Product Overview
The Withings ScanWatch Nova is a limited-edition hybrid smartwatch that blends the timeless appeal of a diver-inspired timepiece with cutting-edge health monitoring technology. Designed for both men and women, it delivers medical-grade insights into vital aspects of wellness—including heart, respiratory, sleep, and activity health—without compromising on style or simplicity. Unlike typical fitness trackers, the ScanWatch Nova operates quietly in the background, offering continuous monitoring and intelligent alerts while maintaining the look and feel of a premium analog watch. Its robust stainless steel construction ensures durability, while advanced sensors work around the clock to support proactive health awareness. With up to 30 days of battery life on a single charge, it’s built for real life—whether you’re traveling, working irregular hours, or simply prefer fewer charging interruptions. Compatible with both Apple iOS and Android devices, it seamlessly syncs data through the Withings Health Mate app, turning daily wear into a meaningful source of personal health insight.
Key Features
- Proactive Heart Health Tracking – The ScanWatch Nova monitors your heart rate continuously throughout the day and night. If your heart rate falls outside typical resting ranges, the watch can notify you—helping flag potential irregularities early. Overnight heart rate variability (HRV) tracking adds another layer of insight, measuring how well your body recovers and adapts, which is a key indicator of cardiovascular resilience and overall stress levels. This data accumulates over time, allowing you to observe trends and discuss meaningful changes with your healthcare provider.
- 24/7 Temperature Monitoring – Powered by the proprietary TempTech24/7 module, the watch tracks your baseline body temperature and detects subtle changes that could signal the early stages of illness, such as fever or inflammation. This feature is especially useful during seasonal shifts or when monitoring recovery. It also supports fitness optimization by identifying temperature variation zones during workouts, helping you adjust intensity based on real-time physiological feedback—ensuring you train smarter, not just harder.
- Advanced Respiratory Insights – The ScanWatch Nova measures blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) both on demand and continuously during sleep. This allows for the detection of potential breathing disturbances, including signs of sleep apnea. By tracking overnight SpO2 levels, users gain valuable insight into respiratory efficiency and sleep quality, which can be crucial for those managing respiratory conditions or seeking to improve overall lung health.
- Comprehensive Sleep Tracker – Sleep is foundational to health, and the ScanWatch Nova provides detailed analysis to help you understand your rest. It tracks total sleep duration, time spent in light and deep sleep stages, frequency of awakenings, and sleep regularity across nights. Each morning, you receive a personalized Sleep Quality Score, summarizing how restorative your sleep was. These insights empower users to identify patterns—such as inconsistent bedtimes or frequent interruptions—and make informed adjustments to improve rest.
- Advanced Activity Tracking – The watch automatically recognizes over 40 different physical activities, from walking and running to swimming and cycling. Using real-time heart rate zones, it guides your effort during workouts to help you stay in optimal training ranges. It also estimates your VO2 max—a key metric of cardiovascular fitness—giving you a clear picture of your aerobic capacity. For outdoor activities, connected GPS tracks your route and distance accurately, syncing with your smartphone to map runs, hikes, or bike rides without needing to carry your phone.

Benefits & Use Cases
The ScanWatch Nova is ideal for individuals who prioritize health but don’t want to sacrifice style or convenience.

Sleep tracking offers actionable feedback for improving rest, which impacts energy, mood, and long-term well-being. Thanks to broad compatibility with iOS and Android, the watch integrates smoothly into most digital ecosystems, delivering insights through the intuitive Withings Health Mate app.
Important Notes
This is a limited-edition model that merges high-end watch craftsmanship with advanced health technology. While it provides extensive health monitoring capabilities, it is not a medical device and should not replace professional diagnosis or treatment. Always consult a healthcare provider for medical concerns. The watch requires periodic syncing with the Withings Health Mate app to access full data and insights. To maintain accuracy and longevity, keep the device clean and dry, especially after sweating or exposure to moisture. The package includes the ScanWatch Nova and a charging cable.
