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-

Wake and inactivity alerts don't work consistently
Too tedious to add foods to the food log

If you wear too loosely
It can come unclasped
Aluminum casing contains a small amount of nickel (less than 0.5%)

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
Simple to use, one button operation, 10 day battery, Soft and flexible, 8 different colours to choose from, No Bluetooth, Great looking app, Lots of insight, Works on both Android and iOS
Cap is easy to lose, App requires a constant data connection, Some sync issue between third party apps, App not compatible with many Android Tablets, Not fully waterproof, No Windows phone support, Design, At first glance the UP looks great. It's embossed
UP is stylish, comfortable and - with an RRP of £99.99 - comes at a great price. The insights it can offer on a day-to-day basis are great and it can really help you get more sleep and take more steps. It can also keep track of your food and integrate it...

Not a bad price, companion app is really good, helps keep you motivated, simple to use, reasonably inexpensive, good battery life
Can get in the way at times, calorie counting and sleep tracking aren't hard sciences
We found ourselves quickly becoming used to wearing the Up. Yet even now, there are times when we notice it. Typing on a laptop can sometimes be bothersome, with it clattering away on the wrist rest, but apart from that it's comfortable to wear, lig...

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...
Simplicity is the UP's greatest strength, but for some people it's just too basic. The absence of a display and wireless synching is annoying, especially when the UP costs considerably more than monitors such as the Fitbit One which have many more feature...

Abstract: Jawbone's Up, the fitness-tracking wristband, first went on sale more than a year ago but ended up being withdrawn because of reliability problems. Jawbone redesigned Up from scratch, making it sturdier and fixing problems with water resistance. The ne...

Tailored health tips, Good battery life, Quick charging
Water resistant not waterproof, No wireless synching, Complicated food logging
A hugely impressive first offering for the wellbeing tech sector, the Jawbone UP is one of the best all-encompassing health trackers on the market but is kept from greatness by a few small niggling issues.While the nutrition section is touted as a key
Jawbone up covers a range of lifestyle issues although the food aspect of the program is rather too basic. Still, it’s neat-looking and simple to use although currently for iOS only. The only real concern is the Jawbone tip that covers the 3.5mm headp...
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...
