While I love wearing a watch to track every detail of my health, I also enjoy wearing a fashionable watch that shows me the time without me having to turn on a display. Earlier this year, I enjoyed testing a Pininfarina Senso hybrid smartwatch, which has a unique shape and powerful hybrid capability.

The company has since released another model, the Sintesi, and after a recent smartphone app and watch firmware update, I can share my experiences with you. The Pininfarina Sintesi
As I was testing the Sintesi, I noticed that a few metrics from the Senso were missing, like the HRV, ECG, and stress monitoring. I commented in my previous review that these were not as useful because measuring them was a manual process, which especially does not make sense for stress tracking. That said, my heart rate tracking is now set to continuous and the health functionality is consistent, accurate, and reliable.
The Pininfarina Sintesi is made with high-quality materials, looks like a luxury watch, and is available now for $279 instead of $329.
It’s an amazing option if you love watches and want to track the basics like your sleep, steps, and heart rate. Plus, it has a few other hidden tricks to show off at parties.
