caro: noraleah: mascarah: Holiday wishlist. The Jawbone UP. It tracks your eats, sleeps and runs and has a super amaze app that ties it all together. Huge fan of all. Nice! The WakeMate was a big fat bust. I tracked my sleep obsessively for three whole nights before it stopped working. It took me more than two months to get a replacement — and it doesn’t work. At all. For the past week I’ve been trying to get a response out of them so I can return it and get my freakin’ money back. And this is a product that’s supposed to reduce stress. I saw one of these in action a few days ago and was very impressed.  I use a Fitbit Ultra but I’m not married to it, except for when it tells me that I just climbed Godzilla. I went to go purchase one of these as a gift yesterday, but the forums stopped me to think twice. It sounds like there are lots of hardware and other issues; stories of 5 of 8 UPs bricking within days, etc. And as disconcerting, response from the company in the forums was sparse at best. Nobody seems to care.  Any reports to the contrary, I’d love to hear.

    I can’t believe how many of these products are out there now. I’ve used the Sleep Cycle app on my iPhone and liked it.
