09:23 Conclusions
The “Insider program” only had a total of 1000 scanwatches for sale, and they were sold out in minutes. I picked up the 38mm black version. Surprisingly, when I bought it, the price was set to 249,95 euros, however, they quickly changed it to 279.95 even before it was sold out, which is not also the official price listed on the website. The larger version comes in at 299.95.
So what are the features of the scanwatch? It can do a lot: track activity, sleep, heart rate monitoring, monitor oxygen saturation levels, detect breathing disturbances and has 3 electrodes to provide an ECG.
Let’s first have a look at HR. This is one of the most common features in fitness trackers, and of course we want it to be accurate. So for two nights and also during two training exercises I wore both this Polar H10 and the Scanwatch to compare HR measurements in different conditions. Here you can see the results:
[results]
So, the HR accuracy is pretty OK, I’ll do a larger test in a future video.
The ECG measurement checks to see if the upper and lower chambers of your heart are in rhythm. If it detects they're out of rhythm, this is an indicator of the heart condition atrial fibrillation or A-Fib. For the ECG the first point of contact is on the bottom of the watch, touching your wrist, and for the second contact you have to touch one finger on the rim metal of the watch with your other hand. Which I think is similar to a 1-lead ECG, with your right arm as the negative pole and the left one as the positive. Which is also why you have to tell the app on which wrist you wear the device.
It also measures your oxygen saturation, which is basically the amount of oxygen in your blood.
The Scanwatch is able to detect the presence of breathing disturbances using the motion sensor, the SpO2 sensor and the heart rate sensor. With the Respiratory Scan feature, the scanwatch has to measure oxygen saturation levels all night long, to identify when levels are inadequate because of breathing disturbances such as sleep apnea.
Finally, there is the sleep stage tracking. As you might have seen in my other videos, I have tested several wearables against professional sleep devices, and I plan to do this with the Scanwatch as well. However, looking at the data from 2 nights, i can already say some things: (1) the Scanwatch can only predict light sleep, deep sleep and awake, and not REM, which is arguably one of the most important to track sleep cycles, and (2) the scanwatch predicts way to much deep sleep for me, so I doubt the results will be super accurate. However, more to follow in the future!
Overall. I think the Scanwatch holds a lot of promise: it looks great for a Fitness tracker, and has a lot of sensors. However, if you’re not that interested in measuring things like ECG or oxygen saturation, then Withings has cheaper options in their product line-up that arguably look even better.

    Hi everyone. I have recently been given one of these watches for a present. I am a engineer by trade so i have to deal with stats and calculations all day long, if I make errors people can die. By trade I have to be precise. Now my watch is on firmware version 1601 so perhaps this makes a difference. I initially found the scanwatch to be inaccurate but this was only in the first few days of ownership, in fact this is why i found this video. I now find the watch to be spot on with everything, so much so i felt I had to comment on here. I can only assume the algorithms withing's use to plot its stats is based on a constant learning system, these systems are being used in all sorts of modern tech recently. After you wear the watch for a few days this would mean the accuracy consistently improves removing all the false negative hits from its data. I use a Lookee ring for sleep apnoea, this system is the world leader in sleep apnoea devices. If it gets heart rate and blood oxygenation data wrong people can die. Lookee ring monitors heart rate and oxygen result and wakes people from sleep in emergencies. I have compared both devices on heart rate and oxygenation results and they are 100% spot on during workouts. Heart rate increases and decreases from 50 to 150 and levels out at all the variations between. I beleave this watch has to be worn for a few days to improve its data results and the constant learning system is ultimately the best system as results will always outshine none adaptive systems. Dont forget this is the latest tech at time of writting this, learning systems are a brand new tech being implimented everywhere in the last few months. When I exercise I use a thin neopram wrist band over the watch to prevent it from being scratched on my mountain bike and while practicing crav maga, perhaps this makes a difference I cant say for sure. I will test it without it on soon. I am not a fan of the make or any other make, I don’t work for any company involved with any watch. The battery life on this thing outshines any other smart watch, it looks classy and its accuracy is spot on. To be fair I don’t think its this guy’s fault he’s reviewed the watch in the way he has, but I dont think he has given the software algorithms time to do their thing and to constantly remove the false negatives from results. I also notice the guys graphs are on different scales when he compares which make the results look further out than they are. This is a very strange error to make for a scientist or an engineer like me when presenting data, we all deal in precision all the time. I also think a comparison needs to be made next to the same tech, using a chest strap is great but we all know they are all more accurate than any watch. They use totally different technology to get your heart rate. The band will always react faster to changes in heart rate speed, its a dedicated heart monitor designed for sports alone. No watch will react to changes as fast as the band due to the different tech being used. Don’t let this video put you off a great watch. I will make a video myself soon i think, and do the same comparisons so you can see the results for yourself. One thing i will say as a negative is i visited the zoo the other day and the watched thought i was cycling around it. I was pushing a push chair. You can delete this event from the watch easily enough though. Also I would say to people sending their watches back, keep it on for a few days and you will see what i mean. In the rush to get your refund your missing out on a great bit of tech here.

Related to the accuracy issues with the HR monitor, will you re-evaluate the situation some time soon? I watched a lot of reviews and user comments for the Scanwatch and it seems that some early SW bugs need to be corrected, I'm hoping there will be a fix for the HR monitor too. In case you get some SW update, it would be nice to know if they finally managed to fix the issue. Thanks again for the great work, keep it coming!

    Very professional review Rob, thanks for this. When you highlighted the missing heart data that triggered me. I know someone who’s using the Freestyle Libre system to measure glucose. It has a lot of good aspects but they have also had very poor measurements at night from time to time, possibly from lying on the sensor. It really should be a requirement of any system to distinguish between a bad measurement and a bad result although this might be difficult in some cases and it doesn’t seem device makers approach this uniformly. Maybe something to add to reviews? BW, Shane

    Hi Shane! For sure, some kind of indication of data quality would be great! I used the Freestyle without much problems myself, but I can imagine it could be prone to errors. I sleep on my back most of the time, so that should be OK. Or maybe it also depends on how the "needle" went into the skin. Thanks for your feedback, it really helps! Have a great day!

    Love my scanwatch 42mm. It's the most comfortable watch to wear with the supplied strap. I find my oxygen measurement works fine and never gone below 97% so feel at least mine is accurate. It's certainly more accurate then my Garmin viviomove luxe with varies by a mile and off. Maybe they have improved the software with the scanwatch since your reviews, love mine. Has great step counting and fairly close. It's certainly better than my Garmin. But no watch can be totally accurate as your tests show.

It also has sleep tracking (with REM stages), continuous heart rate tracking, SPO2 sensor (tracks at night automatically), and some interesting stuff like stress level and body battery (looks like based on HRV data). And it looks awesome, like a minimal classical watch with hidden coloured displays. It would be great to watch such "in depth review" for this model. Thanks!

I realize that all this work you put into these watches take a long time to do and looking back at a unit is most likely not in your plans.

    At 5:50 this representing of 50% of the hart beats might be an aliasing error in the measurement. These kind of errors pop up when the signal samples are missed out due slow measurement intervals. If that is really the case then the designers probably won't tell you that... Slow measurement intervals improve battery life, but won't help to get accurate measurements. This should be fixable with an software update. But thanks for your review, I really love this watch and I hope the problem will be fixed...

I cannot trust the "analog" time to be correct at all, and have to reset it several times a day. Many owners seem to experience the same issue and Withings never comments or comes up with a solution. I would have got the next scanwatch. if it did not show the same issue… (but it does according to several forums, it does )

However, recently they released a new version of the software, though this I suspect was more focussed on adding promised features and not on improving existing ones. Thanks for commenting!!

    Cool video, however, you focused a lot on the heart rate accuracy, and what I missed is an accuracy comparison of the oxygen levels. Most of these oxygen measurement detectors are really toys. Usually completely useless. I would be curious to see how this one competes with the finger measurement device. Same for ECG, a little comparison would be cool. Keep it up, thumbs up!

    I really like the accuracy of these reviews. But it would also be valuable to start from the other end: Who needs which measurements and with which accuracy? Which measurements are good predictors of what? And what are the technical options and costs for getting those devices? Would your Hausarzt be able to use these (analyzed) data for a good purpose? What would you buy for your frail Oma? Wonders an unquantified ex-scientist.

    Hi Charles! I think if you have a device that tracks your heart rate and also tracks your Heart Rate variability (at night), you can already get a pretty good impression of your general health and fitness. An ecg of course helps to see if you have arrhythmia. So, it depends a bit on your goals... Have a great day!

Is the Withings Scanwatch the only wearable that constantly (well, every 10 mins) monitors for this? I see it has an irregular heartbeat alert - that's checking BPM vs activity? I bought a Motiv Ring mistakingly thinking it would alert me for something like this. Keen to avoid making that expensive mistake again if I can.

    When you talk about features, you're missing the fact that they told us that some features would be missing for the early adopters, to be filled in later. "Scanwatch will be continuously improved through several successive updates. They will integrate your main feedbacks, and will allow you to benefit from new functions, in particular automatic notifications in the event of atrial fibrillation or a heart rate that is too high or too low, as well as continuous monitoring of SpO2 during the night. Another update will concern the detection of sleep apnea. Upon receipt of your SW, you can activate the respiratory scan feature which will detect possible respiratory disturbances during the night, potential signs of sleep apnea. A clinical study is in progress and on track towards obtaining medical CE marking, thus detecting apneic episodes. When you receive it, you can take advantage of the following features: • Record a medical-grade electrocardiogram (ECG) in 30 seconds, right on your wrist • Medically validated atrial fibrillation (AFib) detection via ECG • On demand medical oxygen saturation (Sp02) rate • Breathing disturbances detection during sleep • Sleep Score, light and deep sleep cycles, silent alarm and Smart Wake-Up • Automatic tracking of walking, running, swimming, cycling • Multisport tracking with continuous heart rate, connected GPS and Fitness Level via VO2max estimation • Water resistance up to 50m (5ATM) • Altimeter to count floors climbed • Notifications for calls, messages, calendar and apps • Rechargeable battery that lasts up to 30 days • Automatic synchronization via Bluetooth Low Energy® • Ability to easily share data with a healthcare professional via the Health Report As with all Withings products, ScanWatch will be continuously improved via successive updates. Updates integrate key feedback from our users, and allow you to benefit from advances that bring new features, including automatic notifications in case of atrial fibrillation, high or low heart rate alerts, as well as continuous monitoring of SpO2 during the night. Another update will concern the detection of sleep apnea. Upon receipt of your ScanWatch, you will be able to activate the Respiratory Scan feature which will detect any breathing disturbances during the night, known to be potential signs of sleep apnea. A clinical study concerning this feature is well underway, and we fully expect ScanWatch will obtain the medical CE marking to detect apneic episodes."

    I know this is close to two years late lmao, but the likely reason the Scanwatch didn't measure your first round of cardio correctly is because there's a certain amount of time it takes until the watch will "start your workout" which can be changed. Just a guess, but perhaps yours was set to 10 minutes until it started the workout. I don't have the scanwatch yet, but I hope that this start workout feature can be set manually as well, instead of waiting.

Ich suche seit schon paar Wochen eine richtige gute Uhr, eher medizinische Uhr, vielleicht wie die Withings, egal ob WhatsApp s lesen kann oder nicht das ist nicht wichtig für mich. Was ist deiner Meinung nach das beste Gerät um Herzrhymusströrungen zu erkennen? Fibrilation atrial, Arrhythmien, und solche Sachen? Ich vermute Polar, wenn sie das als Referenz benutzen? Oder gibt es was besseres, die withings Uhr oder direkt eine von der Polar marke oder Fitbit / Apple watch?? Sie haben schon verschiedene getestet. Welche ist deutlich besser? Vielen Dank nochmals. Wie sie die Uhren und Funktionen testen, ist einfach Toll.
