Jawbone has given its life-tracking Up bracelet a second chance. The original was promising, but had a sky-high failure rate. The new band, Jawbone hopes, will fix the massive problems of the original, and deliver on its equally massive potential.
The new Up bracelet, like its predecessor, keeps tabs on how much you’re moving around (much like the Fitbit or Nike Fuelband). It also tracks your sleep—using a motion sensor—to tell you how well and how long you’re resting. And it syncs up with an iOS app (and only iOS for now, no web client to be had here) to keep tabs on your meals, mood, and other activity. It can also wake you up with a smart alarm that optimizes itself with your sleep cycle. It tracks your lifestyle more than just pure fitness.
