When I tested the TalkBand B2, a number of its features irritated me, such as the limited two-day battery life or the fact that the screen was incredibly bright at night, waking me up every time I turned over and the screen activated. The additional step counter, calorie burner and sleep monitor were interesting add-ons that provided a tale of being glued to my desk, or walking marathons during tech industry events, but these features have regressed in their utility over the initial fascination period.
Now that I’m testing the B3, it’s clear that there are some useful features for a watch that doesn’t quite match the email facilities of a full Android Wear/Tizen device or an Apple equivalent, but it certainly gives more than a simple time telling mechanism.
