“I'll caveat this with the fact that my business relies on IoT devices that measure data elements relevant to endurance athletes.
In short, Biostrap focuses on the right data, has a great user experience and is offered at a price point that is less than 50% of medical grade devices that offer less information.
More specific reasons I like this device include: It's ability to capture my sleep automatically instead of having to do an action within the app. I also like the fact that it is compatible with Apple Health given that's how we integrate with this type of device. I like the way the app surfaces up "insights" as opposed to just "data". Digital experience is much better than other devices out there and I believe is Biostrap's key differentiator.
I can't attest to accuracy as yet other than to say the few tests I've done have been very accurate with respect to Blood Oxygen. I don't have a comparable to assert HRV accuracy and the sleep has been near perfect w/r/t onset, disruptions and awake information.”
“I’m a professional in the field of exercise science and nutrition applied to Age Management Medicine and Biostrap is seriously dedicated to provide health info with no need for fancy stuff. Good battery life, intuitive app and an amazing capacity to “learn” exercises that later will automatically detect. It forces you to focus on having good form, which is already a great help! The team behind seems to be really determined to dig deep into health data. And the connectivity with other devices tells you they are here to help and not trying to step on other great companies’ feet. I’m a satisfied professional customer.”
“Auto recording sleep needs work. since the last update my strap has yet to record a night's sleep. Also it takes 2 to 4 swipes tp get it tp synch. I have stopped using it for the time being.”
“I'm really enjoying my Biostrap. It is a fantastic compliment to my workouts, and allows me a much more detailed look at my health metrics overall (some of which I had no idea about). Also, kudos to the company for being so transparent and responsible about user privacy! A rarity in today's data-exploitation obsessed world.”
“The Biostrap works better than I was expecting. It monitors key peramiters needed for good health and keeps up with your exercise effectiveness. I highly recommend Biostrap.”
“Love this thing and the information it collects. Only way to make it better would be to put a display on the wrist unit but that would make it more expensive so maybe as an option :sunglasses:”
“Having contact with founders and developers as the product is continuously improving is huge! Marketing understands the value of customer service and Biostrap delivers the best.”
“I like the information the Biostrap is giving me. It has been dead on in terms of when I need to take time off and recover. Areas for improvement though would be in the buckling of the wrist strap. I find that in taking coats on and off, the wrist strap will also come off. The other area of improvement I hope they make soon is faster syncing. There are still mornings where it takes a long time to get the wrist strap to sync with my iPhone.”
“This is a great device, no question about that, BUT, I am 6;7" with a very big frame and the wrist band kept coming undone and only by sheer good fortune did I find the thing when I noticed it gone. This happened multiple times so I purchased the supposed improved strap - even worse!
My solution? Bought a bunch of wrist/sweat bands and put them over the wrist strap - ahhhhh! Security!
Please Biostrap, produce a band that operates like a watch strap and please do it yesterday.”
“I had a defective piece of equipment it was replaced quickly without any problems. I'm looking forward to getting back on track with fitness.
excellent response what ever my concerns are”
“Most of the time my phone's bluetooth can't locate the strap. The shoe device is no problem. When it does find the strap device it stays connected for less than a minute. I have not been able to use it at all.”
“I use this every night to track my sleep state. I suffer from sleep apnea and knowing how I am doing is important to my overall health. Am not aware of wearing it which is a huge plus.
Downsides:
Strap is a pain to use - getting it on AND off is a fight.
After recoding, the app asks questions before uploading the data from the band - it would be better to have it do that in parallel or following the upload.”
