Jawbone has announced it new smart band, the UP3. It comes packed with a host of new sensors including –

1) Bioimpedance sensors which enables the UP3 can use a slight electrical current to obtain lots of data on your body from your heart rate to when you wake up. The sensors monitor Heart rate,Respiration,
Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), Skin temperature and Ambient Temperature.

2) A tri-axis accelerometer which lets the device intelligently guess and graph when you’re doing things like running, playing tennis, or hiking

3) The previous UP bands tracked sleep and noted how much of your sleep was light sleep vs deep sleep. By combining the aforementioned bio/accelerometer sensors, the UP3 can now graph how much of your night was spent not just in deep sleep but in full-blown REM.

4) The UP3 is water resistance up to 10 meters. Made from Anodized Aluminum, TiN coated Stainless Steel, and TPU.

5) Jawbone UP3 battery life is 7 days per charge. Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Polymer, 38 mAh Battery
Charge time approximately 100 minutes via magnetic USB charging cable.Bluetooth® 4.0 BTLE.

6) Price starting from $180 or £149.99 and available later this year. Black at launch and other colours in 2015.

I have to say, if this band does what it says on the tin, this is something I would love to use.
