I got myself a Withing Activité Steel watch for an absolute steel and apart from the strap, I think it's a gorgeous looking watch, especially as a "smart" activity tracker watch.

The one thing I don't like however is the silicone strap which I want to replace for a weather one.

I found this which would have been perfect but they are sold out and can't find anything similar. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for a perforated strap with a nice white accent stitched into it. I think that would look rather smart.

The size is 18mm.



Here's the Activité Steel:

High quality for the price - My Omega Speedmaster lives on a black and white one.

They are nice! Thanks.

I'll see if I can get a black and white one too.

Unfortunately the Activité is on its way back to Withings as I found a flaw in the crystal and it's irritating the OCD in me. Hopefully I'll get a replacement soon...

Will do...I still need to send off the Activité back to Withings which I will do on Tuesday so I'm not expecting this to be done for a while. They've agreed to replace it so all good.

Just an update on this....

I ended up returning my Activité Steel...I found a flaw in the display crystal so I sent it back to Withings for a replacement. However just as I sent it back, I saw a lightning deal on Amazon for the top end Activité for just 50eur more so I snapped it up.



It actually comes with a leather strap but I found it too feminine as it's very thin on the end and I have large wrists and hands.

I'll still therefore be buying a black sport strap to go with it but I'm wondering if I go for a contrasting trim in orange to go with the dials or stick to plain black. The off-white contrast stitching doesn't really go with this watch so I'll have to scrap that original idea...

On another topic entirely, I also got my hands on a Withings Wifi scale for a steal so I'm hoping all this tech will help me lose a few pounds! biggrin
