Jawbone Up24 review

Wireless Bluetooth connectivity and software upgrades keep Jawbone's UP24 fitness tracker fresh, but increased competition will likely leave many consumers wanting more out of their hardware.

Bluetooth connectivity certainly brings a big advance over the previous UP. It’s incredibly handy have that tracking information in real-time time. Even with this and the additional software enhancements, however, the UP24 doesn’t match up to the sort...

Jawbone Up24 review: wireless syncing makes this Jawbone's best fitness tracker yet

The Up24 is Jawbone's best wearable to date thanks to wireless syncing. It's definitely worth buying over the older, less expensive Up band.

Bluetooth syncing ; Simple design ; Integration with home automation apps ; App can now estimate how long you slept

Sleep tracking still hit or miss ; Battery life took a hit

After some quality time with the Up24, I can definitely say that this is Jawbone's best activity tracker yet. Sure, the software still needs some polish, and the sleep-tracking feature can still be imprecise, but we're excited about the possibility for...

Jawbone UP24

Comfortable, sleek, mid-priced, and with great sleep features, the Jawbone UP24 could be the activity tracker for you, as long as you don't mind mobile-only access to your data, and a few other downsides.

Thin, sleek, comfortable activity tracker. Measures deep sleep and light sleep. Connects with many other apps for sports, health, and calorie-counting. Beautiful app.

Requires a smartphone. Sleep mode not automatic. Very basic calorie-counting features. Ends of band don't sit flat. No display. No altimeter. A bit pricey.

The iOS or Android app is your one and only dashboard, because there's no desktop or Web app, which I lament. I spend a lot of time in front of a computer and appreciate the ability to hop online and tinker with my tracker's settings or check my...

Insightful, comfy health tracker gets better with Android support

So long as you don't need a display, the Jawbone Up24's Bluetooth syncing, Android and iOS support, and stylish look put it at the head of the health tracker pack.

The ; is an incredibly easy-to-use and enjoyable fitness tracker that counts steps, sleep, and calories. The Up24 is water-resistant, light, and comfortable to wear. The device syncs with iPhones and Android phones over Bluetooth.

The Jawbone Up24 lacks a screen to quickly check your progress.

If having a screen isn't a priority, the Jawbone Up24's superb app, clever advice, and comfy fit are hard to resist.

Stay fit: Jawbone Up24 and Nike+ FuelBand SE review

There was a time in my life when I recorded every piece of food I ate and every step I took. I kept a meal and exercise journal — an actual journal — before I had one on my computer. Once online...

Comfortable, minimalist design ; Clean, bold app UI ; Small cards that give you advice to be healthier

Slow Bluetooth connectivity at times ; No Android app yet ; List of workouts is limited

A little fitness tracker, trying to be more

Up All Day

There are a few key things a wearable has to get right. It has to be comfortable and good-looking so that you'll actually wear it. It has to have good software so that you'll be able to understand the feedback you're getting from it. And it needs to...

Finally, Bluetooth. New features that “nudge” you and offer encouragement are welcome additions. Connects with popular fitness apps, and even IFTTT. End cap is much harder to lose. Forgot to switch it into sleep mode? You can adjust your sleep times...

No on-device display means you’re going to have to phone it in to get your step count. Not waterproof. $150 is a bit steep — competing devices are $20 to $50 cheaper

Jawbone Up24 ( onyx, Large)

When we first reviewed the $150 Jawbone Up24 fitness tracker, we liked just about everything about it. It looked great, and it offered easy Bluetooth syncing with its companion app. The big drawback was that that app was iOS-only.

Jawbone UP24 and UP 3.0 Review

You can't accuse Jawbone of taking shortcuts with its fitness wearables. The company prematurely pulled the plug on the original 2011 UP and took it back to the lab to work on battery and stability for a year before the 2012 version was released , and...

There’s no shortage of fitness trackers out there. UP24 goes up against Fitbit’s new Force, Nike’s Fuelband SE, and numerous other models from lesser-known brands. It also faces a growing challenge from software: the iPhone 5s and Nexus 5 each promise...
