Withings, known for its healthproproducts, is presenting the ScanWatch Nova Brilliant Edition and the Cardio Check-Up at IFA 2024. The hybrid smartwatch is intended to impress with its elegance and comprehensive health monitoring. The Cardio Check-Up, on the other hand, is intended to close the gap between specialists and patients in medical care.
The French manufacturer is taking advantage of the attention at the IFA 2024 in Berlin to present two new products. The first expands the ScanWatch range just in time for the Christmas season, and the Cardio Check-Up expands the company's own Withings+ subscription.

Elegant and smart: ScanWatch Nova Brilliant Edition
The ScanWatch Nova Brilliant Edition impresses at first glance with its minimalist and timeless design. The 39 mm case, especially for narrower wrists, is available in two versions: titanium silver and a combination of silver and gold. A highlight is the high-quality workmanship, including a grooved bezel and a durable sapphire crystal. The watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters and is equipped with a robust, 5-link bracelet.
In addition, the analogue-style OLED display offers functions such as heart rate measurement and smartphone notifications. The elegant look makes the watch versatile - from business meetings to festive occasions.
Comprehensive health functions
In addition to the attractive design, the ScanWatch Nova Brilliant Edition offers extensive health functions. With a medically accurate electrocardiogram (ECG), the watch can detect atrial fibrillation. The measurement is taken within 30 seconds by touching the bezel, and the results are immediately available in the app. This function has proven its worth since 2020 - Withings devices are said to have already detected over two million cases of atrial fibrillation.
In addition to the ECG, the watch also offers the option of monitoring temperature fluctuations that could indicate the onset of an illness. Other functions include monitoring blood oxygen levels (SpO2) and analyzing nighttime breathing disorders. For more restful sleep, the watch provides detailed insights into sleep phases and sleep quality. It also promotes increased activity through comprehensive tracking of steps, calories, elevation and training routes. The ScanWatch automatically recognizes over 40 different activities and measures VO2 Max, an important indicator of physical fitness.
Availability and price
The ScanWatch Nova Brilliant Edition will be available in the EU and the USA from the beginning of November 2024. The RRP is 599,95 euros.
