It used to be easy to know how fit you were. If running for the bus made it feel like your heart was trying to make a break from your chest like some sort of juvenile xenomorph, it was time to cut down on the chips, cheese and beer (and buy a shellsuit). But these days that’s not enough. Now people want metrics to go with their feelings, which is where the Withings Move ECG comes in. It can take electrocardiograms in just 20 seconds, which can help to detect an irregular heart rhythm that might not show up to a regular wearable. It also tracks steps, pace, distance and calories burned when you’re awake, or length, depth and quality of sleep when you’re in the land of nod, with all stats automatically saved in Withings’ Health Mate app. And because the movement is analogue, its battery will last up to a whole year. Yes, an entire 12 months. Apple Watch? Who needs an Apple Watch?
