The editors didn't like
Expensive
Limited functionality
No wireless
Doesn't charge while syncing
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
Not really an improvement on the Up 24 or Up Move
Except on design
Band can clip arm hair
Still no smart band features
So no notifications on phone calls or messages
Water resistance is less like resistance
More like restarting to deal with the wate
Terrible charger
Temperamental touchscreen
Compatibility issues with Android
No wireless syncronising
Food tracking hit and miss
A little expensive
Buckle a little awkward for us
Logging food can be a chore
Best results obtained when wearing it all the time
Not fully waterproof
$149.95
Despite being able to monitor muscle movement and twitching
It can't work out when to switch itself into night's sleep mode
Can't be used when swimming or surfing
Android app can be buggy and only likes some devices
Attractive design, Great smartphone app, 10 day battery life
Expensive, Limited functionality, No wireless, Doesn't charge while syncing

Jawbone's Up is certainly an interesting interpretation of how a fitness monitoring band should work, and the company has really pulled some neat ideas together in this gadget, but it won't be for everyone.We're big fans of the sleep functionality, and th...

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...

Jawbone continues to iterate on the UP band, each time incorporating a few important updates. In this case, compared to the UP and UP24, the new band mechanism of the UP2 is more comfortable, less likely to catch on hair and clothing, and means you place...
