The ScanWatch 2 from Withings is the updated smartwatch that continuously scans vital parameters to detect heart health conditions, body temperature, and improve overall fitness. With the new available operating system, Health Sense OS 3, it utilizes built-in sensors and artificial intelligence mechanisms to provide you with more accurate and clear measurements than ever before.
Health Monitoring
The ScanWatch 2, developed with professionals and experts from the health sector, features a medical-grade electrocardiogram, an oximeter for SpO2 measurements, and exceptional battery life (up to 30 days).
With the ScanWatch, you can monitor your health through an electrocardiogram. The ECG is the best way to detect atrial fibrillation, a highly prevalent cardiac arrhythmia. It is equipped with three electrodes: two are located on the back of the case and the other is the metal ring around the watch face. When you place your finger on the ring, a circuit is completed that allows the watch to measure the electrical activity of your heart. In the event of a high or low resting heart rate episode, a notification can be sent, or you can easily share the measurements with your doctor via the Withings App, providing information that will help them monitor your heart health. It also uses a medical-grade SpO2 sensor with exclusive multi-wavelength technology, allowing you to record blood oxygen levels from your wrist in just 30 seconds.
Sleep Tracking
Also monitor episodes of respiratory disturbances during sleep thanks to the respiratory scanning function. It also allows you to have a complete picture of your body's temperature fluctuations during the day and night, as well as in any condition your body may be in. The data collected provides you with a better understanding of your body, as you can easily evaluate recovery times and your efficiency after any exercise.
Many different activities and sports
Choose from more than 40 different activities and sports and track your fitness levels, progress, goals, and recovery intervals. With the ScanWatch 2, you have the ability to record and keep the history of each menstrual cycle, entering data for the phase, duration, symptoms, and fluctuations in mood and psychology.
Smart Notifications
Besides being a medical aid, it still has all the other functions of a smartwatch and is compatible with devices, as well as a plethora of applications. This means you can customize notifications to receive them via vibration, as well as have a preview of text messages, calls, events, and applications directly on the watch screen. Withings maintains the highest standards of personal data security, following the specifications of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and additional security measures to protect the personal health data collected by your device.

It has very accurate measurements (it is FDA certified) and a much larger battery life compared to the ridiculous ones that others have. Also, it is not region locked like Google's Pixel and Garmin's counterparts, nor does it require an Apple or Samsung phone to function with full capabilities like those of the specific companies. The only thing that bothers me sometimes is that it doesn't connect directly with the app for synchronization, and I have to close it from my phone and reopen it to connect.
I bought the Withings ScanWatch 2 from Skroutz and I am thrilled with my choice. The watch is amazing and beautiful. Its color gives it an elegance that perfectly complements the classic stainless steel design. It is very lightweight, you almost don't feel it on your wrist.
Its functions are flawless. The watch offers excellent health monitoring with the pulse oximeter and the ECG feature, which allows me to check my heart function at any time. Sleep and activity tracking are also extremely accurate and useful. The app is incredible. It is very user-friendly and provides a complete analysis of health and fitness data. Smartphone notifications work perfectly and are very practical.
Overall, the Withings ScanWatch 2 is an excellent choice for those who want an elegant, functional, and reliable watch. My experience purchasing through Skroutz was also flawless, with fast delivery and excellent customer service.
I highly recommend this watch! I wonder why this brand is not well-known in Greece!!!
Excellent watch both in terms of build quality and features.
All measurements are detailed and accurate.
Blood oxygen measurement and electrocardiogram are done through the sensors on the back and case of the ScanWatch 2. So, to take the measurements, we need to touch the watch on the case. A process that is a bit difficult and much harder than the galaxy watch I already have, but it brings results.
The ScanWatch 2 does not have built-in GPS and needs to be connected to the mobile phone during exercise for better tracking.
In the exercise analysis, we have time, distance, pace, and calories consumed. Heart rate and body temperature are divided into zones for even better exercise analysis. This is very helpful to optimize our pace and especially the temperature indication, which I had not encountered before in the smartwatches I have tried.
I charged the watch to 100% with the opening and after 40 hours and with full exercise and measurement recording, it has only lost 5%. This means that the battery life can reach the 30 days that Withings promises.
Some shortcomings such as the lack of GPS would not personally make me switch from the watch 4, but if I were now looking for a smartwatch, I would definitely consider the Withings ScanWatch 2 as it is a watch that successfully combines the beautiful appearance and excellent quality of a classic watch with the functions of a smartwatch. The integrated application that accompanies it makes the user experience even better.
