The editors didn't like
Not waterproof or water resistant
Sleep tracking needs manual activation
No word on AU release
Another sleep tracker that seems to just measure how long you're horizontal
Despite the name
Blood oxygen levels aren't a big part of this device's allure
Has pretensions/potential to be a proper runner's tool
Abstract: Firstly, I like that the Withings Pulse O2 is wearable in different ways – dropped in a pocket, clipped to a belt or set in its own slightly clumpy wristwatch-style band (not in our photo). This adaptability makes it more convenient – although more losabl...
Abstract: Look after your health and it will look after you – so goes the saying and this next product could prove useful.Personal health and fitness is an issue that should concern us all. However, for some it is easily ignored due to the demands of everyday livin...
Full-featured Health Mate app, Onboard Pulse and blood oxygen saturation sensor, Choice of wristband or belt clip, Selfie data sharing
No tone or vibration alarm, Pulse slips around in wrist strap, Button must be pressed to view time, Not waterproof
The Pulse has become one of our favorite fitness bands thanks in a large part to Withings' detailed, comprehensive and well-designed app Health Mate. Sure, the Pulse can be worn on the wrist or attached to clothing via the belt clip. It does a good job ...
At £99.95 the Pulse O2 isn't cheap, but you do get a lot in the box for that price. Withings was smart by including a wrist strap and clip with the Pulse instead of making users shell out even more for such accessories.But the big question here is whethe...
Pulse monitoring, Easy Bluetooth syncing, Good battery life
You can't wear it in the shower, Screen struggles in bright light, Sleep mode has to be manually activated
Open Gallery The Withings Pulse O2 looks great value for money thanks to the inclusion of a pulse monitor, and is more stylish than most. But its lack of waterproofing, hard to read screen and hit-and-miss distance tracking mean it's far from p...
Good battery life, Useful run detection mode, Insightful sleep data
Screen is difficult in bright sunlight, Some inaccurate heart rate and run data, Cheap-looking watch straps
The Withings Pulse O2 is a feature-packed and largely effective tracker, but we'd like to see Withings address some of the small niggles and awkward wrist strap design....
Can't read your heart rate with the band on; screen is not always on, and terrible in bright daylight; not waterresistant
A new wristband and new firmware improve the Pulse and make it a true fitness band, but it's not a big leap forward over last year....

It weighs 8g, small size, plenty of information (when it works), smartphone Bluetooth sync and app support, online data analytics, keep an eye on your walking progress, full Withings ecosystem available
So small and light it's easy to misplace, pulse element ceased to work on occasion, won't accurately measure cycling as steps, battery life should be better, not waterproof, inaccurate measures, not a full-time heart rate monitor
For all its good Pulse hasn't totally connected with us. But then it might with you. It's all about where you're at. For some the Pulse will be a miracle product. For others, like us, it's not really something we need. For beginners, or those who a...
Compact design, Easy to use, Great battery life, Useful heart rate monitor
No syncing via USB, Screen brightness is poor
The Withings Pulse packs a lot into such a small body. It's so easy to use, has a great battery life and has the unique features that make it the best fitness tracking device to buy right now. Your move Fitbit and Jawbone…Next, read our round-up of the be...
When you first open up the packaging, you'll see that the Pulse is absolutely tiny. It weighs just 8g, and measures up at just 8mm thick, and 43mm long. So it'll fit in any pocket with plenty of room for your keys or phone. In the box you'll find the Pulse itself, a micro-USB cable for charging, a chunky silicone case, and a wristband to wear when you're sleeping. Setting up the Pulse is a cinch,
To use the Pulse, you have to sync through your smartphone or tablet, which can be annoying. The bundled USB cable is just for charging, so you can't beam your info over through your laptop or PC if your phone or tablet is out of juice.We also found that the Pulse wouldn't jump into Running mode automatically, meaning we couldn't check the distance we ran or how long it took. That could just be b
There's not much to fault the Withings Pulse on: it's a simple, understated device that you can stick right in your pocket and it'll track your activity for well over a week. Plus it can sync with a wide range of devices and measure your heart rate. If...
