two new Jawbone bracelets approaching

[ad_1]

The Jawbone UP24 has been on the market for over a year. Its design and functionality made it the best smart health connected bracelet available, but competition is intensifying and the arrival of smartwatches is a bad omen for smart health connected bracelets. The solution ? Two new activity sensors: a low cost and one with a cardiac sensor.

The sources of several American media intersect and we should see announced in the coming days two new models at Jawbone. The first, called Jawbone MOVE follow the current market trend, falling prices, and will sell for around $ 50. It is interesting to note that Misfit uses the same strategy with the upcoming release of Misfit Flash. This price reduction is great news for people who want to Review the quantified self without breaking the bank!

The second model should be baptized Jawbone UP3 and should board a whole bunch of new sensors, including one for measuring heart rate. The bracelet would also thinner than the current one. Its price should turn around $ 180. The UP and UP24 should remain available, certainly at a lower price than today.

The arrival of a heart rate sensor is a direct response to Fitbit, which has just announced its 3 new wristband models (Surge, Charge and Charge HR). The leader has to worry about, because Jawbone has always been better than Fitbit on one of the key characteristics of smart health connected wristbands, design.

Will these novelties be sufficient to counter the gradual arrival of smart health connected watches on the market? Nothing is less certain, but in any case, thehe smart health connected bracelets are one step ahead on one point: autonomy!

The release of these two new models should take place in the coming days (maybe tomorrow), perfect for Christmas gifts!
