I don't remember exactly when, but many moons ago, I got a #Jawbone UP #FitnessTracker on clearance at Target, for $25 (MSRP $99, I think).
The UP was revolutionary, for its time. In many ways, it still hasn't been bettered. Although the UP lasted a few years, through several versions (UP24, UP3) Jawbone—the most popular name in #WearableTech—still went bankrupt, and support evaporated.
I no longer trust such devices, because of what the industry has become. #privacy
