I've been wearing my band for a week now, its totally awesome to see this picture its building up of me, the exercise and sleep data is highly insightful.
But there's one sensors function I can't figure out: The galvanic skin sensor
So far as I can tell all the chart/graph feedback and numbers collated on the health app are centred around only two things; heart rate and movement. So that explains the heart sensor and gyroscope.
As to the other sensors (UV, sound, gps, ambient light) are all fairly self explanatory.
According to the MS website, the gsr tells the band when its being worn....? I don't get that. Surely the heart monitor and gyroscope would also act to tell the band that the owner has clipped it on and is now actively using the band. Surely a whole sensor can't be dedicated to just saying "yip, I'm on the wrist and being useful now"
I guess my questions are what does gsr actually measure and can that data be turned into useful everyday user feedback?
A more blue sky question would be; is this a sensor Microsoft hasn't really turned fully on? Are there insightful graphs waiting to be launched in future versions of the health platform?
