Goodbye Jawbone Up3, it's been great!



Yes, it's a fond but sad farewell to my Jawbone Up3. The tracker works great but the company has decided to get out of the fitness business. This means no more new trackers and no more support for our existing trackers or customer service. The website has closed the online version of their app but you're able to login and download your data via csv file format (please download your historical data asap). As of today the iOS app still works. Yay! I'm hanging on out of sentiment. 😍 I sync my Health data to my Jawbone app and have shelved my band.

Due to the loss, I had to search for another tracker and I danced around the Apple Watch and Fitbit trackers. Although, I really want the Apple Watch Series 3, I settled on the Fitbit Charge 2 because of the sleep tracking feature (Apple Watch does not have a dedicated sleep app or function.) Lately, I've been thinking about that Apple Watch 3 and the Fitbit Iconic 😉 but I'll stick with the Charge 2 because of it actually meets my needs. I'll post a review of the Fitbit Charge 2 soon.

Back to Jawbone, I'm really going to miss the sleep tracking feature, heart rate, steps and exercise tracking, the insights, recipes, food tracking, friends and the partner app integration. It's been great and the trackers (Up, Up2 and Up3) were awesome. Thanks Jawbone for a wonderful product and I'm so sorry that you had to go. All the best in your future endeavors.
