The UP2 lacks a display ,which is both, a boon and a bane. The absence of a display means that the UP2 is super slim, but it also means that you will still have to take out your smartphone in order to check your activity status.

The best part of the Jawbone UP2, or for that matter, any Jawbone device, is its software. The Jawbone UP app is super colourful and super powerful, and is supported on both iOS and Android devices ( So sorry Windows Phone Users ).
The app features a host of different features apart from the fitness tracker. Other than tracking your walking or jogging sessions everyday, you can also track the food you eat, or even your mood swings. For those super competitive people out there, the Jawbone app enable you to create groups, and compete amongst each other, to see who is the fittest of the lot. Whats more, the Jawbone app can also pair with several popular third party apps as well, making it super versatile.
Whast amazing is that once you start using the UP2 device and app on a regular basis, the app tracksyour activity, and starts giving you coaching tips to help you improve your regime. It also throws different fitness based challenges at you to help you take your fitness a step ahead, but of course, its up to you to accept or reject the challenges.
All in all, the UP2 device along with the Jawbone apps, are like the fitness coach you never head, and much more. YOu have to use it to really believe it.
