Huawei Watch GT 4 (46mm) vs Withings ScanWatch 2
The Verdict
Huawei Watch GT 4 and Withings ScanWatch 2 target different smartwatch priorities. Huawei's 46mm model delivers a vibrant 1.43-inch AMOLED display with 466x466 resolution, sharper visuals compared to Withings' hybrid analog face with tiny OLED sub-display. Huawei excels at fitness tracking with built-in GPS, essential for runners and outdoor athletes, while Withings omits GPS entirely. Battery life heavily favors Withings at 30 days versus Huawei's 14 days, meaning fewer charging cycles monthly. Withings adds ECG capability for heart rhythm monitoring, a clinical feature absent on Huawei. Both include SpO2, skin temperature, heart rate, and sleep tracking with equivalent 5ATM water resistance. Withings weighs 39g versus Huawei's 48g for slightly better comfort. HarmonyOS 4 on Huawei provides deeper smartwatch features, though Withings OS keeps things minimal and reliable. At $249, Huawei offers better value for fitness enthusiasts needing GPS and vibrant display quality. Withings at $349 justifies premium pricing only if you prioritize extreme battery longevity and ECG readings over display clarity and navigation capabilities.
