"SmartBand Talk is a powerful lifelogger, built for users who live life to the fullest". Thats how the maker captioned the device on their official blog. Indeed it is one of the very decent wearable we have personally seen in the recent times, which brings in the smaller 1.4-inches e-paper display, which is a low-power consuming but highly visible and clear panel, that will screen the user with every details of activity from the aforementioned Lifelog application, as well as show you with relevant notifications from other apps, synced with the handset. The unit also features call functionality and a number of fitness tracking capabilities. As said above, the SmartBand Talk attributes Sonys fresh HD Voice and integrated Voice Control technology, with built-in microphone and speaker for great and clear conversation over the phone calls.

The incorporated accelerometer and altimeter sensor in the new Sony SmartBand Talk, will provide its users with a complete track record of accurate overview about your daily fitness activities, including walking, running and even climbing. The SmartBand brings you all the collected data information pulled from your smartphone to its e-paper display screen, when you feel to review your fitness over times.
