Withings Introduces Affordable Scanwatch Light for those in the Market for a Hybrid Smartwatch
Just a few weeks ago, we took a close look at Withings’ Scanwatch Horizon and while we found some promising features, the high price might have deterred some potential buyers. However, Withings has now introduced the Scanwatch Light, a more affordable option for those in the market for a hybrid smartwatch.
Priced at just over £230, the Scanwatch Light offers a more budget-friendly alternative to the Horizon model. Despite the lower price point, the watch still boasts impressive features and a stylish design.
The 37mm dial, made of stainless steel with Gorilla Glass protection, is available in five different colors, catering to a variety of preferences. The small OLED display at the top of the watch face provides information about steps taken, heart rate, and notifications, all easily accessible with just a tap. Additionally, the watch is equipped with a PPG sensor for health monitoring and is 5TM certified, making it safe for diving and use in water.
Despite its smaller size, the OLED panel provides clear and easy-to-read information, and the watch boasts an impressive 30-day battery life on a single charge.
Withings has clearly prioritized a user-friendly and health-focused design, catering to the needs of its customers. Features such as sleep tracking, heart rate monitoring, water resistance, and notification support make the Scanwatch Light a practical and efficient hybrid smartwatch.
However, some might argue that the price of the Scanwatch Light could be more competitive, especially when compared to other smartwatch options on the market. With a slightly lower price point, the Scanwatch Light could become an even more attractive option for consumers.
Overall, Withings has succeeded in creating a hybrid smartwatch that offers a range of features while maintaining a stylish and compact design. Whether it’s the right fit ultimately depends on individual preferences and budget, but the Scanwatch Light certainly offers an appealing option for those in search of a more affordable smartwatch solution.
