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.

Bought this for myself as a Christmas present after a colleague told me that someone new where we work hunched over when he talked, "just like you do." <Grimace> I've been using it everyday since Christmas 2025, and I have to tell you this really does work. It can be shocking to discover how often you slouch or relax your posture enough that you're no longer in good form. I bought the necklace attachment which is super easy to use. I never once used those little sticky pads; it settles into place with the necklace just fine. Most people don't know I even have it on: I mentioned it to a different colleague today and she was surprised, because she has seen me every day and has never noticed it. I showed her how it worked with the app and she was really interested and impressed. Anyway, I can tell that I am far more conscious now of my posture, even when I'm not wearing it. Like others, I set it to 15 seconds before it gives me that slight little vibration on my back. And when I get that vibration, it is very effective -- I correct my posture immediately. Charging is quick and easy. The only downside is that it seems to drop the signal pretty easily. Every time I open the app, it has to search and search for the device. Sometimes it doesn't find it, sometimes it takes a while. Sometimes I have to reach back and gently press the button on the device so that it sends a signal to the app. Small little frustration, but still... Anyway, I highly recommend this thing if you really are serious about improving your posture. It doesn't do it for you, but it reminds you very effectively to do so yourself. Not sure how long I will need to use it in order for my posture to naturally be better throughout the day, but it's very helpful right now.

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.

I am impressed with the device and its ability to subtely remind the user to maintain good posture. The calibration is simple to do and you can position the device on your back to best mointor your cause of bad posture. I play around with positioning the unit to my needs and it does a good job buzzing me when my posture is poor. It is a very good reminder system. The functionality of the device deserves five stars. I gave it three stars though given the chariging issues. It comes with a special USB-C to USB-C cable as a regular USB-C cable does not to work. Also, it can only accept a low voltage charge. Supposively it will charge from a computer port, but not on my computer and not with any of the USB-C charging adapters I have. I read online that people had success charging using a USB-A to USB-C cable. So, I dug through my desk and fortunately found one, and it does slowly charge the device.

I absolutely love this product. The Upright GO2 is actually my second one, and it's still awesome - I'll explain my journey with the product below. I have ALWAYS had bad posture. Both of my parents have poor posture, so some is probably genetic and some is probably learned (it took a long time for me to not slouch around people shorter than me for example). I bought my first Upright Go in around 2018 (I could be a little off on the timing). I loved it. I did have to sometimes recalibrate it when switching between sitting and standing at my desk, but it was super easy to do that. My posture significantly improved from wearing it. In late 2019 I broke my back, and therefore didn't need the Upright GO anymore. I couldn't sit comfortably for quite awhile, and had a hard back brace, plus was told to avoid leaning forward. Basically, if you REALLY want to improve your posture quickly, wear a hard back brace, and be told if you lean forward or slouch you could end up needing surgery :) I must have given away the Upright GO - I don't remember exactly what I did with it, but I know I decided I didn't need it. Well, fast forward 5 years, add a baby and years of work from home, and my posture had regressed quite a bit. In fact, I have severe TMJ dysfunction likely as a result of my posture. I've spent the last year working with an upper cervical-specializing chiropractor, a TMJ-specializing dentist, doing tons of yoga and bodywork, lots of rounds of botox in my masseter and other jaw-connecting muscles, etc. Then recently I thought - what about that thing I used to wear on my back that helped my posture so much?? I ordered the Upright GO2 last week, started wearing it a few days ago, and already feel so much better! My core and back muscles are SORE - but that's a good thing. I know that my issue with posture is that the front of my body is too tight, and the back of my body is weak, plus my core needs work. Being constantly reminded to stay straight is working the weak muscles and forcing me to stretch the tight ones. I'm SO happy. Here's my list of suggestions for new users: 1. Focus on CORRECT posture - use your core to lift your rib cage and lengthen your spine, and relax your shoulders down and back. The old 'pull your shoulders back' is just wrong - it's not at all about pulling, it's about finding the right position and relaxing. 2. Stretch! The muscles that have been holding you in bad posture are tight. You'll know where those are when you start to correct your posture. For me it's my pecs, my biceps, and the front of my neck. It's important to stretch throughout the day to help alleviate the tightness. 3. This is one tool in your toolkit. I do think that this is an AMAZING tool. if you can't afford regular chiropractic care, but you can pull together enough for this tool, you can still have significant improvement. That said, if you can afford a chiropractor and/or bodywork, do that too. They are very complementary. 4. Be consistent. It's hard to be consistent, but it's important, and worth it in the end. Wow- I've never written so much about a product... I guess that says something. Hopefully this is obvious, but I've been in no way incentivized to write this - I'm just a fan. I hope to update this review at some point with even more progress, especially with my TMJ pain.

I’ve been using the Upright GO 2 for over two years now, and overall, it has helped my posture significantly. It is a very effective tool for building back awareness, but there are a few critical issues long-term users should be aware of. The Good: After 2+ years of consistent use, the core device is still working perfectly. The battery has held up impressively well, and the vibration reminders are just as effective as they were on day one. It is a durable piece of tech that actually delivers results if you stay committed. The Issues: Data/App Syncing: Periodically, the app fails to detect my progress for the day. It’s as if the device "loses its memory," and all the tracking data for that entire session is wiped. This is very frustrating when you’re trying to maintain a consistent streak or monitor long-term improvement. Necklace Hardware (Corrosion): My biggest concern is with the necklace accessory. I’ve noticed a green liquid leaking from the magnet housing, accompanied by a strong "rust" smell. It appears the seal isn't sweat-proof or moisture-proof, leading to internal corrosion. I have to remove and clean the magnets frequently, and I am concerned about this chemical byproduct causing skin irritation or long-term damage. Bottom Line: I still value the device because the core technology works and lasts, but I’ve dropped my rating due to the unreliable data syncing and the hardware failure of the necklace. If you buy this, be very careful with the necklace accessory and ensure your app syncs frequently throughout the day.

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.

Realistic working mans review -- I'm 6'2" and have had a slouch for many years because everything in life is about 2" too low to reach comfortably with good posture. I've tried the posture correcting shoulder strap brace things and they work to remind you for about 30 minutes and then you forget they're there and slouch through them until 4 hours pass and they start to be highly uncomfortable. I am an active outdoorsman and handyman/contractor for a living so I was hesitant to try this GO that appeared to be designed for a desk jockey. I finally figured the high price (IMHO) was worth a shot. In short, it IS designed for a desk worker and has its limitations, but, it has still helped correct my posture better than any other method I've tried. Yes, it can be annoying sometimes when you're doing a task that involves frequent bending over or working under a truck or checking fittings under a sink. Easy solution! When you get annoyed, switch it to tracking and the buzzing stops. When that job is done, switch to training again and let your body continue to learn correct posture on the drive home or throughout your evening. I stick mine on right out of my morning shower almost every day and it says there completely unobtrusively all day long! I disliked the adhesive idea when ordering and thought for sure I would order the necklace upgrade, but I must say I am extremely impressed with how well the adhesives work! I am about a month into wearing it and only on my SECOND pad! I've been told I'm a rather oily person even. I use the alcohol pads on the sticky every time I take it off and it's good for another whole day. (I started using rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab which is cheaper...) There are exceptions to the whole day stick when I sweat hard in the sun. I usually leave it off when it falls off on those days, clean it, and start over the next day. Can't win them all... I think the programming and app work fantastic for what it is. You have to understand that all that this thing is is an accelerometer that measures unit angle relative to earth plumb. With that basic technology, there is obvious limitations. If you plan to be swinging a pick or cutting up trees all day long, don't even bother wearing it. It will be buzzing all day and you already know there's nothing you can do better for your posture... One thing I like is that if you slouch far enough (like tying your shoe, or lying down) it does not buzz at you. All the the angles and thresholds and timers and buzzing patterns can be configured in the easy to navigate app to tailor the experience for you. Unfortunately, I have caught myself in the habit of slouching more than I normally would when working sometimes to keep the angle below the buzzing threshold, which is not good but something to be aware of. I also have very sensitive skin (or lots of hair or something) and am very aware of anything touching me so I thought this sticker would drive me nuts. After the first 10 minutes of wearing it, I completely forgot about it! The battery lasts about 2 full days which is impressive. The included case I thought was stupid at first, but quickly realized how nice it is to keep the adhesive clean when you're charging it, or packing it along somewhere. The upshot -- The most effective slouch tool available right now Requires some attention and consideration to be effective Wear it on the weekends and days you're just around the office and leave it at home on highly physical days. Wear it a few days a week and you will surely become continually aware of your posture! Great battery Fantastic adhesive performance Highly customizable Non-obtrusive The whole goal of this product is to remind you of your lousy posture so often that being aware of your slouch is constantly on your mind, even when you take the GO off. This does that very well! Absolutely worth the price of nearly $100 I highly recommend the GO 2 to anyone!

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.

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.

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

This works really well and is easy to set up and use. Recalibration is also easy and quick if you find it’s not “reading” your posture quite right. Just check the contents of your box before you use it. I didn’t notice that the charging cable wasn’t the one pictured - it has the same connection on both ends (the one that is meant to fit into the unit) and no USB connection. I had already used the unit for a few days so couldn’t return it as unused and my devices are Apple so I don’t have an android telephone charging cable, which is what I think I need. The seller responded quickly but said they could not send me a charging cable but that I could return the item for a full refund and order another one. I know this one, which works perfectly well, will just end up in landfill and that really bugs me so I'm going to try to find a charging cable that will work.
