Withings - ScanWatch Light

I have a withings scanligth and love it because it looks like a regular watch.

The step tracking is fine. The sleep tracking is terrible.

The scan watches seem to do all they claim - I don't use most of them - but I wouldn't be buying another one, because the integrated battery cannot be replaced. It's advertised to take 500 charge cycles - which is all well and good but that's an almost meaningless metric - the charge capacity of the battery will very likely be a great deal less long before 500 cycles - like mine which gradually expired over 6 months outside the 2 year warrantee - the watch was still immaculate - but junk.

i tested it for 2 days and i concur

I have both. And I’d say, if you have an iPhone absolutely nothing compares to the Apple Watch with apple health for features. But you’ll have to charge it every day. On the flip side the scanwatch looks more ‘grown up’ and like a nice quality watch. And the battery lasts much longer, probably 2 weeks min for me. (With notifications and stuff) Both will record what you need. but I think if you go for an Apple Watch you would appreciate all the extra functions you get if you use it with an iPhone, like Apple Pay, Apple Watch music, make calls, all the additional apps and customisable watch faces etc. Hope that’s helpful

Yeah that’s why I got one too, to also have a watch that had actual hands! Plus I recently had heart surgery so I still wanted something with hr monitoring etc! I think the scanwatch is a great watch and it’s nice to have something more formal looking for work!

The scanwatch is a great option if that’s what you’re looking for!

I must say even though I like my Apple Watch I really am also very fond of my scanwatch! They’re great watches

I find my scanwatch report hr and exercise pretty much in line with my Apple Watch tbh no noticeable differences when I switch them up. I always get a comment about my scanwatch people saying it looks nice as well which is nice! I really like both of them lol

I've used a Scanwatch for three years and wouldn't recommend it for sleep tracking. It doesn't recognize biphasic sleep patterns and is inconsistent with daytime naps.

Been using Withings Scanwatch for 3-4 years. Battery still lasts around 20-25 days and what I like the most, it looks like a watch. Heart rate and SPo2 are measured properly based on comparing the monitors at the hospital few years ago. This older version also has ECG, sleep tracker with breathe monitoring and sports tracker. It can show incoming calls and show notifications but that's it for those functions. When I had proper smart watch, I disabled all the notifications after few weeks as I do not like get distracted 😅

I have a Scanwatch and an Apple watch. I wear my Apple watch only when I am running. My scanwatch is always on my wrist. I love the looks and the battery life. It tracks my heart rate, sleep, and activity frequency and I get notifications. Apple watch doesn't look nice as a watch and the necessity to charge it every day is a big disadvantage.

Withings Scanwatch. Don't like too much the full blown smart watches with touch screens. Also 3 week battery life.

The scanwatch is very good. the 30 days of battery life depends on a lot of things depending on what you have activated. The documentation on their site is very clear. It’s the most beautiful hybrid connected health watch! It takes heart rate very well for health during the day (every 10 minutes) while walking or at night. But for sport it's less good, it's better to turn to another brand which is more sporty. The step counter is precise as well as the floors mounted. The Ecg and oxygen have been clinically validated. Notifications are limited but it's a health watch. Personally I just have notifications for treatments, reminders and calendar. A lot of people complain about this but in general it's always like that in reviews. So yes it has bugs at times, it's a shame that functions are announced but take a lot of time to come out. Which manufacturer has no problem Call, google microsoft everyone frankly every 2 months releases products which at times are buggy. My scanwatch nova lasts 3 weeks of autonomy and I recharge it while it is at 20%. I wear it every day but I don't sleep with it. I take an ECG and oxygen once a week. I start walking or hiking exercises and the frequency is always good. On the other hand, I do crossfit with a call watch because the screen displays more information, the heart rate is very precise and the GPS is included unlike the scanwatch which requires the phone.

the scanwatch is the only one to detect paradoxical sleep and naps. The sleep score of the Appel watch is ridiculous compared to withings.
