Verdict

The Jawbone Up Move is a compact, entry-level fitness tracker featuring a 27.64mm circular design made of anodized aluminum and medical-grade TPU rubber. It tracks steps, distance, calories, and sleep cycles using a tri-axis accelerometer, with goal progress displayed via a hidden 12-LED interface. Its primary advantages are a long-lasting, replaceable CR2032 coin cell battery providing up to six months of life, a versatile form factor that can be clipped to clothing or worn on a wrist strap, and integration with the highly-regarded UP mobile app. However, it lacks a vibration motor for silent alarms or idle alerts, is only splash-resistant rather than waterproof, and requires manual activation to enter sleep mode.
