The TalkBand B6 is something of a
transformer – it’s a wrist-worn smart band, which can pop out of its casing to
transform into a Bluetooth earpiece. While on your wrist, it can be housed in a
silicone, leather or metal straps.
When worn as a smart band, you’ll be
looking at a curved 1.53” AMOLED display with 326 ppi pixel density (188 x 460
px). It will display notifications from an Android (4.4+) or iOS (9.0+) phone.
The gadget is IP57 rated, so it’s not afraid of water (especially if you get
the silicone band). Also, there’s an optical heart rate sensor, complete with
SpO2 monitoring, plus sleep tracking, so the TalkBand B6 can handle everything
you’d expect from a smart band.
The 120 mAh battery should last you 3 days
in smart band mode. And it charges over USB-C so no need to fumble with proprietary
chargers. As a BT headset, the talk time is up to 8 hours. The version with a
silicone band starts at CNY 1,000 while the fancy metal strap will set you back
CNY 1,500.
