Introduction: UP Smart Bracelet is an electronic smart bracelet launched by Jawbone Company, and two generations of products have been launched so far. UP smart bracelet has the function of tracking exercise, sleep and diet. By tracking and counting the data of mobile phones, it is presented to users intuitively in the form of charts. In addition to these three basic functions, the simple design style of the UP smart bracelet can also play a decorative role in jewelry.
▲ Transparent plastic packaging box
The outer packaging of the UP smart bracelet is made of transparent plastic packaging box, so you can see the real body of the UP smart bracelet without unpacking. If you buy licensed goods, the box is printed with both Chinese and English voices. The picture above is parallel packaging, so there is only English on the box. The licensed packaging and the back are affixed with the public agency representation and anti-counterfeiting labels of Beijing Langwan Technology Development Co., Ltd., and those without anti-counterfeiting labels must be parallel imports. This label is also the only proof of my warranty. Please take care of this box.
▲Z-shaped simple design
The UP smart bracelet has a simple design style, which is the same as the classic Z-shaped design of Jawbone's previous products. After all, the bracelet is a product to wear with you. If the appearance is ugly, no matter how comprehensive the function is, we don't want to carry it with us.
The UP smart bracelet has no display screen. At first glance, it looks a bit like a Nike sports wristband worn in high school. Enhanced version? . The UP smart bracelet does not use a dead ring buckle, but uses a cross movable buckle design. Although the bracelet is equipped with different sizes of S M L, the design of the movable buckle can solve the small change of body fat and thin. If it feels big, pinch it a little.
▲ Not equipped with LCD screen.
Although there is no LCD screen, there is a multi-function button at the end of the bracelet. Different instruction operations can be realized by different combinations of operation modes. This multifunctional button is also the only button on the bracelet. Touch the multifunction key to wake up the indicator next to the key. The sun woke up and the moon slept, simple and clear.
▲NIKE+ FuelBand
Although there is no LCD, this simple design is also very easy to use. However, compared with the Fu of NIKE+ FuelBand, a row of LED lights is a bit awkward, at least it can be used as an electronic watch. What kind of appearance you choose depends on yourself. After all, radish and kimchi have their own tastes. (Click to view details of NIKE+ FuelBand)
At the other end of the UP smart bracelet, the word Jawbone is engraved on the appearance, and a 3.5mm earphone plug can be seen by pulling off the hat. This plug can be used to synchronize data with the mobile phone, update the new ring firmware and charge the UP smart bracelet. In addition, you need to take good care of this hat, especially when synchronizing data. If you lose it, you can only buy it at Taobao Flower 30 yuan.
▲ The hat needs to be properly kept.
The UP smart bracelet is also equipped with a data cable and a manual warranty card. The data cable comes with it, but it is not equipped with a charging plug, so we can use the charging plug of the mobile phone. This data cable of the UP smart bracelet also has the function of bracelet firmware. We can download the firmware through official website and link the computer to the updated version of the bracelet.
▲ It is recommended to read the instructions carefully.
UP smart bracelet has been on the market for some time. Why do we publish this article today? The main reason is the slow delivery of licensed goods purchased by the author in Chinese mainland. I have tried to cancel the order many times, but considering that I like this bracelet very much, I have never had the heart to do it.
▲Apple Store supports staging.
On May 7th, the author placed an order in Apple Online Store to buy a black L code. Because at that time 12 installment payment was free of interest and handling fee, I didn't pay much attention to the official delivery in 2-4 weeks. In the fourth week, I received an official email from Apple, mainly saying that due to supply problems, it is necessary to postpone delivery for up to 2 weeks. After a long wait, I finally received my UP smart bracelet on July 5th. The benefits of official website's purchase can be guaranteed. The disadvantage is that the delivery time is too long. According to the grapevine, the national version of the UP bracelet has been discontinued. As for the reason, you know. (Click to enter Apple Store)
▲ Taobao 600 yuan
At present, the bulk price of Taobao parallel imports is around 600 yuan, and some merchants say that the bulk warranty period in the United States is 1 month, all of which are original gray lines. Bracelets, like mobile phones, naturally do not support warranty in Chinese mainland. If you want the warranty, you must fly to America for the warranty. But considering that parallel imports are only half the price of licensed goods, it's up to you to buy licensed parallel imports. (Click to enter Taobao)
In addition, the warranty of Bank of China also needs to keep the packaging box with the dealer label, which is the only proof of the warranty. Yes, the electronic invoice provided by Apple Online Store is invalid, and the distributor only recognizes the product packaging box. This kind of warranty is a bit like the warranty of headphones, and the author is also very dissatisfied.
▲ Choice in numbers
In terms of size, the UP smart bracelet is equipped with three size options. L (large = 7.0-8.0 inches/18.0-20.0 cm). If the control of 150kg is provided, it is recommended to choose m (medium = 6.0-7.0 inch/15.5- 18.0cm). If the weight is less than 120kg, it is recommended to choose S (small = 5.5-6.0 inches/14.0- 15.5cm). If you buy the Bank of China version, you can only choose large and small.
Perhaps we can see the effect of the author's wearing through the above picture. My height is 173 cm and my weight is about 180 kg, so I decided to choose L. The picture on the right shows the effect of users with the same height but thin weight wearing L code. Fortunately, the bracelet is not designed with a dead key. If it feels big, pinch it a little.
▲ Choice of color
UP smart bracelets are available in black, dark blue, light green, white, red and other colors. After the personal experience of friends around me, the light color will turn yellow after a period of time, so I bought a well-behaved black. If you are diligent in maintenance, it is not impossible to buy lively colors.
Since the body has no display screen, the UP smart bracelet cannot be used independently, and the corresponding APP client needs to be downloaded by the mobile phone. At present, the UP smart bracelet already supports both iOS and Android platforms. We can download the official APP by searching in the corresponding software market. Apple devices support terminal devices above iPhone3GS, iOS5. 1+ or higher. Support Android 4.0 or above Android mid-range devices.
▲APP initial interface
When the software and hardware are ready, start debugging the UP smart bracelet.
1. Press the button of the UP smart bracelet, observe the indicator light of the bracelet and blink.
2. Remove the handle cap of the UP smart bracelet, insert the UP bracelet into the mobile phone, and display that the bracelet is unlocked.
3. Register your name and other personal information.
▲APP main interface
After some settings, we came to the main interface of the APP. Here we can show the progress of our daily exercise goals and sleep goals. Click to view the detailed data. Generally speaking, the histogram display with percentage words is very intuitive, and the state of the day can be seen at a glance. We can slide the screen into the UP source interface, where we can see the daily progress of team friends, which is a bit like WeChat friends circle.
▲ List of main functions
We can click the button on the left side of the screen to enter the personal information bar. Here we can view personal lifelines, trends, inferences, notifications, settings and other options. Click the button with the plus sign on the right side of the screen to set daily goals, free time and other reminders. The Chinese APP is simple and clear, so I won't introduce it here.
It's time to take it seriously. Because we only look at the data of a smart bracelet, we can't judge whether it is accurate or not. So here we chose Jawbone UP and Fitbit for a 48-hour endurance test. It remains to be seen whether Jawbone UP can accurately record our body movements.
▲ first day of sleep (left Ftibit, right UP)
UP smart bracelet can record six functions of light sleep, deep sleep, sleep time, bedtime, wake-up time and wake-up times in sleep mode. Among them, we control the number of times we fall asleep, but we can't control shallow/deep sleep. Jawbone UP can be recorded and displayed through charts, which is very intuitive. Although I can't control it, I can understand our present situation, and I personally like this function.
▲ Exercise amount on the first day
I'm a little confused about the amount of exercise on the first day, because the data of Fitbit and Jawbone UP are completely different. Fitbit shows that 684 1 step has been taken, and Jawbone UP has taken 7227 steps, with a difference of 386 steps. But looking back, we went to the teahouse three times at the station, about 300 steps. So I think the data recorded by the two bracelets are quite reliable.
▲ Go to bed the next day.
The next night 10: 40, I lay in bed and got up at 5: 50 in the morning. Both bracelets can record my sleep time all night. I didn't fall asleep immediately, but played with my mobile phone for a while before falling asleep. Interestingly, UP recorded my amount of exercise and showed it as awake. On the other hand, Fitbit is a pure dead record. When it switches to sleep, it begins to sleep. ....
▲ The amount of exercise the next day.
The two are fairly accurate, and the difference between Jawbone UP's 697 1 and Fitbit's 6886 is only 85 steps. Jawbone UP also has a comprehensive function, which can record our activity time, total calories consumed, longest activity time, calories consumed during activity, longest idle time and amount consumed during rest. It's also a column chart, simple and clear.
▲ Manually upload food.
Can you record energy consumption and then energy intake? UP smart bracelet provides the function of eating record. We can upload our food intake today by manual input or taking photos. UP will also automatically record the food uploaded by our photos for future use. Of course, we can also share today's food with friends in this way, which is a necessary condition for young people to pay for meals.
In addition to basic statistics, the UP smart bracelet has many interesting functions. For example, smart alarm clock, idle reminder, friends circle and even wireless communication with many apps. The small bracelet has so many functions that I began to think that the bracelet I bought 1 100 was worth some money. PS: Please comfort yourself.
▲ Manual sleep mode
Many friends will think, what should I do if I forget to switch sleep modes before going to bed? What if I run away? The UP smart bracelet also has a manual input function. For example, if you forget to switch the sleep mode before going to bed, you can click the sleep record the next day and manually enter the sleep situation of the previous night. The disadvantage of manual input is that it can only record sleep time, but can't record bedtime, sleep time, times of getting up or even deep sleep time. It seems that you want to develop a switch before going to bed? Good habit? Yes
▲ Smart sleep alarm clock
Another interesting function of the UP smart bracelet is the smart alarm clock, which is also a function that Bian Xiao likes very much. The so-called smart alarm clock of UP bracelet is mainly because it can wake us up intelligently. An ordinary alarm clock will ring suddenly when the time is up, which will make us feel very tired. The intelligent reminder function of the UP bracelet can detect our sleep quality. If we are in a light sleep state, the bracelet will wake us up in advance. When we are in deep sleep, the UP smart bracelet will let us sleep for a while and wake us up by vibration at a specified time.
▲ Idle tips
The small function of idle prompt is also very useful. As we all know, working in an office for a long time will cause spinal strain, mainly because of sedentary. Users can set UP the up smart bracelet to check that the user has no exercise data for a certain period of time, and it will vibrate to remind you that it is time to exercise. Do you think it is very practical? If you didn't read the manual, you probably overlooked this function.
▲ nap
After lunch on weekdays, we usually choose to lie on the sofa and rest. At this time, we can use the nap function of the UP smart bracelet. We need to link the bracelet with the mobile phone and set it up. We can set the nap time and the maximum sleep time. Nap time refers to the actual sleep time, excluding waking sleep time. The longest sleep time refers to the total sleep time, including waking time and nap time. Besides, don't set it for too long, or the boss will wake up.
▲UP source
The UP source of the main interface of the UP smart bracelet is somewhat similar to the circle of friends of WeChat, except that only sports data and friends' objects will be shared here. Today, you can show off your own 1000-meter run, and you can also see the recent exercise of your friends here. UP smart bracelet friends are displayed in the form of a team, where we can exchange PK with friends. Shape the friends around you into team comrades and lose weight together!
▲ expand the APP.
UP is not only a software for recording data, but also recommended applications such as MyFitnessPal, IFTTT, RunKeeper, MapMyFitness, GymPact, Lose It, etc. There are softwares for yoga, running, weight lifting and even weight recording. Through these applications, we can make professional statistics on a certain item, which makes UP for UP's unprofessional statistics on special data. Of course, UP has also reached in-depth cooperation with these softwares, and we can share special data into the UP source code through the UP account.
▲ Suggestions for use
At present, some users' UP smart bracelets have been damaged. There are problems with the overseas version and the Bank of China version of the UP smart bracelet. Some netizens said that if the UP smart bracelet is always plugged into the USB interface of the computer, it will not be damaged, and charging through the adapter may cause problems.
However, we also saw the charging tips on Yi Xun. The website sells authorized smart bracelets. The prompt shows that the charging time of UP2 bracelet should not be too long (about 1 hour, just 80 minutes), and it is better to charge it every 5-6 days and synchronize it 1-2 times a day, but it is not good when it is used up. The prompt also shows that it is recommended to use a notebook to charge, because the current and voltage are relatively low, and do not use a USB interface with poor quality or unstable current and voltage to charge.
On the whole, the UP smart bracelet is still relatively comprehensive. For example, smart alarm clock, I was deeply impressed. Since I used the smart sleep alarm clock, I really don't feel so tired in the morning and don't want to get up. In terms of purchase, if you are rich or poor in Gao Shuai, you will definitely choose licensed products. If you are a little short of money, it is recommended to choose boxed parallel imports. Buy: Taobao
App Store
In addition, if you are a little interested in this bracelet, it is not particularly big, then don't buy it. Because, many friends around me have broken UP their UP smart bracelets. At present, there are rumors on the Internet that UP2 also has product defects, which are very easy to be damaged.
