The analog watch, which has an electrocardiogram feature, is a third of the price of an Apple Watch S4.
The year of electrocardiogram tech is underway. You didn’t think it would just be the Apple Watch, did you?
Withings’ newest fitness watch, the Move, was announced at CES 2019 in Las Vegas. It has the ability to take electrocardiograms, a chart of your heartbeat often abbreviated to EKG or ECG. It’s also a regular-looking analog watch — and at $130, it’s about a third the cost of an Apple Watch S4. (Converted, that’s about £100 or AU$95.)
Withings makes a number of health and wearable devices, including blood pressure cuffs. The Move ECG is the company’s first watch that’s supposed to be able to check for atrial fibrillation. It’s expected in Q2 of this year, pending FDA and CE clearance.
The Move ECG looks like an evolution of the Withings Steel fitness watches that have been available for years, minus the Steel HR’s optical heart-rate monitoring and LED display.
