ECG watches are revolutionizing the way we monitor our heart health. With advanced technology, these connected watches allow you to perform real-time electrocardiograms (ECGs), providing continuous and accurate tracking of your heart rate and heart rhythm. Discover how owning an ECG watch can benefit your health and potentially save lives by detecting irregular heart rhythms and other heart conditions early, allowing you to take quick action with a medical professional. These watches are intended for use by people who want to keep a close eye on their heart health.
An ECG watch enables comprehensive heart health monitoring. By recording the electrical activity of the heart, these connected watches can detect anomalies such as atrial fibrillation. Afib can be a major risk factor for strokes. With access to precise data on your heart rhythm, including sinus rhythm and irregular heart rhythms, you can take preventive measures and consult a healthcare professional if needed. The ability to use the ECG feature to monitor electrical signals in your heart can be crucial for early detection.
« I'm writing to you today because my Withings watch saved my life. One morning when I woke up, I felt a tingling sensation in my chest, and I performed an electrocardiogram, which told me that I was having atrial fibrillations. I read the instructions and was advised to see a doctor. So I went to hospital and had a heart attack when I got there. So I say a big thank you to Withings and its app! »
The ability to perform an electrocardiogram at any time with an ECG watch, like ScanWatch 2 or ScanWatch Nova, can be life-saving.* By quickly detecting irregularities in your heart rate and heart beats, you can act before serious problems develop. For instance, if you experience palpitations or chest pain during physical activities like running, you can immediately check your heart rate and take appropriate action. However, please note: ScanWatch does not detect signs of a heart attack. If you think you need immediate medical attention, contact emergency services. The single-lead ECG feature allows for quick and easy monitoring, ensuring you will receive timely notifications about any irregular heart rhythm.
*Disclaimer: these watches are intended to diagnose irregular heart rhythms and atrial fibrillation, but not heart attacks.
2 million signs of atrial fibrillation have been detected with an electrocardiogram from a Withings product.*
Beyond monitoring heart health, ECG watches offer sleep and physical activity tracking features. Quality sleep is essential for optimal heart health, and sleep tracking helps you understand and improve your sleep patterns. Moreover, by monitoring your physical activity, you can ensure you are getting enough exercise to maintain a healthy heart. Tracking your heartbeats can provide a comprehensive view of your cardiovascular health. Wearable technology like this can be a game-changer for those experiencing any symptoms related to heart health.
ECG watches are designed for user-friendly operation and accessibility. The intuitive interface of the free Withings health app allows you to easily track your heart health data and share ECG results with your doctor. Our connected watches offer continuous monitoring and real-time alerts, enabling you to stay informed and proactive about your heart health.

The health app combined to the watch also provides irregular rhythm notifications, ensuring you are always aware of your heart's status.
