Amazon is offering the Jawbone UP fitness tracker for $99.99 with free shipping. That’s $30 below retail, and the best deal we have ever seen for a new UP by $5. More colors/sizes available from Best Buy. Received an overall rating of 3 stars from over 1,700 reviewers. Compatible with iOS and Android mobile operating systems.
The UP wristband plugs into your phone via the Simple Sync connector to help you learn how you sleep, move and eat. UP provides unique insights to help you live each day better than the last.

If you do end up buying a Fitbit be sure to grab it from Best Buy because you can save an additional $30 when purchased with an Aria WiFi scale. Or if you just want the scale pick it up from Amazon at 10% off.
