Jawbone Up 24 Review

If you are a fitness freak and only believe in numbers when it comes to calories then you must be on the look – out for a device which will tell you about how much calorie you have shed. Jawbone Up24 is one such device which you can wear around your wrist comfortably and it pairs with Android/iOSapp too. This is fun to wear a wristband which actually does keep track of your daily fitness routine and also making a fashion statement. The only thing is that you have to connect it with some Smartphone to get the data it has collected as it doesn’t have any display on the device itself apart from 2 led light and a button.

Design

If we talk about design, then you can say that it looks pretty good, but the only problem is that the end doesn’t rest flat. It comes in three colors black and red. You will also get their sizes so that you can buy the one that fits your wrist and the sizes are small, medium, large. Tracking your health can be fashionable too, and this has been shown by Jawbone Up24. The thought that has gone into making this wonderful piece of the device is intelligently crafted so that people can use it on a daily basis. It is like you are doing your regular jobs with a computer wrapped around your wrist  as it is so light that you hardly feel it.
