Jawbone - UP24 Wristband (Medium) - Onyx

I bought this on a closeout deal so it was pretty inexpensive. Didn't want to spend a lot because I was not sure how useful it would be. But after a few months of using it, I have to say I am pretty impressed. It delivers in terms of tracking activities (assuming you remember to keep it on) and tracking your sleep. And provides gentle reminders to get up and get moving (if you choose to use that feature). Seems fairly accurate in terms of measuring movement although it has no idea how extreme that movement is so the calorie counts provided are somewhat suspect. Sleep tracker provides interesting info since you obviously have no idea of sleep patterns since you are asleep. The software you must download to capture the data is very well designed. Syncing via Bluetooth works fine on my Android phone (Apple supported too). You can do that as often and as little as you want. I can store days, maybe weeks of data but if you keep Bluetooth on your phone all the time, it will sync several times a day. Charge lasts a couple of weeks, which is good. My only gripe is it is not the most comfortable thing to wear . Newer models seems to have a better design in this regard since they are more adjustable. I have small wrists, bought a medium (this version comes in small, medium and large) and still find it too tight. A good activity tracker to buy if you have never had one since the cost is low and it works exactly as advertised.

Jawbone is very accurate when it comes to tracking your steps and amount of sleep you get each night. Battery life is phenomenal. I only need to charge it for an hour every two weeks. Jawbone customer service was very helpful when i first purchased the product and there was an issue with connectivity. No issues since. Does not get a perfect rating because it does not track heartrate and food intake counter needs improvement. I stopped recording my food intake because it was inconvenient

Easy to take on and off. Coordinates well with my iPhone. Like the little health comments. Like the updates and reminders sent to my iPhone. Sleep info is interesting but essentially is only relative to reality, but does allow comparative analysis. Would like a fully water proof capability, then personally would like it to track swimming directly instead of as an add activity.

I've used many fitness bands over the last few years. I've had the Nike Fuelband, Fitbit Flex, and Fitbit Force. I would say the Jawbone Up24 keeps up or is better than all of these. And the minimal band does look nice and kind of stylish. First one of the things I really like about the Up24 is that it doesn't feel like a big clunky sports watch or uncomfortable fitness band like I've previously used. I like the minimal feel of the band it as I wear it on my right wrist as I still like to wear a watch. This is one of the key reasons I like the Up24. As for recording of steps and sleep logging, both seem to work as well as my previous Fitbit bands. So I have no issues with that, and the software is not bad, although I do prefer Fitbit's software more. One thing I do miss is having the time output on the device, but I will deal with not having it to retain the more minimal design. If you are looking for step, sleep tracking, and a minimal designed band...this is the band for you.

I was very excited about getting my Jawbone. I have wanted one for some time now. Nothing fancy just a little feedback on performance and it does just that! Super fast charge that holds for more than a week. I can see not only my daytime activity but my sleep patterns as well! It's great feedback that all syncs to my phone! (The UP app is also very user friendly) I couldn't have asked for a better tracker to start with. It's also comfortable and doesn't irritate me at all. The only con that I might have is that it's not water proof.

Originally I was going to get the newest Jawbone on the market, but they kept pushing its release back. Even without the advanced tracking some of these things have, I would recommend this fitness tracker. The sleep tracker had actually helped me improve my sleep habits in a month. It's pretty accurate for everything, and the food tracker is great too! The battery lasts for a really long time for the size, as well. The only thing that I've had problems with were some glitches with recording that meant it didn't record during an update to the software. Also, I'm not overly excited over having to manually change the mode that I'm in -- sleep or active -- to track. If you forget to change into sleep mode, there's a 25% chance you won't be able to recover the data and convert it.

I've owned both the Fitbit Flex and the UP24. The app for the jawbone UP24 is vastly superior to the Fitbit app. Also the UP24 is a million times more accurate - with the Fitbit Flex I would get a couple hundred steps for brushing my teeth, or hundreds more for sitting in a massage chair! I wore both for several days and the Fitbit overcomunted by more than 50%, even when I walked several hundred steps counting while the UP24 was VERY close and sometimes perfect. And another thing is that the UP24 tracks your sleep way more accurately than the Fitbit. In addition, the UP24 will wake you within 30 min (you can set interval) of your alarm time and wake you during your light sleep as opposed to deep sleep. The Flex simply vibrates at the time you set regardless of sleep pattern. And finally, the Fitbit Flex is a pain to put on and take off every time you shower or swim while the UP24 is totally simple and takes about a half a second. And the battery lasts for a good two-weeks which is longer than the Fitbit was. Having owned both types (we have 5 of us in my family with them) we all definitely choose the UP24 even though we originally thought we wanted the Fitbit. No competition, I wouldn't waste my money on the FitBit, the UP24 is that much superior!!

I bought the Jawbone UP24 after doing a lot of research on the fitness and sleep monitors. It was rated the highest out of some of the other similarly priced bands. I really like it because it is thinner than most bands out there so it looks more like an accessory vs. an actual fitness band. It comes on and off very easy and cleans off with just a wipe. It was easy to set up and easy to switch from awake mode to sleeping mode. Even if you forget to switch it to sleep mode, it still knows that you were probably sleeping and asks you to confirm. It has been a eye opener to see what me steps and sleep patterns have been. I always thought I was getting enough sleep but realized I am not getting as much as I thought I was getting and with this band it has helped me change me sleep habits and I feel much better. I also thought I was moving more than I was so it has helped me get up and move around a more. If I find myself sitting for more than a few minutes not doing anything I have been getting up to move around more to reach my goal. I get an update when I reach my goals each day and you can set it so it gives you a summary of your day's progress midway through your day (or whenever) so you know to keep going. The only downside is that it is not waterproof so you have to take it off go shower or go swimming etc. We also have a riding lawn mower and I have to take it off when I mow the lawn because it thinks I am walking when in fact I am riding the lawn mower at a slow pace.
