Analog meets digital
With such a high saturation of smart watches in the market, it's rare to see a new player that's not one of the three major tech companies. At first glance, the watch looks like a typical analog watch. Then as you get a closer look, you see a small circle at the top of the watch face, and that's the digital component. I'll be honest, I thought the whole watch face would be digital, so to see an actual analog watch face was somewhat of a surprise. The watch itself has a nice build quality to it, and a nice finish to the material. The only moving part on the watch is the crown, which allows the control of the digital screen. The only cheap feeling part are the two straps. The straps are that soft silicone that I'm not a big fan of. I've had this type of strap with my other smart watches, and when you sweat, it starts to feel slightly rough. I looked through the box hoping for another pair of straps but to no avail. In order to fully get the most out of the watch, you'll need to download the app. You'll need to create an account for the app, and once everything is verified, then coming the pairing between the app and watch, and finally the update. The app itself is robust. Which is a good and bad thing. It's almost too cluttered. I wish the app had a more cleaner interface. It's weird to say, but it just has too much information. You have three sections at the bottom where you can see your main home screen, a measurement (Body), and an achieve screen. The achieve screen is mostly a marketing screen for their paid withings+ sub. The app overall has a lot of the functions as you would see in most other modern smart watches such as steps, oxygen, heart rate, ECG, and workout. I do find the sleep monitoring really interesting. Ultimately it's disappointing that a good number of the app benefits are behind a sub wall. All in all, it's a nice watch that has a nice old timey feeling. It's a weird niche that Withings is trying to tackle. It's more a health watch than a full blown smart watch. The bands are cheap feeling, and it's hard to convince myself to not wear my normal smart watch and wear this health watch on a permanent basis. It's a nice attempt, but a combination of a niche device with a sub wall, and no real other "smart features," it's something I can't see a lot of people being interested in... unless they don't own any type of smart watch.

Incredible Sleeper of a Smart Watch
I was pretty excited to get my hands on the Withings ScanWatch 2. There are really two features that really stood out to me - battery life and styling. Obviously there are tons of features that this watch delivered well on, but these two were most important to me. Long Battery Life: The battery life of the ScanWatch 2 is impressive. I've used other smartwatches that needed daily charging, but not this one. It's refreshing to have a device that can keep up with my busy schedule without constantly worrying about battery drain. I’m on pace for it to last about 20 days with push notifications and quick look enabled. The reason I appreciate the battery life so much is because I am able to track my sleep without having to worry about charging every other day like I was with a competitor. Styling: Aesthetically, the ScanWatch 2 is a winner. It's sleek, stylish, and doesn't scream "tech gadget" on my wrist. It's versatile enough to wear in both professional and casual settings, which I appreciate. I do love how this looks just like any other watch. App Performance: The app is both functional and user-friendly. It does an excellent job of presenting data in an understandable manner. Tracking my activities, heart rate, and sleep patterns has never been easier. The insights offered are genuinely useful for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. One thing to note is you will have to pay for a subscription to get the most out of the app and watch. Features: The heart rate monitor, blood oxygen sensor, and sleep tracking features are standout aspects of this watch. I found the heart rate monitor to be remarkably accurate. The sleep tracking feature is detailed, providing insights into sleep patterns and quality, which has helped me make some beneficial adjustments to my routine. Minor Downsides: However, it's not all perfect. I've encountered some minor issues with push notifications. Sometimes they are delayed or don't come through at all. Also, the Quick Look feature can be inconsistent, which can be a bit frustrating when in low light situations. The hands do appear to glow in the dark but even after being exposed to direct sunlight, the luminescence quickly fades and essentially renders the watch useless unless you have quicklook enabled or press the crown. Additionally, I’ve noticed that some characters get cut off on the small display - for example, the 'W' in Wednesday often doesn't fully show, which, while not a deal-breaker, is a detail that could be improved. The Withings ScanWatch 2 is a fantastic hybrid smartwatch for those who are health-conscious and appreciate a blend of functionality and style. While it has a few minor flaws, they are far outweighed by its many benefits. I find myself relying on it more each day, and it has become an integral part of my health and fitness journey.

Watch but also a great health monitor. Use the app
With many options in the market, I found that the Scanwatch 2 combines the stylish design of a classic analogic watch with a silicone band with a powerful brain that in sync with the app in your phone becomes a powerful source of health metrics. The box has all the relevant elements to start your love relationship: the watch itself, the charger and its wire, a card with the app location, and an instruction manual (very simple, more like a quick guide). What is not there, following most of the manufacturer's practices, is the power plug. The first action is clearly to download the app on your phone, which will be quite fast. After downloading the app, you will need to create and activate your profile. The synchronization with your watch and your phone is quite fast and remains simple during daily functioning. Be aware, however, that the first software update took me more than 5 minutes. This sync process itself is one of the great guau factors because is working also when the phone is not in the same room (or floor) as the watch. Because the phone and the watch are connected you can receive the notifications from your phone in your hand. Now, be aware that you can not respond to your phone calls with the watch and I recognize that very long messages are hard to fully read but still is great to notice a phone call when your phone is not in your pocket. In addition to your analogic part, the watch includes an Oled screen that is functional by moving the crown. With additional spins, you will access the different functions and functionalities of your watch all of them related to health metrics. The watch can measure your steps, your heartbeats per minute, steps, body temperature, miles walked, and floors climbed. But the mind blowing addition is that it can also measure your ECG and SpO2. ECG is for me one of the new technology elements that this device adds to my life, I’ve seen other options on TV but most of them are separate devices, this is on my wrist 24 hrs/7. The same applies to the SpO2 but in this case, while devices are quite cheap, in this case are in my wrist. One note on your first ECG reading. You should cover the dial with the opposite hand to the one carrying the watch and it’s hard to see if the reading is correct. A couple of first intents were not ok. After the first good reading, you receive the message that this would require a review by a health expert the functionality is fully activated. This review requires you to enter personal data such as your phone number, name, DOB, and state of residence. While my first reaction was suspicious, I ended by appreciating that if something looked odd, I would not receive a bad reading but a potential contact from an expert. Thankfully, my first reading arrived 12 hours after submitting it, and was normal. Another perhaps more standard functionality, while still great, is sleep tracking. No need for any type of setting, just going to bed and the following day you can have readings of the sleeping time, the quality of it, and the number of times you awaken during the night, and all are measured with a score defining the sleep quality. I love the readings of sleep combined with heart rates that could help me to understand better or worse sleeping practices. Finally, I am very happy to report that the app by itself is very well done and part of the must-have combo. Not only as a managing device to read all your metrics, synchronize the devices, and update and manage your profile but also for its infinite functionalities to connect with other available apps in the market. All screens and graphs are super clear and made to show progress (hopefully to motivate you). All are very well designed, very intuitive, and have a user-friendly group of menus that are easy to navigate through. As a health app, you can use it as part of your life-changing process by following daily challenges proposed to you but also the badge's rewarding mechanisms to keep you going. One nice functionality that I keep using is the “Breathe” function which helps to relax and calm me down. A few final elements from the specs: A battery life of 30 days is promised. I used it only for 2 weeks so I can not fully endorse it. A water resistance of 165 feet. More than enough for my daily life or not be worried on the beach. A sapphire glass should take care (avoid them) of minor scratches. Sadly, the manufacturer only offers a year guarantee which I found disappointing for such an investment. I love when they trust the quality of their own products. With all that, I recommend this piece of technology that will help you monitor your basic health parameters.

Minimalist smartwatch excellent health monitoring
Usually, I'm not particularly eager to wear jewelry, rings, or watches, but this Withings ScanWatch 2 will be the exception. It is a nice-looking watch, esthetically simple, lightweight, and extremely easy to use. It is a unique, hybrid watch that combines analog and smartwatch features and is packed with many health measurements. To charge the watch, you place it on the charging base by inserting the side with the crown (pin/dial) first and sliding the other end. It clips in and stays attached to the charger. There are no plugs to insert into the watch. The charging base connects with a standard USB-C, which includes one end that is USB-C and the other that is the older USB connection. It does not have a charging block/charger; you must use one from your other devices. The digital OLED display is a decent size and easy to read. Note that it is not a touch screen; everything is controlled by the app or the crown/ dial (push and scroll). I use this watch with an Android device, and the app is straightforward. You can customize the notifications sent from your phone to the watch. The watch will gently vibrate whenever there are notifications. You can customize notifications by turning some on or off or all. I don't particularly appreciate being distracted, so I turn off all notifications, including incoming calls and messages. Also, if you turn off notifications, your battery life on the watch will last longer. You get the actual message as a scrolling display on the watch and an alert (a gentle vibration). There is no option to respond to the notification on the watch. The app gives you a daily report that includes how you slept, your heart rate and is at the moment, post-workout recovery time, and optional menstrual health (a menstrual cycle tracking for a woman's health). The watch includes for free both (1) monitoring your health data and (2) data insights. With the membership of Withings+ (Plus), you get the above and (1) a health improvement score, (2) follow health insights and trends to improve, and (3) an exclusive library of recipes, articles, and workouts. The features I enjoy are the body temperature and ECG sensors, heart rate, and sleep tracking (score). Overall, I am incredibly impressed with the look and the functions to track your health with this Withings ScanWatch 2 hybrid watch.

Looks stunning
Withings I will start my review with the charging port. I appreciate the forethought in this charging port, because my last watch just sat on a magnetic cube, and would often times be knocked off or not be charging. This is not the case you actually have to click in the watch to charge it, which creates a secure mounting. The look of the watch is something I’m absolutely infatuated with. I had Movado watches in the past, and this style reminds me of an elegant Mavado watch. The band not so much but they offer plenty of options to upgrade the look in style. I have a phone that will connect with this watch and I’m able to get emails text messages track my workouts alarms anything you can do with the other techie watches. So far, this is my favorite watch, and I’m pretty loyal to a very popular brand if you know what I mean. Going forward this will be my Watch of choice. The only thing I’m not a fan of is the watch hands will sometimes be in the way of the small viewing screen for my messages emails and what not but other than that i have no complaints. Oh, and the full charge 30 days I am confident that if you don’t use all of your apps to connect to your watch, you will get 30 days I am running about 3+ weeks and I’m using this phone to the full extent

ScanWatch Light vs ScanWatch 2
I could not decide which new Withings ScanWatch to get (Light or 2). I've been using their Body Comp scale for about 6 months. I'm really impressed with it (especially compared to my previous Smart scale (F.....) that just would not stay paired. But I loved that their watches had 6-7 days of battery life. That being said, I have the latest fruit watch, and I have to charge it more than once a day, it's get about 20hrs on a charge. And I've never liked how it looked. When I first saw the Withings original ScanWatch I wanted it. But it was missing the heart rate, and O2 monitoring, and its sleep functionality seemed lacking. These 2 new watches (except for O2) both seemed to fit my requirements. Neither have GPS built in but both can pair with your smartphone to acquire GPS info, which helps reduce battery usage. That and the small round OLED on each watch uses much less power than a full face's display. And call me old (school), but I really want my watch to look like jewelry rather than technology strapped to my arm. Upon unboxing the two the Light has a perfectly flat crystal, and the "2" has a slightly raised convex crystal (made of Gorilla glass or Sapphire crystal, stronger and more scratch resistant than the Light). The "2" is 38mm wide and the Light is 37mm wide (you can't tell the difference). They ship with slightly different chargers, the "2" is expandable and could hold a wider watch, the Light is a fixed width, both can be used on either watch. They are both made of a shiny stainless steel, the "2" having a rounded case, the Light being more squared off. The "2" weighs 54g (1.9oz), the Light weighs 47g (1.7oz). For comparison my fruit watch weighs 69g (2.4oz) and has to be charged every 20h, and supports a 'special' magnetic wireless charger, the ScanWatch has a cradle it can be put into to charge. The ScanWatches both come with an attractive, comfortable silicone band. One issue with both ScanWatches that disappoints, is can you see the the time at night without touching the watch (you put it on your bedside table and turn out the lights), well the "2" has some bioluminescence, if the watch face has had sufficient light hitting it, before you turn out the lights, the watch arms glow for a few hours. The Light lacks this feature, really can't explain why besides their arms are more narrow. If you push the crown the date and time does show up in the OLED display for about 12s. One clever feature that both watches share is, when you push the crown the arms of the watch spread to 10 & 2 so the OLED face is clear of the arms. Are the functions accurate.... I compared the BPM data from the two watches to my fruit watch. The 3 were typically within 2 BPM of each other. The step counters of the two were within 100, after 3000 steps, with the fruit watch in between the two. After exercise, the Light recovered more slowly than the 2 or the fruit. but after 3-5m all were together again. The SpO2 level of the "2" was +/-2 of the reading on the fruit, the averages were essentially identical. The ECG data was also nearly identical, but the graphic presentation (see last image) from the "2" was better to "read" than the fruit's presentation. The body temp data I found very interesting, you again have to use to visualize, but the granularity of the "2" is much better than the fruit, this info is not available from the Light. This was most interesting when exercising, you can easily see how your body temp rises, to a point and then plateaus. And then slowly drops after you stop (as does your HR, but it recovers more quickly). Withings provides you ECG data to a health group: Heartbeat Health (with your permission) were they to see an abnormality (afib) they would apparently contact you. Kind of a cool feature I don't plan to utilize. Both watches offer min/max heart rate notifications, that you can set the thresholds for. The fruit offers only high notifications. Both watches also monitor your respiration rates; Breaths/min it does this at random intervals, but during your sleep it can indicate good/poor/restless sleep. Now my previous f....t smart watch could not monitor my sleep (which is why I stopped using it, it worked fine for my wife). My fruit watch consistently measures my sleep time about 2hrs less than actual, and rarely captures REM sleep,but does see deep sleep. The Withings watches gave me more credit for more Deep or REM sleep, but it lumps the two together, whereas the fruit watch identifies Deep and REM separately (not sure how either is accurately determined). The average Heart Rate is available from both and it is presented in the Withings app much better than in the fruits Health app, which shows the heart rate and an hourly range, where the Withings app shows continuous data. The Withings watches both support notifications tied to your phone. You get caller Id info (name and number) and you can select what other applications you want to get notifications from, you can select other apps like Calendar, Facebook, Gmail, and any other app that you might have installed on your phone. I've not found a way to decline incoming calls, or to force a message to be taken from the watch. Something I can do from my fruit watch. But other than that you can get a full range of notifications displayed on both watches. This is the feature I like/use the most on my smart watch. I rarely if ever pick up a call on my watch, I just want to know who's called or messaged, then I use the phone's bigger screen. Overall I'm very impressed with both watches. The feature I miss the most is the ability to see the time at night in a dark room without touching the watch (maybe add a shake feature that turns the OLED on for 10s). What surprised me the most was the comfort of both watches, the silicon bands have small ridges on the back, this prevents the watch from sliding around on the arm, staying where you put it is huge. With the stock band I spend 1/3 of the day realigning the fruit watch on my arm. I'm sure the lighter weight of the Withings watches helps. The Withings bands are easily detachable, so if you want different colors for different occasions it is easily done, in a few seconds. So it becomes a question of is the ECG, Body temp and SpO2 levels of a great value to you. I'm guessing if you're not an athlete, someone who's doctor has interest in monitoring this data (which can easily be shared with health professionals from within the app). It's a cost issue. I think the flat glass on the Light is more attractive/easier to read, but the scratch resistance of the Gorilla glass on the "2" is a nice feature if you're concerned with scratches (I've not tested the scratch resistance of the two, and don't plan to). I love the appearance of the watches, and would happily trade my fruit watch for either. One other interesting note, when you install more than one watch the Withings app tells you that "you successfully installed an additional tracker. You can switch devices anytime you want, we take care of the rest". It's good to know it also includes Nokia watches, Apple Watch data via the Health App and iPhone sensor data via the Health App. Very well conceived, I can only imagine that their excellent app will continue to improve.

One of the best health connected watches out there
Regarding health monitoring, we can either rely on "afterthought features" on a traditional smartwatch or depend on a watch that is a health monitor first, and the clock is the "afterthought feature." That's where Withings separates itself from other brands. Some have this device with an Apple Watch, Pixel Watch, Samsung watch, or many other traditional smartwatches. If you order this watch expecting it to be close to one, you'll be disappointed (as some of these reviews suggest). Withings has been my favorite health device company I've used. I have their SmartWatch Light as well (for my wife), their Body Scan scale (weight scale), Thermo (digital thermostat), and their Sleep (sleep pad tracker). Every one of these devices carries the quality Withings is known for. These are elite health metric devices; you can trust their consistency trickles down throughout their entire line-up. I also have a Pixel Watch 2 that I use often. That device scratches my traditional smartwatch itch, where I can customize it to fit the style I'm going for, but it needs to be more accurate and thoroughly thought through as the Withings health watches. For one, the battery life on the Withings SmartWatch 2 is unbelievable when compared to any other smart watch out there. There are many reasons, mainly because the SmartWatch 2 is a partial digital watch. It's a hybrid. I can't tell you how nice it is to have a battery listed at 720 hours! Yes, you read that right! That's 30 days of battery life. Very impressive! This device is outstanding as a health monitor. It's not only accurate in its readings, but it's very detailed in them as well. The app associated with the watch (which also connects to the rest of your Withings devices) is one of the most well-thought-out apps I regularly use. Best of all, a subscription is optional in many cases. The Body Scan scale is the only device that benefits the most from a subscription. As far as the watch goes, you do not need a subscription to get full benefits. As a watch, this thing is super classy. I love the look of it compared to my Pixel Watch 2. Yes, I love my Pixel Watch, but the ScanWatch 2 gives me a classier look and escapes from another "smart" screen to scroll through. I love interchanging these two watches. I use this watch when I work out or know I'll be super active. When I'm working, I use the Pixel Watch. I still get notifications on this SmartWatch 2, but again, it's meant to be something other than an extension of your phone like a traditional smart watch is. What I love about this watch is that it's as minimal as you want. You can choose what apps on your phone you want to receive as notifications on your watch. For $350, I'd like to this watch have more customization. When comparing apples to apples with other smartwatches, $350 is not a price that will get many people to purchase (outside of Withings fans).Getting one of these on sale would be a better value for most of us. However, for someone who has a Pixel Watch 2 and this ScanWatch 2, I adore them for different reasons. I stay up on my health metrics, and this watch helps me confidently do that.

Perfect Balance
The Withings ScanWatch 2 is really the perfect balance between a traditional watch and a modern health tracking watch. This is not my first Withings and I can honestly say they just keep making refinements and making watches even better. Many people might not care for wearing a modern computer looking watch. The blend of traditional style and modern function is very well done. Anyone looking at this would think it is a beautifully made traditional watch. The smart watch functions are all here but essentially hidden until you need them. The small screen for the smart functions is easily hidden yet easy to navigate with the crown. When activated, the smart functions are monochrome, not a bunch of bright flashy lights that draw attention. This design most likely has a lot to do with the incredible battery life. Haven’t had it a month yet, but I suspect the estimated 30 day battery life will be pretty close. I particularly like the raise to wake function that brings up the smart screen as you raise the watch to your face. I’ve found it to work much better than previous watches I’ve had with this function. Now a smart watch is only as good as it’s functions. And everything here works exceptionally well. I’ve found everything from the ECG, sleep tracker, breathes and Sp02 to work accurately. The inclusion of the ECG is a big plus for me. If I had one nit-picking issue with this a watch it is that I wish the smart screen were just a bit bigger so as to be able to read it easier. But again, that’s nit-picking. If you are looking for a smart watch but don’t want to look like your wearing something form a James Bond movie, the Withings ScanWatch 2 is an excellent option.

Just keeps going and going and going
The Withings ScanWatch 2 is a beautiful looking watch that is packed with smart features to help give you a base line for your health so it can help you improve it. Fit and Feel: The Withings ScanWatch 2 has a flawless build with no imperfections anywhere. One of the things that I didn’t see from the pictures or even really think about was how the roundedness of the watch gave it a smooth feel at all angles, this make it so much easier to wear in comparison to basically all smart watches. The rotary dial has a great click when pressed and works instantly without any lag. The app is perfectly designed to be helpful and give you all the information you could possibly need. Withings also can share your data across different devices/apps (google fit) to help give you a better picture of your overall health. For someone that is new to smartwatchs the Withings app has a card style layout which provides detailed information on how to better use the product and improve your health, these articles/videos made learning about the watch and its features effortless. Battery Life: This is by far one of the best things about this watch, I have had everything on (heart rate/sleep tracking/temperature/step counting/workout tracking/GPS… etc) and over the course of a week the watch has dropped roughly 2-4% a day. Now given this pace it is possible roughly 3+ weeks without charge and that is absolutely mind blowing for comparison most other smart watches give you at best 5 days. The greyscale portion of the watch allows for such extended battery life and is easily readable in the sun anywhere. Tracking: When it comes to tracking footsteps the ScanWatch 2 does a good job, as with most smart watches steps taken vary 5-10% on the actual amount which is a given since the motion of your arm is used as a way to count the steps. I did notice that the watch wasn’t easily fooled by car trips taken/golf cart/bike rides when calculating step count which was great. The sleep tracking on the ScanWatch 2 is also very nice , I wouldn’t say it’s the best but its definitely better than average. The only spot on the sleep tracking the watch falls a bit behind is when you wake up and try to/go right back to sleep, this isn’t always counted as a awake time. Heart rate tracking was the same as the step counting meaning if varied 5% from the actual numbers I got from other devices. The automatic workout feature worked really well, I was surprised that it picked up exercises which lasted less than 10 minutes. Now the watch was not able to differentiate what the activity was but sensing a workout was happening was impressive. There are many other tracking features (EGC/Blood Oxygen/Sleep Blood Oxygen/Sleep Breathing Disturbances) to give you a picture of your health and provide you with guidance on how to improve your health. Overall: The ScanWatch 2 is a great product that helps give you a great baseline for your overall health.. The ScanWatch 2 is something just keeps on going and going and from the information provided by the company it only gets better the more you use it. This is easily the only smartwatch I have ever found that I could recommend up to this point.
