I've had my Basis Peak fitness tracker for over a year and I loved it (until my phone updated to Android 6.0 and the bluetooth issues caused it to stop syncing). Unfortunately, it appears that some people's Peaks have overheated and caused them burns/blisters, so all Peaks are being recalled and support for the product is ending. Because of this, I need to find a new fitness tracker. The features that are mandatory to me are:

1) Automatically tracks sleep, including deep, light, and REM cycles (I cannot always predict when I will be sleeping as sometimes I fall asleep while watching TV/reading, so I cannot always manually tell my tracker when I plan to sleep).
2) Has vibrating alarm feature and ability to turn on backlight on watch face (I wake up at 4AM to take thyroid medication and need to do this without disturbing my husband with noise/light).
3) Continuous heart rate monitoring
4) Counts steps
5) Counts calories burned
6) Automatically knows when you are exercising (Peak had the option to manually input when you were starting to workout and the type of workout, but also automatically picked up on heart rate increase/skin temperature and could enter "exercise mode" on its own as well)
7) Waterproof or at least very resistant. I was able to wear my Peak in the pool and ocean with no ill effects.
8) Has watch face and the ability to access heart rate/calories/steps from the watch itself instead of needing to open an app.
9) Vibrates and shows notification of incoming phone calls, lets you read text messages as you receive them.

I know that's pretty extensive, but the Peak had all of these features and I certainly don't want to downgrade. I also can't afford to spend much more than the refund for my Peak, which will be $200.
