Withings - ScanWatch 2

It's apples and oranges. I've had the Apple Watch for close to 8 years before switching to the ScanWatch 2 : yeah, there is more features on the Apple Watch but it's mostly for things I don't use (music, calls, texting, Siri). I burnedout of all this and just chose a watch that would still quantify things for me without the constant pings. And, of course, the battery life is night and day but you don't need me saying it. I don't run to the charger anymore, I don't dread long exercices because the watch wouldn't finish them. The only thing I miss a bit is the GPS : You have to have your phone awake for the location to register, you can't go run without it. Which, I wouldn't do, but I know some people like that.

Not a chance. Withings' last update completely broke mine and what is worse is they have zero customer service.

Omgosh I wish I could send you mine. I have a scan light 2 and love it but I’m allergic to the face and am upset that it’s not working for me.

I do, since it fits my needs perfectly. It has been a very solid, reliable watch that doesn’t overwhelm me with information or features. The battery lasts way longer than any smartwatch. The only watch with “smart-ish” functionalities that allows regular watch bands so I’m not dumping hundreds of dollars on lower quality proprietary bands. My experience with their support has been majorly positive.

I love it. Great battery life. ECG, HR, SPO2, Sleep and workout tracking. It's not perfect and neither is Withings but the company has the right vision and a great ecosystem. They were also recently awarded a €20.7 million grant (about $22.5 million USD) from the French govt to further develop their AI and ecosystem. I actually look forward to seeing where they're going to be at in 10 years. I can recommend it. I actually liked it more than I thought I would.

I'm not an Apple guy and I love my Scanwatch 2 but this strikes me as solid advice.

Same happening with me. Gave up and returned back to Apple Watch

It depends on your needs. The battery doesn't last the advertised 30 days, at least not with the features I want activated, but it still lasts around 2 weeks which is way more than anything else in the market. The fitness tracking isn't as good as other brands from the reviews I read but they're good enough for my needs (occasional light jogging). The screen is kind of too small for notifications but it's passable to know with a glance if it's worth taking the phone or off your pocket. The software is so-so. Not great but I rarely interact with it save for managing alarms and tracking workouts. In my opinion it's the best looking smart watch by far. I've gotten a lot of comments on it over the years, all positive.

Step counting is rather conservative (my experience vs Apple Watch), and sleep tracking does not differ between deep sleep and REM. Even with these limitations, I really love it for its battery life and design.

I have one, I like it, I recommend it, but I don’t trust it. Maybe my skinny wrists and dark skin throw it off. I’ve cross checked heart rate against fitness machines and an O2 Ring and it seems to lag and be way off during a workout but yet the overall answer is close enough to the other devices. So if you’re trying to do cardio at 135 beats per minute it seems inaccurate but if you’re ok with overall workout stats it seems ok. The sleep score is also odd. It seems to want a 50/50 deep and normal sleep even though the web claim 90-120 minutes is all you need. Tldr - i recommend it for casual use.

Yes, I love it. Battery life from 25-30 days 🤗
