The Basis is the most expensive fitness tracker I've tried, at $200, but I certainly would not recommend any of its competitors, which are often only slightly cheaper and are far, far less capable. It's a damned awesome product, and I'm going to keep wearing mine.

At double the cost of our Editors' Choice, the Fitbit One, the Basis watch might not appeal to the mass market just yet, but I think fitness and technology enthusiasts will be thrilled to own one (or at least pre-order one, as they're often sold out).

Personally, I won't give up wearing my watch nor will I be wearing two watches anymore but the B1 is without a doubt the best activity tracker available today. (And I've tested just about all of them.) Too bad it's backordered till who knows when.

Tech and fitness enthusiasts should run out and buy the $199 Basis fitness watch immediately, as it's by far the most interesting activity tracker on the market. Cautious consumers, however, should wait for version 2.0, as the hardware design could use a few tweaks.
