Drawbacks for Jawbone UP<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe drawbacks are that you don\u2019t get a ton of information. For me, this is actually a positive because I was getting a little obsessive with the info, charts, and graphs galore my BodyBugg would provide. I have better things to do with my life than worry about every minute detail of my day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other drawback is that the UP really only counts steps. It does synch with My Fitness Pal and some other apps so you can connect and import workouts from other devices, but I was doing a pretty strenuous Pilates workout and my band buzzed at me that I was being sedentary (hmmph). It\u2019s also buzzed at me on the subway when I was standing and it thought I was sitting on my butt (humph again).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally the UP is an Apple device mainly with only a few Android devices able to use it. So if you\u2019re not an Apple person you might be out of luck entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I like the Jawbone and will continue to use it. The UP gives me a gentle nudge to keep moving throughout the day without being obvious to the world that I\u2019m wearing a tracking device. Thanks again to Verizon Wireless for providing me with a sample to road test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you have an UP? Feel free to send me a team member request. Also let me know what you think the pros and cons are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cheers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I type this my slim black band is sitting on my wrist. It\u2019s pretty much been here for three weeks now. In the shower. As I walk around Boston. While I sleep. I haven\u2019t given it a nickname yet, but maybe I should. Oh wait \u2026 it just buzzed to remind me I\u2019ve been …<\/p>\n
