Hi All

Looking for opinions. I did have a Jawbone Up (original) thought it was decent value for money and did the job, but it broke within a year so now I'm looking again a few years down the line and can see they've been improved and the Jawbone UP3 is out. But again ive seen some poor reviews, so I'm asking is there any alternative around the same price that does the job better and is more robust?

Looking for the sleep monitoring, step/activity monitoring, heart rate monitoring and general food/diet tracker (if possible)

Oh and this device will need to be usuable with an ipad rather than a smart phone.

Any experiences/recommendations welcome

Thanks in advance

I thought Jawbone was going out of business? So may not be best idea if they stop supporting devices.

Fitbit is the mostly widely used alternative. Specially if you don't want a 'smart watch'.

I rate the Garmin devices very well too.

Jawbone have indeed gone out of the wearable business (I'm still waiting on a refund for both of my UP2 units that broke last year, they keep saying it's coming...)

Agree with your suggestions of Fitbit and Garmin. I now have a Garmin Vivosmart 3 and find it very good and a reasonable price too.
