I love this watch. I used to have an Apple Watch but I like this one better. It looks like a regular watch but it still tracks steps, workouts, hr and oxygen levels (without having to upgrade like the Apple Watch). It’s nice to get a smart watch that has important functions w/o having to pay so much. The battery lasts weeks unlike some of its competitors. I can go days without charging it.

This is a beautiful watch, I love the color and gradients. I didn’t want a watch that answered the phone, text or shine my shoes, I just wanted a watch to keep track of my vitals and this watch does that well. It works with my iPhone apps. I haven’t learned everything about it yet but it’s very comfortable I wear it all the time.

I always get compliments on this watch. It's classy and still tracks HR and workouts.

love it would recommend it to friends and family. it pairs with my phone and i bought the whitings scale also

---- Summary ---- Pros: - Stylish design - Comfortable to wear - Long battery life - Sleep tracking with cycles and sleep score - Wide range of accurate health sensors/metrics - Workout tracking - Water-resistant up to 50 meters - Customizable, unobtrusive smartphone notifications - Great smartphone app Cons: - No built-in GPS or NFC - No always-on digital display - Occasionally mistakes some movements as cycling ---- Review ---- Design: With its hybrid design, the Withings ScanWatch blends aspects of a traditional analog watch with those of a smartwatch. At first glance, most wouldn’t think this is a smartwatch, and that’s one aspect of the design that I like. It’s basically a traditional analog watch with a small digital display at the top. By default, the display is black, and if you want to turn it on, you press the crown. The display is clear and bright making it easy to read from all angles and in different lighting. I wish you could set the digital display to be always-on though. The strap is black and made of durable silicone-like material. While I haven’t tried different watch bands yet, it’s simple to remove and replace them, and it appears compatible bands are available in a variety of materials and colors. What I didn’t initially notice until reading more about all the features is that the subdial at the bottom of the watch face shows the percentage (0-100) of your step goal that you’ve accomplished. This is a neat little feature that blends right in with the traditional, classy look of the watch. On the right side of the ScanWatch, there is a pressable crown that enables you to activate the digital display and scroll through or select features like performing an electrocardiogram (ECG) or starting workout mode. More on those later. To wrap up my thoughts on the ScanWatch’s design, its metal construction and scratch-resistant glass evoke durability and quality. It’s also comfortable to wear and stylish. Mobile App: Syncing the watch to your phone takes place in the “Health Mate” app, which is also the hub for your health data and settings. I appreciated the guided setup process that only takes a few minutes. The app was thoughtfully designed to provide a glance at relevant data like your average heart rate or sleep score from the previous night. It also provides the ability to look more closely into that data for specifics and trends. Notifications from any app can be received on the ScanWatch, and I like that these can be turned off or on in the Health Mate app. While I find notifications helpful, I like that the watch isn’t centered around them. From setup to analyzing tracked data, all aspects of the app are easy to use. I enjoy using it daily because I feel that it provides me with valuable insight and motivation to reach my goals. Health Monitoring: In my view, the standout health monitoring features of the ScanWatch are an electrocardiogram (ECG) and oximeter (SpO2), as well as 24/7 activity and heart tracking. I’m not a health professional, but I recently learned that an ECG can detect heartbeat irregularities. An oximeter, on the other hand, measures the oxygen saturation of your blood. It’s exciting to see health monitoring tools such as these in a smartwatch. It’s important to follow the instructions when using these features, otherwise, you’ll receive a message stating the results were inconclusive. I feel confident in the oximeter readings because I compared the results on my watch with a fingertip pulse oximeter and they matched exactly. The ECG is designed to detect arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm). For me, the ECG result just says “normal”, which is what I’d expect. In addition to the ability to manually perform ECG or oximeter tests, the ScanWatch proactively monitors your heart all day to give you important data, such as average heart rate, or even alert you of irregular heart rhythms. If you chose to wear the watch while you sleep, the sensors can detect breathing disturbances, an indicator of sleep apnea. I felt that this feature was worth mentioning because sleep apnea affects many people, and the ability to detect this via smartwatch is a new technology. I’m fortunate enough to not have sleep apnea, but I like knowing that this tool is available. What I’ve found especially intriguing about sleep tracking with the ScanWatch is the sleep score it provides in the Health Mate app. The score is based on sleep cycles, duration, regularity, and interruptions. I do notice that a lower sleep score correlates with tiredness during the following day. I’ve realized that tracking sleep and putting a score to it motivates me to improve my sleep. The wide variety of health monitoring tools in the ScanWatch provide me with peace of mind. Fitness Tracking: Steps and other activities like swimming (ScanWatch is water-resistant up to 50 meters deep), biking, and running are automatically recognized and logged in the Health Mate app without needing to press any buttons. The automatic tracking works well, but it’s not perfect. For instance, there have been several occasions where the ScanWatch registered that I was cycling when I was doing work around the house. Detailed measures, such as floors climbed or distance traveled, are tracked automatically as well. Distance traveled requires the use of your phone’s GPS though, so if a built-in GPS that doesn’t require a phone to track distance is a feature you’re looking for in a smartwatch, this may not be the one for you. For other workout types, an “Other” workout mode can be manually activated from the watch, and a summary of the workout will show in the Health Mate app, which provides measures like duration and heart rate. Each of the measures seems to be accurate, and everything is well summarized in the Health Mate app to view data specific to a workout or look at trends. The automatic capabilities of the ScanWatch take the guesswork out of fitness tracking. Battery Life: The advertised battery life is up to 30 days. I’m happy to report that seems spot on. I’ve tried to avoid charging the ScanWatch since I first got it to test the battery life, and while I’m not up to 30 days yet, it seems that it could get there with regular use. I’ve been frequently testing the health monitoring tools and using the optional sleep monitoring feature overnight, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the battery doesn’t make it the full 30 days, nonetheless I’m impressed by the battery life. I certainly don’t have to worry about charging it every night, so that’s a major perk of the ScanWatch. Verdict: The Withings ScanWatch is a beautifully designed hybrid smartwatch with a wide range of health monitoring features and exceptional battery life. Its comprehensive health and fitness tracking features make it a powerful and insightful device. While there’s no built-in GPS for phone-free distance tracking or NFC for payments, these weren’t must-have features for me. The ScanWatch is my first hybrid smartwatch, and now I’m a fan. As long as your priority isn’t built-in GPS, NFC, or other smart features that the ScanWatch doesn’t have, I highly recommend this smartwatch. Its style and important health metrics are unmatched.
