Basis Peak review: This is the band to buy if you obsess over heart-rate and sleep tracking

<article>
   <section class="page">
<p>Update 11/20/14: Basis has announced (http://www.mybasis.com/blog/2014/11/basis-peak-fitness-heart-rate-arrived/) that a free firmware update for smartwatch-style notifications will be released in mid-December. In addition to upcoming alerts for texts, calls and calendar events, the Peak now supports the GATT Bluetooth protocol for streaming heart-rate data to various third-party fitness apps. </p><p>The Basis Peak (http://www.mybasis.com/) is a vast improvement over the Basis B1, that oh-so-promising but still quite imperfect activity-tracking wristband from early 2013. The Peak is more stylish than the B1, has a better display than the B1, and is easier to use than the B1.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2843515/basis-peak-review-this-is-the-band-to-buy-if-you-obsess-over-heart-rate-and-sleep-tracking.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
