Recently, we put out our Withings ScanWatch Nova Brilliant review and got a chance to look at a hybrid smartwatch that brings the brilliance, elegance, and style of a classic watch but also has a digital window. You can think of it like a standard watch that has a digital “complication” (for watchheads, a complication is a part of the watch that does something other than tell time) — like a G-Shock 2100 series, but “smart.” It’s really cool, great looking, and certainly a review worth taking a look at.
Unfortunately, the ScanWatch Nova Brilliant retails for $600. So we dug into the archives and ended up finding this great deal on a Withings ScanWatch Light. It’s just $219, $31 down from its usual $250, and we think you’re going to like it — especially so if you don’t like the aesthetics of the typical best smartwatches of our time. Tap the button below to see it in all its glory or keep reading for more info and our take.
The appeal of the Withings ScanWatch Light comes from two primary factors — it is a smartwatch that appears to be a more traditional watch and it is a very affordable “Light” version. If you take the most important parts of a regular watch — the dial and hands — and add a smart sensor to the part that rests against your wrist and a smart viewport near the 12, you’ve got the idea. As our Withings ScanWatch Light review tells us, this watch gives you the features of a smartwatch (such as sleep tracking, period tracking, fitness and activity tracking, etc.) without the “geeky” look of a normal smartwatch.
Now, to those that know watches, you might be tempted to think all of this would be very expensive. Watches with complications can really grow in price, seemingly exponentially. The ‘Light’ version keeps it simple and affordable, however, keeping the price down. And now, you can get your hybrid Withings ScanWatch Light for just $219 instead of $250, a savings of $31. That makes the decision to get the smartwatch even more palatable. Check it out yourself by tapping the button below.

Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
