This is the watch that bridges the gap between the beauty of traditional timepieces and the usability of a smartwatch. However, this is sure to improve with more users entering data into the app, and the manual workout modes work perfectly. The automatic activity detection is a work in progress, with a few instances of either not picking up activity, or thinking that we’re asleep when we’re actually merely engrossed in the fourth episode of a Netflix binge. It automatically checks your heart rate throughout the day to make sure you’re in tip top condition, notifying you if it detects a low, high or irregular heart rhythm.

Mental health is a central focus, too, with useful tips and tricks for reducing stress, and a stress tracker for you to keep on top of. The ScanWatch does much of what the best health trackers can achieve, with an impressive partner app that gives users clear information, ranging from oxygen saturation to heart rate. To look at it, you wouldn’t expect there to be smarts underneath the face: during testing, multiple people noted their surprise that this was a smartwatch, thanks to the small smart screen switching off when not in use.

Luckily, Parisian brand Withings has managed to combine the best of both worlds in the ScanWatch, a thoroughly-modern health tracker with a pleasingly-traditional aesthetic.
