Wearables are the ‘it’ thing this 2015. With Android Wear devices and the Apple Watch making their presence known people are starting to ponder smart wearables. Sure you’ve had FitBit around for awhile and all manner of fitness tracker type devices but wearables are starting to grow and expand in complexity and the Huawei TalkBand B2 fits the bill. An elegant looking fitness tracker that comes in two versions: the sport (black and white) and the gold-tone with leather band. Contained in Huawei TalkBand B2’s unique design is a full-featured fitness tracker. The 6-axis motion sensor automatically identifies what sort of exercise the user is doing— whether it’s walking, running, cycling or hill climbing — and Huawei’s intelligent calorie-tracking technology reports on how many extra calories have been burned.

The other nice part of the TalkBand B2 is Huawei’s partnership with Jawbone and the UP system which lets you connect to around 3,000 other applications, some that monitor your workout and some that even control your thermostat at home. The TalkBand can also be used as a Bluetooth speaker and mic allowing you to take phone calls and leave your phone in your pocket. With all the press revolving around the Apple Watch and Android Wear, the Huawei TalkBand B2 might be a better alternative for those who just don’t need a smartwatch or the high prices that come with them. The TalkBand B2 starts at $179 so the price point is significantly better than the Apple Watch and better than most Android Wear watches. Read the full press release below.
