I bought the original jawbone for my partner. She loved it but 1-2 months later it stopped charging. Took it back to the Apple Store in Sydney and they replaced it with a new one.

A month later I had to go to the store again for the same reason. Apple Store staff said they were seeing a lot of returns like that.

Third band died just as quickly but we didn't bother. Downtime moved the product out of the "habit zone".

There was also a techcrunch article about their terrible quality [1]

With so many chronic issues I'm surprised this company is still in business. Haven't they been acquired by Fitbit or something?

Edit: that was non-wireless version, but I think it was called 2nd gen
