I love Withings’ hybrid watches, which put all the health tech you’ve needed for more than a decade into an analog watch body. The ScanWatch Nova stuffs the ScanWatch 2’s hardware into a diver’s watch body and actually looks a lot more luxurious than it costs. And, of course, it has all the fancy health and fitness equipment you might be interested in purchasing for a beloved adult.
Hidden 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 Withings Health app. But for me, the most compelling feature is the 30-day battery life, which will give you 29 and a half days more on a single charge than a comparable Apple Watch.
In fact, the most compelling feature is the analog subdial that will keep track of your step count set to whatever goal suits you. If it’s late in the day and you want to make sure you’ve walked 10,000 steps, that information is right here. So, it’s useful, practical, stylish and will outperform other smartwatches available in the market – any questions? – Daniel Cooper, Senior Reporter
