Huawei Talkband B2

I ended up liking the TalkBand B2’s quirky nature and oddball looks. It certainly got some attention, and the party trick of popping out the earpiece is a bizarrely entertaining crowd-pleaser. It just didn’t fit in very well with my phone use, which is...

Unobtrusive and comfortable ; It's a fitness tracker with a Bluetooth earpiece in it!

Seems wildly overpriced ; Mediocre and brief feature list ; Who wants a fitness tracker with a Bluetooth earpiece in it?

The very best fitness tracker with a Bluetooth earpiece in it that you can buy. Not really recommendable on any other level, especially given that it's the same price as a Microsoft Band and far pricier than a Fitbit Charge HR. The TalkBand B2 is snug,...

Clear call quality. Accurate fitness tracking. Attractive design. Comfortable.

Pricey. Limited use. Faint, reflective display. Positioning in ear can be finicky.

Conclusion The Huawei TalkBand B2 is a decent fitness tracker and an average Bluetooth headset, but it certainly isn't a leader in either category. The touch screen is responsive and the icons are well-animated, but the display is difficult to see. And...

Bluetooth calling functionality (if that's what you're after), more premium looking design than original TalkBand, basic activity tracking, iOS and Android compatible

Battery life not as great as claimed, activity tracking not as accurate as competitors, app is far less advanced than competitors, display not readable in bright conditions

The idea of the Huawei TalkBand B2 is one you'll either love or hate. It all boils down to whether you want a Bluetooth earpiece or not - because if you're looking for an activity tracker that allows you to answer calls without talking to your wrist...

resistant to water and dust, elegant design, high-quality materials, very light, good tracking performance, integrated Bluetooth headset, good speech quality, usable battery life, works across all platforms

except Windows Phone, microphone is somewhat quiet, notification system could be expanded, barely readable outside

With the Huawei TalkBand B2, the manufacturers take a step in the right direction. We like the new design, the high-quality materials, and excellent workmanship very much. The proven concept of fitness tracker plus Bluetooth headset is convincing on...

The Huawei TalkBand B2 combines a fitness tracker and Bluetooth headset into one device. It's the first non-Jawbone device to offer compatibility with Jawbone's excellent tracking app, and it works with iPhones and Android phones.

The band is bulky and uncomfortable to wear, and battery life falls short. For the price you would expect added features, such as notifications from a smartphone. The Huawei app is bare-bones, and syncing with the Jawbone app was completely undependable.

Despite its unique two-in-one design -- it's a fitness tracker and Bluetooth headset -- the Huawei TalkBand B2 ultimately overpromises and underdelivers on both accounts.
