You should probably hound customer support, but also understand that this is an unusual question so it might take them some time to get an answer for you. I would assume that it uses a combination of the motion sensor and possibly skin temperature to figure out if you are sleeping, because when I lay perfectly still it doesn't log me as sleeping but lying down. I'm guessing that no (or very little) movement + lower skin temperature (our temperature drops when we fall asleep) is what the device uses to gauge sleep vs lying down. But like I said totally a guess bud.

Only if you wear the breast strap, which would be rather uncomfortable. I have the Basis now, which does that, but is not very good at measuring calorie consumption during activity. In any case, calorie count during sleep is rather uninteresting - the Basis shows I burned some 500 cal between midnight and 6:30 am and I would bet that this is within 10% of what it shows any other day, even after a hard workout when the actual consumption is higher.If you look for calorie count, I'd go with a Polar for workout and a Fitbit or similar with MyfitnessPal for the rest.

It tracks three types of activity, walking, running and cycling. And sleep, if you consider that an activity. (I was 82% motionless while sleeping last night, which I consider 18% active. Hey, it all counts!) I don't know of any plans to add more activities later, and I don't know whether if has an altimeter.

Hi Mike, we don't currently have that feature but we get a lot of requests for it and we're definitely aware that it would fit well with our Advanced Sleep Analysis. Thanks!

Nope. The BodyBugg armband will not sync with a GoWearFit display; nor will a GoWearFit armband sync with a BodyBugg display. I have a set of each and they can only sync with themselves. Also, BodyBugg will not sync with the software of GoWearFit, which is too bad since it's far superior than the Apex software. That said, get a set that works and you'll benefit from the motivation and data collection that these armbands/displays provide!!

It does not track or calculate metabolism. It does how evever track. Steps take, calories burned, distance walked. I use it in conjunction with an app caller argus this gives me the best results over the stands life track fit. I do however recommend you spend the extra $20.00 or $30.00 fort the 410 model which tracks your sleep and does a better job at tracking movement.

It tracks an "estimated" amount I think based on your height/ weight, and adds to this number based on your steps. So, yes, it records calories burned even while you sleep.

Not really sure how accurate but did catch movement when on bike, placed on shoe string. However, now I use a fitbit. Got it for Christmas and like the heart beat reading .. Good luck to you !

I never owned an UP... I have an UP24 and it tracks paces, activity, food and sleep quite well. I suggest you look for a comparison on Google such as http://fitness-trackers.findthebest.com/compare/3-29/Jawbone-UP-vs-Jawbone-Up24 This comparison has one error given the latest software update. The battery life on the UP24 is about 14 days now...

This watch has an extant sensor that you wear around your chest. However, it is very comfortable and I have enjoyed this product for a long time. Best fitness investment I've ever made.

Sorry I washed this one. I now use the fitbit One and really like it except it is inaccurate for my stairs climbed. I need to call them about that.

I bought the fitbit. With its help motivating me, I also joined Loseit.com. They kept me mindful as I tracked my movement and my sleep. By mid October, I had released 17 lbs. Then, by the end of January, 35 lbs. Now I'm at the weight I want to be and I still wear my fitbit 24/7 and come to my computer every morning to see how I slept. Fitbit and Amazon have been wonderful to deal with.Oh, I track my walks with Endomondo which syncs with my GPS on my iPhone. I'm a gadget junkie.

It tracks how many steps you have taken, how many miles you have walked, and calories burned in one day. It can also track your sleep patterns. You receive a weekly activity report via email. I just love it and it encourages me to walk more because I hate to get my average for the week down.

I have tested it against the Withings Pulse O2 and the app Sleep Cycle and my conclusion is that it is rather poor in recording sleep. I have encountered several issues. The the fitbit App is minimal, you'll see a few thin lines to indicate that you were in light sleep or awake. There is no further detail as fitbit wants you to subscribe for more indepth analysis. And more than once the tracker does not really seem to record anything (once or twice per week). So overall I am rather disappointed about this beautifully shaped gadget.

has anyone thought about ordering the go wear display? It definitely comes on a wristband, and it is the same price. The website says they are compatible, but i was wondering if anyone had any info on that. Thanks!

Yes, the Beddit sleep tracker is great for tracking sleep cycles. I feel like it is very accurate and I like that it tracks REM, heart beat rate, snoring, when I have awaken during the night, how long it takes to sleep, etc. I wish that this device would give improvement tips specific to my sleep pattern versus what is currently offered which is generic sleep tips.

If you mean like the new bracelets in the market that record your sleeping patterns, no it won't. If you mean will it read your bpm while you sleep, yes, most likely while running an app.
