Just saw this pop up.
It will be something between the Activite and activite pop. And they just partnered with MFP. Does anyone know how the new relationship will happen? Are withings users going great to be able to log everything seamlessly in the withings app? Meaning no need to use the MFP app?

    You'll still need to log food into MFP as there is no facility to do this on Withings Health Mate. I don't use the MFP progress charts etc, as Withings makes the info clearer IMO.

    Yes, however now iphone users (not me) get the option of seeing all nutrition details within the withings app. Also many other things to come from what my short research comes up with. Right on their website and an email I just received is boosting about their new partnership.

    As for the steel it looks to be an awesome price point. Maybe they designed it with the same Stainless Steel as the original.

    I can't find any information about a new partnership on their website (I've had Withings and MFP linked since May '15), or about tracking nutrition details. Do you have a link please? I'm probably looking in the wrong place!

    I don't like the watch-style trackers, too many false readings from hand movements. I use Withings Pulse Ox, worn on my clothing.

    Ah, I've just found that the iOS app has a nutrition widget, which gives the same information as the web interface and the android app (if I hover over any of the daily datapoints). Nice that iOS is catching up with the more popular platforms ;-)

    Odd.
    All I can find now. (nothing on the main site)

    This is what I get for switching to android. Apple seems to be way more polished from what i see on wife's phone.


    It was an email that I initially received, also saw it on the mobile website through the phone. talking about the new partnership.

    I have the watch and love it!
    but you are right it does make mistakes. When pushing a stroller, shopping cart for groceries etc...
