Basis new fitness band, dubbed the Carbon Steel Edition, is much more comfortable than the original. And thats not just me parroting the companys marketing materials: Ive been testing the original B1 band for weeks now, so I should know better than anyone how much better this new one is. Though the press materials would make it seem like this is basically the old B1 with a new wristband, its now covered in chrome accents (can you really call a faceplate an accent?).
