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

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:11.519
last five years but withings reached out and sponsored this video to show off

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:17.199
their scan watch horizon which is a very different kind of smartwatch it's

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

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

00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:32.719
but the one that we're going to talk about today is the scan watch horizon

00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:36.800
whose claims to fame are several actually it's validated to double the

00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:43.120
depth of water resistance compared to the regular scan watch it's larger and

00:00:40.559 --> 00:00:47.680
much more premium looking and feeling i actually got a lot of comments on the

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:12.479
really well oh you know what my right and my left wrist are extremely

00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:15.759
different you can actually see the whole ARM is very different that's badminton

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:20.799
arms for you right on that subject let's talk about

00:01:18.479 --> 00:01:24.560
what makes a within scan watch really special they've got a clinically

00:01:22.320 --> 00:01:29.439
validated spo2 sensor as well as a clinically validated ecg sensor at a

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

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

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:41.920
the ecg sensor can and cannot do so what

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

00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:50.000
indicator of underlying medical conditions and can be an important tool

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:54.399
in your toolkit to monitor your general cardiac health and not detect heart

00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:58.479
attacks and other medical conditions so what they're saying is it only does

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

00:02:00.399 --> 00:02:06.000
medical professional whenever there's anything concerning an important organ

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

00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:13.120
pick a cool state how about nebraska

00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:21.120
what why you hating on nebraska nebraskans are you going to take that

00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:25.599
sorry first let's take your ecg the interface

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

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

00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:36.959
it'll actually detect your workouts with a reasonable level of accuracy it

00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:42.720
managed to confuse go-karting with riding a bike at one point but overall

00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:42.720
it's actually been pretty solid

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

00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:55.040
48 hours where it gets reviewed it will be sent back and will be available

00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:59.040
within the app oh the other big one is the ability to check your blood oxygen

00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:03.200
saturation level basically just put your hand on it 30 seconds

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

00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:10.480
convenient it does a nice little buzz

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:14.480
when you're done 98 yes honestly speaking though for my part

00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:19.440
the cooler features of the smartwatch are things that help me day to day like

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

00:03:22.239 --> 00:03:27.200
with every freaking smart watch out there is that you end up charging these

00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:30.879
things every day or in many cases running out of battery on the same day i

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

00:03:32.799 --> 00:03:38.319
even have it connected to a phone because i don't use that brand of phone

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

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

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

00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:57.120
even higher i also really appreciate being able to tell the time anytime i

00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.879
want now you can configure the scan watch to use a gesture in order to

00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:05.439
activate the display you can press a button to activate the display or if

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

00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:14.159
amazing right what an innovation setting the time on it is super easy that's kind

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

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:20.560
video but basically you just set up the app

00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:24.479
the watch hands just all point to 12 on

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

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

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

00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:39.199
at 12 and then it like aligns and then it goes to exactly the

00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:42.160
right time this one honestly i think looks better

00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:45.040
personally oh i guess we can talk about their app a little bit you can select

00:04:43.440 --> 00:04:48.800
which applications you want to receive notifications from you can see summaries

00:04:47.120 --> 00:05:10.639
of your workouts as well as your daily steps

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

00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:21.680
on my steps lately which is pretty sick my workouts too i've been moving so

00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:25.520
that's why basically every day i'm doing something that counts as a workout yes

00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:29.759
go Linus you can log your food intake man now you

00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:35.039
guys got all this information about me best day 15 000 freaking steps what did

00:05:32.479 --> 00:05:38.000
i do on monday may 16th basically there's lots of useful little things in

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

00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:45.120
it's not gonna just be like breathe yes

00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:49.680
i'm breathing now isn't a good time the kind of thing

00:05:47.280 --> 00:05:53.120
that just for me personally absolutely drives me up the wall well

00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:57.600
couple little things i didn't mention the

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

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

00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:12.160
like google fit samsung health strava oh and the glasses sapphire glass which i

00:06:10.080 --> 00:06:15.600
have not been successful at scratching yet so that's definitely a good thing as

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

00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:25.440
sensors you've got the very traditional looking watch that actually functions

00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:30.479
like a freaking watch but also has smart functionality i think

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

00:06:32.400 --> 00:06:39.680
health monitoring features and of course the actually very robust and useful app

00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:43.360
