One thing that the UP2 has going for it is that you can use it as a sort of silent alarm of sorts as it provides the user with a feature to set it to a light vibrate mode. Once enabled, the UP2 will lightly vibrate, and serves the purpose of waking you up every morning without hammering your ears with those nasty jarring sounds that you get on your smartphone devices. There is also another feature known as the smart sleep window. In this, the UP2 devices attempts to wake you up, in case you are in a state of light sleep. It’s not very efficient, so i’d rather you stay away from that feature for the time being.

Design –
The new UP2 device is better than its predecessor in every possible way. The design is super simplistic, and feels amazing when worn on the wrist. The older version did have a nagging issue of falling off every once in a while , but thanks to the new design mechanism, the falling off the wrist problem is now a thing of the past.
On the top side, both the UP2 devices look the same. When you flip them over however, you will clearly see the difference.
The new UP2 device features two thin straps on either side with a small hook clasp on one of the straps that is hooked onto to an adjustable bar. Another cool thing you can do with the UP2 is that you can wear it on your wrist , with the bands facing on top, so that it looks more like a nice bracelet, than a fitness tracker.
Jawbone has also made their new UP2 model fully water proof, which means that you can fearlessly do your dishes, or even take a shower with the band on. It will hold out just fine. However, make sure you absolutely don’t wear it on you when going for a swim. It may be water proof to a certain degree, so pushing it a bit too far would not be recommended.
