I’ve never really respected hybrid smartwatches. Companies slap analog hands on a digital watch and call it a hybrid, but the design still feels like a piece of tech on your wrist. To be a true hybrid, classic watchmaking and aesthetics must be given more than a passing nod. No one is expecting high horology, but more can be done to win the respect of watch enthusiasts. Withings attempts to strike that balance with the ScanWatch 2. It features a premium build quality and an ambitious array of smartwatch features, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it should wind up on your wrist.
