The Withings Go is as simple as fitness trackers get. It covers the basics including calories, distance, steps and sleep, and if you press its always-on, button-like display, it tells the time. It can be worn on your wrist with an included band, or somewhere else on your body with a plastic clip. No matter where you put it, the Withings Go feels comfortable and the E Ink display looks great. The problem is that it simply doesn't do enough to justify its $79.95 price tag. You'll get more for your money, including extras like the ability to take selfies on your smartphone and control Powerpoint presentations on your PC, with our Editors' Choice, the Misfit Flash Link, which is a quarter of the price.
Design and Display
Like the Misfit Flash Link, the Withings Go is, in essence, a button. It measures 1.4 by 0.4 inches (HD) and weighs 0.3-ounce on its own, or 0.8-ounce in the included wristband.
