Withings ScanWatch Light

iPhone and AndroidPaid tier: Withings+

Withings' entry hybrid keeps the analog dial, 35-day battery and 24/7 heart-rate tracking with high and low heart-rate alerts, but drops ScanWatch 2's ECG, SpO2, temperature sensing and overnight HRV. Gorilla Glass replaces sapphire, and the 37 mm case is 9.85 mm thick and weighs 27.1 g without strap. Sleep stages, cycle tracking and 40+ workout modes remain.

  • Headline: Withings: "Up to 35-day battery life".
  • The analog hands show the time continuously; the small grayscale OLED lights on demand. Withings quotes a 2-hour full charge.

The ring’s outer track is the headline claim; the inner two are the always-on and GPS figures as a share of it. An empty track means Withings does not publish that figure. Why the figures differ

Phones, paid tier and updates

iPhone:
Yes.
Android:
Yes.
Same on iPhone and Android: incoming calls are displayed and app and message notifications arrive, with no replies or apps on the watch. The Withings App needs iOS 18 or Android 12 and higher.
Paid tier:
Withings+, $99.5/year.
Baseline health data stays free in the Withings app. Withings+ adds the Readiness Indicator ("Unlocked with 1-Month Free Trial to Withings+"), the AI Health Assistant and a nutritionist consultation; Cardio Check-Up does not apply because this watch has no ECG.
Watch plus two years of Withings+: ~$449.
Software updates:
Withings does not publish a guaranteed number of update years for this model.

Cleared health features

Withings cites no regulator clearance for a health feature on this model. Its heart-rate, sleep and blood-oxygen readings are wellness features.

A clearance says what a feature is allowed to claim, not that it replaces a doctor. Cleared versus wellness features

What the extra money buys: The cheapest Withings hybrid here. 2 pricier siblings in the same line: Withings ScanWatch 2, Withings ScanWatch Nova.

Features, per Withings

  • 24/7 heart rate with high and low heart-rate notifications
  • Sleep stages, duration, interruptions and smart wake-up
  • Cycle tracking with symptom logging
  • Cardiac Coherence breathing sessions
  • 37 mm stainless steel case, 9.85 mm thick, Gorilla Glass
  • Up to 35-day battery

Where the specs put it ahead

  • At 9.85 mm thick and 27.1 g it is the slimmest and lightest ScanWatch
  • A month between charges, far beyond any touchscreen smartwatch
  • Sleep and heart-rate alerts work fully without a subscription
  • Reads as a plain analog watch rather than a gadget

What it gives up

  • No ECG, SpO2 or temperature tracking, which ScanWatch 2 has
  • No GPS among its listed sensors
  • Readiness scores need Withings+
  • Single 37 mm size

The two lists above are drawn from the maker’s own pages and prices, not from owner reports. Where owner discussion has been read it appears in its own section below, so the two are never mistaken for each other.

What owners say

No owner discussion has been read for the Withings ScanWatch Light yet. This section stays empty until there is something real to put in it.
