Thankfully, it’s not really much bigger than the Flex so you won’t feel like you’re wearing a big watch. And now with the new FitBit Force, you can see all your data, including steps taken, calories burned and more, right on the gadget–which makes this nerd very, very happy.
I really like how the data is presented on the web and the mobile device I personally found myself checking on my laptop due to the awesome layout and clearer picture, but it’s just as nice on mobile too. It is water resistant, so no need to take it off in the shower, but I wouldn’t suggest you play water polo or anything with it on. My fix: Keep your flex charger in the same place all the time, and charge it anytime you can’t wear it, like if you’re swimming laps. To charge the Flex, you have to take the tiny gadget out of the band and plug it into the charger, which in my world means a lot of pieces you could potentially lose. Because there are different holes, however, the sizing is a little easier to figure out than the UP24 without any real measuring on my part. It definitely took me some time to get the hang of it and even then, I still found myself fumbling. I did find the band to be a bit hard to get on and off alone. As someone who’s on her laptop all day for work, this is an important feature for me. One big thing: It syncs with a desktop or laptop as well as your mobile device. But that’s not the only reason I like the Flex. The FitBit Flex definitely has a few features I love, including a suite of colors that the newer UP24 doesn’t yet have.
And if you’ve got friends who are Jawbone users, you can work together to meet your fitness goals. I also love that you can connect with other friends and users, even share photos (including your meals if you like), for a little healthy competition.īottom Line: If you’re on your iPhone all the time as opposed to a laptop, really like the sleep smart alarm idea, and prefer something more stylish to wear on your arm, go with the Jawbone. And because it’s not closed, kids can pull it off trust us on that one. You don’t want it to be loose like a bangle. Sizing is very important with the UP24, so be sure you check before you buy. It’s possible it’s our own user error, or that we’re rarely idle. However the idle alert, which can let you know when you’ve been sitting around for too long, didn’t work so well for us. One of our favorite parts of the Jawbone UP24 is the sleep smart alarm, which will wake you up based on previously-tracked sleep habits with a gentle buzz during a specific window of time to minimize grogginess. However, if you’re an extreme exerciser like a marathoner or triathlete, you’ll want to keep your own tracking too, as the Up really only shows you more versus less active. Also note it’s not waterproof, so you’ll need to manually track any water activity. If you are an iPhone user, you’ll find the app does a fine job of tracking activity changes, like walking vs.
JAWBONE UP SIZER ANDROID
Jawbone claims to be working furiously on bringing the 24 to Android soon and we’re keeping fingers crossed.
JAWBONE UP SIZER BLUETOOTH
The Jawbone UP24 app, unfortunately is only available for iOS at this time Android users can still get use the previous Jawbone UP which doesn’t have the Bluetooth syncing but is otherwise pretty much the same.
And it now syncs wirelessly to your phone using Bluetooth which is a joy. Charging requires you to pop a piece off the bracelet (don’t lose it!) so you can plug it into your phone, but wow, it’s got an amazing battery life. The UP24 is actually a fairly stylish band with an easy-to-read interface that tracks your activity, calories, as well as your sleep–so long as you remember to pop it into sleep mode, which is very easy, thankfully. The third version of the Jawbone UP (now called Jawbone UP24) looks and feels like the previous two.
