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

Despite some smart features, the Basis Peak is a fitness watch that's impressively automatic but too limited and unfinished to feel like a truly great product....

Seriously good heartrate tracking—on a wristband, no less, Industrybest 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.
Smartwatchstyle notifications can't come soon enough, Infrequent but still very real heartrate dropouts are annoying
Not all features available at launch, Doesn't track distance
A large display, attractive design and some smartwatch functionality make the Basis Peak an excellent activity tracker. As the first wrist activity-band with a built-in heart rate monitor, the Basis B1 helped pave the way for a generation of fi...
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
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
Yeah, if you want an activity monitor, and you want it now. At $200, its coming in on the higher end, but its simply more capable and more accurate than any of the other activity trackers Ive used to date. It gives you more data and helps you come up w...
Abstract: The Basis Peak, the latest activity tracker from the Intel-owned company, is aiming to be your fitness tracker of choice, packing in heart rate monitoring, a pedometer, sleep tracking and smart notifications from your phone, but can it stand out in an alr...
Suffice to say, it all goes together to make for a very curious wearable. And for true fitness fanatics, the Basis Peak is unlikely to hit the spot. The inability to export data to other apps or record GPS-tracked rides and runs – not to mention the compl...
Overall, we think that the Basis Peak is a great fitness and sleep tracker. The amount of data it processes provides you with a holistic overview of your fitness and sleeping habits. The accuracy of the tracker itself is great – we tried to fool it into t...

Super accurate, Decent notifications, Tonnes of sensors
Information overload, Hard to learn anything useful, Syncing nightmare,
We really wanted to love the Basis Peak, and as a general activity tracker and sports watch it's one of the most powerful and accurate out there. However, despite its power in the gym or on the road, when you return from your workouts, its usefulness plum...
At the heart of all activities of daily living trackers lies a few principles. This kind of device is meant a constant, day and night wear and therefore need to be comfortable, functional, reliable and attractive. At Basis Peak problem unless the latter...

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...
