Jawbone UP3 Advanced Activity and Sleep Monitor Stopped

They went out of business and their servers are now defunct, leaving us with useless plastic. If anyone has an alternative app for this, that would be great. I spent money on nothing!..

Fit bit took our GREAT sleep record and gave us a DOWNGRADE that is useless, we can get the good one back if we pay $50.00 per. year, so are any other activity trackers doing this, I want to know who to avoid!

bought it 6 months ago, that’s how long it worked for me.. issues started when app showed I was sleping when I was actually active. Wrote to support. Never received reply for assistance. It is says connected but does not track any activity. It tries to synch and phone get expremely hot.. sad it didnt last even one year:( so dispointed…

After a week the product has stopped working, the Jawbone support site does not respond when that the Amazon reseller is not authorized personally by reading the numerous negative comments, I discourage the purchase.

I’ve been researching fitness activity bands and finally decided to go with the Jawbone UP3 for the following reasons:
1) my primary reason is one that many might find the #1 reason NOT to choose the Jawbone because it DOESN’T have all the bells and whistles on the band itself or the related app. I already wear a watch, so no display isn’t an issue. But, most importantly, I tend to get overly detailed with apps and tech stuff. Not only is it time consuming, but it can’t be maintained at the level I invest and then it causes me anxiety when I don’t fill everything in every day. And nobody should be subject to e-mails, texts, reminders and phone calls by something attached to your body. We can always mute our phone or leave our laptop off. If we’re lucky, the U.S. will take the lead of companies in other countries and prohibit work related e-mails, texts and phone calls on the weekend or during non-work hours. Until then, the UP3 is a great way to take control and lower your stress level!

2) my daughter has used one for months now and loves it. She also knows me, my tendencies and my limitations, so her recommendation means a lot

3) the UP3 seems to be a front-runner in the feature that is most important for my needs advanced sleep tracking. Other bands offer sleep tracking but most can only track basic data at the most, awake, asleep and restless. The UP3 offers these as well as different levels/sleep phases. I suffer from several sleep disorders, so this advanced capability is a must have that not only provides information for my own personal analysis and identifies changes in my sleep patterns, but allows me to send the data to my doctor or specialists in between formal sleep studies.

4) It’s compatible with one of the best fitness apps (no device required) out there: My Fitness Pal. This makes it possible to connect with, track and support friends who use other fitness bands that can also text data to My Fitness Pal (and other compatible systems)

5) both the UP app and the My Fitness Pal app have versions for all three major platforms: iOS, Android and Windows (though the Windows app is not nearly as detailed as the version for Android. I simply use my old Android phone or view all the detailed data and charts on my laptop.)

6) It looks more like jewelry, very elegant yet subtle, and therefore doesn’t distract from the watches or jewelry.

hope you do a comparison video between the jawbone up3 and fitbit charge hr. can’t decide between them

Forget the Jawbone if you are sight impaired because of the way you have to charge it.

Hi, thanks for the review! One question, can you see a graph of your skin temperature and galvanic skin response?

This video was 2 years ago, where do we stand today?, is it still good?, ive heard jawbone is bleeding money and not doing good, and the UP3 is too cheap, is it worth it or not?, HELP

Hi. When it comes to sleep staging.. the app has a mistake. REM and deep sleep mean the same. How is it different from each other according to the app.

Great review as usual, just bought the UP4 myself, never really track my heart rate as soon as I woke up, only a training, was a bit of a shock to find out it was 44 bpm LOL on a regular basis, lol just going to cryogenic sleep Parrant Lee every night

This might be a really obvious question but better safe than sorry, right?
So, my question is: “Does the Up3 need to be connected to my phone all the time or do I sync it by switching bluetooth one like once a day and everything happens automatically?”

btw, love your channel, great quality and very consumer oriantated!

I am getting ready to return my last jawbone product. Their hardware and software is great, but the average life expectancy of their products is three months! Of course, this never comes up in web reviews!

Jawbone is capitalizing on the fact that reviews like these only test the product for a few days, weeks tops. They know professional reviewers need to review other products, and they can’t afford to post their reviews months after a product is release.

After three months of wearing the band everywhere, but taking it off in the shower (because I’ve had jawbones before and know their splash-proof promise is BS), the band stopped charging. The seam between the front and back is starting to open, and when I tried to press it back in place, it actually opened wider on the opposite end, revealing a lid that is held on only by a thin layer of glue. No screws, no snaps, just glue that’s wearing off.

See what I mean? They know reviewers will never use it to the point where the glue wears off. They probably know of the wear and tear that comes from wearing something for three months straight! But they don’t care.

Right now I’m considering a Fitbit Charge HR or a Withings Activité Pop.

Mine came with a little plastic piece that holds the clasp in place when you close it so it doesn’t come loose. Just al small thing that makes it more wearable.

Hello sir Jim, how is it when you are a Night owl, i work at night, could it possibly have a problem tracking things out? Thank you

@jimsreviewroom do you need your phone with you all the time for it to work?
