If you’re constantly being berated for always picking up your smartphone because you’re waiting for an important message or you’re on a run but you need to get a call without breaking your stride, this means it’s time to get a wearable. There are so many options out there now, as compared to a few years ago, and so you need to research which one should fit your lifestyle. Peak is one of those clamoring for your attention, and if it’s notifications and lifestyle monitoring you’re after, then this might be a pretty good deal.
Peak started out as just a fitness and sleep tracker, but with the new year comes new features with the latest update to the firmware, and that includes the ever important smartwatch notification. Now you’ll be able to get notifications when you receive texts, calls, emails, calendar alerts, etc from your connected smartphone. Your Peak will vibrate when you receive a notification, and for five minutes, it will be visible on your wearable until you dismiss them. But if you’re working out and you don’t want to be disturbed, then you can set it to Do Not Disturb mode.
The update also brings a new data export feature so you can keep track of all your health and fitness activities. Some information that you can download are the sensor data (including heart rate), calories burned, perspiration, skin temperature, etc. You can choose to download the data from the last 7 days, 30 days, or even from the time you started tracking it through Peak.
To be able to use these new features, you have to make sure that your Peak firmware is updated to the latest version, 1.8.15 and that your Basis Peak app is at version 1.5.0. You need to activate the notification features through your connected smartphone.
