Upright GO 2 Premium | Posture Corrector Trainer & Tracker for Women & Men with Smart 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 love this! I did have a bit of trouble getting it to charge the first time I tried but emailed customer service who promptly emailed me back with a solution and no problems since then. It's very helpful to remind me to correct my posture, the battery charge lasts for several days. i have only used the sticky patches but find them comfortable, stay in place securely and are reusable! When I take the device off I simply place a small piece of cellophane paper on it to keep it clean and when I am ready to reapply it stays on just as easily as it first did and lasts for a long time! I have it for a couple of weeks now and still using the first patch. It doesn't leave any sticky residue on my skin either! I already feeling a difference in my posture. My biggest obstacle is when I am sitting doing paperwork or needlework I find maintaining a good posture is difficult but I am working on it! May orders the necklace in the future but right now am happy with how I am using it. By the way I turn it off when I go to bed and it stays on throughout the night!

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.

My impression is that this is a simple device that checks how vertical you are positioned. It does not seem to be sensing the curvature of my back. The case: Case is cheaply made, the hing is not a tight fit. It can only hold 1 extra adhesive. The Adhesives: If you fall for it, that’s how they will milk you off your cash. Classic subscription model. If you enjoy the adhesive I would suggest finding alternative source that is cheaper and simply cut them out of a bigger sheet. The neckless: an alternative to the adhesive, but I’m surprised that they opted to use the USB plug as an attachment point. Privacy: The App is nice but maybe selling your sensitive personal info, additionally they may use your info to “ To assess your candidacy for a position that you applied to and to facilitate your employment application;” … just straight up weird thing to write in a privacy policy. I will update the review if it starts falling off during daily activity like some have complained.

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

This is a great gadget to remind you to sit or stand up straight. Very simple to use. You get a vibration when you slouch which you can set from a tiny vibration to a fairly big one. You can also adjust settings for how much you slouch and how long for. One sticker lasts for weeks on me. I do have the necklace too which is better, but I only use it if I am wearing something where it doesn't show.
