Sadly, the tradeoff means its a little less intuitive than a standard smartwatch.
Withings Scanwatch 2: One minute review
Want a smartwatch that doesnt look like a smartwatch?
You may want to check out the Withings ScanWatch 2, the best-looking hybrid watch we’ve reviewed yet.
In fact, if it wasnt for the small display on the watch face, youd never know.
Still, if thats not a dealbreaker for you, there are few better-looking timepieces around.
The price of entry is fairly high, however, at $349 / 319 / AU$599.00.
You’re paying for the premium look and feel, rather than advanced functions and smart capabilities.
It also comes in 38mm and 42mm sizes.
All models are 5ATM water resistance rated.
In fact, for the most part itll be showing you how many steps youve walked that day.
It includes a USB-A to USB-C cable, but its pretty short.
Looks fantastic, and wonderfully comfortable to wear.
Sleep tracking is supported, and it also has a ECG (medical-grade!)
for undertaking one of those wherever you are.
Of all the smartwatches Ive tested, I feel like the ScanWatch 2 has the simplest pairing procedure.
Its not that it does anything different from its rivals, but it just worked almost instantly.
Once thats done, the app is split between Home, Measure, and Achieve.
Home gives you some missions to check off, like setting a bedtime routine, or reading an article.
It also tracks your daily activity to help you hit thirty minutes.
The app can write directly to Apple Health, and works alongside Strava and MyFitnessPal.
