Smartwatches are pretty ugly, right? We pretend otherwise because they're so useful, but plenty of people prefer luxury watches, or even a cheap watch from a discount department store. If you want a middle ground — a hybrid watch that tracks your health and shows basic notifications but still looks stylish — the Withings ScanWatch 2 or ScanWatch Nova is your best bet.

The ScanWatch 2 tracks your heart rate, sleep stages, breathing quality, nightly blood oxygen, and menstrual cycles like most smartwatches, but that just scratches the surface. It passively catches irregular heart rhythm like an Apple or Fitbit watch, and it continuously measures your skin temperature, even during the day, so you know immediately if you're showing signs of sickness or "overheating" for too long during workouts.

The Withings ScanWatch 2 is available in two sizes and five finishes — Black, Pearl White, Blue, Blue with Rose Gold, or Sand with Rose Gold — allowing you to tailor it to your personal style. If you buy from Withings, you can also select unique straps like leather or metal.

Its tiny grayscale cutout will be an adjustment for anyone coming from a smartwatch, but it has just enough space to tell you whether to check your phone or not; otherwise, it'll be much less of a distraction.

✅Recommended if: You're primarily interested in health tracking and a classic watch aesthetic, without other distracting features or an artificial smartwatch look. You already have a Withings scale and want to pair health insights with weight data.

❌Skip this deal if: You want a smartwatch that doesn't skimp on features and includes a display that's much easier to read; or, you'd prefer a health-tracking tool that's even more subtle, like a Whoop band.

You can see how the OLED cutout blends in normally, but displays info clearly (though narrowly) when you receive a notification or use the crown to rotate through health options. I like the 42mm ScanWatch that Withings sent, but the 38mm finish is a better option for folks with narrow wrists because it weighs 18g less and looks more classically petite.

An alternative for folks that usually drop Rolex-level money on a watch is the ScanWatch Nova, which features the same health and battery specs but adds a diver-style design with a rotating stainless steel bezel and anti-reflective sapphire glass. It's quite expensive, but Cyber Monday knocks the price down $90 to $509 on Amazon, or $489 on Withings's site with the aforementioned newsletter discount.

These deals end at midnight, so it's best to act fast! Whether you buy from Amazon or Withings, you have until January 31 to return it, so you have time to decide whether a hybrid smartwatch is right for you, or if you can't do without a smartwatch display.
