The ScanWatch Nova crams the ScanWatch 2’s {hardware} right into a diver’s watch physique and appears way more luxurious than it really prices. And, after all, it’s bought all the flowery well being and health tools you may be concerned with shopping for for a beloved grownup.

Buried inside that case is a built-in ECG, coronary heart price and oximeter, in addition to a temperature sensor. You’ll get sleep monitoring, computerized exercise monitoring and entry to the very best in school Withings Well being app. However for me, essentially the most compelling characteristic is the 30-day battery life, which will provide you with, uh, 29 and a half extra days of life on a single cost than the comparable Apple Watch.
