Select your watch

At launch, the Withings Move watch is available in five color combinations, including black/yellow, white/blue, white/coral, black/green, and white/green. This number will increase over the coming months. Additionally, you'll also soon be able to customize your Withings Move to match your tastes. In doing so, you'll be able to pick the colors for the dial, case, activity hand, and wristband via the Withings online store.

The Withings Move was introduced earlier this year alongside the Withings Move ECG watch that arrives later. The latter model offers a built-in electrocardiogram feature.
