Top features
The Withings ScanWatch Nova is a hybrid smartwatch blending analog design with health-monitoring tech. It runs on proprietary Withings OS (not Wear OS or watchOS), compatible with both iPhone and Android. Key health sensors include continuous heart rate, SpO2, temperature monitoring, sleep tracking, respiratory health, and menstrual cycle logging. The standout feature is a remarkable 30-day battery life on a single charge with USB-C docking. The watch uses a monochrome LCD display with a traditional watch face—no touchscreen. Water-resistant to 50m, it tracks 40+ activities with connected GPS (via smartphone) and VO2 max estimation. Build quality is solid with premium materials, though it lacks an always-on display and advanced features like ECG or cellular connectivity. Best suited for health-conscious users prioritizing battery life and a classic aesthetic over a feature-rich touchscreen experience.
