good for beginners
This is my first activity tracker. I wanted to make sure I would use it. The app is easy and there are several features. For the price, it is great. If you are wanting to use it to track heart rate during activity, this is probably not the tracker for you. This only takes "resting" heart rate. I'm not sure how accurate the sleep monitoring feature is. I've started manually starting the "sleep" vs letting it determine when it thinks I have gone to sleep. Tracking food is fairly easy. However, the scanner does not always work and the data base for food/nutrition info is not as expansive as other food tracking apps I have used. Same for the activity log. They have some good choices, but if your activity is not one of the pre-programmed activities, your out of luck. It also does not link with the iphone health app like some other apps do. My biggest complaint is the clasp. I find it slides too easily along the band with daily activity and loosens the fit. It also comes unclasped fairly easily. I have to really pay attention so I don't lose it at times. It does vibrate when you have hit your target steps, but for any other feedback you have to open the app on your phone. I do like the narrow, lightweight design. Easy to clean.Read full review...

Stick with Fitbit HR
Hi, I have used the fibtit one, fitbit charge and the misfit shine. They all have wonderful qualities that would be wonderful if you could combine them together! With that being said I am switching to the fitbit charge hr which tops all the previous mentioned.
The problem with the jawbone UP3 is that it is NOT very accurate with your step count! You can't set your stride length like you can on other fitness trackers. If you use my fitness pal, the UP3 app does NOT work as well as the fitbit app connected together.
And your sleep tracking! I have been awake for an hour or more, even going to the bathroom and it recorded me for light sleep! Not to mention it takes an act of congress to charge the UP3,very awkward.

long battery life and easy to use
I purchased the up3 to use when my battery ran out on my apple watch. Mostly i use the UP3 for sleep tracking, but sometimes i use it for activity tracking. it comes in handy to have an alternative. i charged the UP3 when i received it and have had to charge it every 5 days or so. The app tells you when the battery is getting low, so that is when i put it on the charger. a few hours later it is ready for almost a week. i use the smart alarm feature to wake me up at a good time close to the time i pick for the alarm. It automatically detects the type of activity that one is engaged in so that makes it easy also. The app makes suggestions how to change behavior to achieve goals.Read full review...

Attractive Sleep & Activity Tracker
This is an attractive activity and sleep tracker. It keeps track of deep sleep, REM sleep, and light sleep. Included in the light sleep data is any period when you are lying quiet and still, even if you are not asleep, so the light sleep number you get may not really be all sleep. The activity part keeps track of steps, calories, distance, active burn, and resting burn.
I like this tracker for the information it gives and because it is not bulky and ugly. I have a little concern about the clasp. This is my second UP3 tracker, because I recently lost my first one. It came off 3 times and I realized it and put it back on my wrist. But the last time it came off, I did not realize it, and I have no idea where it came off. I had the other tracker for 6 months or so before the clasp started getting loose, so I will be watching the clasp more closely on this one. I do like this tracker.
I would love to see something added to this tracker as it is updated in future models. UP3 allows you to log a workout, but it only lists 6 kinds of workouts. It would be nice if you could input a different workout, or if it listed more than 6 possibilities. Also, it asks for the effort level of the workout, and I cannot get it to change from easy to moderate. It always list easy, even when I have a more difficult workout.Read full review...

Doesn't do the job properly
Cons:
Battery time on full charge 3 days (promised 7-10)
Heart-rate only over time ( every 25 min or so) and measure your heart rate even when not wearing the band, seems pretty inaccurate.
App does tries to up-load events, when shut down & bluetooth turned off = Battery of cellphone drained by crappy app.
Sleep tracking seems random, even when i wake during the night and shake the band, to make sure it measures that i was awake it doesn't register, and says i'm sound asleep at that point.
Smart alarm, just pick a time close to alarm set time. Often been awake for 15-20 min before it goes off.
Pros:
Haven't had any trouble of it falling off and free complementary safety plastic clip from company.
Nice design, seems sleek and with a couple of other accessories like watch or armbands you don't see it all.Read full review...

So far I love it
This makes it super easy to track sleep and other activities throughout the day. It becomes a game to see how active you can be during the day and if you can make your sleep better and longer. Being able to see what kind of sleep you're getting is fantastic as well. It would be nice to be able to customize some things in the app, like being able to change the nutritional values from the standard "American diet" to other things like Atkins or Paleo, but overall this is a great, accurate overall tracker.

Bad choice
I bought the Jawbone UP3 because they had bought out BodyMedia and were supposedly using sensor technology from their armbands in the UP models. The BodyMedia Fit Link was exceptionally accurate on all levels, so I felt that the same technology in the Jawbone wrist band would be the best way to go. Wrong! The BodyMedia sensors were created for the upper arm, not for the wrist, so the information I am getting from the UP3 is highly inaccurate. It logs sleep when I am awake and working in my office. It logs steps when it is in my purse and not even being worn. The clasp is very difficult to work with, making it hard to get the band on and off. It is, effectively, a $180 piece of jewelry. I would never recommend this product.Read full review...

Easy to use, lightweight with amazing software.
I have been using this product for over two weeks now and I am so impressed with the Jawbone UP3! I was a bit skeptical based on a few of the reviews I read about the device falling off, so I purchased a little plastic band similar to what you see on a watch band to hold it in place and have had no problems with it at all. It is lightweight, I don't even notice it at all. The features are amazing. I am obsessed with the sleep tracking! It tracks light, REM and deep sleep and will even tell you how many times you woke up during the night.
The Up app is awesome, it is so easy to use and has so many great features. Entering food consumed is very simple and it even lets you scan the bar codes of the food you eat. The step counter seems very accurate. It has a smart coach that learns about you the more you wear it and makes suggestions based on your information. There are two things that I wish it did a little better. It only tracks resting heart rate, it does not tell you your heart rate for active time. Also it only has a small range of workout types, I do 30 minute circuit training daily but that is not an option and it doesn't let you type in the name of the workout like the myfitnesspal app does. It does link up with myfitnesspal and many other apps if you chose to do so but I have not used that feature yet. Overall this is a great product and you can not beat the price compared to purchasing a much more expensive fitbit that does exactly the same thing. I highly recommend it.Read full review...

Not a good choice
Not satisfied! The one I bought cannot turn it on when I was trying to charge it at the first time, so I went to Bestbuy and get another one. This one is okay to use, the battery is enough for 3-4days not 7days as it said. Also when I wear it as a daily basis, the bracer loss its color, and Turing to a blue and greyish color on the edge. That is just passed three weeks!!! Very unsatisfacted!Read full review...

So far, great!
I was able to use the Jawbone 3 right away with a minimum batterycharge and after installing the the UP easy-to-navigate app on my iPhone , I was up and running (literally and figuratively) in no time at all.
It immediately started tracking my steps and movement. I was able to set up manageable goals according to my lifestyle as a 'woman of a certain age' and since it has not quite been a full week, I've already pushed myself beyond my normal routine for a work at home, somewhat sedentary person. But getting up mornings has allowed me the double pleasure of walking my dog and allowing me to meet my step goal on the front end of the day.
Sleeping is my Achilles. When I lay down, I fall asleep easily. Going to bed at a decent hour is another thing. The Jawbone 3 gives me reminders and vibrating 'nudges' when it's time for bedtime. And the app details your sleeping patterns and resting heart rate to keep you on track and to monitor sleep/wake patterns so you can modify your habits for not just rest but for your overall health.
However, it only works, if you do. Overall I'm pleased to have the Jawbone 3 as a motivator to be, and live a more healthy, active life by making better lifestyle choices.
I would highly recommend it if you want to enhance your already healthy lifestyle or if you need something to get you motivated to start a healthy lifestyle and fitness journey
It's a winner for me.Read full review...
