The three LEDs are your only visual output, but there’s vibrating feedback too.

SONY 1279 4925 SWR10 SMARTBAND US1 BLACK APP ANDROID
As for compatibility, you’ll need a phone running Android 4.4 (with Bluetooth LE) to join in the fun, but NFC isn’t a requirement that just makes pairing a lot easier. In keeping with the rest of Sony’s mobile hardware, the SmartBand is IP58 water- and splash-proof. If, heaven forbid, you might want something other than black, there’s a bunch of colors to choose from, with a pack of three costing $25. In terms of style, it still has that generic “sporty” look, but it’s more understated and visually pleasing compared to others I’ve tried (which is most of them), and the clasp adds a subtle metal detail to the otherwise plain rubber band. The clasp is a small metal circle with two pins on one side, and a brushed finish with a Sony logo on the other. So, even if your wrists are like oak trees, it should still fit. As with other trackers, there’s a choice of two sizes in the box, and the big strap is larger than any other band we’ve seen. The band is textured on the outer side and feels comfortable on the skin, even after prolonged use. There’s a micro-USB port on one of the short ends, and that’s basically it. On one edge is a button, plus three small LEDs. It’s about an inch long by half an inch wide, and curved to fit your wrist. The Core part is similar to the sensor you get with aFitbit Flex or Garmin Vivofit. It’s a bit confusing, but Sony calls the small sensor bit “Core,” but when sold with the wristband, it’s known as SmartBand. If Sony can convince more developers to work with the SmartBand’s remote control feature, it could be a real winner. The companion app is fun, and has the potential to be genuinely useful. SUMMARYSony’s created a rare beast: a wristband that isn’t just about fitness.
