Withings ScanWatch 2 & Body Scan Review: The Ultimate Connected Health Ecosystem

Withings: Clinical-Grade Health at Home

In the world of health tech, Withings stands out for its focus on clinical-grade accuracy and elegant design. Their ecosystem of connected devices offers some of the most reliable health metrics available to consumers.

We review the flagship ScanWatch 2 and the revolutionary Body Scan scale, and explore how Lifetrails can turn this high-fidelity data into daily wellness actions.

Withings ScanWatch 2: The Hybrid Masterpiece

The ScanWatch 2 is perfect for those who want comprehensive health tracking without the look of a "computer on their wrist." It combines a traditional analog watch face with a discreet digital screen.

• 24/7 Temperature Tracking: Monitors baseline temperature fluctuations to detect illness onset or cycle tracking.
• Heart Health: Features a medical-grade ECG and continuous heart rate monitoring.
• Respiratory Insights: Tracks respiratory rate and blood oxygen levels, crucial for sleep health.
• Battery Life: An impressive 30-day battery life means you can track your health continuously without daily charging anxiety.

Withings Body Scan: More Than Just a Scale

The Body Scan is a connected health station that redefines what a bathroom scale can do. It provides a segmental body composition analysis, breaking down fat and muscle mass for your torso, arms, and legs independently.

• 6-Lead ECG: Detects atrial fibrillation directly from the handle.
• Nerve Health: Assesses sweat gland activity in your feet to provide a score for nerve health, a key indicator of metabolic health.
• Vascular Age: Estimates the age of your arteries to give you a clearer picture of your cardiovascular health.

From Data to Action with Lifetrails

Withings devices provide incredible data, but data alone doesn't change behavior. Lifetrails bridges the gap between clinical metrics and daily life.

By syncing your Withings data to Apple Health, Lifetrails can:

• Contextualize Your Weight: Instead of just showing a number, Lifetrails correlates weight fluctuations with your sleep, activity, and nutrition data to help you understand the "why" behind the trends.
• Nerve Health Insights: Lifetrails can monitor your nerve health score over time and suggest lifestyle changes—like specific hydration or activity goals—to improve it.
• Holistic Wellness: Combine your Withings sleep data with your calendar to see how your schedule affects your rest. Lifetrails might notice that you sleep 30 minutes less on days you have early meetings and suggest a "wind-down" calendar block for the night before.

With Lifetrails, your Withings devices become part of a proactive, intelligent health system.
