My only beef with these "fitness bands" is their lack of being able to tell you how accurately you sleep at night. Without a heart rate monitor, there's really no way to be accurate other than to say you were restless versus laying still.

AFAIK the only product that does this is Polar's fitness band. And only because you can link their heart rate monitor to it to give you additional fitness information. I could be wrong to think they're the only one combining the two.

Did you read the linked product page? It specifically boasts sleep tracking and 24-hour heart rate tracking.

I actually missed it the first two times I read it. So yeah, I want one now. Thanks for pointing it out to me.

I guess this means I won't be switching back to Android for a while now, just to see how my WP8 and this work together.
