Engadget - Jawbone. Fitbit. Microsoft. And now... Basis. If you don't know much about the brand, you really should get up to speed: The company quietly put out one of the best fitness trackers, and now it's a part of Intel. Which means, it's officially one of the big names in health gadgets. Like the previous-generation B1 band, the new Basis Peak can automatically detect when you're exercising or asleep, making it one of the most automated fitness trackers around.
Recall comes after a failed attempt to fix the issue with a software update.
Proof that Smart Watches are just not there yet, i'd say hold off buying one for a couple of years.
"There has been 3 different devices by three different companies that are contending for this number one fitness tracker position, they are: Microsoft Band for the price of $199, Fitbit Surge price $250 and the Basis Peak priced at $199. All 3 of them promise to do heart rate tracking, not just while you work out, but 24/7 while you sleep, while you are doing normal everyday activities."
