Alas! I hesitated to buy this product by reading the scathing criticism of American users on the dedicated product forum. I also crossed no more enthusiastic reviews on French sites, but I thought the manufacturer had corrected this after having had to face so many unhappy ... At present, batteries are used for everything, and frankly I had never had a shadow of concern in life of a battery-operated device. But that was before, as would say the pub ... After four months my band broke UP carafe. Overnight, like that. Even though I took great care. I took off for the shower and the dishes, I was protecting him if it was raining, brief. I could exchange it via the website that sold me. Yippee. Except ... three months later, was no different. And this time, to try to slow the wear of the battery, I had resolved not to use the alarm function, yet I enjoyed immensely ...
So my opinion is fact, UP is a product that could be great, if only it was QUALITY! His little brother, the UP 24, could have tried if I had not read exactly the same criticisms level battery life ... At the price of gadget, I will pass. The Whitings Pulse was certainly inconvenient as easily forgotten in a pocket, but at least it worked! I think to test another brand on the occasion, the Garmin Vivofit maybe ... but I definitely forget the Jawbone, too disappointing!
