I’ve been very impressed with the news coming this week from Jawbone. Today they doubled the battery life of my UP24 from 7 days to 14 days with a firmware update and yesterday announced they will open up their platform to work with numerous additional devices, including Android Wear devices.
“Later this month we are launching a new UP app that allows anyone with a compatible smartphone, Android Wear device, Pebble smartwatch, or any wearable connected to the Health app for iOS 8 – such as the Apple Watch – to instantly join the UP community. In addition to making UP more widely available, we will also release an open device-connectivity framework for the new app, enabling device manufacturers to build products that communicate directly with the UP system via an open Bluetooth Smart® or WiFi protocol.”
