I have been contemplating the idea of getting a Jawbone Up bracelet for awhile now. I actually heard about them several months ago and always thought it was kinda interesting. Then last week at work, one of the editors was raving about how the edit team is obsessed with the bracelets. Then this past weekend while I was reading the September issue of Vogue, there was a whole article devoted to bracelets similar to the Jawbone Up bracelet.
Part of the reason why I am so intrigued by them is because I tend to walk a lot in the city and I am always curious how far exactly I do walk since I consider that to be my exercise. Also, I tend to be a pretty bad sleeper so I am very curious to how much REM sleep I actually get. The reason why I like the Jawbone Up bracelet the best is because it's waterproof (opposed to the Nike one highlighted in the Vogue article). It retails for $130, which I will admit is a bit steep for a bracelet that measure exercise and sleep. Maybe it can be a birthday present since my birthday is coming up.
Has anyone tried them out before? Is it worth it?
