I’ve beloved Withings’ hybrid watches, which put all of the well being tech you want into an analog watch physique, for greater than a decade. The ScanWatch Nova crams the ScanWatch 2’s {hardware} right into a diver’s watch physique and appears way more luxurious than it really prices. And, in fact, it’s acquired all the flowery well being and health gear you is likely to be taken with shopping for for a beloved grownup.
Buried inside that case is a built-in ECG, coronary heart price and oximeter, in addition to a temperature sensor. You’ll get sleep monitoring, automated exercise monitoring and entry to the very best at school Withings Well being app. However for me, probably the most compelling characteristic is the 30-day battery life, which will provide you with, uh, 29 and a half extra days of life on a single cost than the comparable Apple Watch.
Really, probably the most compelling characteristic is the analog subdial that’ll hold observe of your step rely set to no matter goal fits you. If it’s getting late within the day and also you wish to ensure you’ve acquired your 10,000 steps in, that data is true there. So, it’s helpful, sensible, trendy and can outperform loads of different smartwatches available on the market — any questions? — D.C.
