hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room had reviewed the vases peak when it was first released nearly a year ago and today I'm giving this one more try last year when I had my hands on this vases didn't have all the updates or features that was promised on day one and with today's revisions we should have a more complete experience on what faces has to offer keep in mind many new bans have been released so let's see if they have been staying relevant and to be transparent and honest with you guys the model I have here has been supplied by bases and this is their newest model the peak titanium it's priced at $300 retail so without further ado my channel is here to help you make a purchase decision welcome everyone to chips review going over the physical features the titanium addition is essentially the basis peak but it houses the brains of the device in pure titanium and comes with this beautiful lovely leather strap of course the only caveat is the leather isn't recommended to get wet so working out what this is out of the question and to address this issue despite the high price tag of $300 basis that including their package a sport vent strap that is very easily swappable only needing your fingers to really have done both bands have been very easy to wear very comfortable and as important breathable overall the build quality as you can imagine has been great and a screen holds up very well with no scratches during my testing the display is very much visible and in darker situations you can always swap the right side up for an illuminated backlit display but now going over what this can display here and don't try to remember what I'm going to show you but this should give you an overall feel or an idea of how this works the time is showing 24/7 swiping right offers your basic settings to get that out of the way but swiping down from that main screen you can set up an alarm to wake you up and sweating down one more time offers you a stopwatch feature for timing your activities from here swiping right from any screen will show you your heart rate and swiping down we'll review today's total performance so far including total steps taken and how many calories were burned swiping right you have your most recent activity and pulling down will review your previous active moments recorded now one unique feature that more bands today are slowly incorporating is Auto sensing what activities you're doing for the basis this would record moments of walking running and cycling and it does a pretty good job at recognizing when you do start and stop you just literally just wear it and go about your day it's the same thing with sleep as well this does sense when you're going to hit the hay with no need to manually inform the band but before going into the app other features the basis pic includes are of course the heart rate sensor on the back with a skin temperature reader and galvanic skin response sensors and new to me as I was not able to test this in my previous review there are now smart notifications and did great as you'll get a summary of messages including Google Hangouts but it is roughly limited to about 210 characters I can't open or expand the message to see what else is written now if multiple messages come in I can see an indication of how many there were but I can't tap or look at each message individually same concept with email you can see who sent the email to you and the subject line but I can't open the email itself and see what is written on the plus side you do have incoming phone callers so you can see who's calling you before you've been without your phone and the basis peak has beta features that is currently under testing that it shows all smart notifications from most of your apps installed currently on your phone but in the end those looking for more of a SmartWatch concepts this is really it's just notifications it's not actual messages that you can really read in addition this would have been more of a SmartWatch if media controls and weather information were displayed unfortunately they are not here and one last physical test was the heart rate tracking graciously the basis pick significantly improves from a year ago at least from my test and for the most part does a fairly good job now faces comes off as being one of the more accurate ones out there I want to compare this with my chest strap but with all this data how is interpreted into the app the overall experience remains relatively the same the basis app focus is a lot on habits and this is one of the biggest highlights that they have to offer as an example on the top of the main page here I have where it's which encourages me to wear the band for a certain amount of hours each day so more data is of course collected moveth is next reminding me to just actively move for 30 minutes or more each day and after completing each one of these habits again and would then unlock new habits that maybe include longer durations or other new habits in general as you can see on your screen these are my next ones coming up that can strive to conquer essentially raising the bar for a healthier lifestyle now out of every app and physical band that I've used this has to be the best coaching tool for a consumer but going back to the main dashboard I'll be honest there really isn't much here there's of course total steps and the calories burned so far and the most recent activity down below but that's basically about it but jumping into sleep tracking this appears to do great with an abundance of information to differentiate lights and deep sleep with REM sleep versus tossing and turning the sleep score is always a nice plus but the only issue that I really have here is just reading the basis charts they're highly segmented and not one continuous flow now I'm not sure if the ban isn't read my arm or if the band thinks I'm awake but there are gaps in between my data and the rest assured I have worn the basses snug not loose or too tight either this is also evidence on my regular charts on my activity charts during the daytime as well I just can't see my overall entire day and I would have to tap left or right and basically move on to the next screen overall the app looks great it looks modern it looks sleek but the experience isn't a homerun compared to many other bands that I've tested over the past two years the basis app isn't streamlined and the data collected provides a sense of really more of today and now with no real historical data to compare now we're in the app is the weekly monthly and yearly comparisons to ensure my performance is getting better for activity and fitness participants where are the long-term trends to compare especially my resting heart rate as with the activity side where are my heart rate zones overall as an update I still feel like the essentials haven't been updated for a better experience granted there's always the basis website where you can log into viewer data which does better than the app but the website isn't as robust as say the Fitbit or Garmin Connect equivalent the app isn't as streamlined as majority the other apps currently on the market as I stated earlier and despite looking more like a SmartWatch than an activity ban or an activity watch the SmartWatch like features are limited for $250 in the competition you can get bands and watches with GPS that can detail pace speed and distance with other select few bands that can go more in depth and in detail regarding heart rate tracking the few items that I did love on the basis is the habits feature as it is one of the best out there and I did personally lovely leather wrist strap for fashionable purposes but in the end I think it's best to wait for the next generation basis to be released or hopefully a totally revamped app so hope this review helped you in some way be sure to follow me on Facebook Twitter in or Instagram and if you
