The wearability factor on this is huge. The Yves Behar-designed band looks fantastic
And more to the point works well as an accessory. The big problem with fitness monitors has been nailing a form factor that's truly go-anywhere. If you have to take some

The editors didn't like
The cap that covers the connecting jack tends to pop off. Lose it
And it costs $10 to replace
Plus $5 in shipping if you order from Jawbone's store. You get a three pack for that
But it means that replacement caps effectively cost somewhere between $3-

Too tedious to add foods to the food log

Currently doesn’t work
A complete hardware fail. Social interaction features are dull. Hardware interface is too simple to be useful.
No real display. Doesn't measure heart rate. Sleep data only shows light vs. sound sleep. Finicky tap input mechanism. Not swim-proof
For iOS and Android only
Doesn't work with personal computers. No data readouts on band itself. Doesn't sync with other devices such as connected scales or heart rate monitors. No wireless syncing. Not discreet to wear
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
It doesn't have a display to quickly check fitness progress and there's no heart-rate tracking. The sleep tracking tends to overestimate and the band can't be worn while swimming
Difficult to fasten
Doesn't automatically enter sleep mode
Wonky smart alarm
No Bluetooth
Lacks Android app
Requires an iPhone or android app to view data — no display on device
Not completely waterproof
Fiddly clasp
Meal tracking is a joke
App software is clearly a 1.0 work
Data management not as fun or robust as Fitbit
You'll lose the cap eventually
Syncing is a chore. Sleep tracking could be better. Those replacement caps really ought to be free

While the Jawbone UP set itself apart from the competition when it originally launched, it can no longer consider itself the leader of the pack, especially since the retail price of the UP remains unchanged, at $129.99. Although it's been pulled from t...

I was quite impressed by what the Jawbone UP delivered in the way of accuracy and encouragement for a more active lifestyle which, funnily enough, also includes keeping track of the most inactive period in our daily life: our sleep. For less than 145 buc...
Abstract: When Jawbone's UP wristband was released in late 2011, I was excited. Then I was disappointed. The motion-tracking band seemed like a perfect step into wearable tech at the time, but its companion app wasn't available for Android. Whether and why Jawbo...

The Jawbone UP tracks personal health and fitness very thoroughly in a stellar mobile app for iOS and Android, but it's not the best fitness tracker we've tested. A few unique features do give it special appeal, though....

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...

Abstract: In the year we've waited anxiously for Jawbone to re-release its fitness tracker, the company has been hard at work trying to perfect every last detail. While Up was certainly a trailblazer when it first debuted and is still a perfectly respectable he...
