I've had one for a little over the week and like it so far. My wife likes it even more now that she isn't woken up by my alarm clock every morning.

I did a power nap and it felt great even if I only got 14 minutes of sleep.

Side note as a sort of out there question. Did those saying accuracy is off calibrate it in the settings? I did mine last night and the activity I did was .2 miles for the calibration but the band said .3. So I calibrated it and adjusted it and then tried .407 and it read as .4. So was better.

Exactly! I want to exercise, but it isn't enjoyable in itself for me. If I can bring 'toys' along to make it more interesting, then I will exercise more and it is money well spent.

I have a weird feeling the guy just doesnt know and they are in the back, based off of the people who have already purchased them

Yeah, they JUST got them and none of the employees are familiar with them yet. But remember, this is just one out of hundreds of products Apple sells. At the store I went to, it wasn't even at eye level (was hanging about 7 feet up, above the fuel and fitbit), so it will take time for the blue shirts to discover them. Just ask them to check the inventory and be patient. They all have iPods with inventory checkers so it isn't that big a deal.

I still find the Jawbone UP more compelling than FitBit or Nike+ Fuelband. I hope Jawbone UP 3.0 has wireless syncing.

Where did you get yours? Are you in the US?

I guess I don't fully understand the question.

Other note: I have been using the smart alarm for a week now and I can say it works very well. Have woke up and not felt tired shortly after. I have not used my normal alarm since. I am always up before it even goes off and feel wide awake.

The app makes you sign up within the app. The data is stored online some I believe because my info shows up on my "team" that I have with my wife so we can see each other's info/stats. I have not turned off connectivity to see if you can still just use in app storage.

I got the new UP 2.0, it's amazing and all of the issues are fixed.

tl01 · Dec 30, 2012, 10:36 PM

I got my Up for Christmas and love it so far! The only thing I don't like is how it snags on things but I hardly notice it is on my wrist anymore. Also, I am not at all bothered by having to connect it to my phone to sync. It's nice that it stores the info and inputs it when I connect. I don't need the info at every moment of the day and if I want to see my activity it takes 10 seconds to connect.

I love the sleep monitoring and the smart alarm. Those are what sold on it!

wharzhee · Dec 30, 2012, 11:29 PM

I'd love to grab this. but I don't know why I would want one.

mlblacy · Jan 9, 2013, 07:42 PM

I have had one for a little over a month now. I hesitated because of the disastrous first gen release. Out of all the devices the Up is the only one I would not be embarrassed to wear. It is a lot less clunky looking and "almost" looks like an odd piece of jewelry, but slim enough to shove under your shirt cuff. Syncing manually is a non-issue, and no painless (takes seconds). I usually sync 1-3 times a day. Battery life is about 10 days fully charged. I wanted something to force me to move more and be more active, and it is working. I love the sleep tracking, even if the numbers are occasionally depressing. The smart alarm is one of my favorite features, and the power nap one is great as well. I haven't bothered to delve into the food tracking yet, as that was not was I was looking for.

I am not upset by the lack of wireless syncing. Bluetooth is buggy, and a battery eater. Zero issues with the cap, it fits snugly. I do not shower with it, other than that I am wearing it. I always have my phone with me, so it is no big deal to sync on the fly if I want a status update. No regrets, it was a great buy for me.

TWO2SEVEN · Jan 23, 2013, 01:25 PM

Thinking about picking one of these up with some Best Buy store credit. Anyone else have some experience with the 2.0?

Thanks!

I used a FitBit for a while; the only thing I didn't really like about it was that if I was rushing and changed clothes quickly and ran out the door to the gym (as I'm often running late for) I would forget it in my pants pocket.
