Withings Activité activity trackers

RzRzRzR

Does anyone else have the Withings Activité activity trackers? I love mine, and especially the fact that I can use the Activité in the pool and hot tub.

I have the Activité Steel, their Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor, and their Smart Body Analyzer scale. They all work well together.

Who else has Withings trackers and would like to compare notes?

I bought the Withings WS30 Wi-Fi scale a month ago and it works as planned. It sync'd easily with MFP and all of my daily weigh-ins are automagically uploaded and available.

Being satisfied for a month now with the Withings WS-30 Wi-Fi scale, about five minutes ago, I ordered their fitness tracker, the Activite Steel (just use your imagination to think that I figured out how to put the accent onto Activite )

It has good reviews, and since it is advertised as pretty "hands off/it just works" and that is my experience with the scale, I went for it. Hopefully a full review in a month or so of use. How's yours going after some more time using it?

My Activite Steel arrived on Wednesday. I've got it up and running. I learning about the sync, the app, the webpage, and most importantly trying to wrap my head around the data that it automatically collects. Two things off the top:
I've run(barely) and it shows it as walking...I don't get that validation...boo I must either run faster, or don't care what the fitness tracker shows.
I like the sleep monitoring info, it's basic, but nice to see.

I like the scale and blood pressure monitor. I have the Aura and really like the detailed sleep data. What I DON'T LIKE is that the Activité won't sync with MyFitnessPal. I get the steps on the watch, and the adjusted calories from the iPhone, which is vastly different from the watch. I'll have 9,000 steps on the watch and 11,000+ steps on the iPhone. That puts extra calories on for the day to eat, and I can't think it's accurate. I think having the Activité sync with MyFitnessPal would be best and more consistent.

@randylegrant Have you tried using the Withings Pulse app on MFP to sync? I used to use the Pulse, and when I switched to Withings Go I found there wasn't an app for syncing it to MFP, but I can sync the Go through the Pulse app.

I have a samsung s6 and the samsung Gear2 Neo watch. The watch syncs with the S-Health on my phone but didn't sync with Fitness Pal, so i downloaded Withings and now it syncs my S-Heath App on my phone (which retrieves data from my watch) to Fitness Pal, loving it!!

Do you guys check this box ? Enable Negative Adjustments If you have linked your MyFitnessPal account to a device or app that measures your total calorie burn (Fitbit, Bodymedia, etc.), check this box to allow negative calorie adjustments from that partner to appear on your exercise diary. Otherwise, only positive adjustments will be allowed.
Changes to this setting will be in effect only for adjustments received from that point on (past adjustments will not be restated).

A negative adjustment means that your projected calorie burn for the day from the partner is below MyFitnessPal's initial estimate. If you are unable to sync your tracking device until late in the day, or if you don't consistently use your tracking device, you may prefer not to enable negative adjustments.
