Withings Steel HR Sport | Sexiest smartwatch of 2018
After 3 weeks of testing the Withings Steel HR Sport smartwatch, here’s my final review. If you’re short on time, let me sum it up: the Sport model isn’t a huge evolution on the original Steel HR, but this is still one of my favourite fitness trackers – not to mention the most stylish smartwatch I’ve slapped on my wrist in quite some time.
Check out my full unboxing to see the Health Mate app’s various features and I’ve also compared the Steel HR Sport with the original watch (which was rebranded as the Nokia Steel HR last year). This updated 2018 model boasts connected GPS and impressive activity tracking, plus full water resistance for swim stroke measurement.
So is the Withings Steel HR Sport one of the best smartwatches of the year? It’s certainly stylish and packs plenty of smarts on top. Let us know what you think in the comments and subscribe for more reviews of wearable tech, mobiles and more!

Definitely waaay more classy than Fitbit. I like the simpler App summary layout too.
What's the second small dial used for, I can see it has like 100% on it?
It's a nice little gadget, but more for folks that need a tracker for steps and the easy stuff. If you into training it lacking many things.
Can you see the seconds?
Any idea on what apps (not fitness) work with this watch? Examples like Instagram notification, Hangouts notification, Android Messages notification?
Great watch. Withings is an underrated company. I use garmin vivomove hr, but withings are way better. Unfortunately they have now only white version available.
Does the gps-function only works when you exercise with your phone nearby? Or is it enough to connect the watch to your phone after the exercise? In other words: when I go running without my phone, does the watch register my route?
Hello, I train in the gym, especially the strength and I know that wrist pulse meters are not very reliable for this type of training (I have a link that is the best …), it is possible to synchronize the clock chest Band like the polar H7 or other type of FC sensor to be able to record force or hit sessions with these sensors on the clock?
Based on this ticketyboo review, I have picked up a Nokia Steel HR off Amazon Warehouse and even as it's charging, a quick play and a few tests prove to me that it's considerably better than the Garmin equivalent and notifications are fine for the battery life and even some of the more obscure apps I run on Android work great. In fact it's so good, I am tempted to pay the extra and get the Withings larger model with number markings. Thanks
From the looks of it the strap is waaaay too big. I have small wrists too and that would drive me crazy having it wrap all the way around.
Love this.. Thanks. I already have the black steel HR, I'm so tempted!
what is your thoughts on the price of this? worth it or better things for the price? great review though you got so much content really conciecly!
You've got a great face for radio…
Fully water resistant or fully water proof?
Nothing about this smart watch is nice in any way shape or form OOF.
Well, I have/had a lot of smartwatches, and now I ordered this one! Finally a white faced watch! I was really into the 36mm white one, but that was a bit small on my wrist. Now, this 40mm sport is an instant get. I'm a bit bored with the Samsung, and the other amoled watches. 1-1,5 day battery life is disappointing. Now my daily runner is a pebble time round. I prefer transflective LCD over amoled, and yes that's run out of battery every second day, but it takes only 15 minutes to recharge. I also have a fossil q hybrid. Now, the withings is somewhere between a smartwatch and a hybrid. I'm very satisfied with it. The black version looks also fine, but the white one is better. If the activity ring at the bottom would be black on a white dial, now that would be insane!
whats really the diffrence from this to the steel hr from nokia now whitings?
Great review Chris! 20K subs and counting!! ✊?
