It’s about time wristbands had some real life functionality instead of just looking pretty and weighing us down. Jawbone must agree with me, as they’ve been prepping their app crazy Up wristband and readying it for mass consumption.
The Up is a health conscious affair. The wristband is packed with apps that monitor your vitals, give you nutrition facts and keeps tabs on your sleep schedule. In short, it’s a handy dandy health monitor in a  super small package. It’s so light you’ll barely know it’s there.
Jawbone is readying the ‘bands for a release later in the year. The company has not released any word on pricing, however.
