It doesn't have GPS
A heart-rate monitor or the most glamorous design. Sony's Lifelog fitness app keeps track of too much pointless information

This isn't a perfect product. It really should be more accurate, while its reliance on Sony's idiosyncratic software is a definite weak spot – as is the fact it only works with Android phones. But the fact it's barely left my wrist for the past six weeks ...
Comfortable, attractive and waterproof, Beautiful Lifelog app, E-ink display
Unreliable activity tracking, Lack of data analysis, Restrictive phone requirements
Sony SmartBand Talk SWR30 – Software The SmartBand Talk has surprisingly restrictive requirements. It's only compatible with devices running Android 4.4 KitKat and above – so make sure your smartphone fits the bill – but that's not all. You'll also need t...

It's worth noting, though, that the Sony SmartWatch 3 can be found for just £50 more, so if you're after SmartWatch functionality more than fitness tracking it's definitely worth investigating before making the decision to buy the SmartBand Talk.Tags:Wear...
Simple, stylish and suitably smart stuff from Sony, the Smartband Talk packs in the features and boasts a decent battery life compared to the rest. We love the simplicity of the e-ink screen and appreciate the large – in fitness band terms – display, esp...
Simple and unfussy design, clear E Ink display, comfortable to wear, unobtrustive notifications, calls sound good (if that's what you want)
Battery could be better, access to notifications limited, activity tracking is basic, can only have one favourite contact for calling
The Sony SmartBand Talk SWR30 is beautifully designed, comfortable to wear and succeeds on its namesake's aim to enable calls on your wrist too. But it doesn't quite thrill in any one department. For many that E Ink display, given its Kindle-like m...

E Ink display is super crisp, Notification setup is great, Comfortable on the wrist, You can phone your mum,
Activity tracking is way off, Battery life isn't brilliant, Ghosting issues with display, Bluetooth connection often drops,
While the SmartBand Talk definitely looks to be an improvement on Sony's original lifestyle tracker, it's not really accurate enough to compete with the established players in this genre. Unlike Fitbit, Garmin and Jawbone, the level of recording or analys...
