Withings ScanWatch now brings more diversity to the smartwatches market which is being captured by Apple, Fitbit, Garmin, and some other major players who don’t let other innovators pass through. As each year they release their flagship product which will feature some of the major health metrics which can’t be coupe by competitions. Withings has now launched its own Hybrid Smartwatch Withings ScanWatch.
Withings ScanWatch Changes Trend of Hybrid Smartwatch
However Withings tries to capture bit which is left by Apple, Fitbit or Garmin, but however Withings tries to compete in this market as the French health tech company release an ECG-equipped watch last year, tries to beat with the new ScanWatch looks like the most complete on-wrist health package yet. In CES 2020 Withings release their ScanWatch smartwatch which is a modular smartwatch as it looks and feel like an ordinary smartwatch but also tracks users’ health metrics. Garmin last also tries to copy this design with the introduction of their Vivomove Luxe, as this approach of making hybrid smartwatch help to save one of the major aspects of Watches “its dial”.
The Withings ScanWatch also features one-lead electrocardiogram for checking for arrhythmia, but has PPG (optical heart rate readings) and can engage in continuous monitoring for possible atrial fibrillation, it must sound like Apple Watch. ScanWatch also tracks SpO2 for blood oxygen levels. And one of the most important features of this watch is sleep tracking along with correct phase recognition of sleep this help user to understand their sleep more authentic way and the watch can also track sleep apnea. This tracking of sleep apnea is yet not available on any smartwatches yet.
While there is no FDA approval about the authenticity of sleep apnea tracking, but Withings PR claims that their results are “clinically validated”.
Withings help ordinary watch fan to be craze over hybrid smartwatch as many as the also tries to maintain the essence of the watch and bring modularity. While the design of ScanWatch looks like the previous iteration of Withings watches, with a stainless steel case, sapphire crystal dome, real analog watch hands and also an OLED display for notifications and fitness details.
The major concern among the smartwatch user is the battery life but Withings crosses all the barriers and promised 30-day battery life, which is far beyond their competitors.
Withings will start selling this device from now onwards at price for €249/£229/$249 (38mm) and or €299/£279/$299 (42mm). It might look more interesting how these smartwatches compete with other competitors in the real-life scenarios.
