It is absolutely necessary to try to stay honest with. The captured foods should be really entered or scanned without exception in the app. The user can see how many calories he still must take to be (among other things dependent on investments held by the motion and entered desired weight) and how healthy the food consumed - on a scale from 1 to 10 am -. The learning effect is not to be underestimated. So surprise, for example, the following values:. Wellness drink cherry-Ginseng: 2.6 points (in addition to water is the main ingredient of sugar). Lentil soup with lean meat from the tin: 9.5 points (nutritious, filling, rich in plant substances, no sugar). Canned fish in tomato sauce achieved similarly high levels. The "Smart-bed" are everyday useful and adapted to the current situation tips and tricks for healthy living. Gradually, you will be trained on the subject of fitness very good.
But now to the actual product:
1. The JAWBONE Up24 worn really permanent: at work, while driving, at household chores, sleeping etc. Unlike many other reviewers, I find, therefore, the decision to dispense with a display, absolutely correct. The slim, lightweight and stylish design make for a very comfortable fit and chic look. Hard to believe that the processor, memory, battery, tri-axis accelerometer, vibration motor and Bluetooth wireless unit can be accommodated.
2. A permanent pulse measurement would be nice, but should m. E. are evaluated by specialists. The constant monitoring of the heart rate quickly leading to medical laymen to misinterpretation and in particular to control forced - and personalize it also does a display.
3. A certain error tolerance in the step counting is naturally present - on the other hand, the count of the wrong measured and unmeasured steps balances. One thing is clear: Anyone who moves a lot, will achieve correspondingly high step numbers. Those who do not, do not! Incidentally, the step count and the resulting distance determination is pretty much both compared to the competition as well as compared to reality. Workouts that are not based on steps (eg. As swimming or gymnastics) can be entered manually into the app. The calorie consumption is of course always against expected and the user can be seen how many calories, fats, carbohydrates etc. He may even eat.
4. The device detects properly if there is a lack of exercise. The wild typing on a computer keyboard, gesturing with his arms, driving in the car - these are all activities in which the bracelet even though neatly set in motion, but correctly not step counts! Topp! Only when stirring with a whisk me diligently steps were counted. As a right-handed I wear the bracelet since left.
5. The sleep logging provides for me another highlight. The Up24 recognizes the difference of my light and deep sleep phases and shows me the following morning, how long I slept, how long it took to fall asleep, how much deep sleep I had, etc.
6. The silent alert can be used sensibly and versatile. Of particular note are the inactivity alarm, which is reminiscent of more exercise for a defined period of time of not moving by vibration, as well as the intelligent alarm, which gently brings the user during a light sleep phase of sleep - at least of course to enter alarm time - instead it may directly from the deep sleep to tear. The latter option works surprisingly well and is highly appreciated by me. The bracelet learns after about 2 weeks to know the sleeping habits of the wearer. I slide for example, ten minutes before the alarm clock like again into deep sleep. The Up24 now recognizes these "sleeping Macke" and wakes me up before. Another advantage is that the partner is awakened thanks to the silent vibration NOT.
7. The free downloadable app only works in conjunction with a bracelet, is superbly designed and runs absolutely flawlessly. The connection via Bluetooth is done with me quickly and perfectly. Have this regard but even negative read. FYI: I am using a Sony Xperia Style (T5). Based on the data transferred individual notes and challenges are generated. In addition, various advanced options via the app can be activated.
With regard to the durability of the bracelet frequently was unfortunately reported on defective units, which were always replaced on the warranty. However, I fear that many users circumvent quite safely with the bracelet. If I take a shower, must grab by hand, reach into a Wühlkiste or brutzele me something in the pan, so the Up24 is stored or at least covered with a long sweater. When storing and also when you create should be really good sure the flexible ends to bend as much as possible - even if the bracelet a little gruff treatment loose forgive. Furthermore, I have read occasionally that the mode button on the wristband was broken after some time. Preventive therefore I change my app between modes (esp. When switching between day and sleep mode). In this way, the button must be pressed practically nonexistent. The processing is generally applied very robust and longevity. So some negative review I therefore do not evaluate properly.
The data collected in the app are automatically uploaded to a cloud. This has the advantage that the data exchange with the smartphone or the wearables are still available, me individual coaching is offered, and the manufacturer can create meaningful statistics.
My conclusion is absolutely positive. I am fascinated by how relatively few resources (the measurements are carried out only on a motion sensor) can be collected as much reliable information and further processed useful. Condition for such a working system is a flawless and well-balanced technology / electronics. Jawbone Up24 will these demands, which is why I also the official price of 129, - EUR perceive as necessary. Who has similar aims as I and the material is not strained to the limit, which was warmly recommended this bracelet. Five Stars!
Update:
Now, after 10 weeks of use, I have lost 4 kg weight, me move twice as much as before, have begun maßvollem Jogging and already manage 3.5 kilometers at a stretch, I fit right after getting up, have noticeably better mood and only little appetite for unhealthy food. For me as a hypertensive almost more importantly, my blood pressure is even without taking my medication is almost always in the standard, so that the dose needs to be adjusted soon. The band, however, works fine and looks like new, even though I wear it really day and night. The recommendations of the smart bed are now tuned very precisely to my person, but the tips are repeated sporadically. Am very satisfied overall with the bracelet!
