The editors didn't like
Setting it up is a bit too lengthy of a process
No way to track any other types of exercise apart from walking and running
No display at all
Finicky band closure. Complicated setup process. Confusing notifications. Rudimentary fitness tracking capabilities. Virtually useless media controls
Some tracking results didn't seem overly accurate and some of the features weren't very useful. The design is also a bit bland
And its not great for real fitness junkies
Hohum design
Misses out on social sharing
Media playback is iffy
Needs support for controlling more thirdparty apps
Needs a way of distinguishing different notifications

Discreet styling, tracks more than standard health and fitness, dust and waterproof, lightweight
Tracking not always accurate, not always clear what the data's for

Although we didn't very long to look at the SmartBand and Core, we liked the design and the feel of the device on our wrist.The amount of data the app collects and how it's used raises important questions over privacy, but it's a certainly a compelling pr...
While the Smart Band is a really clever idea, especially when paired with the Life Log, I simply wasn't impressed with its functionality. I'm hoping that updates and future version will improve upon the design and offer better results – this kind of tech ...
Quick and easy setup, High level of activity tracking accuracy, Fantastic Lifelog app
Heavily dependent on smart device interface to work, Attracts a fair amount of dust
The Sony SmartBand is not a fitness wearable in the truest sense of the word, instead its best described and utilised as a smart device companion and low-level activity tracker. From this standpoint, the SmartBand performs extremely well and helps in furt...
