I love this fitness tracker because it is small and unassuming, and it is quite accurate. I wear it on the waist band of my pants every day and on the collar of my shirt every night. I paid $19.99 on Best Buy on-line during a sale, and it is by far the best deal if you are looking to keep track of steps taken, mileage walked, and to keep a log of your sleeping patterns. I had a Fitbit wrist tracker in the past, but it was poor quality, and the charger stopped working after only a month. I returned it and waited about a year before I decided to try the Jawbone UpMove, on the recommendation of a coworker. It keeps track of how many minutes it takes me to fall asleep, how many hours and minutes I slept, and how much of that time was restful vs. light sleep. It also tracks my steps and miles walked and run, but I did notice that when I run, the mileage is a little low compared to what I actually ran. You can also track your eating/diet with this product, but I have yet to utilize that function. I am very happy with this product so far, and for $20, you can't go wrong. I prefer this type of wearable technology to the wrist band I used to have, as it was somewhat bulky and annoying when I slept. I forget the UpMove is even there; I just have to be vigilant that I don't put it in the wash!

This is an entry-level activity tracker, but what's great about it is that it allows you to use the same Jawbone app that other higher-end Jawbone devices use. You do give up a few features, but the basic things (steps, sleep, exercise time, calories) are all here, and for most people, that's enough. It is a lot better than a basic pedometer. It counts steps obviously, but on your phone, it also graphs it for you so you can see throughout the day when you are most active, and that might motivate you to do more. One advantage that it offers is that it doesn't need to be attached to your wrist, so for cycling exercise (indoors or outdoors), you can keep it in your pocket and it will track the spins for you. With a wrist band, you cannot know how many spins you've made because usually the wrist is stationary. The battery lasts a long time (it says 6 months). I've had it for about 2 months, and it is still going strong. So unless you want more advanced things like heart rate, GPS and message notifications, this is a very good and low-cost way to start tracking your activities.
