    Hmmm. Interesting. I’m normally an Apple person but I do love my Withings BP Monitor though.
    Please find here a good comparison site between the Apple Warch 7 and this Withings one.

      Well smart watch vs a whach with some 'smart bits' in it not a good comparison

      imo $300 for a analog watch with some smart bits in is not really a good bargain

        Then you wouldn't like those analog watches that go for thousands of $$$ either. You wouldn't be the target market for the Scanwatch.

        I have a Scanwatch & absolutely love it. Classic analog look with enough smart bits to make it work well.

        This is an excellent deal!

      I was reflecting on my own personal use cases for this but overall I would go with the Apple Watch because:
      1. I love how I can control my music on it when I'm out and about
      2. I can read messages on my watch and do quick replies
      3. Better integration with the whole Apple ecosystem (I do not own any Android devices)
      4. I have many other fitness apps that use the Apple watch in some way or another so I will end up wearing the Apple watch much more than the Withings one

    FYI: For people with OCD, you can't put this watch in flight mode.

    • duyfken on 25/03/2022 - 17:49

      FYI: For people who won't use it all the time, to turn it off, you need to factory reset it (There's literally no other way to turn it off). Otherwise it just goes into a low power (watch only) mode when it's not on your wrist.

    In my use case, I have both this and a Samsung watch 4, and much prefer wearing the Scanwatch.

  • alidli on 25/03/2022 - 19:30

    Reminder to self: don't wear a Scanwatch during a pron session

      Well at least it'll document that you did some cardio.

      • duodeta on 25/03/2022 - 20:18

        palpitation when closing.

      • alidli on 25/03/2022 - 20:37

        Does 90 seconds count though?

  • bargainshooter on 25/03/2022 - 21:19

    Medical-grade oxygen saturation level (SpO2) via the wrist my arse. Talk about false advertising - surprised TGA hasn't whacked a huge fine on such misleading statements (though I guess it's via the UK, which would exclude it from their perview).

      lol downvoted for highlighting false advertising - there's always someone…

    • bcarp on 25/03/2022 - 22:56

      Not sure what you mean. Both the Apple Watch and Withings Scanwatch are TGA approved to advertise SpO2 measurements.

      • bargainshooter on 25/03/2022 - 23:19

        TGA have issued exemptions to present data that may be helpful. They aren't approved for medical purposes, unlike fingertip pulse oximeters. Wrist based oximeters, using reflectance sensors can't provide the same level of accuracy for blood oxygen saturation as transmissive sensors measuring arterial blood flow. Wrist based sensors are great at helping identify oxygenation of a particular area - eg legs for high altitude runners. I wouldn't trust them for serious medical conditions.

        • bcarp on 26/03/2022 - 09:25

          That's true, but I don't know any ICU specialist or anaesthetist ever intending these as a pulse oximeter. It's interesting that Withings draws a distinction between medical grade and recreational grade Sp)2 measurements. I wonder what the regulatory differences are:

          • bargainshooter on 26/03/2022 - 13:27

            @bcarp: The point is, they aren't so good if you want to measure blood oxygen for medical reasons. Great for measuring body areas for fitness purposes.

    For someone who owns this, the integration with health app sucks, particularly with steps gained on the watch not transferring to health app. It’s a real shame.

      I don't have this problem with a Pixel 6. Do notifications randomly stop as well? Potentially your phone is closing the connection? Try make sure that the accessibility settings are allowed for Health Mate.
