Description
You start the workday sitting tall. By mid-afternoon your chin is drifting toward the screen and your upper back is aching. The UPRIGHT GO S is a small sensor that notices the slump before you do and buzzes to tell you.
How the nudge works
The device is 1.89 inches (48 mm) across and sticks to your upper back with a reusable silicone adhesive, or clips into the Upright Necklace (sold separately in other kits). At the start of each use it calibrates to your current position. When you slouch, it vibrates, and you sit back up. Upright calls this biofeedback training: the goal is awareness over time, not a brace that holds you in place.
Making it yours
- Three feedback plans let you change vibration type and intensity.
- Daily training intensity settings adjust to how you feel and what you’re doing.
- The app syncs and stores up to 7 days of posture activity, loaded to your dashboard when you reconnect.
- The battery lasts up to 6 days at the recommended 3 hours a day, and charges by USB-C.
The adhesive question
Each of the five included adhesives lasts up to 10 uses, depending on your skin and how you care for them. They don’t stick well to sweaty skin, so Upright suggests training somewhere cool and dry. The device is splash-proof but not waterproof; keep the USB-C port dry. If your skin reacts to adhesives, the necklace option or a word with a clinician first makes sense.
Also in the box: a travel case, a USB-C cable and an adhesive removal tool. The color is light gray and there’s a 1-year warranty.
Keep expectations realistic
A posture reminder helps with habits. It won’t change back or neck pain that has another cause. If pain is ongoing, spreads into an arm or leg, or comes with numbness, see a clinician before you start training.
