what do you expect out of the timepiece that you wear around your wrist the nokia still is a SmartWatch for those who don't actually like smartwatches if you find wearables from other brands too clunky or newfangled you'll rejoice in the steel simplicity at first glance it looks like an ordinary wristwatch a stylish one for sure but there's no hint at any technological sorcery going on inside but sorcery there is the Nokia steel houses fitness and sleep trackers inside there's no screen on the watch itself so you'll get all your data through a dedicated app so yeah it's a nifty device if you're not about the seeker look of most swamp watches plus unlike other wearables which you have to recharge every few days Nokia says the battery on the steel will last a whole eight months but still there's less appeal if you've already owned a SmartWatch or a dedicated fitness tracker the still is fairly feature light it'll tell you how many steps you walked in a day as well as the total distance you traveled by foot it also calculates how many calories you burn but since there's no heart rate tracking that's just a calculation based on your profile then there's the sleep tracking if you sleep with your skill on it'll tell you how much sleep you got how many times you woke up during your sleep and how long it actually took you to get to sleep I'm sketchy on that feature though as it's often said it took me minutes to sleep when I know it was closer to an hour the watch has a silent alarm feature but it doesn't vibrate hard enough it's failed to wake me up on numerous occasions I still also had some trouble recognizing when I was actually sleeping or actually when I wasn't sleeping there were times where I thought I was getting some shut-eye when I was actually sitting at my desk totally working many users have also reported having issues with the app specifically in importing data from other apps I had some trouble syncing the watch to my phone as in no matter what I did it wouldn't work but after a few days it did and since then I've had little trouble there are some kinks to smooth out and the fitness tracking isn't as robust as it should be for the price point but that's not the point of the nokia steal it's a stylish wristwatch first and a tech wearable second it's not the best SmartWatch for the gym but it is one of the only ones that won't get you gorked at and a night out for more news and reviews check back to see Netcom
