Withings unveils the Scanwatch Nova Brilliant Edition

Withings, a global leader in connected health devices,
unveils the ScanWatch Nova Brilliant Edition, its latest offering merging timeless design with the precision of
medical-grade technology. Available for purchase in November 2024, in time for the holiday season,
ScanWatch Nova Brilliant is the most spectacularly designed smartwatch Withings has ever made. The
expanded line comes in titanium silver and stunning bicolor silver and gold, adding to the color choices
of the current ScanWatch Nova lineup, and is available in a smaller size for daintier wrists thanks to a
39mm case.


At first glance, ScanWatch Nova Brilliant Edition is a testament to elegance. Its sleek, minimalistic design
is highlighted by a fluted bezel that exudes sophistication, paired with an ultra-durable box-shaped
sapphire glass face. This smartwatch combines durability with elegance. Water-resistant up to 50 meters
(5ATM) and featuring a 5-link bracelet, it’s designed to keep up with your active lifestyle.

This hybrid smartwatch has an analog-style design and provides essential heart tracking features, notifications, messages, and information through its high-resolution OLED screen. It is available in luxurious gold and refined silver finishes, making it a versatile accessory for any occasion. The silver model features a bezel made of titanium for durability, while the gold model comes with a unique bicolor wristband. Beyond its attractive appearance, the ScanWatch Nova Brilliant Edition also houses advanced health sensors capable of performing powerful health scans, including a medical-grade electrocardiogram (ECG) for detecting atrial fibrillation. With a phenomenal 30-day battery life and leveraging the advanced health sensors and tracking
capabilities of the acclaimed Withings ScanWatch 2, its medical insights and measurements include:

  • On-Demand Medical-Grade ECG: ScanWatch Nova Brilliant Edition performs an on-demand medical-grade electrocardiogram to detect a potential heart anomaly at any time such as atrial fibrillation which is one of the most prevalent forms of arrhythmias, characterized by irregular heart rhythms. In just 30 seconds, users can initiate an ECG reading by touching the bezel, with results available instantly on the Withings app. Since 2020, more than 2 million episodes of AFib have been detected using Withings devices.
  • May indicate the onset of an illness: ScanWatch Nova Brilliant tracks body temperature fluctuations day and night, potentially indicating the onset of an illness and boosting your ability to manage performance and workout recovery. This technology combines heat flux sensors with high-accuracy temperature sensors to provide top-tier temperature variation assessments.
  • Assess part of the respiratory system: Users can track their blood oxygen levels (SpO2) and monitor overnight breathing disturbances. Good blood oxygenation is necessary to supply the energy the muscles need to function, and it increases during sports activities.
  • Help achieve more restful sleep: Wake up to a Sleep Quality Score and detailed insights into sleep metrics, including phases, depth, duration, and interruptions, along with personalized improvement advice.
  • Boost your activity with advanced tracking: ScanWatch Nova Brilliant Edition can track parameters such as steps, calories, elevation, workout routes (via in-app connected GPS) and can automatically recognize more than 40 daily activities such as walking, running, swimming, and cycling. In addition, it offers Fitness Level assessments through estimation of VO2 Max, which measures the heart and muscle’s ability to convert oxygen into energy during physical exercise.

Xiaomi Watch s1 Active Review

The S1 Active is a lighter smartwatch than the vanilla Xiaomi Watch, with a slightly more durable and sporty build. Although it’s not sold in any major retail stores, and Xiaomi Pay is still not available in the U.S. – it’s just as assessable as more readily available smartwatches on the market.

Withings Scanwatch Review

Withings have finally received FDA clearance to release their hybrid fitness wearable – the Scanwatch, in the U.S. While this wearable isn’t exactly new, features like EKG, 24hr heart rate tracking, and 30-day battery life, make it one of the most advanced watches on the market. Here we take a deep dive to see if the Scanwatch is worth your time and money.

If the photos don’t show the premium finish of this hybrid watch, rest assured the quality is upper echelon. Withings Scanwatch is made of Stainless Steel including the back where the sensors are housed – with Sapphire glass covering the watch face, which comes with a black or white dial. Our review unit, which was provided by Withings – had the white dial.

The Scanwatch has a circular OLED screen right below the 12, that shows the time, BPM, steps, distance walked by the mile, floors, EKG, sp02, Workout and Breathe for wellness, providing details which you can view with a press and twist of the watches’ crown. While those quick views contain a ton of info, it’s the Withings Health Mate app that gives you detailed stats on your fitness.

The Health Mate app goes a long way in adding smart health tracking and wellness features to the Scanwatch, complementing its hybrid nature by handling the heavy lifting most other watches handle on the device – at the expense of battery life. Not to mention its awesome UI and deep integration with other platforms like Apple Health, Google Fit, and Samsung Health.

Conclusion

Touting all the fitness tracking features the latest smartwatches on the market have to offer – without the intrusive, geek-Esque appeal – the Scanwatch is easily one of the best fitness wearables on the market. It has impressive 30-day battery life (I got two weeks before the watch drained the battery to 60%), the high-end build of a Swiss timepiece, and enough sensors to stay in the cutting-edge for the next few years. The Scanwatch is the watch for those who like the classic look, but want all the latest health perks a fitness tracker has to offer.
