I found it a satisfyingly intuitive smart device and after just a minute of playing with the SmartBand Talk app, which takes you quickly through the basics, I was up and running. That smaller button is used to cycle between apps or answer/end a call, and when you want to interact with an app, you just tap the screen nice and hard (nancy-boy prods don’t register). On the sides you’ll find just one small button and a volume rocker. The SmartBand Talk is a simple device at heart. It’s not a massive issue if you get the wrong one for you, thankfully, as you can simply pull out the little clips and replace the entire strap. Be sure to get the right size too – at first I had the M/L, which was definitely not built for spindly wrists like mine. I quite like the simple design, with both black and white models looking quite smart, although the strap is a total fluff magnet. Basically, that means you don’t have to worry about whipping it off when you’re doing the dishes or taking a shower, if you’re ultra-lazy.
It’s a lot slimmer and lighter (just 24g) than most smartwatches and also fully water-resistant, with an IP68 rating (which means it can be fully submerged in around a metre of water for half an hour or so). If you’re after a wearable that’s reasonably subtle and suitable to wear constantly, even when enjoying a spot of exercise, the Sony SmartBand Talk is a strong choice. We review the Sony SmartBand Talk, a smart little life tracker that can also take calls and throw notifications straight to your wrist – providing you have an Android phone.
