Withings ScanWatch – Hybrid Smart Watch with ECG, Heart Rate, Oximeter - 30 Day Battery Life - Smart Watches for Women, Smart Watch for Men, Fitness Tracker - Android & iOS,Black,42mm

I started to be interested on Scanwatch since its presentation at CES 2020. After hesitating getting one on early release in Augusto (1000 pieces), I got it a few days ago in normal sales through Amazon, updated to the latest software. In general review. If you like watches, this is the PERFECT tracker. You get a good step and HR monitor which you can wear every day without feeling of having a rubbery tracker or a mobile phone strapped to your wrist. Notifications are off by default and it does its job without being intrusive, with little use of the long lasting battery. The information is clear and simple: steps, floors climbed, distance travelled, heart monitor, always monitored. Then you can start tracking activities, run an ECG or run an Oxygen Saturation monitor. The night sleeping monitor can be improved in my opinion. But it does have some good functionalities like tracking the O2 levels to detect sleep apnea, which to me was quite important as I had some episodes a while ago. Overall, it is a brilliant tracker for watch entusiasts, featuring standard straps, for people that want a battery that lasts more than a day or few days without charging and for people that are interested in proper health monitoring features, maybe due to conditions or general awareness. Brilliant product. Detailed review and useful notes. I have done all the configuration with the app, so I am not sure why some reviewers found that difficult... Open the Health app, add the device and it just works. I tested it on an Android device. The overall watch width for the 42mm version is 50mm. Check your wrist. As a watch entusiast, the recommendation is always to have the watch not exceeding the width of your wrist. If your wrist is narrower, just go for the 38mm and it will look nice and classy. I got a couple of doctor friends that checked the results. The ECG is a bit noisy to their like, but usable and useful, especially if you have a condition to monitor. Remember that for the ECG to work you need to place your other hand on top of the watch. Keep as still as you can to avoid noise from the reading. Together we also checked the O2 measurements and were let down at first by that. Measurements were either "inconclusive" or measuring low saturation levels compared to the finger regular sensor we were trying. We checked then more carefully the instruction, as one of the doctor pointed out about the watch being closed to the wrist bones. It turned out by reading there that the watch has to be places AT LEAST 1cm away from such bones. Also, it has to be fit relatively tight. Not too much, but enough so it doesn't slip on your skin (when trying to rotate it, the skin should follow). Also, you should rest your hand relaxed on a surface, possibly opened. Results were always spot on by just doing that. Check the picture attached to see how I was doing my readings. Small downside notes: the charger is not inductive, it uses 2 contacts that have to be aligned well for it to work and they get out of place if you accidentally touch the watch. Just be aware. Charging time is quick, less than an hour as far as I can tell. The regular HR monitor (with the LEDs) is quite fast and seems relatively reliable. The battery lasts for days and days of wearing it constantly with the standard monitoring running. Battery depletes a bit faster when running ECGs and O2 measures, but not terribly fast. During my tests I noticed because I was running a test after the other, so overall the battery duration is impressive EDIT: the battery is amazing. I tried charging it in full and check it out for a few days. I have been wearing the watch 24/7, went out walking, had quite a few ECG and O2 measurements taken. It has been 17 days now on, the battery still shows 23%... I am amazed. I think I might forget to charge it when it is needed :)

I have to commend Withings on this watch. I love watches and any excuse to buy a new one. Personally, I find the smart watches try too do too much these days and I end up not using it, but this watch has struck a sweet spot that I have not come across with others. The main reason for buying this watch for me was the fact that it uses traditional hands. I do not need to tilt my wrist to read the time and the stronger the sun, the better I can see it because they are REAL hands (hurrah). They even have a small amount of luminous pain on them which is just enough to be able to read them in the dark, but failing that, you can resort to pressing the button and the time will display in the top window. Furthermore, if the window is blocked by any of the hands, it will move the hands out of the way to enable you to have an unobstructed view of the window. Cleverly, it only does this if the hands are in the way. What a wonderful touch. This watch has a very long battery life. The manufacturers have clearly thought about all of the battery draining aspects and designed the watch with this as a key deliverable. For example, there is no second hand and the minute hand moves in one movement every minute rather than sweeping slowly around the face. I also like the step monitor, it is the bottom dial and enables you to see at a glance approximately how many steps you have achieved in the day. Other functions such as sleep, sport and a host of heart and breathing related aspects that are allegedly medical grade are interesting and in a way reassuring, but not intrusive or the main reason I wanted a watch like this. I use a bicycle most days and the set-up is simple. A long press gets it into exercise mode (you can change this if you like), three rotational clicks on the side button and you see a picture of a bike, one more press and it's all set. It links to Strava and takes GPS from the mobile, measuring speed, distance and heart-rate continuously. It certainly did a better job than my previous smart watch which actually surprised me given the visual simplicity. The only thing that I have found rather strange is that there is no way of knowing the precise time in seconds. This certainly doesn't bother me but it might bother others. Honestly, I haven't really done this watch justice. I cannot stress how much I have missed having a proper watch on my arm, it looks and feels fantastic. The other features I think are a bonus, yet they work reliably and the whole watch is extremely well thought out. This is such a good watch, I don't think I can ever justify giving anything else five stars in the future!

I previously have owned Fitbit health watches but I was looking for a change. The Withings Scanwatch gives you most of the features of a smart watch with an analogue watch. I bought the 42mm watch. This watch has a large face and has a digital screen in the upper portion at the 12 o’clock position. The watch is very smart and has a quality feel unlike some smart watches which are plasticky and look cheap. I have had the watch for nearly a month now and tested it against my Fitbit Sence. The heart rate monitor only samples heart rate and does not provide continuous heart rate like the Fitbit. However, when it was selected, I found the heart rate monitor to be quite accurate. The ECG works well and the SPO2 check is useful. Also, you can fit any conventional 20mm watch strap to the watch so there are endless possibilities as far as fashion is concerned. The sleep reporting on the App is okay if not quite as in depth as the Fitbit Sence My only concern is the Step Counter which to me seems inaccurate. I found that the Step Counter didn’t seem to record steps indoors walking around the house as the Fitbit does. This gives you a lower strep count at the end of the day getting to 10000 steps for me seems to take much longer than with the firbit. This can be frustrating if you like checking your step count particularly against others who own fitbit or other smart watches. On the plus side the battery lasts for around 3 weeks which is great. In summery I like the watch as you can just look down and see the time without shacking your wrist etc. But like all smart watches it has its limitations.

I had never heard of Withings until a few weeks ago when I was looking for a smartwatch again. I read about them on tech press articles and was impressed with the alleged capabilities, but more so with the design and look. I have had fitbits an other generic smart bands in the past and the wife has a Fitibit Versa 2. The thing about them all is that they look like fitness trackers and not like a traditional watch. This is where the Withings convinced me to give it a go. Another attractive feature for me was the alleged length between charges. I found it extremely easy to set up and start using. It came with quite a lot of charge already, but I charged it fully to check the claims. I use it for a bit of fitness tracking, sleep tracking and -don't faint- telling the time! I have the all black version and the hands are easy to see most of the time and you only have to press the button during darkness for the digital display to assist. I like that it doesn't make me feel self-conscious about wearing a fitness tracker as it really does look just like a normal watch. It is stylish enough as it is, but you can change the strap for any other normal watch strap if you like. I use the ECG and Blood Oxygen tester from time to time and occasionally I use it to track a fitness session, but I have a proper chest strap monitor for that normally. I don't count my steps often, but the little second face is quite handy as a reminder to move about a bit more on lazy days. 2 things it doesn't do well are recognising you have woken up and are moving around. It still counts this as 'light sleep' in the mornings until you actually get out of bed. The Fitbit seems to be much better at recognising this. The other thing is that the hear rate monitor 'over-reads' as in my chest strap gives a more accurate reading and the Withings is always a few beats higher. I don't use notifications option on the watch as I'm at an age where I would need to get my reading glasses out to see the display properly - not a watch fault here, just an age thing! I also prefer to look at message on my phone anyway. All in all that battery charge went down to 2% after 34 days! i would have had to charge my Fitbit 8-10 times in that same period. 2 hours later the Withings was fully charged again. If you want a smartwatch that actually looks like a watch and has some pretty cool features then buy this.

Great watch, looks fantastic and the sapphire glass is a great touch and makes it much clearer than run of the mill mineral glass. The setup was easy and the app is great for connecting with google fit and strava. The strap size is 20mm so is very easy find replacements if you want a change of look. The tracking data is the best ive seen from a watch, including various fitbits smart watches including the Samsung Galaxy Watch. The step dial is handy as it is a good indicator of how active you have been at a glance. Scrolling through the menu is simple, ive actually used the timer and stopwatch function too which i never do even on a standard digital watch! Although it is predominantly an analogue watch without a touch screen, it is very easy to find and start a workout and read the data, i prefer this to the all singing and dancing smart watches where half the features i dont use once the novelty has warn off. The sleep monitoring is brilliant and the sleep apnea and afib detection is great. The automatic workout detection works as much as is expected, it isnt infallable but does a good job. If it gets it wrong you can always change what it thinks it has detected later in the app anyway so it isnt a big deal. If you want a great looking, well built, no-nonsense timepiece with health tracking abilities that just works, this is for you.

The Respiratory Scan function doesn't turn off. The watch is supposed to performed this function the first night I wore it, but then long after I woke up I realised that the battery had gone from 100% to 60% in less than 24 hours. This battery-intensives feature hadn't turned itself off, so it was constantly scanning. I couldn't get it to turn off until I'd done a compete factory reset. This renders it completely useless. The sleep tracker itself is abysmal. I've had various smart wearables in my time, ranging from cheap fitness bands to expensive watches, and the sleep tracking on this is by far the worst I've seen. If I'm sitting at my desk working (which is, you know, only every single day) it thinks I'm still sleeping, so it will add waking hours onto the sleeping hours. It does this with any extended period of sitting; watching a film, working at a desk - basically anything that requires you to be stationary for more than 10 minutes. Again, this is absolutely useless. The heart rate tracker seems to be accurate at least, and the ECG feature is pretty unique. However, rather than giving you your resting heart rate (which would actually be useful), the app provides you with an average. Your average heart rate includes sleep and physical activity, as well as rest, making the number (you guessed it!) absolutely useless. Not only that, but I'm not sure what it's even averaging here. A day in the office saw my HR go up to 70 bpm once - the rest of the time it's between 58 and 65. The graph on the app actually confirms this, but then it gave me an average of 73. How? Anyway, the watch looks fine and it's straight-forward enough to use, but the smartwatch elements are some of the worst I've ever encountered and the info in the app is absolutely useless. For £270 worth of wearable, you can do a LOT better for smart functionality, or just get a regular old watch much cheaper, as that's all this is good for.

I managed to get my hand on a Scanwatch here in the UK to replace my Garmin Vivosmart 4. I do some running and walking but I dont need all the features I had on my Garmin Fenix 6. I really like the Vivosmart 4 as its a slim band but I miss the option to have a analog watch face. So I thought let me jump on this Scanwatch. I did my research as I usually do and bought it. No this is not to shoot the watch down and this is just my feedback and what did not cut it for me. Its feedback and might help someone else if they looking to buy this watch. I am going to start with the bits that was not so good for me. - The first thing was the reflection on the watch face. This was from the first day my biggest gripe. I specifically looked at this watch because I did not want to turn my wrist a certain way to make the screen come on so I can see the time. Its something that should not happen. Well it does not happen to any of my other analog watches. - The first problem is then tied to the second. For a screen that reflects on a watch where its main function is to tell the time comes the price. Its a bit much for a watch where you cannot see the time at any time of the day. I did find that the hour and minute hands are very thin and did not have enough luminous to make it readable at night or low light. - Third was the app, my word, I have an iphone 12 with the latest iOS and the latest version of the app and when I went through the setup every time the watch would sync after that it would ask me again to go through setting up the notifications or learn about the app and watch. Massive fail for me. My Garmin just works and its only £70 and I have not had any problems like this with the app. Yes sometimes it disconnects from bluetooth but easy to fix again. I also see allot of other people has this problem. I did remove, rebooted and reinstalled the app. I also factory reset the watch and tried that again but no luck. - The fourth problem was AFIB alerts, in the two weeks I had the watch I received 4. Three of them where at the same time in the mornings. 9:03 when I sit down behind my desktop and work my mouse. All 3 at exactly the same time. This make you worry in a world where you dont really want to have to worry more that necessary. Then I read a few other people are also getting the same. It sounds like its something to do with static from the mouse or desktop. Weird and people suggest to wear the watch on the other arm. But I dont really like to change where I wear my watch because the tech does not work. Now for the good parts - Its well built watch and man if the above was not there I would recommend this to allot of people. Solid, sleek, good looking and is not too heavy and not too light. - The battery life is out of this world if you come from an Apple watch, Garmin Fenix 6, Garmin Vivosmart 4 or any other smart type watch. This was also the one headline that wanted me to try this watch. I dont need all the alerts or fancy backgrounds. I was looking for a watch that I can swim with and wear as I normally do but it does have all the stats I was looking for. - The app when it does not show up with the recurring setup. Its got a nice layout and I like it. Good information and easy to navigate. So the watch went back and I am now looking for my next analog/smart watch. The Garmin Vivomove style is looking like it needs a try. Well guys I hope this helps someone and good luck with your watch.

Athetics: I like the look of this watch. I went with the black face. The watch is a perfect size (42) for my (male) wrist. I wish it had a second hand but it's not a deal breaker. Features: The step count and up/down floor counter seems good. Distance tracking for indoor running seems off. My treadmill shows 6.2km but the watch says 9+km. Heart rate seems accurate (for me, seen others stating it shows double but I haven't had this issue). ECG, seems accurate but I wouldn't really know how to confirm/deny this. I have no other way to measure my ECG. SPO2 seems accurate and I do have a second device that clips onto my finger to compare against. Indoor running when viewed in the app shows a nice tracking graph of my heart rate. Battery Life: I get 2 weeks before I'm down to 20% Accessories: I have 2x additional watch straps/bands. One is an elasticated black and silver band which is my daily driver and is very comfy. I use this during sleeping and running and is perfect. The other band is a black and silver metal strap which looks great for when I want to go out suited and booted. Love the quick release mechanism for switching the straps. I also have the top tier withings weight scales and like the app consolidates the metrics. They work very well together.

Ottimo dispositivo per quanto riguarda il monitoraggio della salute. Ovviamente non è a livello di altri smartwatch magari più evoluti per l'allenamento, ma in compenso offre un ecg abbastanza affidabile e una linea più classica. Batteria ottima, circa un 3-4% al giorno con un paio di ecg, una misurazione spo2 e tutte le notifiche, oltre al monitoraggio della respirazione nel sonno su automatico. La vibrazione per le notifiche si percepisce perfettamente (vengo da un huawei watch gt dove era meno forte). L'unica attenzione da porre è che l'app deve rimanere attiva in background altrimenti il risparmio energetico del telefono tende a chiuderla e non vi arriveranno le notifiche. Il telefono non consuma maggiore batteria, o almeno non in modo percettibile. L'unica nota leggermente negativa è la misurazione del sonno, ma anche sul precedente orologio era poco precisa. Se si rimane sdraiati a letto da svegli, continua a percepire sonno, soprattutto se i battiti rimangono regolari e bassi. Ottimo prodotto che mi sento di consigliare. Il prezzo non è basso, ma confrontato a quelli che permettono di fare ecg e controlli sulla salute vari, risulta quasi "economico".

El sentimiento de no tener que cargar todos lo días es muy raro y bien recibido. Tiene las mismas características que uno smartwatch de última generación (ECG, sleep track, saturación de oxígeno) pero sin ser invasivo y de forma minimalista, lo que te ayuda a desconectarte un poco de la cadena que se ha vuelto un smartphone y una el diseño (pasa por completo desapercibido por Smart) es muy casual para combinar fácilmente con cualquier estilo. En los contras a veces tiene problemas con las notificaciones, pero he escuchado que ha mejorado bastante y no dudo que siga mejorando. Las manecillas en un par d ocasiones se dejaron de sincronizar, pero consultando la app del reloj se arregló en automatico sin problema. No veo el razón para no confiar que todos estos detalles se arreglaran en updates de firmware. ¡Muy recomendable!

Precis vad jag behövde. kan se mina sömnapne problem och mitt EKG. Fungerade helt enligt specifikationerna, jättebra produkt, rekommenderar den starkt. Fick dock byta ut den första utan kostnad även efter att garantiperioden hade gått ut på Amazon. Mekaniska visarna hade plötsligt börja vis fel tid.

Update nach einem halben Jahr ununterbrochener Nutzung (24 / 7): Das für mich wichtigste zuerst: Die Uhr nervt nicht! Sie tut in aller Ruhe zuverlässig ihren Dienst und sieht dabei gut aus. Wie eine Uhr halt aussehen sollte. Die Verbindung zum Smartphone ist stabil. Den Akku lade ich alle 14 Tage auf, Restladung liegt dann üblicherweise noch bei über 40 Prozent. Die Akkulaufzeit ist überzeugend, da ich Notifications intensiv nutze, auch die Sauerstoffsättigung im Schlaf, die eine oder andere sportliche Aktivität wird aufgezeichnet. Daher: Stabilität und Akku sehr gut Zu der Genauigkeit der diversen Messungen kann ich wenig sagen, da mich dieses Thema mäßig interessiert. Die bisher ermittelten Werte schienen mir grds. plausibel, das reicht mir völlig. Meine Anforderungen an eine Smartwatch sind: Zuverlässig die Zeit anzeigen, zuverlässig Benachrichtigungen signalisieren, ein business-taugliches Erscheinungsbild und - ganz wichtig - ansonsten nicht unangenehm auffallen durch Fehlfunktionen oder sonstigen Mumpitz. Erfüllt die Scanwatch gemessen an meinen Ansprüchen in sehr guter Weise. Ändere daher meine Wertung auf 5 Sterne! ===== Ein erstes Fazit vorneweg: Momentan (nach eine knappen Woche im Gebrauch) bin ich sehr zufrieden mit meiner Scanwatch! Bestellt hatte ich die 42mm-Version in Schwarz, wegen der Leuchtzeiger. Gekoppelt mit einem schon etwas betagten aber noch tadellos funktionierendem Sony Xperia XZ auf Android 8.0. Ich schreibe das hier, weil ich den Eindruck gewonnen habe (aufgrund einiger Rezensionen hier sowie im Withings-Forum), dass Smartphone und OS-Version sich auf die Leistung der Uhr auswirken können.... Aber von Beginn an: Die Uhr macht einen sehr wertigen Eindruck und sieht einfach aus wie eine Uhr aussehen sollte. Schlichte Eleganz! Ein bisschen stürmisch war dagegen das technische Kennenlernen. Die App hilft sehr gut und Schritt für Schritt durch den Kopplungsprozess, und eigentlich sollte alles ganz einfach sein, aber: Die Kopplung mit dem Smartphone wurde hartnäckig verweigert, weil die Health-Mate-App die von der Uhr angezeigte sechsstellige PIN partout nicht akzeptieren wollte. Geholfen hat: Krone lange drücken und so einen Reset auf Werkseinstellungen erzwingen. Danach klappte die Kopplung sofort. Na gut.... Dann das nächste Elend: Bisher hatte ich mein Smartphone immer so eingestellt, dass Nachrichten stumm signalisiert werden, sobald eine Smartwatch gekoppelt und verbunden ist. Das ist der eigentliche Sinn eines solchen Wearables für mich, dass das Smartphone in Sakko oder Aktentasche stecken bleiben kann und ich wichtige Nachrichten leise und diskret am Handgelenk empfange. Hier funktionierte erstmal gar nichts! Test-Anfrufe oder Nachrichten, die Uhr zeigte nichts an und blieb stumm. (Für die ganz Schlauen: Die erforderlichen Rechte hatte ich selbstverständlich gewährt...) Die FAQs der Withings-Seite brachten mich dann zu des Rätsels Lösung: Das Handy nicht auf "ganz stumm" stellen, weil dann (evtl. ist das vom Handy / Fabrikat abhängig?) die Nachrichten nicht an die Uhr übermittelt werden. Ich hatte schon so einige Smartwatches im Einsatz, aber sowas habe ich bisher noch nicht erlebt! Ich habe das Problem dann für mich so gelöst, dass ich am Handy ein kleines feines "Pling" als Benachrichtungston eingestellt habe. Kaum zu hören und sorgt dafür, dass die Nachrichten auf die Uhr gespiegelt werden. Und das funktioniert bisher sehr zuverlässig! Das Phänomen mit den "doppelten Menüeinträgen" hatte ich auch schon zweimal. Interessanterweise hat sich das nach jeweils einem Tag selbst behoben. Ich vermute die Ursache irgendwo in der Smartphone-App. Für die "Selbstoptimierer": Schrittzählen, Aktivitäten tracken, EKG, Blutsauerstoff-Messung, Schlaf-Überwachung inkl. Messung evtl. Apnoe-Episoden usw.... all das scheint sehr gut zu funktionieren. Wecker, Timer, Stoppuhr ebenso. Steht für mich nicht im Fokus, ist aber nett und wirkt technisch ausgereift / medizinisch erprobt. Hier hat Withings offenbar seine Kernkompetenz Erweitertes Fazit: Tolle Uhr mit einigen nervigen Kinderkrankheiten, von der ich hoffe, dass sie per Software-Updates noch besser und zuverlässiger gemacht wird. Dann gibt es auch die volle Punktzahl bzw. 5 Sterne! Es gibt da einige unrühmliche Beispiele von Wettbewerbern, die exakt das Gegenteil geschafft und ihr eigenes Produkt "zu Tode gepatcht" haben. Hoffentlich legt Withings hier Wert auf eine saubere Versions-QS. Grundsätzlich sehe ich die Zunahme von "Bananenprodukten" ("reifen beim Kunden") kritisch, aber das lässt sich wohl heute bei der Vielfalt der miteinander koppelbaren Geräte und ihrer Eigenheiten nicht vollständig vermeiden... Wir werden sehen wie es weitergeht, ich werde berichten.... ;-)

All good
