The editors liked
Big design improvements
Comfortable band
Easy set-up
The Basis Peak is a fitness-focused waterproof smartwatch that runs for days on a single battery charge. It passively measures heart-rate and steps
With little need for intervention from the user
Great looking new design
Much more thought out smartphone app
More features coming down the pipe
The editors didn't like
No heart rate band compatibility
Notifications are poor
Slightly expensive
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
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), BodyIQ fe
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)
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...

Can automatically detect when you're exercising or sleeping, Continuous heart rate monitoring, Long battery life, Comfortable to wear, Interchangeable band
Expensive for a fitness tracker, Not as attractive as rival devices, Doesn't track distance, Smartwatch-like notifications not available at launch, The app still doesn't offer much insight into what your data means
Despite its relatively high price (and a few imperfections), the Basis Peak is still one of the best fitness trackers you can buy right now. That's mostly because of how automated it is, with the ability to track your sleep and workouts without you having...
Fully automated activity detection. Excellent Web app. Includes heart rate and skin temperature readings. Supports some smartwatch functionality. Waterproof. Good display. Comfortable. Swappable band. Waterproof to 50 meters.
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
The Basis Peak impresses with its ability to automatically track runs, walks, bicycle rides, and sleep, without you having to do a thing. The built-in heart rate monitor works well, and overall, it's the best activity tracker you can buy right now....
Seriously good heart-rate tracking—on a wristband, no less, Industry-best sleep tracking for a wrist wearable, Slick industrial design, good battery life, and it's comfortable, Automatically tracks exercise sessions and sleep; no button presses required
Smartwatch-style notifications can't come soon enough, Infrequent but still very real heart-rate dropouts are annoying
The real-time heart-rate tracking isn't perfect, but it comes close. And with automatic sleep and exercise tracking, and an improved industrial design, the Basis Peak is much better than its predecessor....
