Just bought the new health tracking bracelet, Up from Jawbone, today at the Apple store. Looking to try out some of the social aspects to the app. Anyone else here want to join a team?

If anyone else wants to, search my real name: John Foley

Thanks!
 
Nice, I didn't know it was available yet. I walked right past the Apple Store today. I will check it out tomorrow.

I really don't understand how it works. Would appreciate a review...

Same here, it looks pretty cool though.

If you want to join a team, message me and I'll send you my info.

It really is an amazing device. Had it since Friday and it works very well. The app has some "bugs", but I'm sure Jawbone will sort it out with the amount of money they are putting into this thing.

Convinced the wife to get one too. These things are gonna sell fast.
 
It's a damn shame that BodyBugg/BodyMedia make you pay $10 a month on top of their $150 - 200 price tag. That thing runs circles around the Jawbone Up when it comes to recording calories burned and sleep schedule...
 
I think I will be getting one of these. Mostly for the sleep thing. I do eat a lot of crap too, might be good to see that on a graph.

Might send my username when I get it going.
 
So this thing tells you how much sleep your getting and a pedometer?
And you can record food with it?
All for 100 bucks?

Sleep 8 hours and eat right and hit the gym a few times a week.
There... Saved you 100 bucks.

If you give me $100 I'll explain the differences between "your" and "you're" for you.

Thanks for that link...
Convinced me not to buy one...
As I cycle and do P90X for my exercise.
That's not "running"...
Lame.
 
Will be picking one of these up when they hit the UK, although im not a fan of the exchange rate $100 = (Currently Around) £60
Not the £79.99 price tag they have slapped on.

But I am really looking forward to the Jawbone UP, think it will really help me change me current lifestyle, although I don't get the right amount of sleep due to my varying work hours it should track how many I actually get.

A question to my US friends, can someone check if it still records data if the iPhone is on flight mode, due to working at 39'000ft my iPhone tends not to have a signal :)
