Withings Announces US Availability of Its Highly Anticipated ScanWatch Horizon – the Health Hybrid SmartWatch Inspired by the Luxury Diver Watch Tradition
Withings, pioneers of the connected health revolution, has announced the US availability of its highly anticipated ScanWatch Horizon. Available from Withings.com, Amazon, and Best Buy stores, it is the first hybrid smartwatch inspired by the luxury diver watch tradition to deliver state-of-the-art health technology. Priced $499, it can take an ECG and monitor heart rate, breathing disturbances, blood oxygen levels, sleep, and physical activity, even underwater!
The health and wellness features of this ground-breaking device are encased in a luxurious design that features sapphire-glass casing with anti-reflection coating and a stunning finish. It boasts a stainless-steel rotating bezel with laser engraved markings that incorporate the standard codes of diving practice, alongside Luminova hollow watch hands, indicators, and thick indices that allow it to be used in low light, all of which add to its high-end design.
For the classic diver watch look, ScanWatch Horizon comes with a stainless-steel band as well as a more elasticated, rubberised wristband for sports usage. In addition, it has an impressive 30-day battery life and 10 ATM water resistance, making it the perfect accessory for swimming, snorkelling, and water sports. All of which can be monitored using its sport tech features and the connected Health Mate app. You can even take an ECG while under water!
