Jawbone UP, Take 2

Just over a year ago the Jawbone UP™ made its appearance. Set to revolutionize how we track our health and fitness, it was a somewhat stylish looking bracelet device. The concept: wear it 24/7 and it tracks everything and syncs with your smartphone. Workouts, sleep and daily activity were all noted. You could even set it to gently wake you up. Unfortunately – a few weeks after release a recall was issued and refunds offered. Faulty construction lead to water getting into the circuit board. Bye bye capacitors. They also found that cracks could appear in the board over time. No bueno.
