00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,640
if you're anything like me you've probably been pretty frustrated by the state of the smartwatch market over the

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:11,519
last five years but withings reached out and sponsored this video to show off

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:17,199
their scan watch horizon which is a very different kind of smartwatch it's

4
00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:22,640
different in that most of it i'd say a solid 80 of it really isn't that smart

5
00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:27,119
nice by the way the one on my wrist is the scan watch and i've been using that for a few weeks

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:32,719
but the one that we're going to talk about today is the scan watch horizon

7
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:36,800
whose claims to fame are several actually it's validated to double the

8
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:43,120
depth of water resistance compared to the regular scan watch it's larger and

9
00:00:40,559 --> 00:00:47,680
much more premium looking and feeling i actually got a lot of comments on the

10
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:51,280
blue one when i was wearing it for i guess yeah i had it for a couple of

11
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:56,079
weeks and thanks to its metal band it has a much sort of heavier feel on the

12
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:59,280
wrist that i know a lot of people prefer uh the green one oh wait i thought you

13
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,640
told me the blue one was the one that was sized to my wrist i thought so two

14
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:08,240
well the blue one was the one i was wearing i know that for a fact but the green one actually fits

15
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:12,479
really well oh you know what my right and my left wrist are extremely

16
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,759
different you can actually see the whole ARM is very different that's badminton

17
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:20,799
arms for you right on that subject let's talk about

18
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:24,560
what makes a within scan watch really special they've got a clinically

19
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:29,439
validated spo2 sensor as well as a clinically validated ecg sensor at a

20
00:01:27,119 --> 00:01:33,600
moment's notice we can take an ecg let's go ahead and set that up we've got

21
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:40,159
to activate this feature before we can use it but the wizard includes some really valuable information about what

22
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,920
the ecg sensor can and cannot do so what

23
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:45,680
it does do is detect whether or not your heart rhythm is normal which can be an

24
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:50,000
indicator of underlying medical conditions and can be an important tool

25
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:54,399
in your toolkit to monitor your general cardiac health and not detect heart

26
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:58,479
attacks and other medical conditions so what they're saying is it only does

27
00:01:56,479 --> 00:02:02,159
what they say it does don't read too much into it and as always consult a

28
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:06,000
medical professional whenever there's anything concerning an important organ

29
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:13,120
like say for example your heart i'm not in a state so i guess uh let's

30
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:13,120
pick a cool state how about nebraska

31
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:21,120
what why you hating on nebraska nebraskans are you going to take that

32
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:25,599
sorry first let's take your ecg the interface

33
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:30,080
is super easy to use by the way one button and a scrolling wheel and that's

34
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:33,200
pretty much it by the way you don't have to say that you're starting a workout

35
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:36,959
it'll actually detect your workouts with a reasonable level of accuracy it

36
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:42,720
managed to confuse go-karting with riding a bike at one point but overall

37
00:02:39,519 --> 00:02:42,720
it's actually been pretty solid

38
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:51,280
and that's it 30 seconds later they've collected the data they need after 24 to

39
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:55,040
48 hours where it gets reviewed it will be sent back and will be available

40
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:59,040
within the app oh the other big one is the ability to check your blood oxygen

41
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:03,200
saturation level basically just put your hand on it 30 seconds

42
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,560
brb you could also just have it monitor it during your sleep which is a lot more

43
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:10,480
convenient it does a nice little buzz

44
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:14,480
when you're done 98 yes honestly speaking though for my part

45
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:19,440
the cooler features of the smartwatch are things that help me day to day like

46
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:24,000
the fact that the battery life is a month like that's one of my big problems

47
00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:27,200
with every freaking smart watch out there is that you end up charging these

48
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,879
things every day or in many cases running out of battery on the same day i

49
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:34,239
remember i had a watch that i was wearing for quite some time and i didn't

50
00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:38,319
even have it connected to a phone because i don't use that brand of phone

51
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:43,440
and i would still have the battery run out during the day sometimes i'm sitting here going it's not even connected via

52
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:47,440
bluetooth what is what is happening here i also love being able to well i've got

53
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:53,519
my heart rate up it's getting all elevated right now uh i also really appreciate going up

54
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:57,120
even higher i also really appreciate being able to tell the time anytime i

55
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:00,879
want now you can configure the scan watch to use a gesture in order to

56
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:05,439
activate the display you can press a button to activate the display or if

57
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:10,640
you're a super smart boy or lady then you can just read the analog time wow

58
00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:14,159
amazing right what an innovation setting the time on it is super easy that's kind

59
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:18,320
of cool i'm not going to show it because that's something that i did before the

60
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,560
video but basically you just set up the app

61
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:24,479
the watch hands just all point to 12 on

62
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:28,000
their own like kind of creepy magical and then you're like yup it's pointed at

63
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,360
12 and then if it doesn't work which it didn't on the blue one when i first set

64
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:35,440
it up then you can say no it's not pointed at 12. you turn the dial pointed

65
00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:39,199
at 12 and then it like aligns and then it goes to exactly the

66
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:42,160
right time this one honestly i think looks better

67
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:45,040
personally oh i guess we can talk about their app a little bit you can select

68
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:48,800
which applications you want to receive notifications from you can see summaries

69
00:04:47,120 --> 00:05:10,639
of your workouts as well as your daily steps

70
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:16,080
uh you can see my my trends i've been doing i've been doing pretty darn well

71
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:21,680
on my steps lately which is pretty sick my workouts too i've been moving so

72
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:25,520
that's why basically every day i'm doing something that counts as a workout yes

73
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:29,759
go Linus you can log your food intake man now you

74
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:35,039
guys got all this information about me best day 15 000 freaking steps what did

75
00:05:32,479 --> 00:05:38,000
i do on monday may 16th basically there's lots of useful little things in

76
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:42,800
here and i like that it doesn't bother you a ton you know unless you tell it to

77
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:45,120
it's not gonna just be like breathe yes

78
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:49,680
i'm breathing now isn't a good time the kind of thing

79
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:53,120
that just for me personally absolutely drives me up the wall well

80
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:57,600
couple little things i didn't mention the

81
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,880
outer bezel rotates if you're into that sort of thing and the hands are glow in

82
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:07,360
the dark which they are not on the regular scan watch it syncs with major health apps

83
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:12,160
like google fit samsung health strava oh and the glasses sapphire glass which i

84
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:15,600
have not been successful at scratching yet so that's definitely a good thing as

85
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:22,000
well i think the selling points here are pretty straightforward you've got the clinically validated spo2 and ecg

86
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:25,440
sensors you've got the very traditional looking watch that actually functions

87
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:30,479
like a freaking watch but also has smart functionality i think

88
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:35,280
a lot of people just want that alone even if it didn't have any kind of

89
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:39,680
health monitoring features and of course the actually very robust and useful app

90
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,360
