I debated buying the UP24 or the Fitbit and I decided to go for the UP24. I like the look of it better than the Fitbit. It’s much more sleek and fashionable than the other fitness bands out there. I don’t have to worry about it falling off because it wraps around my wrist and doesn’t attach with fasteners or pegs. I’ve heard some stories of that being a problem with the Fitbit. It’s easy to slip on and off and has a textured, rigid surface that protects it from moisture, making it water-resistant. I haven’t tried showering with it on, but I do leave it on when I wash my hands or dishes. I have found myself pressing the two ends (which are worn on the bottom of your wrist) down trying to get them to lay completely flat. Other times, I flip the band over so the two ends are on the top of my wrist because I find it a little cumbersome to type with them down. Other than that I find it completely comfortable.
The app is great. I love that I can connect to my accountability partner and we can comment on each other's progress. You can log your workouts and your food. You can also connect to My Fitness Pal and other popular fitness apps within the Up app.
Overall, I love it...once I got one that works, lol. I will say the customer service was great. It has made me more active as I hit goals and more aware of my overall fitness. I plan to keep wearing it for a long time to come. Want to find out more??? You can check it out here.
