Basis B1 Review: The Best Activity Tracker Despite One Critical Flaw

After a couple years of gestation, Basis’s B1 — watch-like activity tracker — has finally arrived. But, unlike the FuelBands and Fitbits and UPs of the world, Basis offers a unique look into one’s health, however cursory as it might seem.
