The editors liked

  • 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 far more accurate

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
  • Smartwatchstyle notifications can't come soon enough
  • Infrequent but still very real heartrate dropouts are annoying
  • A little chunky for petite people. No buttons
  • Touch-screen only. Doesn't measure distance. Mobile-only wireless syncing
  • Which means an iOS or Android device is required. No stopwatch. No calorie-counting system
  • 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
  • Expensive for a fitness tracker
  • Not as attractive as rival devices
  • Smartwatch-like notifications not available at launch
  • The app still doesn't offer much insight into what your data means

  • Great looking new design, Much more thought out smartphone app, More features coming down the pipe
  • Comparatively short battery life, Buggy app updates, Heart rate monitor drops out randomly
  • I really wanted to love the Basis Peak. I wouldn't call it a complete failure. Instead I'll reiterate the Peak is still clearly a work in progress as evidenced by my buggy experience with the updated app on IOS and smartphone notifications still on the h...

  • Yeah, if you want an activity monitor, and you want it now. At £199, it's coming in on the higher end, but it's simply more capable and more accurate than any of the other activity trackers I've used to date. It gives you more data and helps you come up w...

  • Abstract:  I've been keen on smartwatches pretty much since day one. I get a lot of emails, texts, and assorted notifications, most of them garbage but some vitally important. Having a glancable screen on my wrist makes life infinitely easier. But smartwatches have ...

  • Abstract:  But best of all, the new $200 Basis Peak has a more accurate heart-rate monitor than the B1. I've tested the Peak for about a week, and while its heart-rate feature isn't perfect, it comes close to what Basis claims it can do. And that's a big deal, becau...

  • Abstract:  Su pantalla es táctil, y constantemente visualiza la hora. Esto no impide que realizando un uso medio del smartwatch tengamos una autonomía media de 6 días antes de tener que volver a recargar su batería. Para ello, empleamos una base con un conector micr...

  • Body IQ détecte tout automatiquement, Mesure du sommeil précise / réveil par vibration, Etanche 50 m / solide / app mobile sympa, Gestion des notifications / Bluetooth fiable
  • Bracelet assez massif / doit être bien ajusté, Activation du rétro-éclairage mal pensée, Pas de réveil fonction du cycle, ni de récurrence, Pas de GPS, pas de fonction d'entraînement
  • La Basis Peak est assurément différente des autres montres connectées de sport. puisque ça n'en est pas vraiment une. Si Intel a racheté Basis Science Inc, c'était précisément pour se doter de technologies de capteurs qui manquaient à son bataillon. Cap...

  • Si vous recherchez un bracelet connecté qui détecte automatiquement toutes les activités de la journée et livre des données fiables y compris celles liées à votre pouls, le Basis Peak d'Intel n'est pas un mauvais choix… A condition de faire abstraction de...

  Published: 2015-12-11, Author: Matteo , review by: tuttoandroid.net

  • Basis Peak viene proposto sul mercato europeo a circa 200 €. E' certamente un prezzo che lo pone nella fascia alta dei wearable device, tanto che diventa quasi ingiustificata la mancanza del GPS. Senza alcun dubbio è il miglior activity tracker in comme...
