I’ve loved Withings’ hybrid watches, which put all the health tech you need into an analog watch body, for more than a decade. The ScanWatch Nova crams the ScanWatch 2’s hardware into a diver’s watch body and looks far more luxurious than it actually costs. And, of course, it’s got all the fancy health and fitness equipment you might be interested in buying for a beloved adult.
Buried inside that case is a built-in ECG, heart rate and oximeter, as well as a temperature sensor. You’ll get sleep monitoring, automatic activity tracking and access to the best in class Withings Health app. But for me, the most compelling feature is the 30-day battery life, which will give you, uh, 29 and a half more days of life on a single charge than the comparable Apple Watch.
Actually, the most compelling feature is the analog subdial that’ll keep track of your step count set to whatever target suits you. If it’s getting late in the day and you want to make sure you’ve got your 10,000 steps in, that information is right there. So, it’s useful, practical, stylish and will outperform plenty of other smartwatches on the market — any questions? — D.C.
