8. Select "next" for the next exercise, "start" for the next set or "end" to finish the workout.
I am really impressed with how small and lightweight the Beast Sensor feels to wear. Even when my muscles are moving the Velcro band does not constrain them.
I personally have never seen a wearable device like Beast Sensor. It gives me the data I have always wanted to see graphically. I feel motivated when lifting weights while using the Beast Sensor!
Here is my chart on the website showing peak power, barbell squat for 2 different days

It also motivates me to see my progress from day to day. A graph with improving strength, speed & power keeps me mentally engaged with my workout. My mind is focusing on the feeling of each rep instead of mindless counting them. I love that the Beast Sensor makes my workout tangible! On the app, I really like the instant feedback from each rep, set & exercise. The app's charts show results during & at the end of each exercise & total workout.
Since there is one sensor and you have two arms it measures the arm it's attached to. This is great for two arm movements. If doing a single arm exercise I easily moved the Beast Sensor to the opposite arm.
The Beast Sensor registers leg and arm exercises. At first I was not sure if leg exercises would be picked up. If I was holding a weight it registered the exercise.
Pros:
Instant metrics of workout
Ability to track metrics over time
Graphs make the data quick & easy to follow
Beast Sensor is lightweight
It's unnoticeable during the lifts
Motivational

Easy to use
App is user-friendly

It is addicting to watch each rep & either try to stay consistent or increase the intensity. No more guessing how well I met my goal! The Beast Sensor show me instantly how each set & workout ranked. Don't just take my word for it, try it out for yourself here!
