So, I finally feel like I can give you an accurate review of my UP24, the fitness tracker I have been using. I purchased one shortly after Christmas and after a couple weeks, it stopped working. I contacted the company and they sent me a replacement. That one worked great for a few weeks, and once again, it stopped working after a few days. I contacted the company once more and they sent me another replacement. I’ve had this 3rd band for about a month now with no problems. Yay! Apparently, I was just unlucky with the first two. I have several friends that also have this same band and haven’t had any problems.
What is the UP24? It’s a wristband that tracks your movement and sleep. The app displays your data, lets you add things like meals and mood, and delivers insights that keep you moving forward.
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 battery typically lasts about 7 days for me. It charges quickly, usually 20-30 minutes for me, through a USB port. I attach it to my laptop and I get a notification on my phone when it’s fully charged. There’s also an indicator light to let you know when the battery is completely charged.
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.

My favorite feature of the UP24 is the sleep tracker. You easy switch from activity-mode to sleep-mode with the press of a button. Prior to using it, I had no idea my sleep cycles were so sporadic. It’s really made me aware of my sleep and forced me to focus on getting more shut-eye.
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.
