I'm currently waiting for the 4th replacement of my UP24. The UP app is great (I prefer it over fitbit's), but the hardware is awful and the support pretty bad. So I think I'll pass on that one :)

@gregoiregilbert Oh, tell me more. I was the user of the first gen UP. Haven't touched UP in years now. Quite excited about UP3, really hope it can deliver on its promises.

@gregoiregilbert Guess you got unlucky (or I got lucky), because my UP24 works great. Don't use it a ton, but never had any problems with the hardware or software.

@marckohlbrugge hey Marc! Maybe, but considering Jawbone's forum I'm not the only one. I use it a lot, wear it all the time (well when I have a working band).

@gregoiregilbert Can you get it replaced? Mine broke after less than 2 months of use and I haven't figured out what to do. The sad thing is that I don't really miss it that much. Sleep and step tracking was cool, but if it's going to break every 2-3 months, it's not worth the hassle...

@gregoiregilbert I've found the support was always pretty good in my experience, but I've had to replace 3 original UPs and 1 UP24 so far, so yeah I'm not impressed with the hardware.

@borker yes, I had it replaced 4 times.

@marckohlbrugge @gregoiregilbert What do you mean you don't use it a lot? Shouldn't you use it daily?

@gregoiregilbert I went through 2 Jawbone UP and I am on my 4th UP24. This is a bit ridiculous..
