Battery Life –
Jawbone claims that the UP2 will last you 10 days on a single charge. On constant usage though, I can safely say that Jawbone wasn’t lying about that. The numbers may not be exactly 10 days, but you can squeeze out a week with relative ease. This performance it at par with that of its competitor, the FitBit Charge, which also gives you a week on a single charge. Other players, like the Garmin Vivofit and Misfit Shine each have a coin battery that can last up to one year.
As far as charging is concerned, the UP2 features the same charger provision as the original UP2. It’s basically a 4 pin magnetic connector which connects to your computer or wall charger, and takes up to an hour and a half to hit 100 % charge.
Conclusion –
The new look UP2 is definitely, leaps and bounds ahead of its predecessor, in all aspects. Sure, it may not have the more advanced features that you find in most fitness trackers today, but its amazing app propels the product forward in the race, making it a must have for any fitness enthusiast. I would strongly recommend buying the Jawbone UP2 , if you are indeed on a lookout for fitness trackers, but make sure that the model you are buying is the new redesigned one, as the older variant has issues you might not like dealing with.
