Huawei Talkband B2
The Huawei Talkband B2 was announced at Mobile World Congress in Spain earlier this year, the second generation of Huawei’s TalkBand devices which brings with it a new style and sophistication. The B2 comes with a built-in Bluetooth headset and sports bracelet. It also has a 6-axis sensor to track every move and even help you with your sleep by measuring your duration and deepness of sleep.
The B2 also comes with a dual microphone setup for noise reduction and knows when its in the band or when it’s being used as a headset and can redirect the audio from a call or music. it also can also act as a phone finding device for any Android phone by vibration or ring tone alert.
Huawei did state that the B2 had a battery that could last up to 5 days or a total of 6 hour talk time and 12 day standby time.
Expansys have the Huawei Talkband B2 available in Silvery White for $214.99 + up to $20 delivery (depending on shipping and location).

No heart rate monitoring is no sale for the B2 for me, but reviews suggest a poor headset and average tracker – for that price you can good two good devices (sony/plantronics), Im waiting on the SWR12 cheaper and better. But very surprised about the Z3+, inspite of its known heating issues and software update to throttle the 810 to prevent from overheating!, you will definitely need its IP68 rating to keep it cool. At nearly $1K and throttled to last years Z3????, is this a good buy?.
If I’d not had PC expenses chomping about $600 over the past month or so, then I’d have pounced on the B2.
