The screen is big and easy to read. The watch is good-looking and understated. Not a single person stared at it or asked me about it while I was wearing it
And I'd call that a win for an activity-tracker. It's also more comfortable
And far more accurate
Elegant design with great fitness tracking and notifications in one product
Continuous heart rate data from the wrist
Including during exercise
Waterproof can be worn 24/7 including in the shower
Slimmed down profile
Automatic sleep detection the most advanced sleep tracking among fitness trackers (REM cycles
Etc)

The editors didn't like
I really wish you could use it like a heart rate strap for running apps like Runtastic. You have to wear the watch fairly snugly
And if you don't remember to clean it or give your wrist a break
You can get a rash. Or at least I can. No smartphone notifi
Changeable watch faces
Weather app and music controls
No alarm functions
No food logging or weight logging
Battery life a touch on the short side (4 days)
Can't manually edit entries that Body IQ incorrectly estimates (like the exact start and end times of an activity or sleep period)
Its swipe-based interface is almost too smart for its own good. Many promised features won't be available until future firmware updates. The watch isn't very attractive or stylish
And its mobile app design is far behind competitors like Jawbone
Not all features available at launch
Doesn't track distance
Smartwatch-style notifications can't come soon enough
Infrequent but still very real heart-rate dropouts are annoying

Clunky looking design, There's no monthly view with the app, Features set pale in comparison to the competition, Finicky trying to activate the backlighting
Attached with an MSRP of $199.99, it's in direct competition to notable fitness trackers like the Microsoft Band and Fitbit Surge. Compared to them, the Basis Peak is a simple, no-frills fitness wearable that tracks activity with minimal interaction. Need...

The Basis B1's heart rate sensor did a good job gathering resting heart rate, so the Basis Peak's expansion of that capability to include heart rate during motion-intense activities is exciting. Impressively, this capability does not reduce the battery li...
