It's totally different and I kind of like it. So, let's break down the similarities and the differences side by side, the Withings ScanWatch 1 and the Withings ScanWatch 2. So, here are the two watches side by side. You can see they are very similar.

I reviewed the Withings ScanWatch 2 earlier this year, which barely uses any battery per day, tracks a ton of health data, and keeps things simple, using its tiny OLED display portion to show a little information at a time.

In this long-term review, we look at the design, comfort, battery life, sleep tracking, heart-rate monitoring, ECG features, activity tracking, workouts, recovery insights, and the overall Withings app experience. One of the biggest highlights is the battery life. With up to 35 days of battery life, the ScanWatch 2 is designed for people who don't want to constantly think about charging their smartwatch

The Withings ScanWatch 2 is a high-end hybrid smartwatch that not only looks good but is also packed with features. Furthermore, you get outstanding battery life, along with a price that's more easily affordable.

While we don't have long-term data on this model yet, Wii's products have historically held up well over time, so I expect this watch to be no different

However, if you’re looking for a stylish, classic-looking watch that focuses on health, wellbeing and long battery life rather than constant distractions, I think the ScanWatch 2 is an excellent choice.

In my opinion, a very, very nice update.

The analog face and long battery make it a strong pick for professionals who need discrete notifications and medical-grade data but do not want another device to charge every night.

During everyday use, it's incredibly reliable. Step tracking feels consistent, heart rate monitoring is dependable for casual workouts, and sleep tracking delivers detailed insights that become more useful the longer you wear it. The new body temperature sensor also quietly works in the background, helping identify changes that could indicate illness, recovery, or increased physical stress. One thing reviewers consistently praised is how effortless the experience feels. You charge it once, wear it for weeks, and almost forget it's there. That's a refreshing change if you're tired of charging your smart watch every night. But, it's not all perfect. Features and tech. Let's talk about the standout features. First is the ECG function.

Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or a tech-savvy individual, the Withings ScanWatch 2 is the ultimate companion for tracking and enhancing your well-being.

Choose the Withings ScanWatch 2 if you want long battery life, a traditional watch design, and health tracking without daily charging. Choose the Apple Watch Series 11 if you use an iPhone and want a complete smartwatch with GPS, apps, messaging, and advanced fitness tools. In short, Withings is best for battery life and health tracking, while Apple Watch is best for smart features and connectivity.

It’s a traditional looking watch that does everything the best competitors can, but in a dressier, more classic package that only needs charging once a month.

I've been wearing the Withings ScanWatch 2 for about six months, and it's become part of my daily routine. I love that it looks like a traditional watch while still tracking things like sleep, activity, workouts, and heart rate. The battery life is one of my favorite features, and I also use the upgraded Withings app for additional health insights

The Withings ScanWatch 2 is an excellent alternative to flashy, rugged smartwatches.

If you want a device that quietly watches your health instead of demanding your attention, this is it.

The ScanWatch 2 has an incredible depth of fitness and health tracking options.

T Tom's Guide Article · Jul 2026

Withings claims the ScanWatch 2 has 35 days of battery life. Based on my experience, that’s accurate: I started wearing mine on April 23rd and by July 3rd, I’d only charged it twice. Those who favor referring to the watch screen over the app are likely to find the battery drains quicker but for moderate usage, you can get at least a month of wear before charging becomes necessary.

Perhaps the most important question to ask first: Would I buy a Scanwatch 2 again? Yes, I would. But with limitations that are currently bothering me a bit.

That’s why I think the extra $100 in savings is worth it for the Light, especially since both are lacking in safety features, contactless payments, and some other bells and whistles you can get from other watches in the $350 price range. That said, if you want extras, the ScanWatch 2 also gets you a slightly more elegant look thanks to the second step-counter dial.

The ScanWatch 2 provides a wealth of data and advice in the Withings app. Some folks may find it bulky and uncomfortable for sleep, though, and it had problems distinguishing between light sleep and when I was lying awake in bed.

If your priority is elegant design plus passive health monitoring, it makes sense; if you expect full smartwatch convenience or athlete-grade training tools, it can feel overpriced.
