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-

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
Very cheap at the moment, Good looking and comfortable, Excellent accompanying app
No heart-rate monitor, Doesn't count floors, Not waterproof
Despite its age, the Jawbone UP2 still represents a very good buy right now for those interested in getting a simple yet effective analysis of their fitness and eating habits.It's attractive and well-designed, and the app is superb, tracking all the infor...
Not waterproof, Doesn't really do a lot, Annoying clasp
Jawbone has set itself up as one of the leaders in activity and sleep tracking. The UP2 band is smart, attractive, light and offers a battery life that lets you largely forget it's even there. A lack of waterproofing and heart rate sensors means it...

Naff clasp on strap, Not waterproof, No heart rate monitoring
While the Jawbone UP2 falls short of the Fitbit Charge HR when it comes to advanced fitness skills, it's a comfortable, good looking and accurate activity tracker that totally nails the basics. The strong fitness tracking, activity tagging, sleep monitori...

Abstract: For those who are as interested in fashion as fitness, the Up is the best looking fitness band out there right now. Its intelligent algorithm does a good job of tracking your steps and logging runs, and will even measure your sleep. It's not Bluetooth-e...
Great Design, Decent Price, Lots of cool features, Also monitors your sleeping patterns
No wireless syncing
Okay, here's the thing: if this were a year ago it would be one of my favorite gadgets ever. Since it's so easy to put on my wrist and forget about and effortlessly helps me track my movement data it's something that I would have worn all the time, every...
Abstract: I press a button on my hi-tech bracelet to tell it that I'm awake, and immediately plug it into my iPhone to find out how well I've slept – a graph pops up to tell me how much deep sleep I've had. I log how I feel by touching a happy or sad face.My boy...
