For one that's still a watch but much less smartwatchy you might like the Withings Move ECG, which is "coming this spring".

Or for no ECG but an on-face heartrate display, their Steel HR:

Their least watchy one is the Pulse HR:

I have a pretty positive impression of them as a company. The iOS app aggregates its data into Apple Health (unlike FitBit where your data is stuck in their own apps last I checked), and it's back under the original founder. They had a stint as Nokia Health but separated off last year.

Note I haven't had any personal experience with their fitness tracker watch; I've got one of their scales.



I have the Steel HR. It's pretty nice, basically looks like a decent "normal" watch. good pedometer, heart rate tracker, sleep tracker.

I have an Apple Watch now, but I still wear the Steel HR when I go to bed for sleep tracking.


While I do use an Apple Watch, I can second the build quality of Withings’ products. I also use their scales!
