Withings, a leader in the hybrid smartwatch space, is back with a refined take on their popular ScanWatch Nova. Unveiled at IFA 2024, the ScanWatch Nova Brilliant Edition builds upon its predecessor’s foundation with a focus on premium materials and subtle design enhancements.
While the core functionality remains largely unchanged, the Brilliant Edition distinguishes itself with a titanium bezel shielded by sapphire crystal, adding a touch of luxury to the classic design. It also comes in a new 39mm size option,catering to those seeking a more compact wearable. Available in both titanium silver and a striking silver/gold combination, the Brilliant Edition is priced competitively at $590/€600/£550, aligning with the standard ScanWatch Nova.]
Under the hood, the Brilliant Edition boasts the same impressive health-tracking capabilities that have made the ScanWatch Nova a favorite among health-conscious individuals. Features such as on-demand medical-grade ECG, early illness detection through temperature tracking, blood oxygen monitoring, and comprehensive sleep analysis empower users to take control of their well-being. Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the automatic activity recognition, step tracking, and connected GPS for mapping workout routes.
Withings claims an impressive 30-day battery life for the Brilliant Edition, though actual usage will naturally impact longevity. The watch is also water-resistant up to 5ATM, making it suitable for swimming and other water-based activities.
The ScanWatch Nova Brilliant Edition is poised to hit shelves in November, offering a compelling option for those seeking a stylish and feature-rich hybrid smartwatch. While it may not represent a radical departure from the original ScanWatch Nova, the subtle refinements and focus on premium materials make it an attractive choice for individuals who value both form and function in their wearable technology.
