Withings' Activité and Activité Pop are two of only a handful of activity trackers on the market that are entirely waterproof, and as of today, the two devices are able to be used to track swimming. Swim detection is a feature that Withings has long promised and will be a welcome addition for customers who bought the activity trackers to track their Swim movements.
Following today's firmware update, Activité fitness trackers will be able to automatically detect Swim motions, recording a swimming session as a workout as the device does for other activities like running. Activity and workout information is then available for viewing within the accompanying Withings Health Mate app.
Activité Pop automatically recognizes swim. Just put it on, dive in and the watch will log your full session and record calories burned.
Both of the Withings activity trackers are water resistant down to 50 meters, or 164 feet, a feature that many of the popular activity trackers on the market can**t match.
Even Apple's own Apple Watch is **t rated for swimming, but several people have opted to test the waterproofing of the device and have found that it does seem to be able to be used in the water With ** consequence. Still, Apple does **t recommend that it be used when swimming or showering, unlike the Activité, which can be used reliably in both situations.
