Very good video. It's a shame about the sleep tracking problem. I recently had a gen6 hybrid Fossil, and it did the sleep recording correctly (or at least apparently correct). (I returned this Fossil watch for other reasons.) This withings scanwatch horizon is very elegant and very clear vision. But I already detected the same problem with sleep tracking. I get up many times due to health issues and the need to take medication. Sometimes i also sleep during the day, and same problem. It doesn't matter if I sleep 6 hours or sleep 14, the watch can say that I have slept 3 or 4 hours. I sensed what the problem was, because if i slept for 7 hours without waking up, then tracking is correct. Breathing vigilance during sleep is also impaired for the same reason. Because vigilance ends during sleep. It is paradoxical, I buy a watch that controls my sleep and my health, and it turns out that what matters least to this device is sleep and health during it. One of the last side effects I've had from opioid medication has been sleeplessness, and the clock doesn't say anything about it.
The sleep tracking issue you mention is transient. I too use an Oura and compared the two. But I realized that if you open the health mate app right when you wake up, it only reports like the first 75% of your sleep data. If you open the app up an hour later, your full sleep data will show up and be more consistent with the Oura ring. That being said, I still think the Oura ring is superior to any watch for sleep monitoring, and this was verified by one of the leading sleep medicine physicians in the US.
The sleep tracking problem is real. I don't have an Aura. I have the scanwatch horizon, and the truth is that although I see problems, I really liked its appearance and I will keep it for this. The Aura is very expensive and it would be hard for me to have to charge it every 5 days. I can tell you that I am a sick person, and I need to get up a lot to medicate or visit the bathroom very frequently. So my dreams can be more than 9 hours, and Winthings tells me that the dream was 3 or 4 hours. Before watching this video I sensed that the problem was this. When I get up and go back to bed, the clock already thinks I'm not sleeping anymore.
I've been enjoying it. I don't sleep in it regularly since I have the Oura ring but otherwise it has grown on me. I like the nicer casual style. In the dark, there is some lume to the markers and hands, but not much. If you can't read the dial (it is really dim) you can press the crown to have to screen light up with the time.

Great review. How does it work as a day to day watch for you. How is it in the dark? Cheers

@@ProductImpressions ah great, definitely one to consider then. Thanks for your reply 👍🏻
Hi, do you know if the watch connects to Samsung health or strava?
Yes, through the Withings Health app.
