Great design
Attractive application

Sony's SmartBand is a lightweight simple device that's easy to set up and has a companion app that's packed with features. It's dust and water proof and has a great battery life
A fitness band that's about more than just fitness
It logs more than just your steps
Calorie loss
And sleep patterns
With information stored about what you're doing through the course of a day and where you do it
Can be set to automatically switch in
The editors didn't like
Poor exercise companion
Some tracking results didn't seem overly accurate and some of the features weren't very useful. The design is also a bit bland
And its not great for real fitness junkies
No app for iOS or Windows Phone (we can excuse Windows Phone
But this should be available on both Android and iOS

I wanted to like the Sony Smartband, but I`m not sure I do. The overriding pain of having to re-connect it constantly was enough to really sour my experience with it, despite the fact that it's so comfortable to wear.Sony, Jawbone, Fitbit, LG, Huawei – an...
Great design, Attractive application, Detailed analystics
Poor exercise companion
Sony's SmartBand is another wearable unsure of its focus. It fails as an exercise companion because of its limited support, while its diligent approach to phone monitoring is an answer to a question no one has asked. This wearable could benefit from doing...

The SmartBand is an ambitious recipe that needs a little more time in the oven. There are better trackers on the market....
No. It's bad. And it's $159 in Australia. There are some big ideas here, and while I'm not convinced that all the lifelogging is really something a lot of people want, regardless, this device does it poorly. It feels like Sony had a brainstorm session, tr...

Sony's take on the wearable fitness tracker is a little different from everything else we've seen thus far, and actually a nice diversion, which some interesting possibilities.We quite like the idea of finding out how much time we're wasting away over the...
Logs physical and digital activities, Waterresistant, Neat UI on the Lifelog app, Smart wake up alarms, Good battery life, Attractive pricing
Hohum design, Misses out on social sharing, Media playback is iffy, Needs support for controlling more thirdparty apps, Needs a way of distinguishing different notifications

Logs more than just physical activity, Waterproof, Comfortable, Easy to set up
Battery life could be better, No social features, Disappointing selection of third-party apps
I think there's a trick being missed here. As it stands, the SmartBand feels like it's living up to about 75 percent of its true potential. Lifelog is clearly meant to be the focus. The app isn't perfect -- I'd love to be able to drill down into even more...
We'd like to propose this is a beta product, and we have our reasons. First, having more than one app for a single device suggests this is meant for a platform. Smart Connect has uses beyond the Smartband, and we'd like to see a day when the tiny, white p...

Small and light desig, Different color band option, Good sleep tracking
Only works with Android 4.4 device, Involved setup proces, Finicky smartphone remote contro, No diet tracking
Sony's SmartBand tracks your daily activity as well as what you do on your smartphone, but the information it gathers isn't all that useful. No, it's not just a fitness band. Sony's $99 SmartBand is designed not just to record your daily movem...

Abstract: It was announced a few months back, but the SmartBand was finally available in the last two weeks. I picked this up on a whim, and it's been on my wrist since then. How has it performed? Not so bad, especially if you have an Xperia phone.The SmartBand is...
