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
Excellent and wide-ranging ability to track metrics for personal health. Comfortable. Includes a vibration alarm with a few unique functions. Gorgeous, well-designed iPhone and Android apps.
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 tracks personal health and fitness very thoroughly in a stellar mobile app for iOS and Android, but it's not the best fitness tracker we've tested. A few unique features do give it special appeal, though....

Abstract: I have been on a mission to lose weight (lost 23 lbs so far) and improve my fitness in 2012 and have been using an assortment of different life tracking tools to help me out. Last year, I was excited about the Jawbone UP and then it failed a couple of tim...
Abstract: In the year we've waited anxiously for Jawbone to re-release its fitness tracker, the company has been hard at work trying to perfect every last detail. While Up was certainly a trailblazer when it first debuted and is still a perfectly respectable he...
The shine quickly rubbed off the original UP, but all signs point to Jawbone having learned its lesson. The new hardware feels sturdier than before, and the more stringent tolerances mean we now have no qualms about wearing UP in the shower or pool. M...

The new Jawbone Up is comfortable and durable, but iOS-only support means this gadget only makes sense for iPhone users.
