And to an extent there’s nothing wrong with that. This is why you should treat any information presented by the SWR30 as a rough guide, not a definitive report. For instance, during a half-hour conversation where I may have got a little carried away with arm movements to demonstrate my point, the SWR30 added more than 200 steps to my daily total. When it comes to the pedometer, however, be warned that a sensor hanging from your wrist can be easily misled. The SmartBand Talk also tracks how long you walk for, a handy feature if you want to set yourself a goal of being on your feet for a certain amount of time per day. On average, it only tracked around two-thirds of the time – so on a 45-minute run it would indicate I’d been running for only 30 minutes. To be fair, it did usually correct this when it next synchronised with my phone, but it’s odd that it needs to. It’s supposed to be able to tell when you set off at a run, rather than your normal, sedate amble, but the SWR30 fails abysmally on its own. I’m less impressed by the reliability of the running tracker.
We’d like to see the call function get a bit more stability, and we wish the default strap was more secure, but aside from that we thoroughly enjoyed our time using the SmartBand Talk and would recommend it over the Huawei TalkBand B1 without a moment’s hesitation, and think it’s a solid Samsung Gear Fit rival.Sony SmartBand Talk review: pedometer and fitness functions The altimeter and automatic sleep tracking put it in the same league as some of its top competitors, and when you add the smartwatch capabilities into the mix you’ve got an excellent little gadget here. Overall, we found the SmartBand Talk to be a good fitness tracker that collects lots of useful data (as well as lots that isn’t useful at all). The downside is that, during that hour of charging, the SmartBand Talk won’t be tracking your activity (whether it’s steps or sleep).
We found that the SmartBand Talk can last for up to five days between charges unless you’re making/taking lots of phone calls, which is more than the three days stated by Sony and is quite impressive.
