Jawbone Up or Alternatives

[Kingdom35]

Hi All

Looking for opinions. I did have a Jawbone Up (original) thought it was decent value for money and did the job, but it broke within a year so now I'm looking again a few years down the line and can see they've been improved and the Jawbone UP3 is out. But again ive seen some poor reviews, so I'm asking is there any alternative around the same price that does the job better and is more robust?


Looking for the sleep monitoring, step/activity monitoring, heart rate monitoring and general food/diet tracker (if possible)


Oh and this device will need to be usuable with an ipad rather than a smart phone.


Any experiences/recommendations welcome

Thanks in advance

There are so many out there but Fitbit range have reportedly the best software UI out there and aren't that expensive if you just want basic functionality.

I thought Jawbone were in the process of being liquidated. So I would steer clear of them.
Go to www.dcrainmaker.com and read his reviews. I would go with Garmin, a vivoactive of some kind.

Hi looks good, can this be used with an ipad only? As I don't have a smart phone

I've had a Mii Band 2 for about a year now and it's been faultless. I originally got it to monitor my heart rate whilst exercising and have since started using it, along with the associated app on my phone to monitor my times when running.
Just yesterday its bigger brother, the Xiaomi Amazfit BIP was delivered, it's a full smartwatch rather than a fitness band and I'm impressed with this too so far. I paid less than £50 for it from www.geekbuying.com and that included tracked shipping.
