The greatest challenge, and the greatest value proposition for UP3, is the new sensor technology embedded into the flexible strap. UP3 can measure advanced movement and sleep patterns, and with the addition of a bio-impedance sensor that can detect heart rate, and many other signals, the possibilities are huge.
The original UP has the narrowest form factor on the wrist of any device on the market, enabling maximum wrist movement, making it the most comfortable wearable available. With UP3, we explored 100’s of internal component and sensor layouts, resulting in different widths and lengths of the band. These hundreds of prototypes, often differing by as little as .3mm, were judged for comfort, size impression, and proportions before we selected the optimal ergonomics for a variety of wrist sizes. The vision was to build a powerful, multi-sensor device in a robust casing that is small and comfortable enough to be worn 24/7.
