A big thing about sleep tracking for me is it being automatic. When I'm about to fall asleep, I'm often too sleepy to remember to press that button. It why I ditched my fitbit.
Other fitness trackers have automatic sleep tracking, even it's only heuristic based. For example misfit just has the formula of 'if not moving much for a large chunk of time in between these user configurable hours, mark that as sleep time'. That is a huge improvement.
The basis band seems to have a more advanced automatic sleep tracking algo. You guys would be probably interested looking into it.
- How do you charge the thing?
- Is the sleep tracking automatic or do you have to press a button to start it?
