Huawei launches the TalkBand B3 a minimalist wearable device

Huawei Consumer Business Group has launched the TalkBand B3, a minimalist wearable device that is said to bring productivity and connectivity “in a sleek, stylish form factor”.

The TalkBand B3 is crafted from premium materials including stainless steel and 3D curved Gorilla Glass. The device allows users to stay seamlessly connected and engaged with Bluetooth 4.2 support, mobile phone synching and health tracking capabilities. The accompanying headset’s dual microphone design and active noise reduction technology reportedly improves call quality, filtering out background noise and delivering richer sound.

The Huawei TalkBand B3 can be personalised to match each user’s personality, and is available in three core styles: Active, Classic and Elite.

Huawei’s new wearable reflects the sleek, fashionable designs of previous generations of TalkBand wristbands while introducing stylish new elements. The TalkBand B3 features high end materials, including Italian leather and high grade stainless steel for the strap. To maintain the TalkBand’s pristine appearance, the curved touchscreen features an anti-fingerprint coating to prevent smudges and protect against scratches.

B3 (1)“Adoption of wearable devices is exceeding expectations across the industry, and once again, our new series of TalkBands brings unparalleled advances and innovative features that are a must for today’s consumers,” said Richard Yu, CEO, Huawei Consumer Business Group.

The Huawei TalkBand B3 is engineered to provide constant connectivity through the latest Bluetooth specification, which ensures wireless phone synching so users never miss a call. The device’s PMOLED display features 80 x 128 resolution within a glass-protected touchscreen.

The TalkBand B3 boasts a 91mAh battery, with a 1.5-hour charge time enabling 6 hours of calling, up to four days of typical use and six days of Bluetooth-connected standby time. The device has health and fitness features, including accurate activity tracking (step counting and calorie calculations), sleep quality tracking and sedentary reminders.
