Cons

Unlike earlier models, the UP2 is light, slimline and appears to be free of the bugs and clasp issues experienced previously. But there still some actual unexpected report regarding this type of Jawbone activity and sleep tracker:

· Despite only having the UP2 for a short period of time, it is difficult to keep clean and quickly starts to look a little worn in places,

· Doesn’t offer heart rate monitoring, which is offered in many of the more recent fitness tracker products on the market,

· Not water-proof which means it cannot be worn during swimming or water sports.

In conclusion:

The UP2 is recommended for anyone looking for a fitness tracker band that is easy to set up, easy to use, and when purchasing the lightweight thin strap band, doesn’t have the clunky design of some other fitness bands on the market.
