Just to inform, the fitibit won’t find the best time to wake you up. Its wakening you, when you have asked it to!

You definitely want to avoid the Jawbone UP. Mine is all of two months old and completely dead. Jawbone customer support has “an unusually high number of requests” but will get back to me within two days.

Their warranty says they might replace it “with a new or remanufactured product” but they had no problem taking my money for a new product.

Fitbit CS rep told me in an email that the alarm only works with a pre-set time, and does NOT use its “sleep tracking abilities to automatically figure out what the best time to vibrate is, based on how fresh you’ll be feeling at any point.” I’m hoping this article and not the rep is right, but…

works with third-party apps like endomondo? bluetooth? and it has an android app as well! im suddenly losing interest in jawbones up and their annoying waiting game

i like the look of the up better than this… but i think this one would be more useful if you can take it apart and just put the tracker in your pocket.
or even wrap it around your ankle.. im not sure if it would still work like that but it would be nice to be able to have it some place other than your wrist, depends where you are, some places youd be just asking to get mugged flashing one of those things around :D
