How to Check Your BAC on the BACtrack Apple Watch

19 May, 2022

Checking the blood alcohol level before driving is crucial to be safe and minimise safety risks. A breathalyser is a useful device that estimates a person’s Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) or intoxication level. It analyses the sample breath to determine how much alcohol is in the system. Moreover, breathalysers can deliver fast results, helping you make informed decisions. Devices from Breathalysers New Zealand offer reliable breath tests using advanced sensor technologies. Many individuals and industries trust the BACtrack breathalysers to measure the BAC level accurately. Today, you can monitor your alcohol level from your wrist through the BACtrack Apple Watch. The BACtrack merges advanced fuel cell sensors and wireless technology for more efficient alcohol testing

Many people engage in alcohol consumption as a pastime activity. Alcohol helps people relax or unwind at moderate levels. However, excessive amounts can quickly turn the euphoric effects of alcohol into severe impairments. Breathalysers New Zealand offers accurate BAC tests through the robust BACtrack breathalysers. Likewise, modern devices such as Bluetooth-capable breathalysers allow you to access your BAC results on your smartphone directly. Featuring the BACtrack for Apple Watch is the new, smart way to manage your alcohol consumption. With the BACtrack app for Apple Watch, you may take a breath test and conveniently view your BAC from your wrist. In addition, you do not need to take your mobile phone out every hour to monitor your BAC.

Additionally, the BACtrack for Apple Watch incorporates the smartphone breathalysers’ functionalities with advanced features.

  • Test Notification – This function allows you to take appropriate actions before BAC testing. Click the “Test in 15 Minutes button to start a countdown timer. Then, the app will alert you when it is time to take the test. The waiting period allows the alcohol to dissipate from the mouth and reach the lungs to get the most accurate test results. 
  • Active ZeroLine Technology – The BACtrack smartphone breathalysers has the ZeroLine technology, which estimates how long the BAC will drop to 0.00%. The new Active ZeroLine is exclusive to the BACtrack Apple Watch app. It shows a continuous countdown of the BAC level at a glance away. 

The BACtrack Smartphone Breathalysers and the BACtrack App Compatibility

The Accuracy of Professional Breathalysers

Effective alcohol breath tests rely on the quality of the device to deliver accurate BAC results. Most alcohol testers at Breathalysers New Zealand employ fuel cell sensor technology to measure the BAC level accurately. The BACtrack’s Xtend fuel cell sensors can trace complete alcohol concentrations expected in the breath from 0.00 to 0.400% BAC. Furthermore, fuel cell breathalysers are specific to ethyl alcohol and do not interact with other substances. Thus, there is less likely to produce false positives, even for people with diabetes. Additionally, fuel cell sensors maintain consistency longer and despite back-to-back tests. It is the same technology that law enforcement use in roadside screening. Therefore, BAC tests are more efficient with the combined pro-grade accuracy of BACtrack breathalysers and the advanced features of the BACtrack Apple Watch app.

BACtrack Apple Watch: Redefining Alcohol Breath Testing

Alcohol affects individuals differently. Some people who have a low tolerance tend to get intoxicated quickly. Meanwhile, others can manage their intoxication despite consuming more amounts. This is because many individuals influence the BAC. The factors that affect the BAC are a person’s weight, age, body fat content, hydration level, food intake, and metabolism rate. Thus, it is crucial to understand how different alcoholic beverages affect you to moderate your intake. In this regard, the BACtrack for Apple Watch offers useful functions for convenient BAC monitoring. The pro-grade accuracy and the Active ZeroLine technology help make informed safety decisions.

Many people had difficulty assessing their sobriety without a monitoring tool such as a breathalyser. The great importance of alcohol testing is determining the BAC level or degree of impairment. The BACtrack for Apple Watch and breathalysers give consistent, accurate results for critical BAC monitoring. Additionally, breathalysers help keep individuals from reaching the legal alcohol limits. For instance, most people tend to slow their consumption when they see their BAC level approaches the legal limit (0.05%). Likewise, a glance at the Apple Watch lets you know how long your BAC level will return to 0.00%. Lastly, breathalysers are proven to deter drink driving and reduce the risks of accidents. You may purchase the BACtrack devices at Breathalysers New Zealand, and download the BACtrack for Apple Watch app for free in Apple Store.
