Withings Unveils the ScanWatch Nova Brilliant Edition A Connected Luxury Watch With Health Tracking Features

Today at IFA, Withings unveiled its latest innovation, the ScanWatch Nova Brilliant Edition. 

The sibling of the ScanWatch NOVA, which launched in December last year, the Brilliant Edition will be available in November 2024. It features a smaller 39mm case, catering to those with smaller wrists or anyone preferring a compact design.

This model is the most premium offering in Withings’ range, available in titanium silver and a two-tone silver and gold finish. Its design includes a fluted bezel and durable sapphire glass face, combining style with resistance to wear. 

Designed for active users, it is water-resistant up to 50 meters (5ATM) and comes equipped with a 5-link bracelet, for comfort and durability. The hybrid smartwatch combines analog charm with modern functionality, offering heart monitoring, notifications, and messages displayed on a high-resolution OLED screen. The silver model’s titanium bezel further enhances durability, while the gold model features a unique bi-color wristband.

Featuring advanced health-tracking technology, the ScanWatch Nova Brilliant Edition offers medical-grade sensors, including an electrocardiogram (ECG) capable of detecting atrial fibrillation (AFib). Users can take a 30-second ECG reading by touching the bezel, with results accessible via the Withings app. The device also monitors body temperature changes to help with early detection of potential illness and support workout recovery. Additional features include monitoring blood oxygen (SpO2) and tracking breathing disturbances. The ScanWatch Nova Brilliant also monitors sleep quality and provides personalized improvement tips.

Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the watch’s ability to track over 40 daily activities, including walking, running, and swimming. It also assesses Fitness Levels through VO2 Max, a key indicator of aerobic capacity. Users can easily switch between a metal and an FKM wristband, both included in the box.

Available in the U.S., EU, and UK starting in November 2024, the ScanWatch Nova Brilliant Edition is priced at $599.95, €599.95, and £549.95.
