For the first several days I had it set to 45 minutes, and then a few days ago I set it to 30 minutes.

You can set the activity alarm for just about any length of time you like, so long as it’s a 15-minute interval. And sure enough, about 45 minutes later the Jawbone vibrates slightly as a reminder that I’ve been inactive for 45 minutes and it’s time to get up and move around. I sit down at my desk and begin going through my emails. Now that I have the UP on, it’s time to act as if I’m not wearing it, and just go to work.

It is not uncomfortable to wear, but because the exterior is rubber it is certainly more grippy than a watch. Once I’ve synced the UP with the iPhone app I put it on. I also am able to establish what time in the morning I want the Jawbone to wake me, and the longest interval of time I am okay being inactive. The iPhone app initially feels clever and was easy to get set up with my height and weight. The UP only syncs to an iPhone app, and does so by plugging it in using a headphone jack. They only had black available, which was fine by me because that’s the color I prefer. I speed over and am able to buy a medium-size UP. I ask him about the UP and he knows exactly what I’m talking but, alas, they do not have any in stock.īy this time the Apple store I was at the day before is open again and so I call them and, LUCK! they have them. When it does I walk inside and find an employee working in the Computer Electronics section. I head over the the local Best Buy and wait for it to open at 10:00 am. Not a single Target store had the Jawbone UP in stock, and only a few AT&T stores had them but only smalls or larges. I walk back to my car and begin to call every Target and AT&T store in the Kansas City area. I am there by 9:00 am but still no dice, they received no new shipment. Some of the Target employees we spoke with suggested we try back on Monday morning because most shipments come in at 8:00 AM on Mondays and are in stock by 9:00.Īt 8:40 AM on Monday, November 7 I head over to Target again. Nobody has any in stock, and most people didn’t even know what we were talking bout. We leave the AT&T store and begin calling some local area Target stores. I needed a medium which was the only size they did not have. He has some display samples out and so I try on a real one and sure enough, it’s very snug and I know it would be uncomfortable to wear. Using the plastic size ring that is attached to each case I try on the small but, surprisingly to me, it seems as if it is too small. It turns out they have two left - a small and a large. Holding my left wrist in my right hand, I raise my arms up to eye level and I tell him I’m looking for the new Jawbone UP. About 10 minutes later an AT&T sales guy calls my name. They make me sign in at a kiosk and wait my turn to be helped. We find and drive to the closest corporate AT&T store, and LUCK! they have some. They do not have any in stock nor do they know if or when any will arrive. They do not have any in stock, but at least know what we’re talking about.Īfter Apple I call Best Buy. Next we go to the Leawood Apple retail store. I tell the lady that they are supposed to be on sale at AT&T stores, and she lets me know that it’s probably only at the corporate stores not the satellite retail stores like her’s. We went to a nearby AT&T store, and when I ask them about the UP they didn’t even know what I was talking about. Apparently the store had put the UPs out on Saturday and only had a few in stock, and they sold quickly. It was only noon but Target was already sold out of the Jawbone (plenty of milk though). And so on Sunday my wife and I go to Target we needed milk and the Jawbone UP. It was reported they would be selling at Target, Apple Retail, AT&T Stores, and Best Buy. The Jawbone UP came out on Sunday, November 6.
