Huawei updates wearable TalkBand with B2
MANILA — Chinese tech giant Huawei recently launched TalkBand B2 in the Philippines in response to the growing demand of Filipinos for devices that can complement their healthy lifestyles.
“As more Filipinos become health-conscious, so does the market for wearable technology and Huawei is at the forefront providing consumers with products that combine style and functionality with the latest technology," said Charles Wu, country head for consumer business group of Huawei Philippines.
“With its intuitive touch-and-swipe UI, the TalkBand B2 keeps you informed and updated wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, with on-screen notifications, reminders, alarms, tracking, and monitoring to keep you in touch with all the important things in life,” he added.
Wu said the convenient TalkBand B2 combines a Bluetooth earpiece and the functionality of a fitness tracker in one elegant design.
It is is equipped with dual-microphone, noise reduction technology and quality Bluetooth connectivity. It also has smart detection to know whether the Bluetooth earpiece is on the wristband or not, allowing it to automatically push audio (music/call) to the smartphone or B2 bracelet.
The TalkBand B2 can last up to five days, and support continuous call time up to six hours, and 12 days’ standby time.
It is also equipped with a pager to search and locate your smartphone, regardless of the phone model, through vibration or ring tone alerts.
With its innovative 6-axis motion sensor, the TalkBand B2 can automatically detect different activities with higher accuracy, such as walking, running cycling or climbing/hiking. It can also calculate the amount of calories burned by different activities to help you plan your workouts, diet and more.
Users can then sync the data with their mobile phone and even share their achievements with friends via social networks.
The same 6-axis sensor, likewise, allows the TalkBand B2 to automatically identify and record motions accurately, detect the duration of deep sleep and light sleep, and provide consumers with health tips on ways to improve their sleep pattern.
The TalkBand B2 sports a 0.73-inch, 128 x 88 pixel, mono PMOLED touchscreen. All you have to do is sweep your finger to cycle through the various modes such as the time/date, steps taken, sleep time, and calories burned.
