I’ve beloved Withings’ hybrid watches, which put all of the well being tech you might want in a far much less geeky package deal, for greater than a decade. The ScanWatch Horizon, its first utilizing a diver’s watch case, has been a everlasting fixture on my wrist since 2021. Since then, Withings has up to date the ScanWatch with much more options, and launched a Horizon successor, referred to as the Nova.
The one draw back is that each one the ScanWatches are, to be blunt, beefy sufficient that they solely go well with people with robust forearms. For those who desire a smaller timepiece, you’ve been left on the sidelines till the corporate launched the ScanWatch Nova Sensible. It shrinks the entire ScanWatch tech right into a 38mm case and will get a two-tone strap that matches your bezel shade alternative.
A cynic would possibly counsel Withings is aping the fashion of Rolex’s Datejust watches, even all the way down to the two-tone strap alternative. An optimist would possibly surprise why that’s related, given it prices an order of magnitude much less cash and does an terrible lot extra. If somebody particular in your life needs a sensible watch however not a smartwatch, and desires to look luxurious whereas doing it, this needs to be prime of your choices. — Daniel Cooper, Senior Reporter
