Sony SmartBand Talk hands-on
8
Sony's SmartBand Talk is the follow-up of the company's SmartBand – a wearable that lacked any type of display and was only meant as a fitness / health tracker. Now, SmartBand Talk combines this with another tech Sony has been experimenting with – the e-paper watch – and brings us a water-resistant fitness band with an e-ink display. Additionally – the “Talk” in SmartBand Talk comes from the fact that the wristband accepts voice commands, so there's that mystery unveiled.
The display has a 1.43” diagonal and it helps for following the SmartBand Talk's measurements directly, instead of using your smartphone like you would with the regular SmartBand SWR10. As far as functionality goes – the band tracks steps, calories, sleep cycles, exercise times, and notifies you about calls, messages, or alerts coming to your connected phone.
