Design and Build

The ScanWatch Nova Brilliant Edition features a smaller 39mm case, ideal for slimmer wrists or those who prefer a more compact watch. It comes in two finishes: titanium silver and a distinctive silver-and-gold bicolor option. The watch includes a sapphire glass face for extra durability and a 5-link bracelet. Despite its elegant design, it retains the hybrid smartwatch functionality Withings is known for.

• ECG (Electrocardiogram) for detecting atrial fibrillation and other heart issues in 30 seconds.
• Blood oxygen monitoring (SpO2) to track oxygen levels and monitor breathing disturbances during sleep.
• Sleep tracking that provides insights into sleep phases, depth, and quality.
• Fitness tracking for over 40 activities, with connected GPS for mapping workouts via a smartphone, and fitness assessments using VO2 Max.

Battery and Durability

This model offers a 30-day battery life, typical of Withings’ hybrid watches, depending on usage. It is also water-resistant up to 50 meters, making it suitable for swimming and other water activities.

Price and Availability

The ScanWatch Nova Brilliant Edition is scheduled for release in November 2024, priced at $599.95, €599.95, or £549.95, positioning it as a premium but competitively priced luxury smartwatch.
