Huawei has announced the TalkBand B1, a fitness tracker with an integrated Bluetooth earpiece, will be available from GetHuawei.com, Newegg.com, Amazon.com and Fry’s Electronics in the U.S. beginning November 14th. The tracker will initially be available only in true black at a suggested retail price of $129.99 with more colors to be release during the upcoming year.
The TalkBand B1 will work with Android 4.0 or higher devices as well as iOS 5.0+ compatible devices. Huawei says the device can sync through a Bluetooth connection or using NFC. The battery in the TalkBand B1 is projected to last six days on a single charge and the device can be recharged in only 2 hours using an integrated USB connector.
The TalkBand B1′s features are fairly comprehensive. The device can handle the normal activity tracking duties like counting steps, calculating miles covered and calories burned. The device will also monitor sleep quality and duration and a vibrating alarm can be set to wake the user without disturbing others. A timer can also be set to alert the wearer if they have been inactive for too long.
As a Bluetooth headset, users can also use the TalkBand B1 to take or make calls. To help users be ready, the device will vibrate once a user moves more than 10 meters away from their synced device.
