Jawbone UP24 review: now with Bluetooth. Jawbone UP24: with jawbone on hand Smart bracelet jawbone up 24

I’ll say right away: I’m not an athlete and I don’t watch my weight. I'm too lazy to go to the gym and weigh myself. But, like many people, one of my main problems is sleep. Or rather its disadvantage. It is not customary here, as in Japan, to select a work schedule for employees depending on their ability to work at a certain time of day. Therefore, for the most part, everyone has to work hard from nine to six. And no one is interested in the fact that just after six I am more productive - sit down and work. So it turns out that my routine is not the same as everyone else’s: in the morning I can’t lift my head from the pillow, and at night I can’t fall asleep before 3 o’clock. Alarm clocks work, but turning them off is not a problem in order to continue sleeping peacefully. And this was precisely the reason to take a closer look at the UP bracelet from Jawbone. But let's take things in order.

1 package

There is nothing remarkable in the small box, perhaps, except for the most important thing: a special slot with which you can determine which size is right for you. Take, for example, size M, thread your hand through and see if your future purchase fits the size of your hand. If it squeezes, then try a different size, if it fits, then you can safely buy.

It is worth noting that the first three generally accepted sizes are a little small. I took the medium one for myself, but it turned out that it “looses” a little during the day, and “S” is small and compresses the brush too much. Therefore, if you have the opportunity to try on the bracelet itself before purchasing, do so.

In the package itself, in addition to the bracelet, there is a small book with a manual and an adapter from USB to 2.5mm jack. When you first open the package, the presentation is lost, so if you are going to give a bracelet to someone, do not check it in advance.

2. Appearance

The bracelet itself is available in three colors: black, light gray and blue. There are no clasps or clips, you just put the bracelet on your hand and that’s it. Very convenient, you don’t need to unfasten anything if you want to quickly take it off or put it on. The design itself is light, quite durable, bends well and practically does not interfere with the hand. Although those who like to sleep on their arm instead of a pillow will be somewhat constrained in terms of comfort. It’s not very comfortable to rest your head on your hand with a bracelet, so you’ll have to either move it to the other hand or get used to the pillow.
The design of the bracelet itself is covered with a hypoallergenic synthetic coating, similar to rubber, and does not cause any unpleasant sensations when worn.

At one end of the bracelet there is a functional button, and at the other there is a plug for a 2.5mm jack for charging. The button travel is small, but pressing it is felt well. The connector plug fits tightly, so you don’t have to worry about moisture getting inside it.
True, those who like to shower with a watch will be disappointed. Although the bracelet is waterproof (that is, you can get it wet in the rain and wash your hands with it - no problem), nevertheless, it is not recommended to take water procedures with it. The same applies to the pool, be careful!

On the bracelet itself there are two operating mode indicators: the sun (day mode) and the moon (night mode). The indicators are always off and do not waste power just like that, turning on only when the button is pressed. Purely theoretically, for convenience, it would be possible to make a watch that shows the time “on request,” but the bracelet is still a sports accessory, so there is nothing like that in it. If you want to know the time, look on your smartphone or a regular watch.

Hidden inside the structure bluetooth module, which helps synchronize the bracelet with a smartphone application (in previous versions of UP, synchronization was carried out by connecting the bracelet itself to the headphone jack of your iOS device). Whenever you launch the application, UP wakes up and transfers all accumulated data to the smartphone. How people used previous versions I don’t understand, because each time removing the bracelet from your hand and connecting it to your iPhone is a thankless and time-consuming task. Although the process is quite fast, I still expected more (for example, background synchronization).

It is worth mentioning the battery, which is stated to work for 7 days. In fact, it all depends on the intensity of use. The first time, after being fully charged, 10 days passed before the bracelet began to signal that its charge was running out and it was time to charge.

3. iOS app

Perhaps the most interesting thing. I’ll warn you in advance: the application is not universal, it was made exclusively for the iPhone, however, installing it on the iPad is not a problem (but with all the ensuing adaptations in the interface).
The purpose of the application is to count the number of steps taken and monitor your health. Only the first is done automatically; the application needs help with the second.
To begin, you will be asked to activate and personalize the bracelet. To do this, you need to fill in some information about yourself, such as gender, height, weight, etc. Based on the data you enter, you will be told that people with the same parameters walk on average so many steps per day and sleep so many hours. This can serve as some kind of guideline or incentive to stick to the routine.

As the new day begins, UP will begin counting the number of steps you have taken. It should be noted that the bracelet counts quite accurately. I left the house, walked to the minibus stop - the bracelet clearly counted the distance I had traveled. Then, when I got on the bus and drove along our bumpy roads for about an hour, the bracelet did not count any extra steps.

The bracelet also monitors you while you sleep. Press and hold the button on it to switch from day mode to night mode, and the UP will track your sleep. In the morning you will be able to see statistics on how you slept (how long it took you to fall asleep, how many times you woke up, how many hours you slept and how long it took to run to the refrigerator at night). Similar statistics at the end of the day can be viewed for your daily activity; this applies not only to the number of steps taken, but also their mileage, the time at which you walked, and so on.

In addition, it is possible to more carefully monitor your condition. You can enter into the app everything you eat and drink during the day. The application has a huge product database, so if you indicated what you ate and in what quantity, then they will kindly calculate the added calories, fats, proteins, carbohydrates, etc. Those who like to keep themselves in shape will be pleased. If there is no place for your dish from the entire extensive database of products, you can add it manually. And if among the purchased food there is food with a barcode, then it can be scanned and the product can be added to the food eaten.

Take, for example, a bottle of kefir, scan the barcode and you’re done. The application itself recognizes what exactly you consumed and how much benefit it added to you. Fast, simple and convenient. But, unfortunately, it is limited. There are no barcodes on the cooked soup, so adding it will be more time consuming.

In the application, you can also indicate what you did. We are talking, of course, about training. You went to the gym, entered the time and type of workout, and the application itself calculated how many calories you burned and how much fat you burned.
But for those lazy people who don’t want to do this, there is a little help - the so-called tips. They are not disabled in the settings and are updated once a day, based on your activity statistics.

In addition to other statistics you can view and prompts to motivate your next actions, the app allows you to add friends (from Twitter, Facebook or Contacts) who also have a Jawbone bracelet. Comparing each other's statistics is another stimulating moment. In this case, wearing a bracelet takes on a certain competitive aspect between friends. And who doesn't want to be first?

Another interesting feature: support third party services, such as Run Keeper and IFTTT. There are 15 such services in total and each of them can be connected to your UP. For example, for owners of Philips Hue light bulbs, there is a very cool recipe: when your UP wakes you up in the morning, the lights in the room automatically turn on. Or, for example, for owners of WeMo sockets there is also great way Wake up more refreshed: If you've slept less than the specified amount of time, then when you wake up, the configured recipe will send a signal to the WeMo outlet, which will turn on itself to brew your morning coffee. And, as you understand, there may be such examples great amount.

4. General impression

Well, now about what my impression of this bracelet is. I've been wearing it for about a month, but I was able to fully test it only for about two weeks due to reasons beyond my control.
As I wrote at the very beginning, I don’t particularly monitor my weight, and I simply ignore the gym, so the main selection criterion was only the alarm clock. For me, opening my eyes in the morning is pure hell (and I seem to know what they will torture me with there), so the “smart” alarm clock was extremely interesting to me. And most importantly, it works. Although skeptics claim that this is just a “placebo effect.” In any case, it works.

When setting an alarm, you can specify the so-called “smart sleep” window from 10 to 30 minutes. During this interval, the bracelet begins to more closely monitor how you move in your sleep and wakes you up at a more appropriate time in the “light sleep” phase - this contributes to a more alert awakening. The vibration with which the bracelet wakes you up, frankly, is not the most pleasant, and just like a beeping alarm clock, you want to turn it off as quickly as possible. However, it is still much better and more effective. In addition, you do not disturb anyone’s sleep with extraneous sounds, but quietly and calmly get up and get ready. Of course, you need to understand that if you sleep 3 hours a day, then even UP will not be able to help you wake up easily.

For those who like to take a nap after lunch, there is also a great opportunity to take a little nap and wake up more rested. For this, there is a special option “Daytime sleep”, which can be activated if you decide to get some sleep. The time of such sleep begins to vary from 5 minutes, so if coffee does not help and you are no longer able to hold your head, then perhaps by sleeping a little during the daytime, you can end the day quite cheerful.

Of course, I’m not a fan of sleeping during the day, but I still used this function once. It works exactly the same as a regular alarm clock, with the only exception that it “monitors” your sleep from beginning to end.

5. Price

Overall, I am pleased with the bracelet (everything except the price in Russia). Official resellers ask about 9 thousand rubles for the device, and “gray” sellers ask about 500 rubles less. It seems to me that this is a lot, so I recommend purchasing from Amazon, which will send you a bracelet within 10-15 days. And the price, including delivery, will be about 6,500 - 7,000 thousand rubles.

While most manufacturers are just entering the smart bracelet market, Jawbone has already released the third generation of its device from this currently popular category. The new version of the bracelet is called Jawbone UP24. Many users believe that thanks to its experience in developing such devices, the company should create a gadget that will leave competitors far behind and become a kind of standard among smart bracelets. Is this so? Let’s try to figure it out together.

Design and construction features

If we talk about the appearance of the Jawbone UP24, then at first glance it is difficult to distinguish the third generation bracelet from, say, the second. If you look more closely, the new product is revealed by a modified design on the device’s body.

In fact, there are much more differences. So, Jawbone UP24 has become a little thinner than the second generation bracelet. The reason for this “weight loss” lies in the use of a thinner plug - now it is a 2.5 mm plug rather than a 3.5 mm plug.

The only one also changed mechanical button, with which this bracelet is controlled. In the new version it also became a little smaller.

If you look at the new version of the bracelet in general, then it appearance practically unchanged. And this is somewhat frustrating. Many potential buyers hoped that the third generation of this bracelet would receive a new look, because even much more famous companies do not allow themselves to use the same style three times.

By the way, the old design of the Jawbone UP24 means that most likely the problem with the unexpected failure of the device has not gone away. Moreover, breakdowns often occur even before the end of the warranty period. It is possible that the new product inherited this feature along with the old design.

Since we are talking about the design of the bracelet, it is worth paying a little more attention to it. As before, the basis of the device is a bent sheet of high-quality spring steel. It houses all the electronics necessary for the operation of the Jawbone UP24, covered on top with hypoallergenic rubber.

Note that this design has a very limited degree of bending. According to representatives of the manufacturer, this is precisely the reason for the frequent breakdowns of the device - users simply put it on and take it off incorrectly. Jawbone even created a special video that shows how to do it correctly.

Of course, there is a possibility that following these video instructions exactly will reduce the likelihood of the bracelet breaking to almost zero, but a design that contains such an engineering miscalculation can hardly be called successful. True, Jawbone UP24 has a built-in Bluetooth module for synchronization, so the new bracelet no longer needs to be removed as often as before.

Wear resistance

Almost the entire body of the new Jawbone UP24 is covered with special hypoallergenic rubber, which can be either black or orange. This material is not only pleasant to the touch, but also does not cause skin irritation when used.

True, it still has one small drawback - when the bracelet comes into contact with clothing or other parts of the body, its surface quickly wears down. Fortunately, this has virtually no effect on the appearance of the Jawbone UP24.

Like its predecessors, the new generation of Jawbone smart bracelet is not afraid of water - it can be safely immersed in water to a depth of 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. But at the same time, the manufacturer does not recommend using the Jawbone UP24 when swimming, although it is still not necessary to remove it to go to the shower.

Exploitation

If you follow the video instructions discussed above, the Jawbone UP24 fits on your hand with almost no problems. True, it fits on the hand itself somewhat worse than the same Fitbit Force. But this is a design feature of this bracelet, as is its increased grip on clothing.

The new generation of Jawbone bracelet still comes in three sizes. The choice of one option or another depends on the size of the owner’s wrist, and it can be determined using the appropriate instructions, which are available on the manufacturer’s website. If the size was chosen correctly, then Jawbone UP24 does not cause negative sensations when worn and does not put pressure on the hand.

As for controlling the bracelet, you can use either a button on the device itself or a special application for a smartphone. In the first case, you need to press the key in a different sequence.

Synchronization

Currently, Jawbone UP24 only supports synchronization with the iPhone, and the bracelet is connected to it using Bluetooth 4.0.

Unfortunately, there were problems here too. Although Bluetooth 4.0 is used successfully by many devices, the Jawbone UP24 works well with it occasionally. Special application does not always detect the bracelet the first time, which is why the Jawbone UP24 has to be turned on and off. There is a possibility that the roots of the problem lie in the application itself and everything will be fixed in the next update.

To recharge the Jawbone UP24, you need to use a special 2.5 mm to USB adapter. In this case, synchronization does not occur when the bracelet is connected to the PC.

Dream

The third generation of Jawbone's bracelet has a built-in accelerometer, thanks to which the device can monitor the user's sleep quality. The bracelet determines the moment when he falls asleep and how deeply he sleeps and, based on this information, calculates the stages of sleep.

Based on the data obtained, the operation of the smart alarm clock is built. In theory, it works when the user is in the least deep phase of sleep. As a result, waking up with such a wake-up call is much easier.

Technically, this is implemented as follows: the owner of the Jawbone UP24 sets the alarm for the required time, and also indicates the range in which it needs to be woken up (for example, 10 or 30 minutes).

Bracelet for a healthy lifestyle

Initially, the device asks the user to take at least 10,000 steps daily, as well as sleep at least 8 hours. To follow these instructions, you will have to give up transport and travel more on foot, and you will have to go to bed earlier than most of us are used to.

Sports activities

While playing sports, Jawbone UP24 can work in activity tracking mode. In this mode, data is recorded on the duration of the session, the distance traveled, as well as the intensity and average pace of the exercises. In addition, calories burned are also taken into account.

True, this data is only enough for a basic analysis of the training performed, and it is not suitable for every type of physical exercise. Most modern smart watch, designed for athletes, has much more interesting functionality in this regard. True, the Jawbone UP24 is able to connect to applications such as RunKeeper or Strava, which somewhat saves the situation.

The device transfers its data to them so that the program can work with it in the future. But it is still worth understanding this: the Jawbone UP24 is a bracelet designed to track daily activity, and not to record the user's performance during exercise.

Autonomous operation

The developers equipped the Jawbone UP24 with a built-in battery with a capacity of 38 mAh. This usually lasts for 5-7 days depending on the intensity of data synchronization.

Proper nutrition

To keep yourself in shape, it’s not enough to move a lot. You also need to eat right. To control this aspect, the creators of the Jawbone UP24 have equipped their bracelet with a product database, which has recently increased significantly. In addition, the user can add both ready-made dishes and individual products to it.

Expert opinion

Anastasia Goloborodko, culinary journalist, blogger, food editor of bit.ua shares her impressions:

“Monitoring of consumed products in the Jawbone UP application creates a very complete and accurate picture of calories consumed and their further consumption. The application independently divides all entered information into categories - proteins, fats, carbohydrates, omega-3, salt, fiber, cholesterol, etc. The built-in database contains almost all known products, as well as many dishes (even from exotic cuisines). Important point: if we take into account the calories consumed, then we should not forget about sauces and oils - they are also contained in the base.”

In custody

If we compare the Jawbone UP24 with previous generations, there are not as many innovations as we would like. Owners of the second generation bracelet are unlikely to exchange their device for a new one, especially in light of the higher price of the latter.

To be honest, Jawbone continues to remain in the same place. And this at a time when there are more and more competitors. Of course, all the innovations benefit bracelets, but there are very few of them and they are not as dramatic as we would like. They cannot help Jawbone maintain its leadership position in the smart bracelet market. And this despite the fact that the company is essentially a pioneer on it.

Purchasing a Jawbone UP24 only makes sense if you plan to use it in conjunction with one of the third party applications, and also because of the truly amazing product database.

Pros:

Time battery life
+ Pedometer
+ Advanced alarm clock
+ Application
+ Waterproof
+ Simple controls
+ Product database

Minuses:

Old design
— No information display
— Problems with synchronization
- iPhone support only
— Not very reliable fixation on the hand

It may seem like a very simple bracelet that has limited purposeful functions (like some sports gadgets). In fact, the Jawbone UP24 is worth the attention of both professional athletes and people who simply decided to change their lifestyle and start taking care of their health. This assistant will help you monitor your physical condition throughout the day; it has interesting features and is very easy to use. Well, first things first.

Appearance of the UP24 bracelet

The new version of the bracelet has only two color options – black and orange. The body remained the same moderately wide, and on its surface the creators of the gadget left the same signature wave, making it even a little softer than in earlier models. The bracelet itself consists of hypoallergenic rubber, therefore, it is very practical to wear: it is not afraid of shocks and is waterproof. On the other hand, you shouldn’t get too carried away with checking the bracelet for resistance to moisture, and, during exercise in the pool, it’s better to remove the bracelet

The most important thing when purchasing the Jawbone UP24 is to ensure a good fit on your wrist, so you should always pay attention to the wrist gauge on the box. The bracelet is light, almost weightless, so it will not interfere with training or sleep, but it must be worn constantly.

What is inside?

In the new version of the bracelet, communication with your smartphone occurs using wireless communication, so contact and data transfer takes place in automatic mode. If we compare it with previous versions of the bracelet, where activity data was transmitted using a plug that had to be connected to the bracelet and a smartphone, then this implementation has a huge number of advantages. Yes, the bracelet still has a plug, but it is needed solely for charging (via a USB cable).

How does it work?

The Jawbone UP24 acts as a transmitter for all collected information, which is uploaded to the UP application. Here you need to pay attention to the fact that before purchasing a tracker it is always better to check the compatibility of your smartphone with UP24. The bracelet operates in two modes - sleep and wakefulness (displayed on the screen as the moon and sun), which are switched with one button. Each mode switch is accompanied by a slight vibration of the bracelet. To check the current operating mode of the tracker, you need to briefly press the button (a long press will switch the current mode).

To get started, you need to synchronize and register in the application. This requires data on a person’s weight, height, gender and age, so that the application can subsequently work in accordance with the current analysis of averages. First, UP24 must see the person's goals, which it will constantly monitor. If you set your desired physical activity at 10 thousand steps per day, the tracker will definitely remind you of the need to move if you are, for example, sitting for a long time.

Each workout will be recorded with a bracelet if you determine the type of upcoming activity before starting it. After finishing the exercise, the bracelet will show you how effective it was and how many calories were burned. Jawbone UP24, by analyzing the entered indicators, will be able to calculate the recommended loads, choose the time for the most beneficial sleep, it will remind you of the need to take vitamins and medicine on time. The UP program has many functions: you can enter data about your diet and it will display the calorie content of dishes and their benefits for your health. In addition, the bracelet monitors sleep phases to calculate the best moments to wake up.


The main thing is the features of Jawbone UP24

Your UP 24 has the unique ability to monitor your mood. How you rested at night, how deep and healthy your sleep was when you woke up - your physical and emotional state throughout the day depends on this. UP 24 will monitor the changing phases of your sleep and will wake you up only in the light sleep phase, so that the process of waking up is very easy and fast. Even a short nap during the day will be doubly useful: press the bracelet button before going to bed, wait for vibration and the appearance of the moon, so that your assistant will wake you up at the right time. JawboneUP 24 works for seven days without recharging.

Thus, sports bracelet more than justifies the title of the most popular tracker. It is also the best at reading information about rest and sleep. We can say that this bracelet is perfect for people who want to achieve a healthy lifestyle without making difficult changes to established stereotypes. It will be a great gift and support in your quest to be healthy.

You no longer need a personal trainer and there is no need to study a large amount of fitness literature and nutrition literature. The bracelet will become your guide to the world of health. It has long been proven that a healthy mind lives in a healthy body. And the success of all other human affairs depends on the health of the spirit. The bracelet will become your constant companion in all matters. You will notice how your lifestyle changes, and it will change because you want it. You will become clear which activities in life are superfluous and unnecessary, and which ones strengthen your body and self-confidence.

The number 24 in the name means that you will not want to part with it even for a minute.

I wore the Jawbone UP24 fitness tracker band for a week to track my exercise and eating throughout the day and my sleep quality while I slept. The UP24 is a flexible band that wraps around your wrist and is more new version Original Jawbone UP: It automatically connects to your iPhone or iPad for automatic syncing, which is a must-have feature for a fitness tracker if you don't like connecting things together multiple times a day. But the improvement comes with a $20 increase in cost, which the UP24 does one of the more expensive trackers on the market - $149. [ Top groups fitness trackers] While the UP24, like all fitness trackers, certainly has room for improvement, some of its features were certainly among the best compared to other fitness trackers I've seen in this seemingly exploding product category. Here's a look at how it performs in several categories. Overall rating: 6/10 The advantages of the Jawbone UP24 over other fitness trackers are that it provides useful data on several aspects of your daily life, it is easy to use, and you can scan product barcodes. Depending on your style, you may find the UP24 among the trendiest other tracker wristwatches. For those who like to check their information without access to their phone, the UP24 not having a screen will be one of its drawbacks. Additionally, frequent swimmers and people who live or work near water may want to look for a water-resistant tracker like the Misfit Shine. Design/Comfort: 4/10 The Jawbone UP24 was a winner for me in terms of how it felt and looked. This was the most comfortable bracelet I've tried, and I've tried a lot. It was easy to put on and take off, and so light that I could barely feel it on my wrist. The UP24 is a nice accessory to wear on any occasion - it's not a bulky rubber band that will only fit your running shoes. I found its sleek design stylish, and the textured rubber band and snakelike fold looked sophisticated. The UP24 comes in black and orange and three sizes, and I think it fits better with other accessories you might wear on your wrist compared to larger trackers like the Basis B1 or even the Fitbit Force. [Photos of Jawbone UP24] The app had an attractive design. The colors were nice and the data was presented in a clear manner. However, the app only works with iOS devices. One major downside to the device is that while some water on it wouldn't damage it and you can wear it while showering, it is not completely waterproof. This means you cannot use it while swimming. It's also probably not a tracker you want to take to the beach next summer. User friendliness: 7/10 I found learning to use the UP24 quite simple and easy. The first time you use the app, it will walk you through simple instructions and ask you basic questions about yourself. The bracelet itself only has one button on one of its ends, with which you can put the device into day or night mode. The UP24 has Bluetooth capability and automatically connects and syncs with the app, which is a big improvement over the original UP. But unlike some other trackers - like the Nike Fuelband and the Basis tracker - the UP24 doesn't include a screen, meaning you need to open the app on your phone whenever you want to check your activity. But once you have the app, that's where the most important information is. You can see how many steps you have taken and how far you are towards your goal to accomplish today. With one tap, you can enter more detailed sections and see how many calories you burned, or how long you were inactive. In the same way, with one click on home page, you can go to the food section and sign up for the meal you just had. Cost of information: 6/10 UP24 monitors your physical activity during the day and provides an estimate of your sleep steps at night. The application has a lot of functionality. In addition to tracking daily activities, you can set alerts to remind you to get up from your desk, and you can even report whether you're feeling just "meh" today or if you're completely wiped out. You can log the food you ate and the app will calculate your calorie intake. The app also allows you to scan food barcodes to enter nutritional information. You can also see how many calories you burned just by moving - your body's basal output. The device is also designed to record how much sleep you get each night, how many times you wake up, and how much of your sleep was spent in "deep" and "light" sleep. But like all other personal sleep trackers available on the market, your sleep patterns are interpreted from your movements while you sleep, which may not reflect the exact quality and quantity of your sleep.

Jawbone UP24 is a fitness bracelet, a so-called smart bracelet, that tracks physical activity, sleep and caloric intake of its owner.

The package includes a bracelet and a short USB charging cable to a 2.5mm jack.

The design of the bracelet is simple and laconic. The gadget is made of plastic, namely hypoallergenic thermoplastic polyurethane, and has one button on the end. The inner surface of the bracelet is smooth, and the outer surface has a ribbed structure. It bends easily, but this should not be abused. The bracelet is available in four colors (black, orange, pink, light green) and three sizes (S, L, M), which allows everyone to choose the best option.

Jawbone UP24 has a non-removable battery, which after charging for 1 hour and 20 minutes allows the bracelet to work continuously for seven days. The gadget supports the following mobile devices: iPhone 4s, iPod touch 5th generation, iPad 3rd generation, iPad mini, as well as their later models.

Significant advantage Jawbone UP24 wirelessly synchronizes with a smartphone via Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy protocol. To use all the functions of the bracelet, you need to download it to your smartphone mobile app, thereby creating a certain system. As soon as you launch the application, data exchange from the bracelet to the smartphone will occur automatically.

The bracelet is protected against splashes of water, but it is not recommended to take a shower, bath, or swim with it.

Jawbone UP24 is designed for people who want to lead an active lifestyle and want to increase its comfort.

Smart bracelet equipped with a stopwatch and accelerometer. It constantly monitors the activity time, sleep and nutrition of its carrier.

The bracelet is supplied smart alarm clock. You set the wake-up time and the ringing range (for example, 20 minutes), and the bracelet detects the light phase of sleep in the set range and wakes you up with quiet vibration. As a result, you wake up easily in a good mood and feel invigorated and rested. If you are in a deep sleep in the morning, you can duplicate the alarm clock, thereby expanding the range of awakening.

Jawbone UP24 offers its users the following features:

  1. The system offers you a choice, depending on your age and other characteristics, of the daily goal that must be achieved in one day. Goals are divided into two categories - activity and sleep. You can choose the number of steps you need to walk, or how much you need to ride a bike or other activity, depending on your capabilities and desires. You choose the amount of time to sleep and, if desired, allocate daytime sleep.
  2. The application supports you on the path to achieving your chosen goal. So, at any time you will be provided with information about how much you have already done to achieve your goal and at the same time motivational tips. You can set the reminders you need. For example: the time of training, taking water, food, medicine, or the need to stand and walk during sedentary work.
  3. Before going to bed, you need to press the button on the bracelet, thereby notifying the system that you are sleeping. If you forget to do this, the application, analyzing the state of the body, will help the bracelet switch to sleep mode on its own.
  4. The app allows you to log your activity and view your results on your smartphone in the form of charts over different time periods. You can analyze the number of steps taken, workouts, food consumed, hours of sleep and its quality (deep and light sleep phases).
  5. If you have a competitive spirit, then you can involve your friends. Then the main feed displays all your activity and the activity of your friends. If you do not want to share such information, then you can put a “lock” on your movements.

Thus, Jawbone UP24 will bring to your daily life game element. A light vibration will remind you of your chosen goal to walk a certain number of steps and help you take a break from the computer monitor for a short walk, even in the office. The same light vibration will remind you that it’s time to eat, drink water, or take medications. You will be able to plan and most importantly stick to your daily routine without keeping all sorts of diaries. Analyzing your results will help you see and eliminate problem areas and motivate you to do more.


Your life will become more comfortable with Jawbone UP24. But you need to be aware that such a gadget cannot run for you in the morning, it will only remind you that it is time for a run.

Jawbone UP24 will become your reliable assistant on the path to good physical shape and will be an unobtrusive companion for maintaining it. Unlike fitness bracelets from other manufacturers, Jawbone UP24 does not have a screen and looks like an attractive accessory that fits with clothes of different styles.

    8. Traffic regulation

    8.7.3. Traffic light signals have the following meanings:

    A signal in the form of an arrow that allows a left turn also allows a U-turn if it is not prohibited by road signs.

    A signal in the form of a green arrow(s) in the additional section(s), switched on together with the green traffic light signal, informs the driver that he has priority in the direction(s) of movement indicated by the arrow(s) over vehicles moving from other directions;

    f) a red signal, including a flashing one, or two red flashing signals prohibit movement.

    A signal in the form of a green arrow(s) in the additional section(s), together with a yellow or red traffic light signal, informs the driver that movement is permitted in the indicated direction, subject to the unhindered passage of vehicles moving from other directions.

    A green arrow on a sign installed at the level of a red traffic light with a vertical arrangement of signals allows movement in the indicated direction when the red traffic light is on from the rightmost lane (or the leftmost lane on one-way roads), subject to the provision of priority in traffic to its other participants moving from other directions to a traffic light signal allowing movement;

    16 Driving through intersections

    16.9. While driving in the direction of the arrow turned on in the additional section simultaneously with a yellow or red traffic light, the driver must give way to vehicles moving from other directions.

    When driving in the direction of the green arrow on the table installed at the level of the red traffic light with vertical signals, the driver must take the extreme right (left) lane and give way to vehicles and pedestrians moving from other directions.
