What it does do different is that it logs other events in your life via your connected smartphone - your digital activities, such as the time spent on e-book reading, listening to music, gaming, and on phone calls and social networks. Life logging As an activity tracker, Sony's SmartBand automatically records activities like running, walking and sleeping, which means anyone serious about tracking physical activities will be left wanting - no workout tracking, no heart rate or cycling tracking. It charges quickly too, going from dead to full in less than an hour.

Once on, it felt secure in place, and luckily, the SmartBand is comfortable enough to be worn all day (even in the shower, thanks to IP58 water- and splash-proof certification) and with battery life running upwards of four days, you'll only have to take it off once a week. or worse still, ask someone else for help. Getting the strap onto the wrist is an exercise in frustration, and we had to fidget our way into securing the clasp. All that's there is a microUSB port for charging and a multifunction button and three status lights on the side. It looks a bit like a display-less FitBit One, but staying encased in the band means its not meant to be seen, and is basic and functional in design. The band itself is a receptacle for the brains of the device - what Sony calls the core - a small white plastic pellet sized device that's roughly 1.5 by 0.6 by 0.3 inches and weighs less than 30 grams. Made of a rubbery material, the strap has a dual-prong metal clasp with two pins on the one side and a brushed-finish Sony logo on the other. Design At first glance, Sony's SmartBand looks like just about any other nondescript activity-tracking band, and it's fairly inconspicuous on the wrist.
