WithingsScanWatch 2 - Hybrid Smart Watch, Heart Rate Monitoring, Fitness Tracker, Cycle Tracker, Sleep Monitoring, GPS Tracker, 30-Day Battery Life, Android & Apple Compatible, HSA/FSA

Super glad that I purchased this device. Having AFib and asthma, and needing to lose some weight, I want something to monitor my key heart health stats during work outs. As a health monitoring instrument, nothing outside of a doctor’s office beats the ScanWatch 2. The Apple Watch comes close (at more than twice the price) but cannot measure blood oxygen as this can.I researched a lot of devices and this has everything I needed. It measures pulse and heart rhythm plus SpO2. It detects irregular heart rhythms and irregular respiration during sleep. It has step counting, workout monitoring, gps tracking, and easy compatibility with iPhones. Plus the battery lasts for two weeks or more. All of that in a sleek watch face is a modern miracle.It also offers some smartwatch features that I don’t care about like notifications of phone calls and texts. The app that accompanies this watch is essential and quite well configured.I wish that Withings would drop the analog watch face and offer this with a full face digital screen. As it is, the digital screen is a tiny inset at the top of the face. At the bottom of the face is another small inset “activity dial” which is utterly useless.Setting aside that minor complaint, this device is one of those rarities that does its job very well and looks decent at the same time. Highly recommended.

First off, the build quality is excellent. The battery life, after the first couple of recharges, is very good, the readability is crystal clear, and it looks to be very clean, modern, and NOT like a smartwatch!As for the tracking capabilities, for the exercise, or for health, are a bit mixed. The health tracking, such as for sleep, blood, oxygen levels, EKG, or any of the other aspects is excellent. The app itself is very well designed, as a lot of good tutorials for the device and is easy to understand and follow. It also has a lot of health tracking recommendations, exercise recommendations, and beats the Fitbit app in multiple areas.Where the device could use some improvement, would be with GPS tracking for outdoor activities, and a higher selection of activities to select from.

I love the look of the traditional watch and its ability to track my health data. Part of my overall health kick is to get less involved with my phone, so it's nice to be able to look at the time or start an exercise without being distracted by other things. It's hard to express just how perfect this is. I choose to get call notifications, but I turn off general notifications. All communication between the phone and watch is one-way, so no responding, music controls, etc.The step tracking, heart rate, and Sp02 seem right on. It lasts for about 2 to 3 weeks for me, which is great because I wear it all the time and so have my sleep tracking (including level, heart rate, and SpO2) and 24-hour hear tracking. I use the EKG once a week or and it seems to work well, but I'm not sure of its value other than occasionally. Temperature is included as a "delta" from the average value and it's interesting to see the differences when exercising or sleeping.I think it claims 30 days, which I'm not getting, and which is the main reason for 4 stars. I don't think I'm doing anything excessive, although I do track hear rate and I use the workout feature (stationary bicycling) about 3 hours a week. It also doesn't have it's own GPS, so if you want to track an outdoor walking or biking workout, you need to bring your phone. It uses the phone's GPS, which seems well integrated once you have the location sharing settings all in place.I have a scale and blood pressure cuff from the same manufacturer and it's great to have all the things in the same place. My doctor had a question the last visit and having blood pressure history helped us make a choice about my health options. The connected scale is good too and nice to have this all in one place.I don't have many complaints - there is what seems to be a "seconds" subdial, which is really a step goal tracker. Once around is your goal (set via the app). It would be nice to be able to make this a legitimate seconds hand or, even better, and overall activity tracker that would show progress to other things. I don't really care about my step goal on days I'm on the bike for an hour, for example. I just want the overall activity (similar to Googe Fit "Heart Points" based on heart rate, duration, and activities). Alternately it might be good to have a longer term trending health score - some measure to show my sleep/blood pressure/activity level, etc. are all in a good zone. There are measures for these on the app, from 0 to 100, and maybe just nice to put these on the subdia. But not a big deal.It integrates with my workout apps through Android "Health Connect", which works well (for example, I can see heart rate from my watch in the Google Fit app), but if I use my watch and my workout app (e.g Zwift/Strava) to monitor a workout, I can sometimes get duplicate workouts in the app.

Don't buy this watch. Battery Issues are common. Once you have it, you have access to the watch troubleshooting webpage and realize that there are a lot of customers with this problem.The watch is simple and nice. When I charged it for the first time, it took 6 hours to charge fully (100%). Luckily, I turned everything on to get the full experience. The battery lasted 19 days. After that, it was almost impossible to get a full charge. After a week of partial charges, I contacted Withings support and was told to return the watch. Then I realized that I crossed Amazon's return deadline. So, I'm stuck with this expensive and hard-to-charge faulty watch. Finally, Withings customer support and Amazon can't solve my problem.

I've been using withings products for over 7-8 years now. I have always gotten compliments on my previous watch the steel HR, and I still turn heads with my scan watch 2. Then when they see it has a built in EKG/electrocardiogram sensor... OLED screen... It's awesome.Definitely a great upgrade from steel HR. I loved my steel HR and the improvements/evolution to the scan watch 2 are awesome. The steel HR had a vibration feature for timers, alarms, etc that was gentle and classy. The scan watch 2 haptic feedback is strong and I feel it in my bones. This thing will wake you up when you set an alarm. With the steel HR, sometimes I slept through it.Big super fan. Highly recommend.
