Last year we saw Withings launch a diver-style watch with 100m of water resistance with the ScanWatch Horizon. Now Withings is focused on its core ScanWatch wearables.
The company announced the two new models in a press release today:
With two new models, ScanWatch 2 and ScanWatch Light, Withings provides a lineup to meet multiple lifestyle and health needs. ScanWatch 2 becomes its flagship health tracker, optimized for continuous health assessments of advanced metrics, while ScanWatch Light offers a robust assessment of daily health at a price point that is as attractive as its design.

Along with the new capabilities of the ScanWatch 2, Withings says it also features upgraded software:
As well as measuring a greater array of medical stats, updates to the Withings HealthSense OS mean ScanWatch 2 is more efficient. HealthSense sees an update to PowerSense Pro, part of the OS that identifies the best time to launch a health measurement and send heart health1 notifications that maximize battery life and ensure recording accuracy.
Withings has opened pre-orders for the ScanWatch 2 with finishes available in silver Black (42mm), silver white (38mm), silver black (38mm), and rose gold sand face (38mm). The company says it will launch a silver white face (42mm) and rose gold blue face (38mm) in the future.
General availability at retailers is set to begin in October.
ScanWatch Light
For those who don’t need all the features of the ScanWatch 2 (no temp tracking, ECG, heart rate notifications, etc.), Withings has also launched the ScanWatch Light priced at $249.95.
