Hybrid smartwatches

4 models · 2 makers, ~$250–$600

Hybrids put analog hands over a small screen. They look like a watch first, track heart rate and sleep, and run for weeks, but give up maps, apps and most workout screens. The Withings models carry FDA-cleared ECG in a body that does not look like a gadget.

Ordered by price, lowest first.
