BSX Insight Trade-In & Switch to MOXY
The options moving forwards with BSX Insight look fairly stark.
DCRAINMAKER seems to have been in contact with numerous people connected to BSX Insight and has declared that “BSX Insight Is Dead“.

Some (all?WAHOO…no?) of the BSX Insight functionality requires the online service to be running and if BSX Insight is not running it then that doesn’t leave too much to put in your BSX compression sleeve.
Shame I quite liked it in some respects. And I appreciate that many people were more sceptical than me.
So you’re pretty much “stuffed” (English phrase).
If you want to keep using Muscle Oxygen metrics in your training then BSX’s competitor, MOXY Monitor, have a perfectly timed and crafted offer to give you a notable discount on their product in return for your BSX Insight device. I guess $150 off a $820 product is not worth ignoring.
CONSIDER:
MOXY is more of a pro- or lab-based solution. You’ll probably need to understand the data really well.
BSX Insight was able to do the MO stats BUT ALSO included a neat threshold test. That test isn’t in MOXY in the same, accessible form.
I have no link to MOXY and their recent direct email offer is shown below for you to read the details:

BSX Insight Trade-in
Moxy Monitor, the world’s most accurate Muscle Oxygen sensor, is being used by leading coaches and athletes in 28 countries. Moxy is the clear leader in physiology based performance training. We’ll give you $150 in exchange for your BSX Insight when you buy a Moxy.
“We have extensively used both the BSX & Moxy muscle oxygenation sensors in our human performance labs. We like the increased insight from Moxy devices due to the flexibility of using the sensors over various muscle locations as well as more inclusive data (SMO2 & THB). We have appreciated the ease of the wireless connectivity of the Moxy device to ANT+ watches for increased feedback during various experiments.” – Randolph Hutchison – Furman University |

Why Is Moxy Offering A Trade-In?
We appreciate everyone who has helped to push the science of muscle oxygen monitoring of athletes further, no matter what device they use. Science can be very challenging. We salute those that do it well.
We have considered offering a trade-in program for BSX Insight owners for a while now. We’ve known about some of the limitations of the device’s measurement performance. See this video from this past January or for more depth, see this webinar.
With BSX ending support for the Insight, the timing seemed right to move forward with a trade-in program. Our goal is to help athletes that recognize the value of oxygen monitoring and have made investments of time and money learning about muscle oxygen monitoring continue to pursue their personal performance goals.
Our motivation at Moxy is to help athletes in their pursuit of human excellence through sport performance. That’s the spirit of this offer and we invite you to join us.

How Do I Start The Trade-In Process?
The button below will take you to the Moxy store. We’ve created a product for the trade-in. Add the number of Insights that you want to trade in to your cart and then go to our online store and add in the same number or more of Moxy sensors. This is good for any bundle. The cart will automatically calculate the total price including the trade ins at checkout.
One „little“ issue I have with it: The Moxy pricing is ridiculous (http://swinco.ch/shop/Index.php?route=product/product&path=61&product_id=67) ?
yes it seems more expensive than when i looked a few years ago. I guess they now have a monopoly.
Agree it’s not cheap and the real fun starts with three and more of them … but then again it’s all relative to what you compare it with…
Did they raise their price? Don’t think so.
will they raise their price…hope not
