The body of Withings Pulse is quite small, like a black matte version of iPod Shuffle, which may not be found even when dropped into a bag.

The bottom of Withings Pulse is a standard mirco USB interface, which is much more convenient than other dedicated interfaces.
The back of Withings Pulse is the sensor of the heart rate meter.
There is also an invisible screen on the front of Things Pulse, which cannot be seen when the screen is turned off. Whether the Withings Pulse screen is a single color display or a touch screen screen.

Supporting applications:
Most of the recording functions of Things Pulse need to be viewed through the corresponding App, and relevant settings should be made at the same time. The experience of the dedicated app of Things Pulse is good. It follows the design of Android Design, but it is not friendly. There is no choice of Chinese language, and it rejects some users.
Synchronization of Things Pulsee is quite simple. Press the top button for 3 seconds to synchronize. At the same time, turn on Bluetooth and open the App to synchronize.
Through the App, Things Pulse can view the daily walking records, give the percentage based on the goal of 10000 steps, and give the number of walks in each period. On the right side, there are relevant data of walking kilometers, climbing height and movement time. However, this app seems to have some compatibility problems. In addition to the relevant data that will be given on the same day, the previous relevant data will not be shown.
The sleep recording function of Things Pulse can record the relevant sleep data of users. Similarly, the percentage is given according to 8 hours. On the right side, there are total sleep time, sleep time and wake times. There are also waking time, latent sleep time and deep sleep time below. The sleep record of Things Pulse is not very different from that of JawBone UP, but it does not have the alarm clock reminder function of JavBone Up 2.
Summary:
Withings Pulse is a stable health device. Its standard walking record and sleep functions are the same as most health devices on the market. At the same time, its compact shape and rich accessories make Withings Pulse more convenient to play and wear than most bracelets on the market.
At the same time, the supporting apps of Things Pulse are also well designed and easy to use among related apps, and their cloud management functions are also quite good. However, Withings Pulse's app does not have Chinese, which excludes many users. In addition, there are some functional compatibility problems with the app, such as the lack of relevant records in the past, which makes the use of the app a little defective.
Unfortunately, Withings Pulse has no waterproof function, so you need to be careful when placing it. However, Withings Pulse's heart rate meter function and standard charging interface make up for this shortcoming, making Withings Pulse still have enough selling points in the market.
