Inexpensive, Light and comfortable, Tracked data is truly useful, and not limited to health and fitness, Compatible with many Android devices, Excellent battery life, Waterproof
Lacks a screen, Notification feature somewhat useless, No iOS compatibility, Strap gets easily dirty, Potentially confusing and onerous setup process, Update: An earlier version of this article noted that the SmartBand's Core sensor was not waterproof, wh
The Sony SmartBand is an excellent example of a wearable smartphone companion that, by living on your wrist, improves the overall mobile experience. It's not the ideal fitness tracker, but what it lacks in focus it makes up for in features....
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...

Discreet styling, tracks more than standard health and fitness, dust and waterproof, lightweight
Tracking not always accurate, not always clear what the data's for
The Sony SmartBand feels a little bit like a technology in search of a solution. It tries to log just about everything, but there are more detailed devices for health and fitness (the main uses for wearables so far) which rather leaves you wondering why...

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