Does anyone use the UP3 and if so, how do you like it?
Thanks!

    Nope, it ships 12/22. I'll be doing a review once I get mine, and I know of at least 4 others who ordered it.

    Sure it does. Conveniently becomes available for order a couple weeks before Christmas shopping season and super Conveniently will be shipping on the last possible day to get items delivered by Christmas.

    Yeeeeeah, expect to get a DELAYED announcement on Dec 23rd. Or perhaps they'll do the trick where they ship them with MFP level bugs and then try to fix it with a software update the day you get it and another couple over the next couple months.

    If that product was truly ready for shipping they'd have it paid every retailer to have them stacked on end caps near the checkout aisles already.

    I'm actually interested in the product since it seems to be the true successor to the BMF, but I'll wait a couple months and see how it goes.

    I don't know. I am curious as to how it will compare to my Bodymedia. I am not happy with Jawbone and the release of the Up3 has been bungled, so it remains to be seen.

    I've been a bit pissy with jawbone for essentially killing off bodymedia since the acquisition and never letting the bmf2 see the light of day. But recently I've decided that my anger is misplaced. Bodymedia is the one that mismanaged their marketing do terribly that the had the best device and a huge head start in the market and squandered it till they were so broke that the company could be had for a handful of magic beans. They blew it and now they're dead.

    I'm not real excited about the prospect of wearing this Up3 thing on my wrist but was I really excited to wear an armband at first? I am excited about not having to take it off for swimming and Tough Mudders and such. So I'll get one. After I confirm that it didn't ship as buggy crapware tho

    I agree with everything on this post... I fear they are worrying more about the aesthetics of the device instead of the accuracy.

    I got a call from Jawbone a couple of days ago offering me the $40 off or free Move due to their delay and subsequent communication snafu. I expressed strongly how disappointed I am in their service, took the $40, and will update as soon as I (finally) get my Up3 (early 2015, they said, which could mean anything.)

    same story here. I opted for the move thingie on a clip, and it arrived today. No instructions came with it except something to tell you to get the app. In the Playstore there are two different up apps so I'm not sure which one to get.
