<\/a><\/p>\nNot quite sure how the sleep sensors work, but each time I nap or sleep at night the Basis<\/a> records my sleep with several different variables: \u00a0time in deep sleep, light sleep, REM sleep. \u00a0It also records turns and turnovers and what it calls, interruptions. \u00a0At 67 you can imagine what my interruptions are. \u00a0These are done up in a neat graph that wouldn’t copy, but the overall data stream for last night is below.* (above is from their website)<\/p>\n But that’s not all. Overtime the Basis learns your patterns and gives you a sleep score based on I initially thought it would record my heart rate during exercise and give me feedback about my workouts, but it doesn’t do that. \u00a0I wanted to be able to upload my exercise data to the computer and save it, track my progress over time.<\/p>\n Though I’ve always exercised with a heart rate monitor (or at least I’ve done it so long I don’t recall when I started), the technology I had was only good for in the moment They make a great, inexpensive watch and chest band (transmits heart rate to the watch) which, when coupled with a data synch plate, transfers a great deal of relevant data from the watch to the Polartech personal trainer website. \u00a0BTW: \u00a0I have the FT7 which the link displays and explains, but I got it for $73, not $119.00.<\/p>\n This means I don’t wear my Basis during exercise. \u00a0It didn’t do much helpful then anyhow. That means its calories burned per day reading is not accurate because it doesn’t reflect my workouts. \u00a0Still, it’s sleep monitoring and throughout the day heart monitoring give it a place, too. \u00a0Oh, and it tells time and the date, too.<\/p>\n Now I can monitor my sleep accurately, my resting heart rate and the intensity of my workouts. \u00a0With the workouts I see calories burned, maximum, minimum and average heart rate, training load (call it intensity), time in various training zones and I get graphs over time plus a calendar\/diary that records each workout in a calendar format. \u00a0I like it.<\/p>\n Imbolc \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Valentine Moon Gadgets. Yes. I like them. My latest is my birthday present, a Basis watch. \u00a0The basis keeps track of … Continue reading Data<\/span> <\/a>length of sleep and all those other data points. \u00a0It also measures, helpfully, heart rate during the day, in particular resting heart rate which is a good measure of fitness.<\/p>\n<\/a>readings. \u00a0That was good, but I wanted better data. \u00a0When I found the Basis wouldn’t do what I wanted (I was not the only one who made this mistake as the forum on the Basis website demonstrated), I went to Polartech<\/a>.<\/p>\n*91%<\/h2>\n
