The ScanWatch 2 just came out! What a suprise 😂! For those thinking of getting an ScanWatch 2 - i think the ScanWatch 1 will be the better deal, as the new one only has slightly extended battery life and a temperature sensor. For myself i will not upgrade as i like the design of the ScanWatch 1 better anyway ✌🏻.
I had a Scanwatch 1st generation and found the glass too reflective to read the dial well. The blood oxygen level was way off and it alerted me to having Afib when I was in sinus rhythm by an EKG. I liked the concept but had to return the device. I hope they fixed those issues in the second generation watch.
I purchased this yesterday, and it arrived today, and I couldn't be more pleased. This watch looks and feels amazing. The simplicity of it from an esthetics perspective was exactly what I was looking for, while it intelligently monitors everything a typical smartwatch can; hands down extremely pleased! Thank you again for the review. There aren't that many reviews of this watch -- a good handful, but not as many as the other big names.
Great video as always! I’m actually just a bare wrist guy. As someone who likes watching minimalist/tech/edc type videos on RUclips I don’t actually don’t buy too many things. I had a professor in one of my marketing classes show us a picture from apple’s original iPhone release. It was basically a graphic that advertised how the iPhone(or any smartphone) was great because it would remove the need to buy/carry so many things for your daily carry. Notebooks, camera, pens/pencils, calculator, flashlight, alarm clock, laptop, navigation guides, etc. and among those things listed was of course a watch. He said somewhere along the way we forgot what the purpose of smartphones was, mainly due to marketing telling us we still need some of those other things.
This sounds like he is an awesome professor! That is an interesting story and insight I didn't know about... Thank you for sharing! Marketing is truly a powerful weapon 🤔.
You said that its not waterproof enough for swimming, even though Withings themselves states that these are 5ATM rated, and that is generally considered OK for swimming. Am I missing something or perhaps misunderstood something here?
Thanks for the great review ..but could you please tell me how loud the notifications are eg irregular heart beat..is it an audible alert or haptic . Thanks !
Thank you for the video (Vielen Dank!). I'm thinking of the very same things you mentioned, and I'm wondering if this is a move I should make as well. The one thing you didn't cover was if you need to get an additional subscription with the ScanWatch? I don't think you do, but is a subscription to Withings analogous to an Apple Fitness subscription? I hadn't considered losing Apple Pay--that's a good point. I'll keep thinking on it for a bit. Cheers!⌚
Yes i never had any issues and its still working like on day 1. However i have switched to a garmin as i wanted advanced sport features for running and hiking. 👍🏼
I have avarage size wrists so the 38mm works fine for me i personally dont like huge watches so this was a no brainer to me. Plus i liked the design of the 38mm more. ✌🏻
Really depends on your wrist size, John. I have a 180mm wrist and the 38mm model would be too small for me. Best case you can try the sizes on somewhere, to get a feel for the difference. I had both and definitely go with the black 42mm model!
Why do you say it is not waterproof enough? It has 50meter waterproof advertised with a swimming workout setting. Can you follow up on this because other reviews say you can swim with it. Did you find that you cannot? This could be a dealbreaker for me. Thank you.
@@withfabianI actually came here to remove that comment because you responded to another of the same comment. I didn’t see that at first. We all make mistakes and you are awesome for admitted that. Otherwise, the review and video was great. I executed and purchased this watch today. Really excited for it! Cheers mate
⌚ a Nice and helpful video. Thank you! I am ordering My Withings as we speak - I am tired of conventional ''ugly'' smart watches not lasting more than a few days in a Apple ecosystem....
theres no need for me. as i bought it just a couple of months ago and it is still awesome. i like the older design more and the new features are not something im missing. if the new one would include nfc payments or so it might be worth it.
I have a Xiaomi GTS 2 mini, which basically does everything that an Apple Watch does but with a battery life of 20 days. It has its limitations, such as not being able to make NFC payments, but it is an incredible watch.

Glad I could help! Sounds like you had very similar things you were looking for as myself! Enjoy the watch and have a great one! 😃
I don't understand why they ditched the steel hr design which was great and the perfect size. I don't like neither of the scanwatches 2.
I get you! I feel the same. Version 1 is however still a great value. ✌🏻

I guess youre right! I just double checked withings website. Sorry for the wrong info! ✌🏻
@@withfabian thanks for the confirmation, I was generally thinking that maybe I had wrong info 😅 Have a nice day! ✌️
@@mehutolkki3232no it is waterproof, but under water, and after the crown got dry, it is not recommended to turn/press the crown
Thanks for the great review ..but could you please tell me how loud the notifications are eg irregular heart beat..is it an audible alert or haptic . Thanks !
The watch alerts you with haptic vibrations. Hope this helps!
Got to the end. I can't find a watch icon. Thank you for the review
😂👍🏼
I was looking something like this . Thanks man !
glad you found it mate✌🏻

Bitte schön! Withings does offer an optional subscription which gives deeper health insights, however I haven't felt the need for it yet. Take care :)
Your withings still holding up? Lots of reviews says many issues after months. And no support.
Yes i never had any issues and its still working like on day 1. However i have switched to a garmin as i wanted advanced sport features for running and hiking. 👍🏼
Great video! Which size would you recommend? I like the smaller size with rounded unibody stainless steel, but the bigger one looks classic too

This was a wrong information. The watch is waterproof as you mentioned. Someone has previously pointed this out. Sorry for the confusion 🙏🏻.

Return it and buy Scanwatch 2 that just released

@@withfabian the newer one might get more improvements or new features down the line, which the old one might not. I have the first one too BTW.
@@k7ufo819 thats right, but nfc payment is hardware related not software. so for me i dont see a point in upgrading. but time will tell for sure ✌🏻😉
Scanwatch 2 is out
it is! what a suprise 😂 - unfortunately without apple pay or any nfc payment..
@@withfabian thats why we wait for scanwatch HORIZON 2....

I replaced my no watch with a Nothing watch, lol.

Nice! Looks like an interesting watch, specially for the price and 20 days batterylife sounds awesome! 🔋
That’s smart
Does it have ECG and good sleep tracking?
Idem! I use both because Iwatch batery is just ###+***
Unfortunately my Xiaomi GTS 2 mini is not very accurate.
