"Not convinced by the smartwatch hype? Fear not. Sony today unveiled the SmartBand Talk, a Bluetooth-enabled\u00A0wearable that builds upon its 'Core' and SmartBand products.\r\n\r\nThe biggest change is a 1.4-inch, curved e-ink display. Sony's original 'Core' and SmartBand SWR10 fitness tracker, unveiled in January and released in the US only a few months ago, didn't and required an Android smartphone in order to review physical activity. The low-fidelity display alleviates that problem, while offering up to three days of charge with its 70mAh battery.\r\n\r\nAs the name implies, Sony's SmartBand Talk also comes with a built-in microphone and speaker. This can be used for basic voice commands or taking calls from your smartphone; it's not clear exactly how many people want to talk to their wrist Dick Tracy-style, but the option is there nonetheless.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe device is centered around Lifelog, a service Sony offers for tracking not just fitness, but also the entertainment you consume and other important life moments. It'll be available this autumn for roughly \u20AC159 ($209). When exact pricing and release dates are confirmed, we'll be sure to let you know.\r\n\r\nGallery\r\n\r\n[gallery ids=&amp;quot;794847,794845,794844,794843,794846,794848,794849,794850&amp;quot;]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
