The Up3 is the latest and greatest fitness tracker from accessory masters Jawbone. We first announced that we’d be carrying the Up3 late last year, but now we’re able to confirm one critical piece of information – the price!
We will be carrying the Jawbone Up3 in silver and black for the princely sum of £150. That’s a lot of money for a fitness tracker, but it makes sense when you see just how comprehensive a solution it is. Let’s take a closer look.
The Up3 impresses both through the breadth of its sensors and the advanced Smart Coach which pieces all the collected information together. The Up3 has new skin, ambient temperature and bioimpedance sensors (for measuring heart rate, respiration rate and skin conductance), which provide a better level of understanding of your overall health and activity. These are joined by more traditional sensors – like gyrometers and accelerometers – to track fitness activity and sleep.
Of course, having advanced sensors is meaningless if you can’t do something clever and useful with the data they generate. The Up3 uses a new software called Smart Coach to provide actual, personal advice based on the readings. The Smart Coach can do things like remind you to drink water after a workout because you tend to forget to rehydrate, or tell you to go to bed earlier because you ran this morning. The new Up3 app works on Android and iOS, too.
The Up3 also has a new form factor compared to its predecessors, with a slim band that’s dotted with internal sensors. The idea here is that you’ll wear the Up3 24/7, except for short breaks when you’re recharging. That means making the Up3 very comfortable was a top priority for Jawbone, and also influenced the band’s water-resistant design.
The Up3 looks like it’ll deliver on Jawbone’s promise of the most advanced fitness tracker ever, and we’re super excited to give it a proper go ourselves.
The Jawbone Up3 is scheduled to be released this winter, so we’re expecting the Up3 to arrive in our warehouse soon. To place your pre-order or sign up for stock notifications, please visit our product page:
