At the ongoing IFA 2023 in Berlin, a host of brands unveiled their products. French brand Withings also announced two new smartwatches after nearly three years. The latest offerings are the Withings ScanWatch 2 and ScanWatch Light. The former is touted to be the company’s most advanced hybrid smartwatch to date. While most smartwatches today have a full-touch display, Withings is sticking to a timeless design. Read on to know more about the devices below.
Withings ScanWatch 2, ScanWatch Light specifications and features
Right off the bat, the Withings ScanWatch 2 duo have a timeless design with mechanical hands and a small grayscale OLED display measuring 0.63 inches for showing health metrics and notifications. Both models feature a stainless steel unibody, a rotating crown, and the watch face is shielded by sapphire glass. They are also water-resistant up to 5 meters. The ScanWatch 2 is offered in 38 and 42mm dial sizes whereas the ScanWatch Light comes in a 37mm dimension. Both ScanWatch models are claimed to offer a 30-day battery life.
Coming to the health-centric features, the Withings ScanWatch 2 is equipped with the usual heart rate and SpO2 sensor, sleep tracker, and menstrual cycle monitor. It also packs ECG and is capable of detecting atrial fibrillation via the upgraded 4-channel PPG sensors. The hybrid smartwatch also features a new temperature sensor with a TempTech 24/7 module for analyzing the body’s baseline temperature throughout the day. It will also indicate the onset of illness or health condition. The wearable device also packs support for tracking workout activities.
As for the Withings ScanWatch Light, it packs toned-down features compared to the ScanWatch 2. It has activity tracking, high and low heart rate notifications, cardiac coherence sessions, a sleep tracker, and a menstrual cycle monitor with symptom logging. However, the Light variant misses out on temperature tracking and ECG.
The Withings ScanWatch 2 is offered in Silver Black, Silver White, Silver Black, and Rose Gold Sand colors. It carries a price tag of $350 whereas the ScanWatch Light is priced at $250. Both devices are up for pre-orders from the company’s website with shipments expected to commence from October.
