The Huawei Talkband B1 manages to separate itself from the competition by adding Bluetooth headset capabilties to a phone. It does so without adding masses of bulk. However, it might not have the convenience factor it needs, given to use it as a...

Makes calls ; Clever charging ; iOS and Android support

Tricky to get on ; Awkward on the wrist ; Very small screen

Solid battery life ; Well priced ; Competent Bluetooth headset

Awkward charging mechanism ; Rudimentary fitness tracking ; Bulky design

Bearing in mind the Huawei TalkBand B1 retails for a snip under £100 there’s a couple of ways you could look at this. As a fitness tracker, although it features a nice app and cross-platform support, there’s not a whole lot of depth on offer here, nor...

The TalkBand B1 will appeal to anyone who uses a Bluetooth headset on a regular basis. It offers somewhere to store the headset while you're not using it, and helps you monitor your sleep and activity as a bonus.The poor step-counting accuracy is very...

The TalkBand works as both a fitness tracker and a Bluetooth earpiece, with solid call quality and a very respectable battery life.

Combines a Bluetooth headset and fitness tracker into one unit ; The wrist strap doubles as the unit's charging cradle ; Exceptionally long battery life as a fitness tracker ; Waterproof construction

Pretty basic with its set of features ; Display only shows us our daily results ; Weak volume output ; Mobile app is pretty light with meaningful data

It's pretty amazing that the fitness tracker market continues to gain steam, despite the saturation we're already seeing. Huawei's venture into the space is an intriguing one, partly because they've decided to go with a totally different approach by...
