I do most of the previous speakers do not connect - I've not made any bad experience with the Jawbone. The tape keeps my friend for a year now, and that is so even though he takes a shower and swim!
Visually there is one difference between the old and the new version, namely the button, which is slightly grooved in the new version.
The tape in size M fits perfectly around my wrist, still has a little bit of air, but I did not even have to sit very closely. Visually, it is hardly noticeable, looks like a normal bracelet.
Synchronization (plugging into the headphone jack of the phone) with the app running smoothly. From time to time I have the tape inserting a second time, but I do not feel a nuisance. Whoever has difficulties: from experience it works immediately when the iPhone is muted via the switch on the side.
The calibration is going well; My tip: second app zuhilfe book (eg Runtastic) and use it to check the distance measurement.
Sleep recording is also very reliable.
The tape does not smell of rubber or plastic, not constricted off, does not chafe and after a few days you almost forget that you're wearing it. The cap for the plug closes perfectly.
To attract it does not have one it's great bend, simple as a strip bangles.
Charging of the belt passes over the supplied USB cable. Can be connected to PC / laptop or power adapter.
Through the band I'm motivated to move more. The feedback on the app, what percentage of my daily goal I have achieved my ambition increases. The evaluations, for example, how many steps / kilometers I run on Mondays on average, or how much I slept a week on average, I like that! Also I like the ability to scan the barcodes in the recording of meals.
Can only recommend the tape! Had informed me in advance via competitive products, but can not find the app on the most user-friendly, very well arranged and the handling of the bands easy. No Extra wristbands for sleep recording; no forgetting in his pocket; no advice to to purchase additional hardware ...
The Jawbone is for me the clear winner and I would highly recommend it!
