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

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
9.0 The Sony Smartband is a great first effort by Sony that's lightweight with exceptional battery life and is a perfect all around package for anyone looking to keep track of their daily life while maintaining some casual fitness....

The SmartBand is an ambitious recipe that needs a little more time in the oven. There are better trackers on the market....

Innovative, versatile design. Waterproof. Beautiful app. Lots of graphs for stats lovers.
Finicky band closure. Complicated setup process. Confusing notifications. Rudimentary fitness tracking capabilities. Virtually useless media controls
Part activity tracker, part notifications accessory, and part journaling tool, the Sony SmartBand SWR10 has a lot of potential, but needs more refinement....
Extremely lightweight and compact, you can almost forget you’re wearing it, Works with all Android 4.4 phones, Water resistant with IP58 certification, 5day battery life, Sleep monitoring is nice, and silent alarm is great too
Setting it up is a bit too lengthy of a process, No way to track any other types of exercise apart from walking and running, No display at all
The Sony SmartBand SWR10 is now sold for $100, a price that is not too high given that the competing FitBit Flex is also sold for $100, while the Nike FuelBand+ is priced significantly higher, at $150.For all it aims to do, though, the SmartBand delive...
Abstract: Way late in the fitness tracker game, Sony knew it had to come up with something unique in order to stand out from the growing market. If the Wellograph is designed for suits, the Sony SmartBand is designed for narcissists. Yeah, the device can track if y...
Simple and unobtrusive design, four day battery life, accurate step counting, Lifelog app is great (if that's what you want), smartphone notifications
Android only, no display on device, lack of activities and tags, data analysis not as advanced as competitors, sleep tracking is useless
The Sony SmartBand has a lot of potential, but it doesn't quite hit the mark, falling short of its competitors in a couple of areas, such as the inability to measure distance and elevation. The activity tracking accuracy is fantastic in our experie...
Abstract: My only small gripe is that it is sometimes quite hard to get the music player remote element to work – you have to tap very hard. It's actually easier to hit your fist into the other hand to get it to work. There is a slight lag so it's easy to think it...
Lifelogging app is unique, Wide range of accessories, Works with non-Sony phones,
No display, Data needs more depth, Camera controls are clunky,
Sony's attempt to make activity tracking more than just a fitness fad is a noble aim but sadly the SmartBand in its current guise falls sadly short. We love the idea of life logging but there needs to be a little more depth to the data. Not to mention bet...
It's fun to control your phone from your wrist, Lifelog is a neat idea well presented, Waterproof
Lack of fitness tracking features, Unsure of what it really is, Android only
This strange mishmash of features means that the SWR10 occupies a strange space in the wearable tech world. That said, it is at least a space all of its own. There’s not much out there right now that can offer you all of the features of the SWR10, but t...
Abstract: Smartwatches, fitness bands, heart rate monitors and a whole lot more – wearables is big business and every smartphone manufacturers is looking at how they can enter the growing wearables market. In the case of Sony, they were one of the first manufacture...
