SERIOUS HARDWARE: ADVANCED SENSORS AT YOUR WRIST
The Basis band (get one at mybasis.com) has the most advanced sensors on the market, continuously capturing heart rate patterns, motion, perspiration and skin temperature throughout the day and night. It's the perfect companion to your Android phone.
GET FIT
Powered by Body IQ technology, Basis automatically recognizes and displays your favorite activities - walking, running and outdoor cycling. Your duration and calorie count for each activity is displayed on your Basis band and on your Android phone.

Basis automatically detects every phase of sleep - no button pushing or mode changing like other devices. Based on cutting-edge sleep science, your sleep chart on your app shows each phase of your sleep – REM Sleep, Deep Sleep and Light Sleep – as well as Toss-and-Turn, Interruptions and Duration.
STRESS LESS
With real-time heart rate on your wrist, Basis helps you uncover stressful moments that you may not even be aware of. With some simple breathing exercises, Basis can help you stay cool under pressure.

Sync data wirelessly and automatically from your Basis Band via Bluetooth to keep the most current data in your hands at all times. *Internet connection required*

The Basis watch and app on my LG G4 were compatible and worked great until the recent update on 2/18/2016 to marshmallow 6.0. Now it won't sync and does not operate . To try to resolve this myself, I uninstalled the app, tried to re-pair with my blue tooth, and all other suggestions listed in the Basis help page to no avail. Please investigate this issue; most likely, I am not the only customer with this problem.
At some point during one of the updates it I am no longer able to log into the app. I can log in via the website but not the app on my phone. This sucks because I cannot sync my progress or track it on my phone. What's the point of the app then.
No longer supported on Android 6. If you plan to get a new phone; you will need to go back to syncing via a wire with your desktop. Beware. (I have an S7 with Android 6, Support informs me that they are no longer supporting this app)
The watch is pretty cool... its nice to be able to view your steps, heartrate, etc throughout the day but it's not very good at tracking biking in cold weather or doing things that a normal watch should do... like telling the seconds and timing. And also it cannot sense when you aren't wearing it so it messes with your goals when you're charging
Very helpful medical info. Problems synching and a bulky design, but otherwise fantastic and useful!
The moto xyboard tablet does not connect directly with watch. Wish it would offer more baseline insight (e.g. heart rate for my age and weight). It would be better if they allowed/partnered with other apps to do so.
Rudimentary at best. Shows you data but doesn't do anything useful with it. Doesn't let you share data out to better conceived apps. Very disappointed with the state of basis development. Basis had promised to have an api but has not to date. That means you are stuck with this app. Once you unlock all the habits there is nothing else to do. Fitbit, for example, lets you compete with your network. Now that the battery needs to be charged every 2 days I am shopping for another band and it won't be from basis.
Couldn't yoy have allowed us to view the data, as in the website? But here in the app. Is it so hard to do? Most likely it's really simple. This app doesn't have anything even remotely interesting. AND OMG!! Your sleep analysis is a mess, divided into timed sessions, 2 hours here 30 minutes there, that's why you failed. You did everything wrong in the app. What in this world were you thinking?
Great app! Tracks walking, running, biking, and sleep.
Cant get back logged into spp sucks
We need more habits and be able to switch them out.
The app is not supporting the Nexus, but it is not informing user about unsupported phone. I wasted tons of time on this lame app.
Now completely abandoned if favor of Peak. No Google Fit integration, nothing.
Finally Figured Out how to Pair it and then Sync it.
I've been at level 8 for months. Any plans to put in a level 9?
why is it telling me that i need to login when i never had anything with it before? do i need to sign up somewhere?
My B1 will not pair over Bluetooth with my phone running 6.0.1 marshmallow. Worked with 5.x.x Lollipop.
If goal is 10,000 steps and my watch says I go over 10,000 when I sync it stays red as if I didn't meet my goal. All data on my watch doesn't always sync, for instance some of my calories log but not all. In a lot of cases it says it synced but when I open the app no data shows up. Trying to get a hold of the basis company is even worse than the app. It's 2015, they should have a phone contact. I wish I would have kept my fitbit.
Not friendly Display too dark No manual Display do not show the day of the week Sales staff have no clue about the device and misinform about the device functionality I am dissapointed
Asus tablet and it wont hook up to bluetooth. Have no issues with any other bluetooth I use. I'm a bit of a geek so its not me. The basis works as is expected with my iphone but its not happy with tablet. My ipad is fine too. As far as the watch goes its by far the most superior product of its kind on the market, price is too. But you get what you pay for. I would recommend.
The watch is oretty cool... its nice to be able to view your steps, heartrate, etc throughout the day but i've it's not very good at tracking biking in cold weather or doing things that a normal watch should do... like telling the seconds and timing.
The phone app is good, not as full featured as the web app but has the essentials. I don't like the new, wordy notifications; "good day: wear it" fits on the screen, but "you've had a good day: w..." forces me to open the app :)
The advance sensors on the device are nice but the app is horrible. Viewing historical data is non existent. Also all of your data can't be shared with third party apps..... I would suggest waiting for the Jawbone up3 which has all of the features the peak has and considering Jawbones previous apps I'm sure the app for the up3 will be significantly better then this garbage
Tracking and activity recognition worked well, though it seemed to get worse over time. No straightforward way to access your raw data! Being able to make custom goals, and having a smart alarm feature using sleep data would be great.
After the latest update 10.3.1 this app finally works on my blackberry, I have been crossing my fingers for this since I bought the watch. Great watch now I can use it with the phone I like most
I love my Basis, but it won't sync after the latest update :(
This is so helpful. It does have glitches from time to time but nothing is perfect. And if you email them they are quick & helpful.
It just stopped working, no more Bluetooth sync.
The server seems to go offline very often. And it keeps asking for email and password literally every other minute. Wonder why? Shame because the watch is a really good product. Unfortunately, the watch needs the server to be useful.
Had the watch for over a year, hasnt worked with 3 androids and no Windows mobile support. I heard the 2nd edition improves on this. Note that IBM owns them they have completely moved on, website works just fine. App score doesn't reflect watch score.
works great! like the consistent U I with website. just wish you could see the activity patterns screens, especially on a phablet
The graphics are not sufficient relative to the web application and the Bluetooth updates of data need to be able to reset the band memory. The band connector for the B1 is too finnicky on its own. Adding the ability to download your own data would be nice.
It's asking me for email and password. For what I don't have an account yet?
So instead of incrementally improving one app you build two and leave the other behind. This is a real disappointment.
Please integeate with google fit
This band has really helped me focus on my health.
The whole thing is a cloud app, and too many times has their service been down. No api, no local cache, no local data processing...nothing but the web with a poor back end.
Do you have one that is water proof? I am a swimmer and wondering how do I merge this hour of activity with the device?
No integration with major fitness apps . Also terrible at tracking weights workouts.

Finally was able to get one after waiting months for it to be back in stock. I had a hard time getting it set up on My Android phone (4.4.4)ok, impossible as the Android app recognizes the older model. It would not see the Basis Peak. I finally had to use my iPad and them it worked, but I prefer my Android phone as I always carry it. The same went for the Basis Sync I tried to use on my Mac computer, it only has options for the older model and does not recognize the Peak. Please fix.
