The editors liked

  • Bluetooth calling functionality (if that's what you're after)
  • More premium looking design than original TalkBand
  • Basic activity tracking
  • IOS and Android compatible
  • Doubles as Bluetooth headset
  • Simple UI
  • Works with Android and iOS
  • The Huawei TalkBand B2 combines a fitness tracker and Bluetooth headset into one device. It's the first non-Jawbone device to offer compatibility with Jawbone's excellent tracking app
  • And it works with iPhones and Android phones
  • Looks smart
  • Surprisingly slick implementation
  • Looks pretty slick
  • OLED display is almost invisible
  • Battery life is good
  • Comfortable fit
  • Excellent build quality
  • Calls sound great
  • Android and iOS compatibility
  • It's different enough to be cool
  • Lovely design
  • Good battery life
  • Fast charging

The editors didn't like

  • Battery life not as great as claimed
  • Activity tracking not as accurate as competitors
  • App is far less advanced than competitors
  • Display not readable in bright conditions
  • No phone notifications
  • Have to remove to charge
  • Limited functions
  • The band is bulky and uncomfortable to wear
  • And battery life falls short. For the price you would expect added features
  • Such as notifications from a smartphone. The Huawei app is bare-bones
  • And syncing with the Jawbone app was completely undependable
  • Very expensive
  • Very limited smart features
  • A likely ridicule-magnet
  • Rubbish visibility in bright sunlight
  • Inaccurate sleep tracking
  • Fiddly to use as Bluetooth headset
  • Quite expensive
  • App is pretty basic
  • Who wears a Bluetooth earpiece anymore?
  • No notifications
  • Too large to wear all the time
  • Display not great in sunlight
  • Only basic exercise info
  • Need to be removed from cradle to charge

  • The TalkBand B2 is certainly an enormous improvement over the TalkBand B1 in terms of design and practicality, but I'm still not sure I'd buy one. It's an opinion divider, but I think for a (probably small) number of people, this device is going to be rea...

  • Although I applaud Huawei for trying something different in a market of increasingly carbon-copy devices, I'm still not convinced this is filling a gap. The TalkBand B2 is a major step up on its predecessor, however. It is what the B1 should have been....

  • Battery life not as great as claimed, Activity tracking not as accurate as competitors, App is far less advanced than competitors, Display not readable in bright conditions
  • The idea of the Huawei TalkBand B2 is one you'll either love or hate. It all boils down to whether you want a Bluetooth earpiece or not - because if you're looking for an activity tracker that allows you to answer calls without talking to your wrist then...

  • Abstract:  Although the Talkband B2 was launched a good 6 months back, I only got hold of a review unit recently. Like the Talkband B1 which I reviewed a year ago, the B2 can be detached from the dock on the strap and be used like a Bluetooth headset. When the heads...

  • Doubles as a Bluetooth headset, Features neat animations, Fitness data ports to excellent UP app
  • Display tough to see, Battery life mediocre, Expensive
  • The Huawei TalkBand B2 manages to distinguish itself from other fitness trackers with a few neat tricks, and it works mostly as advertised. It's surprisingly comfortable, and the animations give it more personality than other devices. If it were less ex...

  • Battery Life is amazing. Simple to use tracking app and works with Jawbone UP. Nice design
  • A little bulky, strap is a little cheap. Price tag at $179.99 is a little high
  • Overall the Huawei TalkBand B2 does what it does well. The design is slick and good looking but a little too bulky and unruly looking. The software is super easy to use and it is also supposed to work on Jawbone's tracking app, something I did not test. B...

  • Easy-to-navigate touch-screen display, Acts as Bluetooth headset, Water- and dustproof
  • Inaccurate sleep tracking, Integration with Up app is currently limited, Earpiece still tricky to insert, Short battery life
  • The $179 Huawei TalkBand B2 is an activity tracker that doubles as a Bluetooth earpiece, but its wonky sleep tracking, limited app functionality and short battery life hold it back...
