Jawbone is back, this time with a new successor to the UP24, the UP3.
The new wearable is bold and different, new slimmer design and much more advanced. the UP3 features a host of different textured, colorful designs and seems to be more fashion oriented than the rest of its competitors.
Fashionable isn’t everything in the UP3, the new fitness tracker packs a combination of new sensors that can uses skin and ambient temperature instead of the typical optical heart rate sensors available on other fitness trackers. The Up3 can also detect respiration and hydration rate.
Jawbone is calling this new measurement system “bioimpedance”. The bioimpedance sensors run a microcurrent across the wearer’s skin to detect and measure heart rate, stress and respiration. The UP3 also has 2 LED indicators that indicate inactivity or when a new activity is started.
