Pros

  • Stunning
  • Weeks of battery
  • Two bands in the box

Cons

  • Uncomfortable to sleep with
  • Notifications hard to read
  • No integrated GPS

Without a doubt, the Withings ScanWatch Nova is the nicest watch I have ever wrapped around my wrist. It’s masculine, stylish, and elegant.

It’s also a decent smartwatch. For basic (and even some not-so-basic) health tracking, the ScanWatch Nova does a solid job of keeping tabs on your activity, body temperature and heart rate.

But some of the things that make the ScanWatch Nova such an impressive fashion piece also hold back its smartwatch features. It’s too big and bulky to be comfortable to sleep with, and the control through the crown can get frustrating.

But as a hybrid watch, this is an exceptionally well-crafted product.
