@travisbogard When is the release?
Travis Bogard
@nikitakorotaev This year (2014).

Curious to hear people's thoughts on use of a bracelet activity tracker vs phone-based tracking. What do you get from the bracelet?
Travis Bogard
@tymrtn Phone misses about 20% of steps because it isn't always on the body. And of course sleep tracking is one of the most interesting things that being on the body makes easy.

@tymrtn Most phone trackers require that you walk for 30 secs+ before they pick up your steps, so even if you do put your phone in your pocket all the time, you'll miss a lot of your steps around the house because you don't move for long enough periods. Having said that, Jawbone overestimates my steps way more than Fitbit or the Misfit Shine, so I can easily get 2,500-3,000 steps in a day with my UP24 without leaving my house at all (and it's a tiny bedsit).

@tymrtn While I do love my iPhone 6 Plus, I can't see myself carrying that everywhere I go like a newborn. It's just too much.

Am I the only one who’d like to have 24/7 GPS tracking included?
Wei Yang
@michael_xander It's nice... but not completely necessary. Most of my winter workout is on a stationary cross trainer, or other machine; so I'm not going anywhere cool anyway.
Travis Bogard
@michael_xander There is a big challenge with that. The act of putting in 24/7 GPS tracking means it's something you won't wear 24/7 because it grows a lot. The reality is you can get this by using your phone for the GPS tracking since that is on you for all the major movements. The movements within places where phone may be on charger or off body, is less likely to have much delta from a GPS perspective. See link right above for URL to more context.

Is it just me or is it not possible to view this outside the USA? Only shows the Jawbone and the 24 edition. Currently browsing from Amsterdam.

@basprass I can see it just fine. Browsing from Eindhoven on Safari. (the browser, not an expedition to observe animals in their natural habitat).
Bas Prass
@marckohlbrugge Safari works indeed, Chrome (or my cache) is the problem.

I really wish there was a pre-order option. I will likely forget or be distracted once this comes out. This is the first wearable that really excites me - the simplistic design along with all the 'juice' inside really have me ready to give wearables a chance.
Joe Barber
Kinda bummed there's only two styles.
Travis Bogard
@cyborgnation There will be many many more. It is created as a design platform.
Andy Fortson
I'm excited this is finally a closed clasp. My UP gets caught on everything all the time.

My jawbone kept breaking every month or so. I always got a replacement, but was left without the product during that time. I hope this one is a bit more resilient. Looks good!
Kevin Chau
I'd be willing to give this a try - but it's pricey! compared to only $200 for the Microsoft Band.
Travis Bogard
@kchau Very different use cases between the products. Size matters a lot if you want a 24/7 device. If you want smart watch, bigger is likely ok trade-off for size, but means it will come off frequently. More context: https://jawbone.com/blog/jawbone...

Let's hope this one is a little more resistant to human wear and tear: I'm on my third Up24 in 9 months :(
