Review: Withings ScanWatch 2
With their ScanWatch 2, Withings brings the best of smart tech to a classic watch style, without any of the distraction.

Iâve made it quite plain in several other wearables reviews, but to repeat it here: I donât like smartwatches.
They provide health data that I find interesting and valuable and want access to, but I despise having another screen in my life, distracting me from my wrist. With all features enabled, your smartwatch of choice is just mirroring the messages, notifications, and updates from your phones, providing a way to make it even more distracting. But if you turn them all off, youâre left with something styleless on your wrist, which is greatly over-engineered â and more expensive â than you need. It feels needlessly wasteful to buy one only to turn them all off.
