Withings Go is a new, affordably priced fitness tracker. Withings is a French company and they have been in the game for a while now. Their first device was the Ultra-clear Premium, a Swiss-designed active SmartWatch, which really was just a very nicely designed watch that also has tracking capabilities. But this new Withings Go fitness tracker is their most affordable option.
According to Venture Beat, Withings are used to making very finely designed products with very well-made and inexpensive materials. So Withings Go is definitely an attempt to kind of bring as many people as possible into the Withings family with a more affordable tracker.
Withings Go has pretty much all of the activity tracking features that any of the more expensive Withings products do. Users usually track their activity in terms of steps, calories, distance, and Withings Go can definitely track these activities for you.
The Verge specifies the features of Withings Go, like how it automatically tracks sleep so users don't have to worry about putting it into a different sleep mode. Withings Go is also water resistant up to 50 meters so you can go swimming with it and it will track your swimming activity.
Withings Go also has an e-ink display. A lot of these kinds of disc fitness trackers will not have the e-ink display at all just because it's just kind of a piece of plastic and they prefer a more unique approach into showing your activity progress. But Withings Go chose to have an e-ink display and it is a much simpler way to see your progress and also the time.
One of the biggest differences between Withings Go and the more expensive Withings products is that you don't have a vibration motor in this new device, but that is reflected in the price. Withings Go is a basic tracker, and for $79.95 it comes with a wrist band so you can wear it just like a regular watch. It also comes with the kind of belt loop clips so you can just clip it to everywhere you want on your clothing.
Withings Go is a pretty good, inexpensive tracker and this could probably be just an example of Withings trying to play to the trends and keep up with everybody. With all these companies trying to saturate the space of those many different types of trackers as possible for every person in the world, this is just Withings' way of doing that by making their first affordable, Withings Go.
