Review on ๐Ÿ’“ Enhanced Health Monitoring: Withings ScanWatch - Hybrid Smartwatch with ECG, Heart Rate Sensor & Oximeter by Aaron Collins

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Cool Tech, Terrible Stripes

I like the watch so far. Too bad there is no real clockwork - the hands are controlled digitally. It makes sense, but it's disappointing that it's just a digital watch with hands. It's also disappointing that you are NOT supposed to wear it on the inside of your wrist, just so I can wear it comfortably. So far it only seems to be causing problems with blood oxygen levels, but I have to assume that some of the tracking could be inaccurate if I wear it the way I want. When I wear it at night for sleep tracking, I wear it "right" and then flip it back for daytime comfort. Just something to keep in mind when wearing your watch face to face. The biggest disappointment is the straps. They claim to have a "quick release" mechanism, but that mechanism is absolutely awful. I bought 2 other bands to switch and they are too hard to switch so it's basically a waste of money. This is definitely a wheel that does NOT need to be reinvented. Next time please use the same regular watch straps we've always used - they're a lot less crap.
