At first glance the UP looks great. It's embossed
Expensive

Abstract: Back in April, I reviewed the Jawbone UP . It's rarely been off my wrist since then, but has it improved my overall fitness?The theory is simple, as it is with any given bit of fitness gear. Buy it, the advertising says, and within weeks you'll start to l...

Jawbone UP provides you with a great set of tools at your disposal, so you can have a healthier lifestyle. It has an ample amount of battery life (about 10 days before you have to recharge) and accessible anytime, anywhere (considering it'll always be ar...

Has the UP made me markedly fitter in the couple of weeks I've been testing it?Not yet. But data is a useful resource, and data of this type provides a strong impetus to do something about my general levels of fitness. I've taken to doing laps of an oval...
Attractive design, Great smartphone app, 10 day battery life
Expensive, Limited functionality, No wireless, Doesn't charge while syncing
It looks good and it certainly seems to work as intended, but if you were hoping that the Up was something more than a pedometer in fancy dress, then you'll be disappointed. Especially considering that At $149 it is twice the price of most step-counters....
Comfortable to wear, Well designed app, Smart alarm feature
No wireless syncronising, Food tracking hit and miss, A little expensive
The Jawbone Up is an excellent motivational tool and has a couple of nice extra features, but its overpriced and the lack of wireless syncronising is a real downside...
Water resistant means you can use it in the shower; The Up app puts together some useful information and allows you to watch your friends; Using 3.5mm to transfer data is a pretty cool concept; Great battery life;
Despite being able to monitor muscle movement and twitching, it can't work out when to switch itself into night's sleep mode; Can't be used when swimming or surfing; Android app can be buggy and only likes some devices;
Jawbone's Up is certainly an interesting interpretation of how a fitness monitoring band should work, and the company has really pulled some neat ideas together in this gadget, but it won't be for everyone.We're big fans of the sleep functionality, and th...

Despite its problems, the second generation UP is a much-improved activity tracker. Take a look beneath the rubber shell, and you can immediately tell that the company overhauled the manufacturing process, going so far as to invent their own standard for...

The Jawbone Up is comfortable, durable, and effortless to wear. Its mobile app is intuitive and presents data well
The Jawbone Up lacks a screen. It only syncs with iPhones and some Android devices, so there's no other way to view your fitness data. It connects via a less convenient wired connection
The new Jawbone Up is comfortable and durable, but limited support means this gadget won't make sense for many phone users....

Slim and light design, Impressive app interface, Smart coach and social feed are great motivators
Buckle a little awkward for us, Logging food can be a chore, Best results obtained when wearing it all the time
we found that the Jawbone UP2 under-counted our steps when we compared it to our benchmark device, a Fitbit Ultra. Over the course of a day, there were parts where the step counts were close between the devices, but at the end of the day, there was some...
Jawbone's premium fitness wearables are good products, but having used both we can't recommend the UP3 over the UP2 for everyone. Advanced sleep tracking and heart health monitoring don't justify the UP3's Rs. 14,999 pricing. If you're willing to spend th...
