Jawbone UP Wristband Movement and Sleep Tracker Review

[@AnEnglishmanInNewYork71]

Great review...Just picked up two for myself and the wife. Looking forward to fitness over 40+ Thanks for the motivation

[@getfitover40]

Thanks - Fitness trackers are great tools to help with a complete health and fitness lifestyle.

[@FSJfamily]

I just bought this Jawbone from Karachi Pakistan. it does the job and i am happy with this. I was bit confused about the setup but dude your video helped alot thankyyy

[@getfitover40]

Glad you're enjoying the Jawbone and that my video helped you out!

[@hasnain1111]

Arif Farooq from bro where did you buy in Karachi and for how much ..can you please tell me the shop where its available in stock ?

[@ronaglenda]

No Rash or redness. I have sensitive skin too. No problems. This is an older activity tracker but still good because of the robust app. Love mine. I have other activity trackers and smart watches...I wanted this because I didn't want another Bluetooth device connected to my device. This works great and is simple to use.

[@getfitover40]

Yes you can, it vibrates and wakes you when you are not in a deep sleep.

[@getfitover40]

The sleep portion is not all that important to me but it does give me an idea of the quality of my sleep not just how long I slept. So deep sleep versus light sleep which makes a big difference! I do get more out of how it tracks the calories I burn during the day time, this way if I am trying to lose, gain or maintain weight, I know how many calories I can eat.

[@getfitover40]

There is a button you press to change modes. You have to remember to do this.

[@getfitover40]

It basically reads movement and tries to determine by that movement what you are doing and then convert that into an intensity reading, so it will read lots of different movement that you are doing, not just walking. At least that's my take on it.

[@getfitover40]

It was a bit tight. I ended up getting the Fitbit Flex instead and I am waiting on getting my Fitbit Force. I gave away my Jawbone UP to one of my subscribers.

[@getfitover40]

Thanks, was fun to review and great to have to keep track of things.

[@getfitover40]

The Up and Flex both track basic step style movement, walking, running and some other stuff, if you do things like swimming, weights, elliptical, biking then you should enter that in manually and it will override the time you enter in.

[@getfitover40]

Sorry you didn't get anything out of my video, setup is pretty easy, Jawbone has a manual for that, I thought I would give people an overview of what the UP actually does and doesn't do, not sure what part you are talking about when referring to me "Ranting"?

[@getfitover40]

I have not tired the Nike one, not really interested in it to be honest. I do want to try the wrist band Fitbit version when I can get one.

[@getfitover40]

Mine worked fine for the two months or so that I used it, I did have the button fall off but Jawbone sent me a new band.

[@getfitover40]

I am pretty sure the alarm info gets sent and stored on the band so no need to be close to the iPhone, there is no Bluetooth on it anyways. I am not sure where the data is computed but I know for sure the info is stored on the band for a period of time.

[@honorthelegend1]

Sorry I meant to say this was a great guide, I have made up my mind am getting this.

[@Marixomia]

I just added some radom guys, very interesting to see other guys workout result and sleeping status!

[@getfitover40]

There is a setting in the Fitbit Aria for people who have a more athletic build (people who weight train and have more muscle, less fat overall) I did not have mine setup with this setting originally.) Now that I have corrected it and I am also a bit leaner I am sitting around 6% body fat according to my Fitbit Aria Scale and App.

[@matobesman]

I bought the UP today... :) I'm excited! How long does it take to charge it?

[@getfitover40]

The idea is that it is supposed to wake you when you are not in a deep sleep but you can always have a backup alarm just in case. I sleep pretty deep too and it usually wakes me up.

[@jspr.k]

thanks :). but is the overall accurateness of the pedometer and sleep tracking good?

[@matobesman]

Thank you for this review!! I've been debating between the fitbit one and this jawbone up. Have you tried the Nike Fuelband?? I think I am going to go with the Up but wonder about the Nike one....?? Thanks again!!!

[@getfitover40]

That's what I heard too but I have not used it so it's hard to say?

[@getfitover40]

You can wear it in the shower for sure and for splashing around in a pool, just don't go to deep with it.

[@era3z]

Yeah watched it... Awesome review...

[@era3z]

Well.. I just bought fitbit flex for me and my wife... The complaint about jawbone UP being not able to power up is too damn much... Nice review though

[@MrMaxy888]

hey thx for the vid just two little things! :) there is a feature that makes your jawbone up vibrate after being in active for 45 mins, and wou were wearing it the wrong way round. the bit that has the button and the 5mm jack goes on the bottom XD thanks for the vid tho

[@getfitover40]

Sure it could, you would use it the same way but make sure you intake a bit more calories than you burn.

[@getfitover40]

I am now using the Fitbit Flex, I made some reviews for it already

[@era3z]

I read from the jawbone forum, a lot of UP suddenly not working (red light lights on and nothing u can do, including soft reset and hard reset) after 2 weeks - 2 months... How about yours? I want one myself, but i'm going to do some research first..

[@axekoyo]

I just got one today. Still trying to figure it out...just wonder if I can wear it in the shower or to swim...?

[@getfitover40]

I don't think it matters which way you wear it?

[@getfitover40]

I am not sure I understand the question, what watch?

[@hard2find3]

Sorry i made mistake with my comment ! Do i have to log everything i did (e.x Running , jogging etc ) or there is way that the up is able to log it itself ? And what about the fitbitflex in this point ?

[@tonyaluvs2dancensing]

how well does it stay on during exercises that require more movement with the arms like jumping jacks, martial arts?

[@getfitover40]

This unit is old and I don't think made anymore as this video is 4 years. It stayed on pretty good in general for me but the way the ends stick up would not make it ideal for activities like martial arts since it could catch on your opponent while sparring or wrestling.

[@getfitover40]

The Android App came out yesterday, you can get it as a free download for Android on Google Play.

[@75marlar]

On your menu you had an app setting and underneath it said log workout and log sleep; mine does not have that listed. How do I add it?

[@getfitover40]

This software was from a year ago so the App has probably changed now. I do not use the Jawbone UP anymore so I am not sure how they have changed it.

[@Squince84]

I just got mine. Do you know how you're supposed to wear it? I just assumed with the open side on the inside of my wrist, but you seem to have it on the outer side..? confused :)

[@isabelzappi682]

i would appreciate some guidance. My JAWBONE worked fine for months... but recently told me tu update from UP to UP24. That I have not managed to do!!! so it is not working now...

[@getfitover40]

This video review is from 2013 so we are looking at some old tech here. If you have this unit it is most likely obsolete now and I would consider getting something more up to date.

[@JRskatr]

I heard the Fuelband has a lot less features on their companion app..

[@tonyaluvs2dancensing]

will it track heart rate? is a separate app needed for that?

[@getfitover40]

This review and product are from 2013. Optical wrist worn heart rate monitors where not generally onboard fitness bands back then but are common place now. Usually the band will have a display that shows you your heart rate and the App will also include the data.

[@iDragid]

Does this item gives people rash or redness on their wrist?

[@nukekiller101]

Great product.

[@getfitover40]

To be honest it is my least favorite of all the fitness bands I have used but to give Jawbone credit, it was one of their earlier bands and I have not tried a newer version lately.

[@honorthelegend1]

His is a great guide

[@DanteD1123]

How does it know that your up or when you fell asleep?

[@caribbeangyul2]

You can track your workouts by using the stop watch

[@getfitover40]

This unit does not have a display?

[@getfitover40]

caribbeangyul2 Sorry, I don't remember using that feature when I had mine, I don;t use it anymore.

[@ibook1000]

can i set up wake up alarm... i mean does it vibrate ?? please answer me i really need it

[@getfitover40]

Glad it was helpful!

[@akashakashkandiyan6850]

Nice video

[@MrJakezxz1]

Why do you need a bracelet to tell you when you're sleeping? When you're sleeping, you're asleep, when you're awake, you're awake..? I find your video factual and perfectly informative, I'm just questioning the product thoroughly. I don't understand/see the point of them, if you have to tell the app and the bracelet what you're doing, what is the point? You know you're doing it anyway..?

[@sharronclark7485]

You paid $125.00 for that, LOL!🤣

[@getfitover40]

You do know this video was made over 10 years ago when this device was cutting edge.

[@getfitover40]

Not sure, something I have not tried?

[@Marixomia]

Hi! how can we share the teammate option?

[@bianka03309]

What size do you have it in?

[@getfitover40]

This was a while back, I think it was the smaller one?

[@jspr.k]

Is the pedometer accurate? Mine is up counting even though i do nothing :/

[@axekoyo]

Oh, BTW, it's a nice review. Thanks! :)

[@kemkem582]

Well!! There goes his chance of being a hand model.

[@getfitover40]

I'd say so!

[@getfitover40]

I don't see why not, should be able to just plug into the USB port on the charger.

[@getfitover40]

I lie wearing it on top so I don't scratch up my computer stuff while I type ;)

[@TheVee909]

I'm scared of U ppl but thanks for the review didn't know they had something like this already out,

[@RxAxNxDx0xM]

I noticed in your app it says your 17% bodyfat. Is that accurate? Because you dont look like your 17%. Or maybe im blind and didnt see the number right lol

[@hard2find3]

Do i have to log everything in h

[@dplaya1499]

Feedback - wish you had shown how much it vibrates and how the alarm app works: does it also play music after a period? etc. great vid otherwise

[@getfitover40]

dplaya It's been a while since I wore mine, this video is a couple of years old and Jawbone has a lot of new and inporved bands now. It was not a super strong vibration but did the job, I can't even remember much about the alarm other than you had to set it in the software on the phone and needed to sync to get the info to the band.

[@akashakashkandiyan6850]

Nice

[@getfitover40]

Only a few hours tops.

[@41rjenkins]

I enjoy this new Video I know I will see more LOL

[@justiceforall1744]

can u track runs with this ?

[@getfitover40]

Justice For ALL Sure, fitness bands track step based activities really well, so walking, running, hiking... Just not activities where you are not doing steps that much, so like weight training, biking...

[@doeordie2000]

+Justice For ALL yes you can

[@isaccrosenthal]

touching 3 times at the icon to work? Must quickly switch to Samsung....

[@akashakashkandiyan6850]

I am very like

[@TheEvilmooseofdoom]

It tracks your sleep.. You have to tell it you're asleep though so it doesn't actually track when you're asleep. For the first 5 days I had mine I didn't switch modes.. and according to it I was up for 5 days straight without a second of sleep. It also says I burn something like 4000 calories in 3 hours and on and on.. It's terrible. I don't think it tracks ANYTHING very well at all, the data is entirely meaningless. In short it's a pure gimmick for OCD types.. Nothing else. I would wager the fitbit is little better. I think the main drive of these devices is not improving ones health but giving you something ELSE to add to all those waste of life social media sites. Now you and your friends can compare how you burn 12,000 calories in a gentle day of doing nothing. I am highly unimpressed.

[@eezeedoesit]

dang man.. i came here to learn something on how to use n set up and am none the wiser apart from a few frantic rantings about certain things you do?

[@akashakashkandiyan6850]

Nice jawbone

[@getfitover40]

Sounds a bit creepy ;)

[@7up8down13]

I donot like the thick of this watch... how thick it is...

[@beckderm]

RFID Tags - VeriChip

[@bluepawn]

It looks too small for you. You should get a bigger one.

[@GaiusGaiusGaius]

what is your brain for now???

[@getfitover40]

Maybe you should go crawl back under your rock...

[@eezeedoesit]

no disrepect but have a look at this in comparison to learn from that? watch?v=bujDB258xxw

[@getfitover40]
