I've never been a smartwatch person. Not only do I find them far less charming, but I also don’t want to live with what’s pretty much a mini smartphone strapped on my wrist. For people like me, hybrid smartwatches offer a solid middle ground: they’ve got the looks of a classic timepiece and the brains of a modern smartwatch.
I’ve worn the original Withings ScanWatch for over a year and its new successor adds a handful of key upgrades. It may be the new hybrid smartwatch to beat, but is it one of the best smartwatches, too?
