Lots of people have jumped on to the quantified self fitness wagon lately, & have to put up with unattractive smart watches or bands to track their exercise regime. Nokia says it now has a remedy to this “ugliness’ with its Steel HR, a stylish classic analog watch. The latter includes a digital readout & does around the clock heart rate monitoring, even as it goes about monitoring up to 10 different activities such as walking, dancing, running, swimming & even sleeping.
The watch connects to your smartphone with the free Health Mate app, so you can monitor trends to help you improve over time & join wellness programs.
