Withings unveiled the Withings Activité Pop, a cheaper alternative to the Withings Activité, at CES 2015. It became one of the event’s highlights. It launched in Europe in February while North America continued to wait for its chance to get its hands on the eye-catching (especially in Bright Azure) smartwatch. Withings today announced via Twitter that the Withings Activité Pop has now gone on sale in North America.

While the Activité Pop helps you track your progress against your fitness goals, the companion app provides additional information about the 5 health dimensions (Activity, Sleep, Weight , Heart, Environment) it tracks. These include a step counter, distance traveled, caloric expenditure and sleep details such as time to fall asleep, duration and sleep cycles. It can also detect activities such as walking and running (swimming coming soon).
The Withings Activité Pop is now available through Best Buy as well as Withings’ own website. It sells for US$149.99 (about CA$190). All three colours, Bright Azure, Shark Gray, and Wild Sand, are available.
Canadians hoping to get their hands on the Withings Activité Pop can now order it through the company’s website. It remains to be seen if Best Buy Canada will carry it as well.
