The best new wearables we could find at CES 2020 - Android

Health and wellbeing are the big themes at CES 2020, especially with the new smartwatches from Suunto and Withings.

Artificial humans and toilet paper robots aren’t the only cool things to launch at CES 2020 — a lot of great new smartwatches made their debut, too. We saw smartwatches with ECG monitors, built-in trail maps, and a surprising amount of features for low price tags. Oh, I also found a certain smartwatch that I’m completely obsessed with. Read on to see the best new wearables at CES 2020.

Withings ScanWatch: Honest-to-goodness sleep apnea detection

Withings impressed us last CES with the Move and Move ECG — two hybrid smartwatches with quirky, fun designs. At CES 2020, Withings is going classy again with the ScanWatch.

The Withings ScanWatch is much more than a style upgrade, though. It has a built-in ECG that lets you take on-demand electrocardiograms, as well as an SpO2 sensor that measures your oxygen saturation levels overnight. Withings expects the ScanWatch to receive FDA and CE clearance soon, which is a big deal. When that happens, the ScanWatch will be the only medically certified hybrid smartwatch that can show early warning signs of sleep apnea and arrhythmia (AFib).

Suunto 7: Wear OS for serious athletes

We haven’t seen a true Wear OS watch for athletes since 2016’s Polar M600. Now, Suunto is throwing its hat into the ring with the Suunto 7. It’s big, packed with great fitness features, and isn’t overly expensive.

The Suunto 7 has a built-in GPS, heart rate sensor, and support for offline maps (that’s a big deal for hikers, bikers, and trail runners). This is a Suunto device, after all, so it also supports Suunto Heatmaps, frequently traveled paths by Suunto users, across 15 activities.

Battery life isn’t bad, either. Suunto says the 7 will last 12 hours in GPS mode or 48 hours with normal use. That’s pretty good for a Wear OS smartwatch.

You can work out with the Suunto 7 this January for $499.

Skagen Falster 3: Finally, a Skagen that will perform well

The Skagen Falster lineup has some of the prettiest Wear OS smartwatches, but they’re never the most powerful or longest lasting. That changes with the Skagen Falster 3. Skagen included the latest and greatest internals in its new watch: Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 3100 SoC and 1GB of RAM (that’s a lot for Wear OS). This should allow for a smooth, long-lasting performance. Skagen also threw in 8GB of music and app storage for good measure.

The company is also partnering with KYGO, the popular Norwegian DJ, for the release of the watch. All models come with an exclusive KYGO watch face, and there’s even an X by KYGO edition of the watch.

You’ll be able to buy the Skagen Falster 3 this January for $295.
