Upright GO 2 Premium | Smart Posture Trainer & Tracker for Women & Men with App

I am not getting any benefit or purchase discount for this review and this is simply my unbiased opinion based on my experience. Think of this device as a smart level. When you are leaning forward, the device detects you as off level and alerts you with a vibration. If you are needing feedback in keeping your back straight (upright), when either sitting, standing, walking or any other upright activity, then this device is for you. However, this device like others similar devices, has some limitations. Understanding those limitations are key in getting the most out of the device: 1) This device can't detect if shoulders are rolled forward on it's own. It can only detect the angle of your back. However, poor shoulder posture usually accompanies forward lean or hunch. And even thought it's possible to have poor shoulder posture when your back is upright (which this device cannot differentiate), in practicality it will alert you when you are hunched over. And this is typically is caused from BOTH forward leaning and hunched shoulders. The key point here is to remember to keep good should posture (shoulder blades slightly squeezed together) while correcting your back when the device indicates poor posture. Knowing this limitation and shoulder posture awareness will go a long way to establishing a good posture habit. 2) Fortunately, the device can be fined tuned for a a variation of posture ranges. This boils down to how the device is calibrated. If it is too sensitive to just the slightest hunch, calibrate it with a slight hunch and that will be the new reference. If you want it to alert you within a tighter range, do the calibration with your back more upright and shoulders pulled back. I find using a full length mirror is critical in observing your back and shoulder position while calibrating the device. Then test it with the device delay set to 5 sec. Check the range of motion and determine if you are satisfied with the results. If not, re-calibrate it. Otherwise you will be frustrated with the way it alerts. Ultimately, it's up to you, what you consider the threshold for bad posture and calibrate it accordingly. 3) Again, this device acts like a smart 'vertical' level. It does not work at all if you are in a recliner or laying down. So if you have bad posture while in a recline position or sleeping, your out of luck. It's not reasonable to expect a simple device like this one to help you in all situations. But you should know what good posture feels like after wearing the device for some time and adjust your sleep position accordingly. It would preferable if such a device could detects poor shoulder posture along with sleep posture, but no wearable device currently exists and even if it did, it would be a far more complex and expensive. I still find the device very effective even with these limitations. 4) I never used the sticky tape and instead use the necklace. I don't understand all the complaints about the necklace and I suspect it has more to do with improper calibration than the necklace itself. Its easy to wear, easy to access and turn on and off the device, less fuss, and less expensive in the long run compared to buying more tape. It's the way to go, period. If you are frustrated with the tape, before you blame the device save yourself the trouble and get the necklace. IMHO, this posture device will create a better posture habit if you understand the limitations along with setting it up correctly to match your expectations. I do not rely on the app much other than calibration and delay settings, so can't comment on the other functions of the app. At the end of the day, all I care about #1 is correcting my posture habit. IF it does that, I consider this a positive purchase. Everything else secondary like tracking data is useless to me.

I was really excited to get this item and start improving my back health and posture right away. First thing you realize out of the box, is it comes with a USB-C to USB-C charging cable. Who uses this? Their company may find it a brilliant idea to use a charging cable that is not a major industry standard, but I do not. Between Apple and Samsung, they have 54% of market share of mobile phones. That means 54% of all chargers or Apple and Samsung as well. What is it they provide again? Emailed Martin at Upright, and he was no help at all. He sent me a link to where I can get this charger on Amazon, but it will take more than 2 weeks to get it because nobody uses this stupid connector. So, I'm already frustrated because this item only has a 10% charge in it, so I probably can't use it even for a full day. Next my girlfriend and I go through the steps to get it set up and going. We shave a little area of my back, clean it, and then re-clean the area with the alcohol wipe that they provided. Stick it on, get it calibrated and go for a walk. I'm pretty excited about this because I'm doing well and not getting buzzed for bad posture at all. I go to feel for it, and realize the crappy glue pads suck and the item fell off somewhere during my walk. I went back and found it and it had fallen off within the first five minutes of my walk. I'm lucky I found it of that would have been $80 out the window through no fault of my own. Also the Upright GO-2 just feels cheap and crappy. Made to break I would say. So far, I say 2 thumbs down way down.

I'm hesitant to write this review since I've only been using it for a month now, but I think there is more than enough improvement to do so. I want to mention that this may sound like a glowing review. It is in no way sponsored. Just my experience, and I am very happy with it. TLDR: It very much worked for me. This review is longer than I wanted but I think has useful info. It is broken up into how it affected me, and then the device itself at the bottom. --------- Effect: I've had neck issues for many years now. Part of it is a C3 neck issue and part is from being on the computer a vast majority of my day. It feels like a clamp was attached to my traps. My doctor says they are muscle spasms. I knew my posture was off both standing and sitting. I have tried many solutions such as a chiropractor, TENS, door traction, the foam neck wraps, and even the neck immobilizers. The latter works well, but is constricting for daily use and can weaken muscles. I can say that after a month of use, this has seriously improved my posture and alleviated the huge amount of my pain. I am honestly surprised. I notice that I am now sitting in an upright position rather than a bit of a slouch. I want to mention that this does not detect slouching backwards in a chair. However, since I'm more conscious about my posture, I find myself correcting that too. The bonus is that you can lean back in a chair without it incorrectly going off. After the first week of use, my neck started feeling a little sore as if I had worked out slightly. This was different from my normal neck pain. Then my upper back started feeling like that. Then my neck again. I am 90% sure this was because I was getting back into the correct position and putting more load on the muscles that should have been used. As of right now, a huge amount of my pain is gone. I am so much more aware of when I get into a bad position. Since my neck pain is no longer taking so much of my concentration, I find I am working on my other pains such as extending my arm too much when using the mouse. There are times when I am very tired and I realize I am leaning forward, and the device alerts me. Sometimes I will think that I'm fine to not wear it. But most of the time I think better of it and wear it. Then I am surprised that it notifies me that I am indeed out of alignment. Now I'm better about wearing it consistently. All of that to say, I am actually surprised how well it works and would recommend it. --------- Device: The device itself is small and lightweight. I often don't even realize I'm wearing it. I have the necklace that attaches to it instead of using the adhesive because I was removing it so often and the adhesive doesn't work well with sweat. The case does have a nice raised bump surface, so when putting device in the case, it will extend the life of the adhesive sticker for reuse. The adhesive is easy to pull off and feels like the same type of gel sticker that TENS pads use. The review for the necklace will be on that that product's page. I really don't even notice it is there because it fits between my shoulder blades and it is flat and gradually rounded. I notice less now that I'm not rounding my shoulders. It comes with an app that is easy to use. It shows the settings of the device and a circle indicating the posture it is detecting. It also has other useful items like tips and stretches. When the user is out of position, it will give a small two pulse vibration and then wait a little bit and do it again. The app has the option to set how long it waits to notify the user they are out of position. I've kept it on a 15 second delay. The battery life has been about the 60 hour claim that they make. What I do not like is that it has a light on it that is blinks on and off every couple of seconds, even when wearing it. My concern is that the blinking will show through my shirt. However, a workaround is to put something opaque like electrical tape over the light. When I put it on, I do often have to calibrate it, which makes sense. Possible Improvements: The vibrations can be a little confusing when turning it on, but not a big deal. For instance, when turning on it is a short vibration. However, that feels like the same vibration as when the notification is disable. Enabling the notification is a longer vibration. So when I turn it on, I press it, feel the vibration, press again to see if I feel the long vibration. If not, press it again. Not a huge deal, but something that should be improved. I mention this because there have been several times that I disabled the notification and wondered why I hadn't felt anything in a while.

This review should help you. I was skeptical too. The device DOES work and it will help you adjust your posture, train your back and also strengthen your core muscles. The app gives you many settings so you can select your vibration, its strength, length, etc. The one problem are these adhesives. And yes, they do only last 3 days (one adhesive). I solved that. Once the adhesive loses its grip, I added some double-side tape on it and it worked perfectly - for many more days. Once that was also used up, you add another strip of double-side tape. And it will go for months. I found it works best if the tape is put on top of the used up adhesive, not straight on the device. Overall, I do advise this product, it actually does help.

Excelente producto... No tenía idea de cuan encorbada me pongo... Me ayuda mucho a corregir esto, gracias 😊

Love it, the app is pretty good. Can adjust vibration patterns and how strong. Can calibrate the legal I can start with. I’m pretty amazed so far. The case seem a bit loose and shabby but not bad for holding the device while charging or when I don’t use it

ممتاز

Si es de gran ayuda para corregir la postura, claro que tú tienes que poner de tu parte, pero el que te recuerde que estas chueco si te ayuda a corregir.
