UP24: Fitness band wristband tracks activity and sleep with vibrating alarm and Idle Alert. Syncs via Bluetooth with compatible Android and iOS devices.The reality of Jawbone’s decline began to appear in 2016, as the company stopped making and then selling their fitness trackers before eventually selling.
The Jawbone UP2, first released in 2015, is a wrist-worn fitness tracker. It connects to iOS and Android phones through Bluetooth, and uploads its data to a companion app, also branded UP.The updated Jawbone UP app for activity trackers simplifies the user interface further by consolidating everything under a single “+” sign. Tap on it and the user can access any of the 5 domains of functions; be it to track activity, mood, food, weight or sleep.
Jawbone officially ended service for Jawbone UP in late May of 2018. The following is the statement on their Facebook page: If Jawbone brings their services back online, we will re-evaluate bringing back the integration. Contact Jawbone. If your having trouble with your Jawbone device, you can try to contact them with the following link.
The company raised $165 million in funding this past January, and CEO Hosain Rahman told Tech Insider earlier this year that Jawbone had ambitions to develop a “clinical-grade” fitness tracker.How the Jawbone UP Activity Monitors Worked (Discontinued) | Jawbone up, Up3, Jaw bone.

Thank you for this information. I too Loved the UP app for my UP24 band but I mainly used it to monitor my sleep. I have a very bad, non responsive to medications, sleep disorder and the Jawbone app really had a great sleep monitoring feature.
If you have found one that will work with the 24’s, please let me know.By James T. Cains. The latest wave of fitness activity trackers can do more than just count your steps and calories. Many trackers also record your sleep habits, monitor your heart rate, and sync to your smartphone or the Internet. Jawbone’s UP trackers do all of these things, plus they have what Jawbone calls a Smart Coach, which is part of the UP mobile app and can analyze all your data.

LETSCOM Fitness Tracker HR.So even though you can find each generation of Jawbone’s UP fitness tracker for as low as $49, that appealing price simply isn’t worth it since there won’t be any company left to provide.
The UP App for Windows currently doesn’t support UP fitness trackers, but will support compatible devices and UP bands in the future. It is recommended to use a Windows device with Sensor Core or Motion Data features to take advantage of the step tracking capabilities in UP.

I was wondering if you know how to reboot it? I can’t get it to sync up to my new phone and I can’t get info anywhere. Thank you.
So glad I found this video. It was much more helpful than anything else I looked at online.
Considering the shut down of the company, should I still consider getting one of these?
how do you take the up move out of the clip? is there a trick for it?
We have the same birthday. highlight of the video for me! thanks for the info
If I buy this and it dies, is the software STILL usable? Can I access the software and manually enter info to it from my PC without this device? I ask due to all the negative Amazon reviews. I do own a GPS so would find the software the most useful part! Only cell phone we have is the cheap Moto G second generation Android. Maybe a better question is, if I use the software without this device at all, is there ANY way to “correct” the data, the distance walked? I ask since my honest GPS is more accurate than my phone and no data charges:-)
so I have to buy the apps so I can use my new small onyx and don’t have iPhone only Apple computer and iPad mini
took the 24 medium back to big
today now I am wondering on keeping this one
I currently have an iPhone 5 which this does not sync to, will it work with the new iPhone SE, if you know?
I. Don t have an i phone any application for Android???????
thank you for the video… but unfortunately UP3 by Jawbone is not a durable wearable and cannot last more than 6 months… here is why… and what happens… I am doing this cause I was a real fan of UP3 and Jawbone App but they left me down… thanks for understanding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJbjh3I_tbw
So is there any real difference in the 3 and 4 other than Amex –
i wanted to download ur video for my presentation..could u please help me how to do it…thnk u in advance..:)
Not working at all I just bought up3 and cannot synchronise it with my phone their up is not working. Why they still sell this products if they cannot support with an app. Isn’t this illegal?
Mine refuses to sync after you calibrate it, unless you re-sync, which then forgets the calibration! Also has to be re-connected if ever you restart the phone (which my phone manufacturer recommends I do regularly),. Very annoying. Probably going back for a refund:-(
Help I just purchased the Jawbone 3 ( 2016) i can not find the heart rate on the app. I have searched every where looked at your video and your came up perfect. Did I buy ( or did they give me) the wrong Jawbone? My receipt says Jawbone 3
Do you have to stay every in the near of your smartphone or can you sync. it when you want???
I just got my Jawbone24. For one thing. It does not seem to be charging. The red light will dim out then come back on and it keeps doing that? Also I cannot get it to stay in my apple 5s phone it does not fit in the ear jack? Thanks for any help
a very good and nice video. thank you, now I know how to use it
I just realised I have to purchase the UP app before I can use
Thanks for the great review! I’ve never purchased a fitness tracker before, so I’m kind of ignorant about how they work. This is probably a stupid question, but: do I need to have my iPhone on me at all times in order for this to work properly? I was originally under the impression that I could exercise (run/walk, mostly) away from my phone and sync the tracker to my phone later. Is this true? As a rule, I don’t exercise with my phone and, if this product will allow me to sync the information from the tracker AFTER exercise, I think I’ll buy it.
Dont waste your money on this shit $ 130 keeps unsyncing what a load of crap
this video is great if you have an iPhone to go with your bracelet, but doesn’t help me
seems everything is all computer programs
is the bracelet mainly a pedometer
I set up an account using up2. Do I need a new account for up3
This product is pure shit, I was given yesterday, it only shows the running man while charging and if I take it off the charger its dead, the app is a psycho maker I’m connected to internet my bracelet is fully charged but that bitch still asks for internet connection.
Thank you, thank you thank you…I am old school 61! I wouldn’t been able to get going without your you tube help!
Impossible to connect good thing I was given this LOL buy a reputable product from Fitbit, Garmin etc.
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!..
The Jawbone UP3 isn’t water proof its only splash proof so how do we put it on and forget it till we need to charge it? Think you should be careful what you say as some people might not know this info already! Just saying!
Hi, I can’t seem to get myfitnesspal information on my app interface. How did make the green bar come up?
D this have automatic sleep detection like the misfit flash? Also, does this have to be paired to a phone 24/7? I only want to sync one time a day and I don’t know if it would hold my whole days worth of steps.
Do some color correction on your videos so that they don’t turn out so yellow looking. Great review
Hi why would I have pairing rejected by up24 come up on my phone?
I can not get it to show any lights unless charging & it wont pair with my phone
I just got mine…it just vibrated and lit up a HEART like 3 times. I don’t know anything about a heart?? What was it trying to tell me?
Very helpful video. Thanks. I find that I have to charge my UP3 more frequently than every seven days. It’s more like twice a week. And it does seem difficut to get the USB cable connected to the UP3 so that it will charge. That and the difficult clasp are the weakest things about the UP3.
Hello can the “L” work for a small wrist?cause theere is a sale and found a cheap one but it´s size L,….an it workthank you
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…
i can’t get to the company i wrote to them on their website never calls back charging is a pain in the backside i do not want to hold the thing for a hr if i even get the blue light to bling very annoying don’t buy it bring back
if you only take it off every 6 days to charge it, does that mean you wear it in the shower?
I been trying to decide with the fitbit force and the up24! The jawbone’s app seems SO SO SO much better then fitbit, the screen on the froce seems nice but with a shitty app who cares? Now that this is wireless I can just look at my phone! I think it all comes down to the app or the screen which tells you the time? Id rather go for quality over style!
You have a lot of good info. Thanks I just got mine n I’m so clueless
So glad I found this video. It is so much more helpful than anything else I looked at. Thanks
Is it waterproof? Is it the pest i need something to track my sleep and health and heart will be good and good looking please advice,
Thanks.
I bought one of the products of this shitty company and of course by my comment you can guess how it turned out. It was a complete fucking diaster. The product never synced with my phone after I took it off the charger and it was the worst experience trying to get this stupid thing on. Do your soul a favor and stay away from any company that starts or ends with “jaw” or “bone”.
I might go with this device after having an experience with the Fitbit Force much like what’s in this article:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/13/fitbit-force-rashes_n_4590859.html
I can’t seem to set my sleep…it says your sleep can’t end in the future? any ideas x
So apart from the possibility to pay with the Up4 there are no mayor changes when you compare it with the Up3?
i was unable to update the firmware it would just spin for over 2 hours so i gave up and now it wont even charge
Hey,
I can not see Luxemburgish as language:D but i will get on with french, english or german:D
Is it any better at not getting zapped by static-electric charges? My wife’s went belly up from static shocks on things like removing her sweater or the ever popular Walmart freezer case door. We live in Arizona where the humidity is very low and static is an issue. Now our Garmin Vivofit2 doesn’t have this issue with static. Just curious…
So glad I found this video. It is so much more helpful than anything else I looked at. Thanks
Im having issues with my Up2, it has full charge, the red runner light is on when it’s on the charging stick, but when you take it off it goes off! no sync, no nothing and when I am going to create an alarm in my app it say “your device is not connected” and The TAP thing doesn’t work at all, I have tried several times, Read the ONLINE manual too, nothing seems to be working.
Any solution??
Thanks,
do i have to close with my phone to use the application for tracking my activity?
thank you for the set up video. Can you let me know how I access the food ligs? you didn’t go to that one in your video and I can’t find it: (
I cannot get mine to pair I feel cursed by this company. I bought one of Jawbone’s items previous and had a horrible time with it. Now I have tried again and got the UP3 and it just will not pair. Can you help?
The fact that it can stay synced and still retain the great battery life is fantastic. I was so close to picking up a Fitbit Force, and I’m glad I didn’t.
i have the UP2,and having a problem with it pairing, what am i doing wrong, i even tried to hold and press the band, but still not going through
Please help! I can’t get past the create profile page. A Did you know tab comes out and covers the ‘next’ box. I’ve tapped everyone and no results. Any suggestions to fix this is much appreciated. Thank you!!
ALL MINE DOES IS FLASH THE HIKER AND THE MOON. NOTHING ELSE.
Helpful video. Thanks for your sharing.
Btw you really really remember your password?
In the app it shows a screen for your heart rate. Does Jawbone UP move track that; how?
I like the price, connection to myfitnnesspal and the nifty battery compartment opener.
Q: Do you have to enter the type of activity you are doing on the app before doing it? Do you have to change it’s mode when doing exercise (planned exercise, not walking to the coffee machine type of exercise)?
Thanks for the review:)
Unable to setup app as the server has been down since May 2018
If I buy this and it dies, is the software STILL usable? Can I access the software and manually enter info to it from my PC without this device/hardware? I ask due to all the negative Amazon reviews about it failing. I do own a GPS so would find the software the most useful part! I figured if this is inaccurate compared to my actual GPS I could just toss this and still wear my cumbersome hiking GPS then manually enter my data by hand using the PC when I get home. IF it will allow me too when this Jawbone is not around? I just do very slow waling in physical therapy attempting to relearn to walk after several MAJOR surgeries that left me mostly paralyzed…And I have to use Trekking Poles to hang onto or a walker too so this may not work for me where the clunky GPS does but I want the software for motivation:-)
I just charged my UP24 and it is now flashing the sun and moon at the same time for 7 flashes. What does that mean??
fucking piece of shit don’t work I am going to smash it with a hammer now…
It’s not an inductive charger. The magnet just aligns the metal contact points, like on a Macbook Pro. The Apple Watch and the BB-8 Sphero uses inductive charging. There are no metal leads.
I would tell everyone to avoid a Jawbone fitness tracker. They have an average life of 90 days and the company will replace one for you, but the second time around they will do their best to avoid making you whole, citing their ridiculous policy. Best to simply avoid the trouble and look elsewhere with so many companies producing these gadgets these days.
