Best AnswerIt isn't totally waterproof but it is water resistant. You can shower, do the dishes, wear it in the rain, etc without worrying about it but I wouldn't swim with it.
This is what I have heard online.- Answered by Zachary F from Lubbock

Best Answer
The jawbone UP is water resistant, not water proof. It is not recommended that you take your wristband swimming. However, it is designed to resist everyday water exposure such as the shower, washing the dishes and rain.

AnswerThe Up is always on unless it dies. But yes every night before you go to bed you have to make sure to put it in sleep mode. You can do this using the silver square on one of the sides on the Up.

AnswerI have the rich blue and my friend has the sky blue/mint green band. It can pick up some grime, but it doesn't stain. I always wipe it down with a baby wipe or something similar and it comes up like new :)

Does it work when I need to leave my phone behind?
I can't always bring my phone with me and often times must turn it off (example: when flying.) Will the band continue collecting data until I turn my phone back on?
- Asked by Amy L from Fayetteville

- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerYes, the band collects data independent from being connected to your iPhone. However, you need to use the app to view the steps/sleep tracked.

Where is the app for Jawbone, for the wristband that monitors your sleep? My search couldn't come with it.
It is advertised in Oprah's Magazine on page 48, this month's issue. Please help. I have sleep apnea and I really want to try this out.
Thank you,

Does this track calories burned in gym activities?
Just wondering if you can use this to track calories burned in a fitness class for example.
- Asked by Jennifer M from Brampton

- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerYes you can. You can press the button twice quickly to indicate it's recording a workout.
From Jawbone's FAQ's:
Will it work if I cycle, do yoga, or other non-step-based workouts?
The UP app allows you to log the duration and effort level of a variety of different workout types, so you get credit and estimated caloric burn for non-step-based activities. Additionally, the UP band has a Stopwatch mode that lets you "tag" the start and end of your activity Once you've synced your band, you can enter the details of your workout.- Answered by Janelle G from Regina

Best AnswerIf you can make it into the store, the top of the box that the band comes in has a hard plastic sleeve with a cut-out you can fit your wrist into. The cut-out simulates the size of the band.
