So I returned my Body Media and purchased the Up Jawbone about a week ago to my surprise the Up Jawbone gives me about 300 calories less than the Body Media. Body Media use to give me a 24 hour burn around 2600 Up Jawbone is usually between 2200 and 2300. Does anyone here have a Up Jawbone and how do you like it?

    I wanted a bracelet style so it was between nike fuel and the up. I decided to go with the Up.

    I felt that the calorie burn on boymedia was way to high

    I always use my Polar 7 HRM for my workouts and the calorie burn on the bodymedia was always very high compared to the HRM.

    I also experimented wearing the bodymedia and the HRM for 3 days without taking them off the difference was about 400 calories between the bodymedia and the HRM.
