Upright GO 2 Lighter, Smaller Posture Corrector | Strapless, Discrete, Easy to Use Trainer with 30 Hours Battery Life | 1-Touch Sync App and Training Plan | Build Confidence | URF01W-EU

I have ALWAYS had rubbish posture - I have various theories as to why, which I won't go in to now, but I am well aware that I need to do something about it. I think I am ok when exercising, as I tune in to my body, but when I am sitting at my desk I quickly start slouching, a lot, and I don't even notice.It is well known that poor posture can cause all sorts of problems, ranging from muscle and nerve pain, impaired lung function, poor digestion and permanent damage to the skeletal system. Being in my mid-40s I know that if I don't address it I am in for big problems in my later life.I have tried various things over the years to correct it without much success, and then a couple of years ago a new device entered the market.... The Upright Go. It's a little device that you stick to your back and it tells you when you are slouching. Now, anyone who knows me knows I LOVE my gadgets, so it immediately caught my eye. But it wasn't cheap, and I was dubious about whether it would be any good as it was too new for it to have many reviews. It also seemed quite big and not that user friendly. So I decided not to buy it.Then at the beginning of this year I found they had released the Upright Go2, which according to their website is 50% smaller and lighter than the original. It also has:30 hours of battery life per charge1-touch sync with the UPRIGHT AppReal-time posture feedback and trackingGentle vibration reminders and muscle memory trainingLong-term habit promotion for a balanced bodyEasy touch adhesive keeps device in place securelyIt had also come down a bit in price, so I decided, what was I waiting for....took the plunge and bought it.It has a training mode, which builds up gradually and gives you real time alerts to help you stay in tune to your body's position, and then a tracking mode where you just try to remember but you can set 'long slouch' alerts. It's still early days for me as I am un-training a bad habit of a lifetime, so I get far better results when in the training mode than the tracking, but I can say with absolute certainty that it's the best thing I have ever bought to help with my posture and I highly recommend it. My physiotherapist was very interested and impressed when I told him about it and I was surprised that it is not well known, given how effective it is, so I feel a sense of duty to spread the word!

Seems to work quite well so far. Supporting app is well designed.Docked a star for the over-priced accessories and the limitations of what it actually defends against. Most glaring omission is it only detects tilting one way, so somebody slouching backwards in chair won't be reminded.

I am writing this review after more than one month since I purchased the product. This is the BEST posture corrector by far as I have used other products but nothing can compare with this. I was in doubt if this was worth it but after the first day I knew for sure that is totally worth it. It feels like they reinvented the wheel, no kidding.Reasons of why this product is worth it:1. is small and you can 100% wear it all day2. is not hurting you like other posture correctors (they used to hurt me under arms after a day of using - total crap)3. the battery last few days which is more than enough4. the app that connects with the device is clean and intuitive5. the adhesive that some people are concerned, is very good. An adhesive sticker I used it for 3-5 days but as they say it matters of your skin type. And to be honest it doesn't really matters anymore as they just released a Neckless for this device so you can have that one instead6. You will get used with having the product in your back and will help you create the habit to stay straightAs a conclusion, is definitely worth it and you should buy it and thanks me later for the feedback.KUDOS Upright Go for creating a product that improves my life!

Day One.Reminding me to keep my posture good. I'm impressed, this could be an excellent gadget.Day Two.Hmmm, why is it not reminding me? Oh, it;'s not there any more. It's fallen off and I've no idea where its gone. £70 gone in an instant.The potential of this device is excellent. Sadly the stickers that are supposed to last 3-5 days don't and because of this I made an expensive mistake purchasing this

At first I was very happy with this product. It gamifies posture control, counting the minutes you are upright, sets goals and shows you trends over the day and week. Great. But then there was a software update a week after, and it stopped collecting my data properly, and randomly turn off. When reached out to support, they told me it was an update bug and to wait for new update...but after a few weeks still no improvement. I think mine might be a faulty product. That's why I have to give this product 3 stars, as it was disappointing software.

This works just how I want it to! You put it on, then sit/stand upright up to calibrate it. You can then set the sensitivity you need, and change it easily. The buzz strength is configurable too.The only grumble is the occasional Bluetooth connection dropping (perhaps three times in a month of use) which might mean you have to turn it off and on again.It sticks to your back with self adhesive pads that are replaceable. They offer free delivery of replacements in the US, not sure how much the delivery cost will be to the UK! Excluding postage, the replacement pads are 10 for $10. They claim they will give 3-10 days of stick (depending on skin greasiness I suppose).It comes with 10 pads.My top tip is that you can extend the life of the pads. Once it is not sticky enough, carefully use soap and water on your finger to wash the pad and then again with just water (being careful as the device itself might not be waterproof) to remove whatever is struck to it (fluff, grease) and let it dry before putting away.My second tip is to wipe your skin before putting the device on, using a cleansing fluid (like you might use to reduce spots or perhaps make up remover?) so that the patch of skin is super clean.I only use it week days (4 or 5 days per week), but I'm still on my first pad with no problems after 4 weeks.
