How to update the firmware for the Withings Move
The 2019 Withings Move fitness watch provides up to 18 months of enjoyment before it needs a new battery. Along the way, you might need to update its firmware. Here's how to do it.
Updating the firmware
- Make sure your Withings Move is close to your smartphone.
- Tap on the Withings' Health Mate app.
- Select the Devices tab at the bottom of the Health Mate app.
- Scroll down until you see the listing for your Withings Move. Tap More settings.
- Under the About section, tap Check for updates.
- If you're asked to push the side button on your Withings Move, do so.
- If there is a firmware update, tap the Update button and follow the directions that will include downloading and installing the new file. If there isn't an update, you'll receive a message. Tap Done when this process is completed.
Firmware is typically released to fix bugs or push out new hardware features. These files are separate from the Health Mate software updates that arrive via the App Store or Google Play.
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.
A budget pick
If you're looking for an inexpensive fitness watch, you've come to the right place. For less than $70, you can buy the Withings Move which tracks your daily movements, sleep, and much more.
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.
Add some style
