Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just received my Upright Go2. I ordered the Upright Go2 with the "UPRIGHT GO | Smart Wearable Posture Trainer, Adhesive Replacement Pack, 10 Count" ($99 + $10), using a single button the Upright Go2 page. So, a few things: - the adhesives included in the Adhesive replacement pack are NOT the same kind that came with the Upright Go2. - adhesives arrived first, in giant plastic envelope (what a waste). Why do I need the adhesives first? And why not ship it with the device itself? And why ship the old adhesives when I am purchasing the new Go2 device??? First impressions: there is excessive packaging on the Upright Go2, like Russian nesting dolls. There is a lot of paper packaging, without clear directions on how to use it. I mean: after Apple has already created the blue-print on how to mass-produce fairy sophisticated electronics with minimal packaging and very little instructions, I don't see the need for a lot of papers and packaging (with little useful info). In the main device package, there are 10 adhesives, and 6 alcohol pads. In the replacement (which, once again, is for Upright Go1), there are 10 adhesives and 10 alcohol pads. Description for usage "Use the alcohol pads to clean the the adhesives and / or your skin before use"? WTF? And/ or? Should I be cleaning the adhesive, or my skin? And if both, I need 2 pads. And 10 adhesives x 2 pads = 20. But you are sending me 6? Then they have this guitar pick-like thing which is called, "Adhesive removal tool". Here is the description: "Use it to peel off your old adhesive when replacing it with a new one". So I need to scrape my skin to remove this thing? Really???? OK, so I need to use the guitar pick to remove the adhesive. Now, a question arises: how often do I need to remove the adhesive? In the "About the adhesives" section it says, "With proper maintenance, each adhesive can be used about 3-10 times, depending on your skin type". Wow, so I re-use the same adhesive 10 times? And each time, I need to scrape off my skin using the guitar pick? And then put the icky thing back again on my back. 9 more times? Seriously? Or do I have to keep the adhesive on for 9 more sessions? Either way seems poor hygiene. I mean, do you know how much research you need to determine if 3-10 wears might cause either an allergic reaction, or bacterial infection? They also say, "Make sure your skin is <b>clean and dry</b> before using the GO 2. Use the provided alcohol pads to clean skin. So, I use each adhesive 3-10 times, and for a total of 10 adhesives, I need to have 30 to 100 alcohol swabs, but you are only sending me 6 to get started. Got cha. Now, I have not even gotten to the skin type. Let's say, hypothetically, I have bad skin. Like my skin is not clear like a mirror (like I have bumps, or whatever), and let's just say I have some hair. What do I do? Do I need a Brazilian wax before I can use Upright Go? Should I visit the local Immediate / Urgent care center after each time I poke my skin with the guitar pick to remove the adhesive? Well, in my view, and reasonable product, when it arrives to you and is ready to be used is worth exactly 3 stars (average). Depending on one's experience with it, it may go up or down to anywhere between 1 and 5 stars. As it stands, the best thing about Upright Go is that it can climb up from an absolute hole of 1 stars. So that is the best thing about Upright go right now. I promise to update my review as I find more (positive) aspects of this device. The good news is: there is zero chance that my star rating is going down. After a couple of days of usage, this is what I notice: - the tracker is highly sensitive to the placement location. Place a bit high, close to the hair-line, and it things you are slouching like all the time. Place lower, and it's statistics completely change, - also, as I use the tracker, I get this annoying alerts in the app, where it appears like someone is making suggestions. In reality, these are canned answers that are given to you on an unsolicited basis. Very annoying.
