Withings Scanwatch
Smartwatches are fantastic and provide a wealth of useful features, but nothing beats the simplicity and classic appearance of an analog watch. If you prefer a simple-looking watch over one with flashy features, you might want to consider purchasing a hybrid smartwatch. For those who are unfamiliar, hybrid smartwatches resemble traditional watches while providing smartwatch functionality.
There are plenty of hybrid smartwatches on the market right now, but the Withings Scanwatch is one of them. As you can see, the Withings Scanwatch has a stunning design and excellent build quality. Its stainless steel case and minimalist design exude quality in a way that many modern smartwatches do not. This watch also has a sapphire glass display, which means it won't scratch or crack easily. It is available in 38mm and 42mm sizes, with the only difference being the size.
The Withings Scanwatch has a PMOLED monochrome display that displays notifications as well as real-time ECG readings. Keep in mind that the rest of the smartwatch is unapologetically classic. To compensate for the lack of touchscreen controls, there is a digital crown on the side. This isn't necessarily a deal breaker for this watch because it isn't a full-fledged smartwatch capable of interacting with notifications or running apps.
The Scanwatch's built-in electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor is one of its most notable features. The watch notifies you if your heart rate is consistently high or low, in addition to taking periodic scans for irregular heartbeats. The recorded ECG readings can also be shared with a doctor as a PDF for medical records. Notably, the Scanwatch includes a medical-grade pulse oximeter for determining oxygen saturation levels. (SpO2). The pulse oximeter can also be used by the watch to detect breathing disturbances while you sleep.
The Withings companion app, which is available for both iOS and Android, is jam-packed with useful features. The Scanwatch can also track over 30 sports activities and even supports auto-tracking for walking, running, swimming, biking, and other activities. The companion app contains all of the necessary information. The company claims that the Scanwatch has a battery life of 30 days, which is quite impressive. There are few smartwatches on the market that can last up to 30 days on a single charge. Even if it doesn't reach the advertised 30 days of battery life, it will still outlast many other options on the market.
