It consists of a flexible rubber-coated wristband and accompanying iPhone and Android app,<br \/>\nUP allows users to track their sleep, eating habits, and daily activity including steps taken and calories burned. The wristband is water-resistant and designed to be worn 24\/7, with a rechargeable battery that lasts for up to 10 days at a time.[7] The wristband also features a vibration motor that can be programmed as an alarm to wake users in the best phase of their natural sleep cycle, or act as a reminder when users have been sedentary too long.[4] The UP app includes a social-networking platform designed to add an extra layer of motivation within the system. UP users can view their friends\u2019 data and engage in challenges with other users.[4] Additionally, as a part of the UP Platform, Jawbone partnered with fitness related apps including: IFTTT, LoseIt!, Maxwell Health, MapMyFitness, MyFitnessPal, Notch, RunKeeper, Sleepio,Wello, and Withings.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Use of the jawbone Up<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nI have been using this activity tracker for about a month now and these are what I find useful with the device with the app, at first sight, download the app, reg on the <a href=\"\/\/jawbone.com\/up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">site<\/a> and sync your band to your account. I really like the user interface of the app aside from Looseit app, you can use them both but you will have to pay Looseit for it to sync with the band as well.<br \/>\nI wasn\u2019t expecting to pay for this feature but in order for the ease of use that is what you have to do. I like the up app from all the other apps out there cause of it fresh GUI it is very easy to spot your activities and things you eat, the app also give you tips for health improvement. With some charts under your input levels of today.<br \/>\nThe charts are very clear and colorful to read this is before the 3.0 app and with the update of the 3.0 app that is tailored for the up24 band it takes nothing away from users of the up band. The band you can wear it anyway you like it doesn\u2019t matter where you position the opening sections on your wrist it will work. I prefer mine on top of my rest instead of all the images on the web.<br \/>\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/store.jawbone.com\/store\/aliphcom\/DisplayHomePage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">jawboneup is available for 129.00<\/a> and you can choose from four different colors <strong>Onyx<\/strong>, <strong>Blue<\/strong>, <strong>Light Grey<\/strong> or <strong>Mint Green<\/strong>, and in sizes <strong>S<\/strong>, <strong>M<\/strong>, <strong>L<\/strong> you can check the site for more details, you can also get accessories as extra caps or the usb cable just in case you lose any that you already have.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Quick Over View Screen.<\/span><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/ashtonesia.com\/intl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/reviews\/jawboneup1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"453\" height=\"680\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Activity Screen.<\/span><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/ashtonesia.com\/intl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/reviews\/jawboneup2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"453\" height=\"680\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Sleep Screen.<\/span><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/ashtonesia.com\/intl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/reviews\/jawboneup3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"453\" height=\"680\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Alert or Tips Screen.<\/span><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/ashtonesia.com\/intl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/reviews\/jawboneup4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"453\" height=\"680\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Status Screen.<\/span><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/ashtonesia.com\/intl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/reviews\/jawboneup5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"453\" height=\"680\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Sync Screen.<\/span><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/ashtonesia.com\/intl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/reviews\/jawboneup6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"453\" height=\"680\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Home Screen.<\/span><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/ashtonesia.com\/intl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/reviews\/jawboneup7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"453\" height=\"680\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Insight on how the band works.<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nThe battery life doesn\u2019t last 100% 10days mine will go as far as 8 days and this is not syncing allot, I sync mine about 2-3 times a day. Tracking your sleep and your steps per day is rock solid. The band is water resistant however I never wet mine or take showers with it, I always take mine off and keep it close by. The band feels solid on my wrist and doesn\u2019t spin on its own, it\u2019s very comfortable even when I type on a computer, or put on allot of clothes.<br \/>\nWhen I track my sleep I notice once you put the band into sleep mode do not get up and do anything or else the sleep mode will shut off, you will think it\u2019s on but it will turn off on its own, I had this happen to me 2 nights in a row trying to put the band in sleep mode ahead of bed time. Sleeping with the band is very easy and comfortable and the alarm is a really nice feature for a quite wakeup in the morning or for a super sleep, it vibrates really cool. The new 3.0 app I\u2019m not a big fan of but it works as for the greetings when you achieve goals I never saw them and I do a major amount of foot work but I get the cards that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Strength.<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a band strong enough to last years if well taken care of, it tracks your activities always, simple to use with minimum effort the parts are strong and will not wear out from constant on and off of the cap, and is nice you have on your wrist for everyday use. Battery life is pretty good for weekly usage.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Weakness.<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nNot much to say here, you can\u2019t submerse the band in water like for a swim or anything to that extent.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">OS.<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nRuns on both the Iphone and Android.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7886\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ashtonesia.com\/intl\/wp-content\/uploads\/div_small_bot1.png\" alt=\"divider\" width=\"508\" height=\"20\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ashtonesia.com\/intl\/wp-content\/uploads\/div_small_bot1.png 508w, https:\/\/www.ashtonesia.com\/intl\/wp-content\/uploads\/div_small_bot1-300x11.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13907,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[540],"tags":[238,109],"class_list":["post-7581","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech","tag-jawbone-up","tag-review"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ashtonesia.com\/intl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7581","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ashtonesia.com\/intl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ashtonesia.com\/intl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ashtonesia.com\/intl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ashtonesia.com\/intl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7581"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ashtonesia.com\/intl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7581\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ashtonesia.com\/intl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13907"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ashtonesia.com\/intl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7581"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ashtonesia.com\/intl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7581"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ashtonesia.com\/intl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7581"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
