Basis fitness watch

With advances in sensor technology and a general increased awareness in health, there have been efforts to develop personal fitness and health monitoring devices. Although not arriving with certain functionalities that would make it more useful for an athlete (the field is very much a work in progress), the Basis fitness watch is a step in the right direction. It arrives with a range of sensors that monitor the wearer's heart rate, perspiration level, wearer temperature, time, steps taken, calories burned among others. The assortment of metrics gathered and personal goals across activities (distance to cover, hours slept, etc) results in a detailed data set when synced to servers via a USB cradle. The system is adaptive, adjusting an user’s goals according to actual results.
