“UP
was designed to fit seamlessly in people's lives. Real life. It's a thoughtful
combination of engineering and design, custom-made for how we live.”
“UP
is both flexible and strong. Sometimes UP needs to slide smoothly under sleeves
or bend to accommodate an active lifestyle. Other times it has to be strong
enough to stand up to a snowball fight without a problem (or more likely, a few
thousand showers). Day and night, UP is right there with you.”
“UP™
is a system that takes a holistic approach to a healthy lifestyle. The
wristband tracks your movement and sleep in the background. The app displays
your data, lets you add things like meals and mood, and delivers insights that
keeps you moving forward.”
I chose one of Apples product; it is called the UP Wrist
Band by Jawbone. Jawbone and Apple came together to create a really cool
product called UP, and no it’s not the movie, it’s a lifestyle. UP is an
innovative wristband that tracks your sleep cycle, caloric intake, how many
steps you’ve taken, how many miles you’ve walked in a day, and many more. The
only thing with the band is that you can’t see how much many steps you’re
walking, or how much calories your burning. The only competitor to really do
this technique would be the Nike fuel band. The Nike fuel band is completely
different in the fact that it will show how many calories you’ve burned. The
downside to the Nike Fuel Band is that it will only count calories if your arms
move. Whereas is you get the Up band,
the counting is more accurate, and it actually tells you your idle time on your
idle time and how long you’ve been sitting. Eventually it will tell you to get
on your butt and tell you, you need to start walking. Another really cool thing
about the UP band is it tells you how much you’re still burning even if you’re
sitting, or standing. To my knowledge the UP band only works for Apple
products, mostly the iPhone. It says you can connect it to your iPad, MacBook
pro, and etc. Another cool thing about the app is if you take a picture of
certain foods you and it will log it for you, you can also scan a barcode and
it will easily log your meals for you as well. Overall I think that the UP
wristband is a really good investment if you really want to be or go into a
healthy lifestyle, that way you can track what you eat, when your suppose to
eat, how you sleep, or how many calories you burn. There are many possibilities
you can do with UP, you can also activate it with an alarm which is another
cool feature of the gadget. One more thing before I leave, it is one of the
best lifestyle products I have ever bought and I don’t regret it because it is
a good fashion statement and great lifestyle choice.
