This design is much more comfortable than other styles. It is also more fashionable and can be worn with any dress style.

I love this fitness tracker because it is small and unassuming, and it is quite accurate. I wear it on the waist band of my pants every day and on the collar of my shirt every night. I paid $19.99 on Best Buy on-line during a sale, and it is by far the best deal if you are looking to keep track of steps taken, mileage walked, and to keep a log of your sleeping patterns. I had a Fitbit wrist tracker in the past, but it was poor quality, and the charger stopped working after only a month. I returned it and waited about a year before I decided to try the Jawbone UpMove, on the recommendation of a coworker. It keeps track of how many minutes it takes me to fall asleep, how many hours and minutes I slept, and how much of that time was restful vs. light sleep. It also tracks my steps and miles walked and run, but I did notice that when I run, the mileage is a little low compared to what I actually ran. You can also track your eating/diet with this product, but I have yet to utilize that function. I am very happy with this product so far, and for $20, you can't go wrong. I prefer this type of wearable technology to the wrist band I used to have, as it was somewhat bulky and annoying when I slept. I forget the UpMove is even there; I just have to be vigilant that I don't put it in the wash!

Good entry-level activity tracker

This is an entry-level activity tracker, but what's great about it is that it allows you to use the same Jawbone app that other higher-end Jawbone devices use. You do give up a few features, but the basic things (steps, sleep, exercise time, calories) are all here, and for most people, that's enough.
It is a lot better than a basic pedometer. It counts steps obviously, but on your phone, it also graphs it for you so you can see throughout the day when you are most active, and that might motivate you to do more.
One advantage that it offers is that it doesn't need to be attached to your wrist, so for cycling exercise (indoors or outdoors), you can keep it in your pocket and it will track the spins for you. With a wrist band, you cannot know how many spins you've made because usually the wrist is stationary.
The battery lasts a long time (it says 6 months). I've had it for about 2 months, and it is still going strong.
So unless you want more advanced things like heart rate, GPS and message notifications, this is a very good and low-cost way to start tracking your activities.

I had burned through 4 Fitbit Flex before I gave up on them. Then I saw this tracker on sale and it was worth the $20 opportunity cost. It runs off a replaceable Lithium battery which means the charge is good for 4-6 months then a quick batter swap gets it back up and running. The hardware interface is quite easy to use, a quick press shows the current tracked state (activity or sleep), a double press shows the current time and a long press toggles between sleep and activity. There are different colored and shaped lights which indicate which mode it is currently operating in which makes for convenient identification. My biggest complain is that I have lost the unit 3 times already when it shot off my belt due to an arm brush or getting something out of my pocket. So far I have been able to find it each time but it is annoying when it happens. The android app is pretty clean thought I wish there was a way I could review the result on the web. The app has a feature called smart coach which attempts to motivate you to continually do better but increasing your activity, sleep and better caloric intake. This is great most of the time but it would be nice to have an "i'm injured" feature to explain why activity plummets to minimal.
So in summary well-featured and easy to use for a great price tag. If you are considering getting into personal tracking and do not want to face the $200-$300 expenditure of other tracker this is a great alternative.

Great tracker and easy to use

For the price, this is a great tracker. It tracks your steps and sleep and workouts. It can even tell the time in a unique way. Syncs flawlessly by Bluetooth to my iPhone. And the free smartphone app gives lots of info, encouragement and it's easy to use. You can set up teams so you can compare to family and friends.
There are a few small cons. One is the battery life. They say it's 6+ months but it's more like 3-4 months. Another is the accessories. They are pricey and not very well made. The band, which they say is essential for sleep tracking, is sold separately and is easily stretched out.

Best Tracker for the price

I bought this about a month ago and I absolutely love it! It tracks your sleep, steps, and activity. the tricky part for me is remembering to click the device to let it know im starting a working or sleep mode.
The app's golden feature of this product (although it IS available for free in the App Store for both iOS and Android). The app allows you to track your food consumption and calculates calories for you as well as calories burned from your workout. It lets you interact with others on the app and challenge them. I like that the app is more friendly than competitive (you can cheer your friends on!). I use the app a lot :)
The actual device is versatile and can be attached to practically ANYTHING. I've never had it slip or even budge. The way it's designed allows for it to cling to anything. I also had it clipped to my sports bra during a workout and later went swimming to cool off and forgot I had it on. The device is waterproof although I don't think it's designed for water/swimming (not sure?) but it worked with me! I've taken it swimming a few times after that. This being said, sweat/rain/snow, etc. won't affect the function of the device. Awesome!
I haven't had to replace the battery as of yet but from what I've read it lasts long.
I don't use any accessories with it personally. I like that it's discreet as a clip-on and don't like wearing anything on my wrists so I retuned the wrist bands I had purchased with this. That's a personal preference though.
Bought a second device for my mom!

Tracker: One of the cheapest trackers in the market. No heavy on technology but still gets its word through the user. Get moving with only $50. No fancy lights (this one actually has a few to show time). No extra heart rate information. Just plain and simple step count with classic pinnable design.
App: The best fitness app you can get out there. Works on almost all smart phones. The coach feature is really a great motivator. Take challenges and get rewards for completing them.
Battery: put once and forget about 4-6 months depending on usage.
Cons: Needs separate band to purchase for sleep tracking. At times it's difficult to put tracker in the mount, gets better with practice.

Some Good, but with Serious Flaws
|

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The Good: It's small and inexpensive. It does a good job tracking steps, and syncs easily and wirelessly with the UP app. It takes an easy-to-find watch battery, so it does not need to be charged.
The Bad: It's not so good if you want to track sleep also. A wrist band is an extra $15, and it's a nuisance to get the thing in and out of it's clip. The UP app itself, is poorly designed and coded. It crashes frequently, sometimes crashing the phone itself (something I've seen no other app do.) And if you are tracking sleep, the app adds more sleep every time it syncs. On one day, it eventually said I had slept for over 23 hours between 11 and 6:30. This happened almost every day. BTW these app problems apply to any of the Jawbone trackers.
And the Worst: The clip does not hold tightly to your clothing, causing the device to fall off while you are using it. Mine lasted about a week before falling off someplace where it could not be found.
I replaced it with a different product, one that does not have the serious disadvantages as this one.

I enjoy using the Jawbone Up Move because of the ability to utilize the clip instead of a wrist band (although those are available). While it does not have all the features of the higher end Jawbone options (or various competitors), the UP Move has the features that I am looking for most -- step and sleep tracking -- with the ability to sync to other applications.
If you are looking for a wifi enabled basic step tracker for a modest price, this is a good option. The software is fairly easy to use and also allows for inputting workouts, mood, food, weight, and sleep (if you forgot to turn on the tracker). You can also team up with your friends to encourage each other and write comments about their workouts or your own.

I like all features that let me log in food but frustrated when doing manual for sometimes i cook homemade but other than that i like the sleep track and doesnt get in the way when sleeping meaning doesnt self click and love it use as watch but barely keep it on wrist cause it's easy to fall. It is pretty accurate but hard to count because its not screen type though not big deal. As for the price, pretty good deal for such small device that has all I need to keep me motivated.

Purchased this for myself. I wanted a device that did not go on my wrist but on my waistband or pocket due to my job. You need to have a smartphone compatible, but it measures sleep movement as well as steps. I can log any workouts (swimming) when I'm not wearing the up move device. Just purchased one for my husband to motivate him and we can "friend" each other for some healthy competition.
Have not used all the features yet, hence only 4 stars.

Love the Up Move, very acurate steps and activity as well as sleep tracking. Love sharing goals and progress with family and friends. Easily provides incentives to work at goals. Wish it was waterproof so it would count my laps in the pool.

I love how it can be clipped on and easily hidden to assist in keeping track of my steps. Before this, I lugged around a pencil and notebook and counted my steps to keep track, you could say I'm moving on up! It even keeps track of your sleep habits so no more waking up in the middle of the night to jot down notes for me. Gotta love technology.

The Jawbone UP app is great and easy to understand. I also love how it integrates with MyFitnessPal, which I use to track calories. I only have two complaints about my Jawbone: 1) sometimes it loses its sync connection with my iPhone, and I have to "reboot" the tracker. 2) It can be really difficult to get in and out of the provided clip.

I love my Move. I never have to worry about it falling off like I did with my old Fitbit. It syncs wonderfully with my calorie tracker app and the daily "Today I will..." challenges have helped me make positive changes in my daily habits. The sleep tracker is a nice feature too. I love it so much, a coworker and her partner each got one based on my recommendation and they both love it too!

Bought this for my wife to wear. Just needed something to track her steps each day. The sleep tracking is a plus. She is not a tech guru so the ease of use was important. It was easy to setup. Have had some sync issues but everything I have ever purchased with Bluetooth always has some. This device is a clip-on and secures very well to her clothing.

Got this item in the store for a better deal than the online sale. It has worked very well, exceeding all my expectations. I chose this over a wrist version, as I do not like things on my wrist (they get caught all too often). I have had it working for a few weeks, and have not yet needed to change out the battier. It syncs up to my iPhone perfectly and tracks steps very well (top goal 20,000+ steps so far). The goal tracker works very well, and tracks the idle time on the Up device, to track when I am sleeping.

I wanted to try a fitness tracker to see if they were for me, so I bought the UP move because it was affordable enough that I wasn't losing too much if I didn't like it. I've been using this product for nearly 2 months and have very pleased so far. It's very easy to use and the accompanying app is awesome. It makes it easy to track everything from activity levels, to workouts, to nutrition. Definitely a great tool for the money.

I love this tracker. I have been using a company-supplied pedometer for years, but when this showed up on sale, I figured I'd get it as a back up, as my old pedometer had 4 years and countless (seriously) miles on it. That one is now resting comfortably in a drawer, and this is my sole stepper (no pun intended). The Jawbone app is great, offering feedback and challenges regularly. It's like having a coach in your phone....
Paired with the MyFitnessPal app, the Move stepper and Up app are a no-brainer!

picked this up on sale and have not been disappointed.
Keeps track of steps, has a stop watch, tracks sleep, and even can be used as a watch.
I had to buy the wrist bands for it to track sleep
i dont mind having to log activities on the app, but some might
