Overview, Critique and Comparisons

The UP 24 by Jawbone is part of a growing array of fitness trackers and wristbands available in the market today. It is worn on the wrist, it is very light and comes in a variety of colors. When used with the dedicated UP App, it allows the user to monitor their caloric intake, level of activity and amount of sleep. It does not feature a user interface, unlike the Fitbit Flex Wireless Activity + Sleep Armband, which is probably its nearest competitor in the field. The two retail for around the same price.  The UP 24 is also quite bulky in comparison and some users have reported that this factor can be a bit of a nuisance, unlike the Fitbit Flex which has a traditional watch strap design. Another thing to consider is that the UP 24 only supports Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity.

However, what the UP 24 lacks regarding user input or sleekness it more than makes up for with its bundled app software, which is compatible not only with iOS but also Android devices. The UP 24 App ties in seamlessly with the fitness tracker and is an absolute joy to use, according to many of its users. It can deal with a number of different activities, including the use of various kinds of gym equipment, like weights, steppers, elliptical trainers and others. It can be used in various different sports such as hiking, basketball, tennis and yes, even video gaming. If you forget to log on prior, the software allows you to edit your session and include any of your activity un-logged from the start. How cool is that?
