If you want a smartwatch that tracks your health but doesn’t look like a piece of tech on your wrist, choosing from the usual suspects is quite challenging. What you should do instead is look at the Withings ScanWatch 2. On the surface, it appears to be a classy traditional watch, but it hides some impressive and highly accurate health-monitoring tech inside.
Sounds ideal, right? I’ve been wearing it for a while to see if it lives up to expectations.
