https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xIjqJJBxHA The SmartBand Talk is one of two newly announced wrist-based wearable devices unveiled by Sony at IFA 2014 in Berlin.

The band offers both a flexible style and life logging abilities. The feature that sets the SmartBand Talk apart however, is the ability to use it to take calls. With a built-in microphone and speaker that offers HD Voice support, there is no need to miss calls if your phone isn't directly to hand -- as long as it's paired to a phone in your pocket.

A curved, alway-on E-ink display perches on top of it and the battery will fuel it for three days, Sony claims (and we'll be testing in our review). As well as having different coloured bands and cores, it will also be waterproof the highest market standards.

Voice control is integrated into the band and users can assign their own sounds to various tasks. For example, you could use assign the sound of your fingers clicking to a command, and use it to start your music.
