The shine quickly rubbed off the original UP, but all signs point to Jawbone having learned its lesson. The new hardware feels sturdier than before, and the more stringent tolerances mean we now have no qualms about wearing UP in the shower or pool. M...

The wearability factor on this is huge. The Yves Behar-designed band looks fantastic, and more to the point works well as an accessory. The big problem with fitness monitors has been nailing a form factor that's truly go-anywhere. If you have to take some...
