    Perfect summary of the status quo of Scanwatch. So much potential yet so much wrong.
    Withings have clearly sent beta test product to market and we have to put up with it. In return they will not keep customers or reputation unless they deliver on promises.

    @ ccaallen I agree with you. However, Beta does not mean obvious bugs. Beta go to the user when the company is satisfied with the development of its product. So Windows will not send a beta version of its new Windows for user to test it when they know the problems that has to be fixed in advance. They send it mainly to know the problems that they were not aware of during development. In Withings case some of the bugs are just obvious and crystal clear and actually now they don't even call their last firmware Beta, yet the bugs are still there.

    Thanks to alaabarazi, you saved me a post I was planning because your analysis is perfect and you don't need a single point. 100% according to your analysis.

    Thanks for posting this. The calories are so off, I upgraded to Withings because I thought I would get the same tracking in a more stylish case, but I just use my old tracker for workouts because it might look like crap but at least it gives me a clear idea of my performance. It's such a pity.

    It is amazing watch actually and it is a category of its own. No other company I now have similar product with such design philosophy. They are trying slowly to fix the problems.

    This has been an issue since the first 1000 watches they sold for early adopters. I agree it's a pity for such uniquely designed product to have such issues or difficulties to solve such obvious crystal clear problems and not telling the users about them beforehand :/
