As an avid scuba diver, I’m all the time somewhat confused by “dive watches”. Certain, the 10-bar water resistance means that you may go to 100 meters (300 ft), which is deeper than any leisure diver would — however if you happen to’re going to these depths, you’d be effectively suggested to carry an actual dive pc alongside. Nonetheless, the type is snazzy; the luminescent watch face and the rotating bezel make it look even much less like a sensible watch, which is a bonus, if you happen to, like me, care about such issues.
Carrying a $499 price ticket, it isn’t low-cost, however with a formidable set of health-focused options and attractiveness, it’s nonetheless fairly priced. The watch can go as much as a month on a single cost, and might run ECGs, coronary heart price and O2 sensors, exercise monitoring and sleep monitoring.
“The luxurious design and strong well being options of ScanWatch Horizon are a terrific complement to the present ScanWatch line and we’re delighted to carry it to the U.S.,” mentioned Mathieu Letombe, CEO of Withings. “Subtle well being units that monitor superior vitals should not have to appear like hospital tools. With the unique ScanWatch, the elegant Rose Gold model and now ScanWatch Horizon, we have now a mode possibility to fulfill each trend desire, social event and price range.”
