Withings ScanWatch
The Withings ScanWatch (the ScanWatch 2 at about $349 and the ScanWatch Nova, including the Nova Brilliant at about $600, November 2024; from Withings, founded 2008 in France and independent since buying itself back from Nokia in 2018) is the hybrid-analog entry of the biometric cohort: a conventional analog watch dial paired with medical sensors (optical PPG, electrical ECG, SpO2, and TempTech24/7 continuous temperature) and about 30-day battery. Its cleared features include ECG (for AFib, sinus rhythm, and high heart rate, cleared 2021, with an OTC ECG clearance in 2025), SpO2 with breathing-disturbance detection, and temperature trends, with an optional Withings+ subscription (~$9.95/month). It carries substantial peer-reviewed cardiologist validation for the size of the company. Cap-flag: as a French maker it is cleared in both the EU and the US, with different specific indications by region.
