Withings Scanwatch Nova - Heart Health Hybrid Smart Watch for Men & Women - SPO2, Temperature Monitoring, Sleep, Respiratory Health, Cycle Monitoring, 30-Day Battery Life, Apple iOS/Android

Excellent watch. Does what they advertise and the battery lasts a whole month

I had a Withings Horizon in blue before this one. The Nova is slightly lighter due to the band being a little narrower and the watch itself maybe slightly slimmer. I’ve had Apple Watches before that all broke within 2 years. I prefer the Withings watch appearance more appealing due to its simple traditional looking face with smart watch features. The smart watch connects flawlessly to my Apple IPhone and its features fit my everyday needs. It’s simple and classy, comfortable and durable. It came with watch adjustment tools and an extra rubber watch band. That’s at least an additional $20-$30 value. Not sure what else I would ask Withings to change in future watches. Try it for yourself if you desire something more traditional looking with all the bells and whistles of a smart watch.

So far so good. One of the most understated product.It’s a fitness and disguised as a mariner. Looks premium too.I do have issues with notifications of mobile but that’s negligible.

The minute hand loses 5 to 20 minutes per DAY. The watch is completely useless as a watch. It’s easy to reset the time, but 4 to 5 times ever single day is pathetic.Nov. 22 update: It’s getting worse. The hands are now 30+ minutes behind the digital time, which is correct.Jan. 20 update: I finally got through to a person at support. Use Contact Us in the Withings' app and click through to chat. If you answer things correctly you’ll get past the chatbot and to a human being. I’m waiting for a resolution but I’m not hopeful.Feb. 15 update: Increased stars! I received the replacement under Withings' warranty on or about Jan. 27. So far the mechanical hands on the replacement watch is keeping time. They even shipped the replacement before receiving the return watch and paid for shipping both ways.Pros:1) The watch is gorgeous.2) The watch duplicates many of the features of the Apple Watch, but with power management that requires infrequent, instead of daily, charging.3) There are parts of the Withings' app that I prefer to Apple's Health app. They work well in tandem.4) The watch includes the O2 monitor that's been disabled on the Apple Watch.5) The replacement process was relatively painless - once I worked my way through Withings' website and reached a human. Even better I dealt with the same person throughout - via email. The best part was the speed of our interaction. It was very close to a real-time conversation. Kudos and a hat tip to Withings' rep, Toffee! He's turned an extremely unhappy customer to a happy one.Cons:1) Using a minute hand that sweeps instead of one that clicks minute-by-minute would almost surely be less prone to losing time. (The hour hand sweeps and doesn't click hour-by-hour.)2) Couldn't there be a way to sync the digital time to the mechanical hands automatically?3) Having more than one shortcut would be nice. Perhaps double- and triple-presses on the crown? I'd use the timer more but it's too many clicks and spins of the crown.

I bought this watch in Feb 2025 and it has never worked properly. I first noticed that the step counter is off by 50% or so, and none of the notifications worked inconsistently. I contacted Withings through chat on their website, and below is the transcript stating this is a known issue. I have a support request open with them, but they no longer respond to it. The customer service and two year warranty are useless.System (Withings)Jun 4, 2025, 17:23 GMT+2(17:08:20) Matt Koenig: So is this a known issue with this watch?(17:09:07) Eman: Yes. Our development team is happily working on this matter.(17:09:33) Eman: Do you have any questions for me?(17:10:06) Matt Koenig: do you have a date when this might be resolved?(17:12:12) Eman: Although there is no estimated time, please rest assured that I will let you know via email right away once I hear back from them.(17:12:33) Matt Koenig: ok, thanks(17:13:14) Eman: Is there anything else you'd like to ask?(17:13:49) Matt Koenig: no thanks(17:14:27) Eman: You're most welcome. Since you don't have any questions for me, I'll be closing this chat for the time being. Please do not hesitate to reach out again if you need any further assistance, and I will be glad to help. I am delighted that I was given an opportunity to assist you on this matter, and I am hoping that you are happy with the services that I have provided. Again, this is Eman. Thank you for contacting Withings Customer Support.

I have had the watch for short time. I love it. I have had other smart watches and health monitor. The Withing Nova watches beats them both hands down.Give encouragement for keeping up with exercise goals. Alerts for phone calls, massages etc. does ekg, pulse oximetry. Easy to use and set up. Keeps time the watch is linked to your phone. In other reviews says it looses time- haven’t had that issues. Feels so nice to not to have to race to charge my watch before it dies. This watch the battery life is awesome.

It a perfect hybrid watch for business and health tracker. It looks good on business and the health tracking is more than enough.
