Withings ScanWatch Lightchat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

Battery performance varies significantly between users: intensive sleep scans drain the battery quickly in week one, and one user saw a drop from 53% to 22% in a week with minimal notifications enabled, while reviewers await a second week to confirm if this was a fluke.

The charger is probably poorly optimised and can't handle other USB C cables higher maximum wattage output, and does not mean you need to use the included cable. Just that it severaly limits what cables are compatible. Which still sucks.launch

My experience with the battery is different. I started using the watch on Friday the 22nd. Without charging it. When I took it out of the box it was at 53%. Yesterday I charged it for the first time, 7 days later, it was at 22%. I also have only three notifications enabled, although when I'm not at work I select do not disturb mode.launch

@Oasilun

Battery life is lower in the first week because the sleep tests are extremely battery-hungry, but as time goes by (when set to automatic by default), the sleep scan spaces out if all goes well, and the battery lasts much longer, so we'll have to see for you in the second week.launch

I am using this watch a 2nd week before I give my final review. Hopefully the battery issue was just a fluke!launch

Multiple commenters describe the included charger as cheap-looking, especially compared to the original ScanWatch, and note it appears poorly optimized, limiting compatibility with higher-wattage third-party USB-C cables.

Multiple commenters voice strong dissatisfaction with Withings' customer service, calling it worse than useless and citing ongoing incompetence, with one urging the company to fix support before releasing new models.

@markemsworth4235

I wouldn't purchase anything with Withings on it. Your customer service is worse than useless.launch

Before releasing a new model, perhaps you should fix the incompetence and bad faith of your customer servicelaunch

A prior owner complains the curved glass on the original ScanWatch reflects light annoyingly, and is unsure whether the Light or ScanWatch 2 actually fixes this with flat glass, expressing surprise Withings may have missed the upgrade.

@PBens

I have the original ScanWatch and the only gripe I have is its curved glass, which reflects all the light very annoyingly. From your video it seems that the glass on the ScanWatch Light is flat, as in the ScanWatch Horizon? That would be awesome. I also watched some videos of the ScanWatch 2, and the glass seems to be still curved. If that is correct, it surprises me that Withings missed the chance to upgrade the glass on the redesign, because many customers complained about the curved glass reflections.launch

A commenter questions why the digital display looks bluish in review videos compared to the sharp monochrome look shown in official Withings marketing, unsure if it's a camera artifact or an actual display issue.

@dinkodraganovic1793

In Withings' videos and pictures, the digital display looks very nice, sharp and monochrome. However, on all the review videos so far, the digital font looks very bluish. Does this have to do with the recording/camera, or does the display also look like this in real life?launch

A potential buyer backed out after discovering a subscription tied to the watch, citing subscription fatigue from too many existing recurring charges.

@x3rs3s

I almost bought the watch. Then I saw the subscription attached to it. \nAlmost! 😅\n\nWhen i look at my bank statement.., all i see are subscriptions so there's no way i am going to add another one!launch

A user reports notifications make a grinding noise and asks how to access notification settings later, suggesting some confusion around the notification configuration experience.

@Debbie-jb9vc

How do I get back to the notification settings if I want to change them later? And when you receive a notification is there a sound? Mine seems to make a grinding noise.launch
