Withings to launch first analog smartwatch with built-in ECG

I like the way you move

Withings is looking to take on Apple by releasing the first analog smartwatch with a built-in ECG. For those not familiar with the acronym, an ECG (electrocardiogram) is a test that records the timing and strength of your heart beat to hopefully shed light on any potential irregularities. Apple introduced the feature to its own smartwatch lineup last year with the Series 4, and now Withings is following suit with the Withings Move ECG. As well as being able to detect atrial fibrillation episodes (those little flutters in your chest), the Move ECG is also a rather fetching, water-resistant activity tracker that should provide some extra motivation for those of you looking to embark on a new fitness routine.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
