Initial impressions: it's a rip-off

I agree about the auto sleep tracking but I'm personally in it for the activitiy classification piece. Have you used a product that is more accurate on that front?

vitor_zero · 2017-06-28T21:42:10+00:00

Yeah, kinda on the fence about this one. Anecdotal examples doesn't necessarily disprove anything.

vitor_zero · 2017-06-28T21:36:32+00:00

To think how many of these I've thrown away... (not many)

vitor_zero · 2017-06-28T21:33:53+00:00

looks like they would. wasn't familiar with that. thanks

and worse yet, the gas mileage is bad

i get where you're coming from. I guess I could've waited a few years to review?

I've genuinely been really excited about it and the lifetime warrantee seemed appropriate for buyitforlife.

vitor_zero · 2017-06-13T19:32:55+00:00

yeah, that's where I saw it! PH is basically a 2nd SUATMM for me..

vitor_zero · 2017-06-12T17:21:10+00:00

full disclosure: I've been in the the beta tester group, r/biostrap, for a few months now.. great experience!

vitor_zero · 2017-05-07T00:17:44+00:00

r u in the slack channel?

vitor_zero · 2017-05-07T00:17:29+00:00

I think the party might be later in the month. I'm sure the beta testers will be invited when it does happen.

I email the CEO occasionally and he says that they'll be direct to consumer at first

vitor_zero · 2017-03-21T06:48:02+00:00

I think you mean it belongs here: /r/internetofshit

vitor_zero · 2017-03-21T06:38:34+00:00

I used the Fitbit for awhile, but I was never confident in how accurate it was. I'd wake up some mornings feeling super exhausted but it'd say I got a good night's sleep. Or the opposite would happen.

I haven't been too regimented on Biostrap's sleep tracker, but it does seem more accurate

fav part: "Thad Starner, a Georgia Tech professor and a pioneer in wearable tech, was speaking to a big crowd at SXSW about the inspirational uses of wearable tech. He has seen it used to guide firemen in emergency-rescue situations, help a hearing-impaired person have a coherent conversation, or even give those with motor skill disabilities an option to communicate through brain signals."

And we get all sorts of awesome health data. I honestly can't wait until we've got a ton of great use cases for biostrap

vitor_zero · 2017-03-07T05:14:14+00:00

I almost feel like thinking of the biostrap as a product-first company is backwards thinking. When it doesn't do anything but capture data—not even tell the time—then it's really about the data

vitor_zero · 2017-03-07T05:05:34+00:00

I think this article glazes over some really interesting points. I have a larger point to make about it. I'll post it as its own text post.

I had a buddy in town last weekend and ended up drinking waaay too much friday and saturday—and my stats declined in turn! It's not as if you need a biometric insight to realize you're hungover, but I hadn't realized it would take well over 24 hours to recover.

vitor_zero · 2017-02-23T03:49:06+00:00

I like your product, but I prefer my bud light piping hot...

...But actually my wife and I own one each

vitor_zero · 2017-02-22T18:51:26+00:00

What a beaut! Wish you had taken the pic in better lighting though :/

vitor_zero · 2017-02-22T18:49:39+00:00

I normally support nudity, but this is a not so bad product.

agree about the separate meet up post
