"UP marks our commitment to solving everyday problems for real people," said Hosain Rahman, Jawbone CEO and Founder. "We've combined hardware, software and data, developed 28 new manufacturing processes, and created unparalleled testing standards validated by nearly three million hours of real-world testing. The resulting breakthroughs have allowed us to create the category's first truly day-and-night wearable product - a band that looks great and fits effortlessly into the way you live, along with an app that delivers detailed data with meaningful insights to help you achieve your goals."
UP Gives You a Rich Picture of Yourself
UP utilizes sensors in the wristband, the powerful phone in your pocket, and data in the cloud to deliver a narrative of your daily life:
-- Sleep: UP employs a revolutionary sleep tracking system. Sophisticated
motion-sensing technology tracks micro-movements of your wrist to
deliver unprecedented detail including how long it took you to fall
asleep, how much light vs. deep sleep you got, how long you were in bed
and how many times you woke up during the night. By using the new Power
Nap feature or setting the silent Smart Alarm, UP wakes you at the most
optimal point in your sleep cycle so you wake up feeling refreshed and
alert.
-- Move: UP gives you comprehensive information about how you move
throughout the day, including active vs. idle time, intensity of
movement, total steps, distance, and calories burned. UP also vibrates
gently to remind you to get up and move when you've been inactive for a
specified amount of time.
-- Eat: UP helps you understand more about your food choices. Simply take a
photo of your food to create a visual journal, or go deeper by scanning
a barcode or searching the database for more complete nutritional
information.
-- Mood: UP lets you keep track of how you feel throughout the day so you
can correlate how your sleep, movement, and eating affect your mood.
-- Insights: UP analyzes your data to deliver highly personalized insights.
It reveals connections between different elements of your life, shows
how you compare to others, and educates with new information that's
tailored for you. The more you use UP, the more powerful the insights
will become.
UP is Designed for the Way You Live
UP is a sophisticated computer wrapped comfortably around your wrist and built to withstand everyday life. Encased in a smooth, hypoallergenic, medical-grade rubber, UP is shower- and splash-resistant so that you can wear it all day and night. With up to ten days of battery life you rarely have to take it off to charge.
"The UP band is powered by the patented MotionX® engine which encapsulates years of technology development and innovation on the biomechanics of natural human motion. The accuracy and power efficiency of MotionX has been critical in enabling UP to deliver a 24/7 product experience," said Philippe Kahn, CEO and founder of Fullpower, developer of the MotionX technology.
Available on November 13
The UP band comes in three sizes (Small, Medium, and Large) and eight colors (Onyx, Mint Green, Light Grey, Blue, Navy Blue, Red, Orange, Hunter Green), and will be available for $129.99 at Jawbone.com, Apple, AT&T, and Best Buy nationwide beginning November 13.
The UP by Jawbone App is available today for free from the App Store on your iPhone or at http://www.itunes.com/appstore/. The UP wristband is required for the app.
