#Jawbone up24 sizer update
Update (April 2015): After a number of delays caused by trying to perfect the waterproof aspect of the UP3, Jawbone has dropped this feature.
Because there’s no removable cap, they were able to seal this thing for water resistance up to 10 meters. By combining the aforementioned bio/accelerometer sensors, the UP3 can now graph how much of your night was spent not just in “deep sleep” (which basically means you’re not moving much), but in full-blown REM. The UP bands have long tracked sleep - particularly, how much of your sleep was “light sleep” vs “deep sleep”. A new tri-axis accelerometer lets the device intelligently guess and graph when you’re doing things like running, playing tennis, or hiking. In time, that’ll expand to include things like hydration levels, heart rate throughout the day, and more. At launch, that means it’ll be able to tell you your heart rate when you wake up. Bioimpedance sensors… which, in normal people speak, means the UP3 can use a veeeeery slight electrical current to gleen all sorts of data about what’s going on in your body. No more measuring your wrist to figure out if you’re a small, medium, or large - since it’s an adjustable watch style clasp now, it’s one size fits all.īeyond the design tweaks, however, the UP3 brings some new tech into the mix: Most importantly, gone is the need to pick a “size” for your UP band. Gone is the annoying little plastic cap that covers the charging plug, so many of which have been left behind in hotel rooms - instead, you charge the device by matching a set of contact pins up against a bespoke USB cable (in other words, it’s still not microUSB or any other standard cable you have a million of.) Gone is the signature, mostly-rigid design of all UP bands prior - instead, the UP3 is more like a watch without a watch face. Almost exactly one year after launching the UP24 fitness tracking band, Jawbone is back with the successor: the UP3. The Yves Béhar-designed Jawbone UP24 was one of our favourite looking activity bands, with its huge range of vibrant colours and slim design.
