With such a device strapped around my wrist day and night, I consider it an extension of my body; it’s essentially an organ to me. Since 2009, my go-to brand for such trackers has been Fitbit. I’ve had about 10 Fitbit trackers and always praised how it was the first device to include a smart sleep alarm; or \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Fthe-smart-sleep-alarm-is-the-holy-grail-of-health-tracking\u002F\" target=\"_blank\">the Holy Grail of health tracking\u003C\u002Fa>. As such, I was continuously spreading the word and many bought Fitbit products because of that. But recently, I\u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.linkedin.com\u002Fposts\u002Fbertalanmesko_fitbit-just-lost-one-of-their-most-enthusiastic-activity-6729074035424071680-Cuj0\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"> fell out with Fitbit\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Excited about their new \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.fitbit.com\u002Fglobal\u002Fus\u002Fproducts\u002Fsmartwatches\u002Fsense\" target=\"_blank\">Fitbit Sense\u003C\u002Fa> and its new health features such as stress management, ECG and SpO2 monitoring, I jumped on the hype train and placed an order in August. Fast-forward 2 months later and… I still haven’t received my unit. After going back-and-forth with their customer support for some 4 hours, they confirmed that they had lost my order. They offered me free shipping if I placed the order again, but that would cost around 30% more. Even though it’s clearly unfair to me, they didn’t seem to care or willing to do anything. The careless approach was accentuated by the fact that their customer support kept sending me pre-written messages, full of grammatical errors which felt like talking to a bot. It’s simply the worst experience I’ve had \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Fgoogles-acquisition-of-fitbit-boon-or-doom-for-the-fitness-tracking-industry\u002F\" target=\"_blank\">since Google acquired Fitbit\u003C\u002Fa>. This was the last straw and I took the decision to not buy any more products from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>So I \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.linkedin.com\u002Fposts\u002Fbertalanmesko_fitbit-just-lost-one-of-their-most-enthusiastic-activity-6729074035424071680-Cuj0\u002F\" target=\"_blank\">turned to our online community\u003C\u002Fa>, asking for suggestions regarding a recommended health tracker. My must-have features were a smart sleep alarm, good battery life and standard health tracking features such as fitness and heart rate. Among the most recommended ones were the \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fouraring.com\u002F\" target=\"_blank\">Oura ring\u003C\u002Fa>, but I wouldn’t like to wear a big ring all the time. Then there were Garmin watches, but these focus on fitness and sports while I want more health features. Finally, there was the \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.withings.com\u002Fde\u002Fen\u002Fscanwatch\" target=\"_blank\">Withings ScanWatch\u003C\u002Fa>. With an ECG monitoring feature and yes, a smart sleep alarm, I was sold on giving it a try. I’ve used it for around 3 weeks and I decided to share my experience with my new digital organ in this article.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2020\u002F12\u002FIMG-2063-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31465\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2020\u002F12\u002FIMG-2063-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2020\u002F12\u002FIMG-2063-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2020\u002F12\u002FIMG-2063-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2020\u002F12\u002FIMG-2063-scaled.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>A smarter watch\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The first thing that’s noticeable about the ScanWatch is that it looks like a classic, analogue watch. That’s because it partly is. More specifically, it’s something of a hybrid between classic and digital watches. The analogue arms are there, ticking 24\u002F7 to indicate time, while a digital screen that’s only 13mm in diameter displays notifications and health data. I haven’t worn an analogue watch for years and the ScanWatch’s sleek, hybrid design was an instant favourite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This hybrid aspect also helps with ScanWatch’s phenomenal battery life. Withings claims that the device can last up to 30 days with a single charge; and it’s no marketing stunt! It will be weeks before I have to charge it. But, of course, this depends on usage. For example, if I ran with it every day and turned the GPS tracking on, I assume it would last “only” around a week or more. Even that’s impressive compared to the single day or even less of battery life of other major smartwatches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"533\" height=\"714\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2020\u002F12\u002Fwithings-scanwatch.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31469\"\u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>However, being a hybrid watch is also a double-edged sword, especially for someone coming from a full-screen smartwatch like me. The small digital screen is really challenging to use compared to the full digital screen of the \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Ffitbit-ionic-review-bromance-pebble-smartwatch\u002F\" target=\"_blank\">Fitbit Ionic\u003C\u002Fa>. You can’t get as many features and control with the ScanWatch itself as with the Ionic. Nevertheless, I still get the data that I’m looking for, with more detailed readings available via the companion app.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>To scroll through the small 13mm display, I have to use the digital crown rather than touch the screen. This can get tricky at times and while it’s not really an issue, it requires an adjustment period if you aren’t used to such controls. I would definitely appreciate a second button for easier controls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>I also had to re-adjust to its weight as its sapphire glass that prevents scratches adds some heft to the device, making it heavier than my previous Fitbit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>The digital health side of things\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Despite having to readjust to the ScanWatch by virtue of its design, I felt quite satisfied with its digital health features. The usual gamut you’d expect out of a smartwatch like step counts, GPS tracking and heart rate monitor are all there. What’s interesting about its activity tracking is that the ScanWatch boasts an “automatic activity detection” feature. This allows the device to automatically recognize an activity and log it in the Health Mate app. Swim, bike or run; the ScanWatch will track them without the need to manually press a button to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Then there are the more advanced health monitoring features which are nevertheless child’s play to measure. Take ECG recordings for one;  I just have to touch the watch with my other hand for a 30-second measurement with the device’s three electrodes (placing the finger on the ring closes the loop, allowing for measurements); and results appear in the app. It thereby shows whether my heart follows a normal pattern or whether there are signs of atrial fibrillation (AFib); an abnormal heart rhythm that predisposes to stroke risk. Although the ScanWatch uses a one-lead electrocardiogram and it isn’t FDA-approved, Withings notes that they \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.withings.com\u002Fde\u002Fen\u002Fscanwatch\" target=\"_blank\">collaborated with clinics\u003C\u002Fa> like the Hopital Georges Pompidou in France to validate ECG measurements and AFib detection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\">\u003Cvideo height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \u002F 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2020\u002F12\u002FTMF_WITHINGS_ECG-1.mp4\">\u003C\u002Fvideo>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The ScanWatch’s pulse oximetry measurements were also \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fclinicaltrials.gov\u002Fct2\u002Fshow\u002FNCT04380389\" target=\"_blank\">validated by the UCSF Hypoxia Research Laboratory\u003C\u002Fa> and these measurements also seamlessly help in sleep tracking. The watch wakes you up if your SpO2 level falls due to snoring for example; or it can even indicate more serious cases of hypoxia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Regarding sleep monitoring, the ScanWatch does it with outstanding precision. I’ve tested sleep trackers for many years, and I know what data I want to see based on my sleep experience. The ScanWatch offers it all and precisely: my light and deep sleep cycles, the time I spent awake and any interruptions I might have experienced. As mentioned, it features my personal must-have Smart Wake-up feature. By tracking my sleep and detecting my sleep stage, it lightly vibrates at the optimal time for a fresh wake up. Importantly, I finally have a smartwatch with a built-in smart sleep alarm that doesn’t kill its battery life by the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>And some more health insights!\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>I was positively surprised to discover additional features with the Withings ScanWatch that weren’t present in my previous Fitbit trackers. Prominently, the companion Withings Health Mate app provides health and sleep reports regularly for free. From it, I can view my latest measurement view trends, gain insights into my workout performance and get some extra motivation with its gamified badges feature. I can further share my reports to my physician if I want to. In comparison, I had to pay an additional fee when using a Fitbit device to obtain such reports. For the €280 that the Withings ScanWatch costs, I’d say it offers good value for money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>I also noted that the ScanWatch counts much fewer steps (in the thousands!) with the same activity than my Fitbit did. For example, when I’m recording a video in the studio, I’m gesticulating a lot but barely moving. My Fitbit would register my hand movements as steps and give an inaccurate result. But this is not the case with the ScanWatch and I get similar stories from people switching from Fitbit to Garmin or to another tracker. Experts have \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.digitaltrends.com\u002Fwearables\u002Fhow-accurate-are-fitness-trackers\u002F\" target=\"_blank\">pointed out inaccuracies\u003C\u002Fa> in fitness trackers in step counts in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>As such, a more accurate device goes a long way in helping one monitor their health metrics and achieve their fitness goal. I think I’ve found such a device with the Withings ScanWatch with which I’m beginning a beautiful friendship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cfigure class=\"aligncenter size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2020\u002F12\u002Fwithings-scanwatch-pros-cons-Copy-768x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31475\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2020\u002F12\u002Fwithings-scanwatch-pros-cons-Copy-768x768.png 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2020\u002F12\u002Fwithings-scanwatch-pros-cons-Copy-150x150.png 150w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2020\u002F12\u002Fwithings-scanwatch-pros-cons-Copy-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2020\u002F12\u002Fwithings-scanwatch-pros-cons-Copy-2048x2048.png 2048w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2020\u002F12\u002Fwithings-scanwatch-pros-cons-Copy.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n",false,{"rendered":22,"protected":20},"\u003Cp>What I need in a smartwatch?
