Hybrid smartwatches nail the best of both worlds: classic analog style with just enough smartwatch features to keep you connected. They look like traditional timepieces but sneak in fitness tracking, heart rate sensors, and the occasional notification. I’ve tested plenty, and the standouts are the ones that blend design and utility without feeling like a gadget in disguise. Below are the hybrid smartwatches I recommend most.
Withings ScanWatch 2: The best hybrid smartwatch overall
The Withings ScanWatch 2 is one of the most polished hybrid smartwatches available. It pairs a timeless analog design with a surprisingly deep health suite, including ECG readings for atrial fibrillation detection, SpO2 monitoring, and impressively reliable sleep stats. New to this generation is a temperature sensor that not only helps flag potential illness but also supports recovery and training insights. Meanwhile, on-device cycle tracking is also now built in, making the watch more versatile for a wider range of users.
