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...

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...

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...

Premium and stylish design ; Convenience factor of being a two-in-one device ; Display blends into the unit’s design ; Automatic sleep mode ; Water & dust resistant construction

Doubles as a Bluetooth headset ; Features neat animations ; Fitness data ports to excellent UP app

Display tough to see ; Battery life mediocre ; Expensive

The Huawei TalkBand B2 manages to distinguish itself from other fitness trackers with a few neat tricks, and it works mostly as advertised. It’s surprisingly comfortable, and the animations give it more personality than other devices. If it were less...

Easy-to-navigate touch-screen display ; Acts as Bluetooth headset ; Water- and dustproof.

Inaccurate sleep tracking ; Integration with Up app is currently limited ; Earpiece still tricky to insert ; Short battery life.

The $179 Huawei TalkBand B2 is an activity tracker that doubles as a Bluetooth earpiece, but its wonky sleep tracking, limited app functionality and short battery life hold it back.

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?
