Glad you liked it! I have been wearing 24/7 since it was unboxed. The health statistics and feedback and wonderful. I am working on my ScanWatch follow-up video later today and tomorrow.
More to come about this French timepiece later this week or next. I have yet to decide if I'll do a three-day or just wait for the full week. It was quite comfortable to sleep with and that is good thing. Thanks for clicking on by David and wonderful comments, pithy comments, as always! I'll be visiting your channel later today on my lunch break!
Me and my wife have just got one each for an Early Christmas present mine is 42mm the wife is 38mm I found it very easy to setup I have got mine on boys and the toys so far I am very impressed with the watch and the app
Great video. Really liking mine so far. Totally agree that the placing you hand on the watch for ECG and SP02 is to assure there is good contact to the skin. I have found there is no need to cover the face of the watch to accomplish this but rather press the frame of the watch with your thumb and finger. That allows you to get the reading and still see the countdown. Agree as well on the weight of the watch. Wish the sleep data was as in depth as the fitbit.
I thought it strange about the 24 hour approval process to see my own ECG statement. Glad you are liking your ScanWatch. I am finishing up Day 3 and still going off the same charge - down to 77% 😎
@@PeterHerget I believe the reason why you can't access your ECG right away is due to laws in the US surrounding ECG. How other companies were able to do it, however, I don't know. Maybe Withings is doing something different.
Yeah, it must do with the ScanWatch origin of France... I received authorization about 15 hrs after it was unboxed and it has been functioning beautifully ever since. I am working on a one-month later video about this Withings wearable now.
I just published a follow-up video about the ScanWatch. Yes, I like it. I'll be a full review when I reach Day 63 of which will be later this month. The accuracy is great, the watch looks fantastic, the screen is made of sapphire glass, and the battery life is fabulous. I have also found the ScanWatch by Withings to be comfortable to wear. I do wish it tracked naps though.
Hand on watch during SPO2 (and ECG) is to ensure the sensors are in full contact with your wrist during the duration of the test. I have mine doing tests every 10 minutes. Battery use seems a bit faster than I'd expect, if it's to make the 30 days expected from a charge (maybe 20 days at current rate.) Perhaps I didn't get a full charge in mine? I had the Steel HR prior to this, and that regularly got its promised 25 days, so I'm willing to withhold judgement there. I like the luminous hands, which the Steel HR didn't have. I also like how, when the LED screen is activated, that the hands will move out of the way to avoid blocking the screen, then move back when the screen turns off. That's nifty.
Thanks Kirk for pithy comments! Glad you like your ScanWatch as much I do. Today is my Day 4 with this new Withings wearable and I really the comfort factor and how it quietly tracks all my health statistics. Withings made a few design changes and the new look is great. The sapphire glass was an awesome choice for most watch screens get so scratched up after just a few months. I didn't like the OEM watchband they sent, so I put on another and it looks even better than before (that will show-up in my next video). As for the SP02 and ECG, yeah, two huge features. Oh wait, and it tracks respiratory stats and flights of stairs. And it has a breathing app to help a human relax - sweet! A few questions for you, if you would please: 1. Did the Withings Steel HR or Sport track flights of stairs? 2. Can you can find in the Withings Health Mate where the breathing sessions are being tracked? Thanks!
1. The Steel HR I had didn't track stairs. 2. I don't see breathing sessions in the phone app. I've only done one of those, but it was long enough ago that it should have gotten synced to the app by now.
Thanks for the research help! I was looking at my ScanWatch this morning around 04:00 and was wanting to see the numbers around the watchface illuminated as well as the hour/minute hands. Okay, correction, I would like the number dashes illuminated. Alas, I just pressed the button the and the digital time appeared blinding my weary eyes... And yes, I really like the new flights of stairs counter!
Soon, for certain - later this month. I have a friend testing some feature for me for I was busy testing the TicWatch, Apple Watch 7, and the Withings ScanWatch.
Fantastic first look! The hand on the watch for SpO2 readings is a deal breaker for me. None of my other watches have this requirement. The watch sure is pretty.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Wizzle! I really like the look of most of the Withings hybrid watches they have created over the years and it is easy, super simple in fact, to use. I am still impressed how much health data such small devices on our wrist, or finger, are able to collect.
I believe it is conducting via skin contact just like the Apple Watch and Samsung requirements of having a finger press on a button. I am going to do more reading tomorrow.
I just tried that and the ScanWatch gave an error. I tightened the band, tried again, didn't talk nor did I move and... the ScanWatch failed my SP02 reading. I wonder if yours is some how different than mine?
You and me both for I keep hoping that Withings will mimic Garmin and make more the entire screen an invisible OLED that just appears when you need it.
There is something 007 (James Bond) ish about having a hidden screen! I also like the idea of wearing a smartwatch and nobody knowing that I'm wearing a smartwatch or fitness device.
I have been getting lots of looks and compliments on the new new Withings ScanWatch - not the reason I bought it. Nonetheless, it is fun to chat with my coworkers, strangers, and neighbors about the gadgets they see me wearing.
Yes, it does show date and time. It also has the following widget or display options: 1. Date 2. Heart Rate 3. Steps 4. Elevation (floors, the watch counts how many flights are stairs you climb) 5. Workouts 6. Oxygen saturation (Sp02) 7. Breathe 8. Electrocardiogram (ECG) 9. Clock 10. Settings 11. Calories 12. Distance
Thank you. It is wonderful for taking notes, drawing, sketches, reading ebooks, PDFs, and for organizing thoughts. Last month they finally integrated Google Drive and Dropbox, so that was pretty cool. Here is a referral link they sent me to share and let people save $40 when they order reMarkable 2 tablet… remarkable.com/referral/758A-CQCA
On other Withings watches, I have read that the hands spin/move out of the way when using the digital screen at the top which makes it hard to check the time while doing activity tracking/viewing steps. Does this occur with this watch? If it does, do the hands go back when you stop using the digital screen? It seems like it would be annoying if the hands were moving all the time.
Yes, the hands move out of the way when you're checking data on the LED screen and then they quickly move back to the correct time marks. There are settings to leave the screen on while running, another setting to enable "raise-to wake" and of course every time you press the one button the screen turns on the hour & minute hands move. However, depending on the time of the day, yes, of course there are many times during the day the screen and time don't conflict and you'll be able to tell the time of day and read health/workout data.
I'm looking for a hybrid watch for my wife who's a doctor. I'm trying to find one where you can easily see a seconds counter. I can't find any that have a seconds hand, just hours and minutes. Using this watch, is there a fast way to start a timer or see a seconds count?
Yes, if you reorganize the menu you can make the clock as the primary or second option, scroll right to it and start a timer or stopwatch in less than 7 seconds. I can so case the stopwatch and timer options in my next video for you!
So glad that you did this review. I have been thinking of this one. Curious about the O2 sensor always on and how quickly that drains the battery. Also curious on if the HR monitor is constant or is it just every 10 minutes, I have heard both. Also with the first ECG they send it in for review but future ECG's will not be sent to them and you will get your results instantly.
Yeah, the ECG was very curious and how they are making me wait. It must be related to the FDA and the long delays of the ScanWatch before it could be sold her in the United States. I'll be doing more tests regarding blood oxygen, sleep analysis, V02 Max, and electrocardiogram accuracy.
I checked this morning the the heart rate appears to be collecting data every several minutes. I am doing a yoga workout with the ScanWatch, Apple Watch 6, and the TicWatch3 P.U.G. to see how the HR and calories measure up. I plan to have some great content for my ScanWatch follow-up video...
@@PeterHerget Looking forward to it. Wanting to upgrade my GWA2 to something else this Thanksgivinig weekend and this is one that I am considering. I have a Coros Pace 2 for running so I am not too concerned about HR during workouts. Really excited that you picked this up. I also had the Steel HR and liked it but it was underwhelming at the same time. I do have a worry that going from a true smartwatch to the Scanwatch may be a downgrade. However, it may be an upgrade with the health sensors. Hopefully you can help me with these decisions. Scanwatch would look good with the suits that I need to wear, then I could switch off to the GWA2 for general around the house wear, and then the Coros for running. But that almost seems like overkill. Maybe the Fenix 6 Pro is the way to go. But as soon as I buy the Fenix 6, Garmin will release the Fenix 7 with the new sensors, touch screen, etc. Thanks again for doing these videos. I trust what you are doing. Some of the other reviewers seem to only show the positives and not the negatives. Plus you compare these with the other devices that people are really looking at buying! Thanks!!!
The more I read about this watch the more I am not interested. Many comments on the Withings webpage are so negative about how the watch performs and then doesn't report Afib when other devices report the symptom.
Thank you B C and glad my days of hard work and helping at least one person. I have yet to try a Coros for I've been swamped testing other wearables. I am pretty much maxed out right now and for the rest of November. I have the ScanWatch this week, only 16 hours old, the Oura Ring 3.0 coming later this week, and I just wrapped up the Apple Watch 7 and the silly TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS.
I had the Sport HR and tried the Black background face, but the glare was very difficult to read the hands. I tried the white background face and was able to read the hands much better. Noticed there is still a bit of glare on the watch. Seems like the glass is still domed. How has the sapphire glass been in different light conditions? Also didn't like how both of the Sport HR's mineral glass would pick up small scratches so easily, hoping the sapphire glass works as well as the old Withings models.
Great, and very pithy comments Motorals - thanks! Yeah, the glass is still domed and there is a bit of a glare. I need to find a neighbor that has a Sport HR or Steel to compare side by side. And yes, my Steel Sport HR has micro scratches too and it was difficult to read. This ScanWatch has many improvements - outdoor readability is one of them and I'll showcase that in my next video going out either tomorrow or early next week. I am still reading and learning about all the ScanWatch offers. I tried the new feature called, "Respiratory Scan" last night and it is logged as 'Breathing disturbances' next and combined with Sleep Analysis, SP02 readings, Irregular Heartbeat alerts, and more. I am tempting to buy the Withings Scale and their blood pressure cuff to see how it all functions together in one happy French ecosystem, alas, Christmas is right around the corner and I need to save my money for other gifts.
@@PeterHerget I have the Withings BPM and it works great for what I need for my BP checks. Battery life is wonderful, do wish the strap was a bit more flexible after all this time using it.
Decided to get the Apple Watch 7 after trading in my Apple Watch 4. I am fine with the 18 hour battery life and the quick charge helped make the decision.
Great Video and nice introduction of the watch. I am thinking to buy this watch. But I have some concern. First I have read somewhere that this watch wants to be enable location for the measurements. Is that true? Can you use it without allow location? Also can you set the off the watch for the continues heart rate measurement and just whenever you like to do it manually? And my last question. As I saw you are having galaxy watch 4. (I am thinking about that also the classic version).Did you compare the two watches? Witch one looks like more accurate in the measurements?Thanks and excuse me for the lots of questions .
The Withings ScanWatch does not yet come with stand-along GPS - your iPhone or Android phone must be with you to calculate your route with outdoor workouts Running, Cycling, Walking The ScanWatch also tracks swimming, and has an indoor workout mode that you can classify a rowing workout or other. As for the continuous HR it is tracking the heart rate all day and night about every five minutes or so. There is not a setting to change that at this time. I find the HR statistics to be as accurate as Garmin, Apple, and Samsung thus far. I am only on Day 13 with the ScanWatch and need a few more weeks of collecting data and then I'll spend several hours analyzing the data and comparing it to Apple, Garmin, Samsung, Oura, and perhaps a few others. And yes, I may do a comparison video using the ScanWatch again another hybrid watch. Comparing the ScanWatch to the Galaxy Watch4 is not a good comparison for they are very, very different timepieces.
@@PeterHerget Thank you for your quick response. So far I know it has not a stand-along gps. My concern was because somewhere I have read the watch asks to enable location. I was interested about that. The heart rate measurements is important for me if it is not necessary then dont check it continousely. What I mean if I want to do it manually if that is an option or not :) Regarding the Watch 4 I know it is in a different league :D That is why I am more likely focused on this watch because I had a PFO closure last year and I need a watch which is more focused on the health instead of the too much functionality. But this case I am worried about the interfere with my stent. Which I am going to check with my doctor. Thanks again.
I will read the manual, run some tests of my own, and let you know. The battery 🔋 life is wonderful! I am on Day 13 today and only charged it three times including my first full charge when it was unboxed.
@@PeterHerget Thank you. That 3 times charges because you are testing the watch with high activity? :) Just because it is suppose to be like 30 days lasting. Of course in different situations daily ecg/spo2 etc it reduces quicker.
Yep & exactly! With high use, tons of notifications, HR readings every 5 minutes, respiratory tracking & SpO2 tracking at night, and raise-to-wake enabled, yes, the ScanWatch still lasted me four to five days.
Hey, Peter. Nice review. Thanks for that. 🙂 I've always use Apple Watches for the past 3/4 years, and I'm very used to the 3 rings of Apple (movement, exercise, etc.). My question, if I use this Withings watch for all day, does it count for the 3 rings of Apple? Many thanks and continue the good work!
I need to wear the ScanWatch again and I'll let you know in a video response. How does that sound? Any other questions you'd like answered via video response?
Yeah, I get that viewpoint often. It is small enough to be discreet, yet small enough to be annoying. I prefer a full OLED or e-ink screen myself. My favorite screens of 2021 are the Garmin Fenix 6X Pro Solar or the Tactix Delta Solar. And then the new Apple Watch 7. Okay, I really like the combination of the AMOLED and the e-ink that Mobvoi created for the TicWatch3; however, the software needs a major overall. Thanks Chris - your honest is always welcome in my Social Media Realm...
Great video about this watch from France!
Thanks for watching T.P.K.!
Great video about a hybrid watch 😀

What I mean if I want to do it manually if that is an option or not :) Regarding the Watch 4 I know it is in a different league :D That is why I am more likely focused on this watch because I had a PFO closure last year and I need a watch which is more focused on the health instead of the too much functionality. But this case I am worried about the interfere with my stent. Which I am going to check with my doctor. Thanks again.
I will read the manual, run some tests of my own, and let you know. The battery 🔋 life is wonderful! I am on Day 13 today and only charged it three times including my first full charge when it was unboxed.
@@PeterHerget Thank you. That 3 times charges because you are testing the watch with high activity? :) Just because it is suppose to be like 30 days lasting. Of course in different situations daily ecg/spo2 etc it reduces quicker.
Yep & exactly! With high use, tons of notifications, HR readings every 5 minutes, respiratory tracking & SpO2 tracking at night, and raise-to-wake enabled, yes, the ScanWatch still lasted me four to five days.
The circular watch face is nice for reading the time of day. The font is too small for my tastes. Nice review!
Yeah, I agree. I was truly hoping the Apple Watch ULTRA released in 2022 was going to be Apple's first wearable with a circular screen - nope!
Hey, Peter.
Nice review. Thanks for that. 🙂
I've always use Apple Watches for the past 3/4 years, and I'm very used to the 3 rings of Apple (movement, exercise, etc.).
My question, if I use this Withings watch for all day, does it count for the 3 rings of Apple?
Many thanks and continue the good work!
I need to wear the ScanWatch again and I'll let you know in a video response. How does that sound? Any other questions you'd like answered via video response?
@@PeterHerget, sounds excellent!
Many thanks in advance. 😃
If I have other questions, I’ll let you know.
All good for you. 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Don't like the little screen
Yeah, I get that viewpoint often. It is small enough to be discreet, yet small enough to be annoying. I prefer a full OLED or e-ink screen myself. My favorite screens of 2021 are the Garmin Fenix 6X Pro Solar or the Tactix Delta Solar. And then the new Apple Watch 7. Okay, I really like the combination of the AMOLED and the e-ink that Mobvoi created for the TicWatch3; however, the software needs a major overall. Thanks Chris - your honest is always welcome in my Social Media Realm...
Over a month later and... yes, that screen is super tiny!
