Nice design
Long battery
The Sony SmartBand Talk's e-ink display makes it easy to see your activity
The time and incoming notifications. The display uses very little power so battery life is pretty good and its ability to take calls comes in handy when you're too busy (or too la
Very easy to see in sunlight
Light and comfortable to wear
Does some of the things a smartwatch would do
But on a budget
Three to four day battery life
Charges through microUSB
So no proprietary charger (woot!)
The editors didn't like
Pricey
Lifelogging app still nascent
It doesn't have GPS
A heart-rate monitor or the most glamorous design. Sony's Lifelog fitness app keeps track of too much pointless information
Electronic ink screen needs some Gorilla Glass or mineral strengthening

Waking alarm won't automatically detect when you're upright and moving

E Ink display is super crisp, Notification setup is great, Comfortable on the wrist, You can phone your mum,
Activity tracking is way off, Battery life isn't brilliant, Ghosting issues with display, Bluetooth connection often drops,

The e-paper screen looks slightly unusual, even a little dated at first, but it's a nifty idea when it comes to conserving battery. We like the design and would be happy to wear the device so we look forward to taking it our for a full test run.Sony Smart...
The Sony SmartBand talk represents an evolution for the brand - taking the idea of 'Lifelogging' to the next level through the ability to see what's going on with an e-paper display. It's a device that sits somewhere between a smartwatch and a fitness ban...
Simple and unfussy design, Clear E Ink display, Comfortable to wear, Unobtrustive notifications, Calls sound good (if that's what you want)
Battery could be better, Access to notifications limited, Activity tracking is basic, Can only have one favourite contact for calling
The Sony SmartBand Talk SWR30 is beautifully designed, comfortable to wear and succeeds on its namesake's aim to enable calls on your wrist too. But it doesn't quite thrill in any one department.For many that E Ink display, given its Kindle-like monochrom...
SmartBand Talk has got some nifty additions with calling support and display unit on board. However, it is still very much the same old SmartBand for us and at Rs 12,990 with an E-ink display; it is hard for us to understand the logic behind pricing the b...
Abstract: Sony's intention behind the first SmartBand was to offer users an accessory to keep one posted of every incoming call, message and notifications on the smartphone, so one wouldn't miss out on important calls even in the busiest of places and times. SmartB...

Abstract: Sony India announced its new SmartWear Experience range, SmartWatch 3 and SmartBand Talk in the market. Both wearable devices connect with the popular Lifelog, the accompanying app designed to help you understand more about the way to live and move, so yo...
In conclusion, the Sony SmartBand Talk SWR30 is an interesting and handy device to have but at its price range, it may prove to be too expensive for most to consider. For those who can bear the cost however, you get a simple yet intuitive device in a nic...
