Basis Peak

One recently published study indicates that wrist-based heart rate monitoring may not be as reliable as hoped. Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic’s Heart and Vascular Institute found that four leading devices were of inconsistent accuracy, and that accuracy drops during workouts.

The Basis Peak is a stylish wrist-worn fitness tracker which is packed with sensors to gather an array of information as you wear it day and night. Gizmag recently spent some quality time with the follow-up to the Basis B1 to put it though its paces as it monitored ours.

Basis has announced a new wearable that aims to provide accurate, convenient and comprehensive fitness tracking. The new device pays more attention to fashion than we’re used to from the category and promises smartwatch-like notifications.
