If in the field of “smart” hours and are generally the kind of gadgets there is a clear dominance of the two companies, Google and Samsung in the segment of high-tech bracelets is not so clear. Feels your hand at this site and Sony, uses and conceptual approaches of competitors, and their own development. Began her path of development IT bracelets with the application of the experience of the Samsung developers, to ensure your product Gear Fit, bendable screen and full functionality of a fitness gadget. According to the same principles had created a version of the Sony SmartBand SWR10, which, however, no innovation has been proposed, but only duplicated the functionality of a standard similar devices.
The Contribution of Sony in the development of the segment and he could remain undetected, however, the Japanese soon surprised fans more interesting development – SWR30. Although the direction of the development of the gadget has remained the same, the company has provided for a number of technological features. Not to say that another attempt to take a worthy place in the market of fitness bracelets offers absolutely unprecedented options, but some advantages distinguish the new product line of Sony SmartBand, a review of which is presented below.
During the inspection of gadget catches the eye display technology E-Ink and button to adjust the volume. On the left side is the Micro-USB port with plug – it can be used for charging. Here is the speaker output. On the right side is the main control button. By and large, and stylistic features, and configuration controls repeat performance the Sony SmartBand SWR10, but there are significant differences. For example, a new modification of the plastic block with the electronics and the display is in sight, and mounting strap runs on the edges. It should be noted that the possibility of easy adjustment of the strap allows you to literally drain the gadget with the hand, relieves discomfort and stiffness in the limbs.

In terms of design everything is predictable, but no obvious failures. The competition this model still selects the E-Ink screen – however, there are differences in this difference plus or minus. The device looks original, but fashionable and stylish it can be called with great reservations. In General, the manufacturer is known for a thorough approach to design, and for this reason, it is not clear why the family Sony SmartBand still has got a beautiful individual.
Officially declared characteristics offer from Sony looks even more interesting than the bracelet Samsung. However, a considerable advantage of the Korean device is the Super Amoled screen. With him and competing to develop E-Ink:
If you check the other criteria for the comparison of the new model Sony SmartBand competitors, on the foreground there will be communication capabilities. Japanese bracelet has an advantage in terms of opportunities of combining with other gadgets, but loses due to the lack of access to the Network.
It has repeatedly stressed that the model is equipped with a screen type E-Ink, which does not provide for illumination. Accordingly, the optimum conditions for the use of the gadget ensures good lighting. The screen has a stretched shape. On the one hand, with this solution, the bracelet Sony SmartBand has a high density of points, but on the other – the objects displayed are somewhat lubricated around the edges. Among the disadvantages of this part of the notes and the traces from the previous actions. That is, when the change in function of the previous image goes away gradually, not immediately.
The Screen is implemented as touch, but multitouch support is not provided. Moreover, the function of the sensor is unstable – according to users, it is often necessary to perform a double-click, which brings inconvenience. Here it should be noted and the plastic coating of the display, while the premium wearable electronics in the mass is provided by glass surfaces. It is necessary to highlight the positive side of the screen, which are supplied with all members of the family Sony SmartBand, among which the initial version SWR10. For example, the sun information is perceived better than on screens with any lighting.
The Main screen displays the time and distance traveled for the day. A second screen informs about the number of steps taken, and the elapsed time of running and walking. The contents and the order of the other sections depend on custom extensions. In particular, the content of the next screen to assign music player, or voice notes. Additional option is to provide the function of Voice Control. In this case the developers of Sony SmartBand Talk has sought to implement something similar to Google Now or Siri. This ability allows to recognize voice commands, and combining the results with Internet search.
But for Russian-speaking users this innovation is useless, because the system works only with phrases in English – with significant problems. Bring more benefits extensions Calendar and Weather. As in other devices, these options are responsible for the display of weather and calendar day. But the creators of Sony SmartBand slightly expanded the traditional approach to such information, and providing the output information for the days ahead.
The Gadget communicates only with devices that run on the Android platform, and only version 4.4. Pairing can be realized through two channels-using Bluetooth or NFC. Special problems in the organization of the connection does not occur – electronics readily interacts with smartphones. I must say that the bracelet Sony SmartBand SWR10 seriously losing new modifications in terms of capabilities of mobile devices.
One of the main advantages version SWR30 became support for calls and notifications. This means that when a call to the phone bracelet begins to notify the user by vibration. Using the same device and challenge to accept. Moreover, the gadget is quite suitable for the role of a wireless headset, allowing the owner to make calls without taking your smartphone. Active users of social networks will appeal to and work bracelet with notifications, but unfortunately, they can only be taken as a warning, and the responses already sent to the unit.
Here may be noted another advantage of E-Ink technology, which releases the screens on the background of LCD displays. Fitness bracelet, Sony can work longer competitors without recharging thanks to the use of this technology. But only subject to the availability of batteries with the same capacity. To achieve significant autonomy can be provided for the rational use of the functions of the gadget.
For Example, a modification of the Sony SmartBand Talk can sustain for 4 days provided that will disable any sync with the phone. But this advantage refers to the screen, and the overall performance of the battery is poor. Battery capacity is only 70 mAh. For comparison, a direct competitor to Samsung, provides your fitness-wristband supply elements 210 mA*h. as a result the Korean gadgets able to work for 5 days without recharging, without limiting user functionality.
The Model creates a positive impression due to its simplicity, usability and good functionality. While most manufacturers of new electronics tend to give products with new and typically not particularly useless opportunities, with the Japanese firm offered a truly effective option. As noted by the owners, Sony SmartBand Talk SWR30 is very convenient to receive calls and notifications, not to mention the basic functions of a fitness tracker.
A List of flaws, possibly more than positive feedback. But it's not in their quantity but in value. For example, many owners are not satisfied with the lack of heart rate functions and backlight. Although the model displays great information on the sun, in the dark it is almost useless. There are claims to the device strap retainers, who together with awkward connector for recharging are often the cause of failure. ...
