bands Smart this band has a display. One could think that you can supertoll display his missed calls or Nachichten here. No do not go. One could also think that you can do here supertoll by vibration attention to calls etc. No well is not. At least the last point goes, but at the other smart bands especially well when Sony Smart band which always vibrates when something has been missed.
-> 3/5 have really hoped for more here.
The Withings app:
In short it is really great and offers an optimal overview about everything you ever can tracken somehow. I recommend here but simply that they possibly times if you are interested make an account on the site and view yourself as a review anywhere beyond the scope of this review. But I am all in all absolutely thrilled and I know no better view!
---> 5/5
The function of the pulses O2:
Through a button and using the touch screen to navigate through the menus. That's all really good at everything solved here and more light has nothing helps. The display can be but out in the open but relatively difficult to read, I have found today because you can not vary the brightness. You can also choose which home they want when they press for the first time on the button. Each time you print a selected by you order from menu opens. 1. pressure Time, 2. pressure pulse, 3. pressure altitude etc ..
-> 5/5 The operation is really extremely well thought out and leaves no wish unfulfilled
Conclusion?
If you can cope with the usability and the design I really recommend the Withings Pulse O2. It offers a lot and I think there is only 1-2 bands can play the Functionally here. One would be the newest Fitbit Smart belt. The corresponding app and the webside illustrate their training successes really optimal and can even be coupled with other apps like MyFitnessPal (calorie counter app)! I can indeed be no absolute buy recommendation but if you are the disadvantages rather unimportant they are here still the right place and be permanently happy with this smart band!
Hope I could help you with my review. If you believe that you sign up quietly, I have indeed relatively focus me;). I will reply as soon as it comes :) I would like to look forward with fallen on an assessment, because I have a lot of effort put into this review in order to provide you with a good impression as possible.
