Hybrid Smart Timepieces

Withings Debuted a 39mm Iteration of its ScanWatch Nova

The Withings ScanWatch Nova 39MM is a newly introduced hybrid smartwatch that combines traditional analog aesthetics with advanced health monitoring features. This model retains the classic look of a traditional watch, featuring a polished chrome body, analog hands with glow-in-the-dark LumiNova coating, and a rotating crown. However, it integrates modern technology through a small OLED display at the 12 o’clock position and a secondary dial at 6 o’clock that tracks health goals. The device is equipped with clinically certified sensors capable of monitoring atrial fibrillation, SpO2 levels, temperature, and sleep patterns, among other health metrics.

In terms of functionality, the ScanWatch Nova 39MM offers a balance between style and substance. It is designed for users who appreciate the elegance of a traditional timepiece but also seek comprehensive health tracking capabilities. The watch boasts a battery life of up to 30 days, making it a practical choice for long-term use without frequent recharging. Despite its sophisticated design, the ScanWatch Nova does not include built-in GPS and has limited support for third-party apps, which may be a consideration for users seeking more extensive smart features.
