Jawbone to Unveil Fitness Tracker to Monitor Health

The going on IFA 2015 event brings mid-lifecycle update by Jawbone range of wrist-worn fitness trackers. Just after the disappointment faced by the company's earlier launch as, Up3, it has decided to launch a firmware upgrade to furnish the versatility feature in the upcoming device. The drawbacks are needed to be covered up for the sake of the business perspectives.

The device Up3 faced a lot of challenges with annoyance that the device only took your resting heart rate when you woke up. The single rating and recording device is never been a success in the tech world. The newer technology has promised to upgrade it to a multi-factor scheme with multi-tasking possible worldwide, making it useful for the daily record keeping and regular tracking. With this massive upgrade, the Up3 and Up4(the upgraded version and mobile payment variant of Up3), will now take the heart rate on daily basis.

The device will see how your heart is holding up every 20 minutes or so and then will monitor the records. The battery life is massive to hold the device on a multi-tasking platform. In addition to all this, the upgraded Up2 or Up3/4 now rocks the feature that senses the sleep mode directly. You need not to monitor the control button manually to shut the device or to ask the device to enter and leave sleep-tracking mode. The only thing you need to do is, to tap the cap to dismiss alarm clock and inactivity alerts.

The mistakes with the uncomfortable straps are also recovered with the rope-style design rather than the full band strap on the wrist. The most suited color variants of Up3 are also available in Sand Twist (beige) and Teal color. The new bands are available to pre-order on the online store of Jawbone, with Up3 priced at $180 and Up2 with new light weighted strap is priced at $100.
