Does this write know what first means? The article mentions the Vancouver Canucks using it since 2009.

First in the NBA. This article was posted to the NBA's site, not a general sporting news site.

FTA: "In the next few days, the Dallas Mavericks will become the first team in the NBA to have their players wear black, digital wristwatches that don’t tell time."

The article also makes the claim that it's a -- "digital wristwatches that don't tell time."

Turns out the watch actually tells time, and has an alarm. You can look at FAQ section @ http://www.readiband.com/pages/trials-pricing

Now sports agents and teams will begin negotiating how much sleep and downtime their athletes must have.

"We need this player to get 8.25 hours of sleep a night"

"My client will only do 7.5. He's shooting a movie next week"

"7.8?"

The Readiband provides clinical level sleep and fatigue analysis. It is FDA approved and is 93% accurate which is why it is also used by reserach groups like Harvard Medical School and the FAA research group. The other technologies call themselves consumer "gadgets" for a good reason. There is little or no science behind the products. Consumers should always ask, "Where is the validation?"
