I’ve been loving hybrid watches from Withings for over a decade, putting all the health tech you need into an analog watch case. The ScanWatch Nova It crams the ScanWatch 2’s hardware into a dive watch case and looks way more luxurious than it costs. And of course, there’s all the great health and fitness equipment you might be interested in buying for your lovely senior.
Buried inside this case is an internal ECG, heart rate and oximeter, as well as a temperature sensor. You’ll get sleep monitoring, automatic activity tracking, and access to the best-in-class Withings Health app. But the most attractive feature for me is the 30-day battery life, which will give you 29 and a half days more on a single charge than the comparable Apple Watch.
In fact, the most attractive feature is the analog subdial, which will track your step count set to a target that suits you. If it’s late in the day and you want to make sure you hit 10,000 steps, this information is there. So it’s useful, practical, stylish and beats many other smartwatches on the market – any questions? – DC
