Sony SmartBand SWR-10 Wearable Tech Review
The Sony SmartBand SWR-10 was first unveiled at CES 2014, and while it was billed as wearable tech focused on fitness, Sony’s CEO Kunimasa Suzuki added some confusion by stating it was actually “smartwear” and was able to be connected to the Lifelog app to help people with communications and ideas. So the end result is effectively a product that looks to record much more than just how fit a person is, and the goals they need to acquire to sustain their fitness.
The Sony SmartBand SWR-10 has a design similar to that of the Fitbit Flex, in that the Core fits into the silicon wristband. We found the device to be incredibly light as well as very straightforward. The Core has a single button on the side, a Micro USB port and three LED lights on the side. The band itself has three pinholes for the LED lights to shine through as well as a bulge to accompany the Core’s button.
The aforementioned button is what switches the wearable tech between different modes, these modes and day and night. The top of the device is controlled by tapping the wearable tech, so if you’re controlling music , you’ll do so by tapping the SmartBand. Evidently the daytime mode will be recording all your physical activity, while the nighttime mode will be recording your sleep patterns.
Setting up the Sony SmartBand SWR-10 requires not one, but two apps to be installed on a paired device. The apps will require both Android 4.4 and Bluetooth 4 Low Energy, so if you’re without one or the other, or both, than the wearable tech is probably going to be nothing more than a bland accessory. The two apps in question are Sony’s SWR-10 connect app and the aforementioned Lifelog app. As you would expect, you connect via Bluetooth, and it has some pretty unique features. One such feature is that you receive a vibration on your wearable tech should you loose connectivity between the SmartBand and your phone, ideal for those who can be forgetful when it comes to your phone or device. That said, it can be somewhat confusing as to what the vibrations relate to, so you could be checking your phone over and over for irrelevant updates depending on your settings.
One nifty feature of the Sony SmartBand SWR-10 is that it allows you to bookmark special events throughout your day, these are known as Life Bookmarks. This is done by double-pressing the button on the device which will allow it to record the date, time and weather of your special event. While it not’s necessarily a game changer, it is a nice novelty feature that some users will adore.
The Lifelog app will monitor a number of categories that include music, camera and browsing. This is in addition to what you would expect the wearable tech to do, which is recording information of calories burnt and steps taken. The Lifelog app will break down each activity and inform you how long has been spent on each one, the app makes for some interesting reading when you discover how long you actually do spend in front of the television. The app can also give a complete rundown of where you have been courtesy of its connectivity to Google Maps. Should users have a Sony Xperia device, the SmartBand will also vibrate to make you aware of any alarms you have set for that device.
The battery life on the Sony Smart Band SWR-10 lasted for around five days, but we weren’t overly surprised by this as there is very little going on to drain the battery. Although the wearable tech goes out of its way to record a number of events and fitness goals, you only receive the aforementioned vibrations and flashing of LED lights, with all the information garnered being displayed on your mobile device.
It could be argued that the Sony SmartBand SWR-10 is trying to be too clever, and in some respects that’s true. As a smartband there are better alternatives available, and as a fitness band it doesn’t really offer anything new, it really is an amalagantion between the two. Granted, this is probably the ideal wearable tech for some people, but it doesn’t have enough features on either side to win the popularity vote hands down. Sony is rumored to be looking at improving features in the future, and as it stands, we are still in a beta stage when it comes to what works and what doesn’t in relation to such wearable tech, so the device could shine brighter in the future.
Sony SmartBand SWR10 And Lifelog Review
I recently got the Sony SmartBand SWR10 and have been using it for a few weeks. Here's what I think. I am reviewing a retail unit running accessory version 04.05.00 and host application version 1.2.0.326.
Information The Hardware The Software What I like / Don't Like Technical Specs
Information
Product website: http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/smartwear/smartband-swr10/
Sony describes the SWR10 as a "Life-logging accessory with notification alert and music remote". It's basically Sony's take on a wearable fitness tracker and life logger, similar to the Fitbit Flex or Samsung Galaxy Gear Fit.
It consists of two separate components: the wrist band which is replaceable, and a removable core unit that holds all the sensors and does all the processing. The SmartBand syncs data with your phone via Bluetooth using Sony's Lifelog app. From within the app you can check stats such as the amount of calories burnt, number of steps taken and so on, but it also logs other activities on your phone, like how much time you spent listening to music, or how much time you wasted playing Candy Crush Saga.
The Hardware
As I mentioned above, the SmartBand consists of a soft rubber wrist band, and a hard plastic removable core unit. The wrist band is adjustable and is available in several colours (sold separately) and two sizes (small and large, no medium size as far as I know at the time of writing). There is a slot to insert the core inside the band roughly where a watch face would be, and a shiny plastic clasp is used to close the band.
The wrist band feels soft and smooth against the skin. It is very light (26 grams including the core), making it quite comfortable to wear. In fact, after a couple days I hardly even notice it's there. I'm not sure how well the clasp will hold after some wear, but in the few weeks I've been using it, it has only come off accidentally once, when I caught the loose end of the band on something I was carrying.
The core is a white hard plastic unit that is approximately 4 cm long. It has a micro USB charging port on one end, a button on one side, and three small white LEDs on the other side. It has built in NFC, Bluetooth and vibrator. Once paired with your phone it will send notifications (you can select which ones you want to receive) in the form of vibrations and blinking LED.
There is no display/screen, heartbeat/temperature sensors, or GPS on the SWR10. Whether Sony wanted to keep costs down or had other reasons for omitting these components, I personally think they made the right decision. Perhaps they wanted to focus more on the "life logging" aspects rather than full on fitness/health tracker. If you would like to compare the features with other fitness trackers, you can use the chart here.
The power button has multiple functions. It is used to turn the core on/off, toggle between day and night modes, to check which mode you are in, and to control certain apps on your phone. It also serves as a charging indicator when connected to a power source.
The SWR10 has a IP58 rating, which means protection from dust, and water up to a depth of 1.5 m for a maximum of 30 minutes. It looks like the wrist band provides a decent seal but I'm just really worried about the open USB port. I'm not sure why Sony didn't put a flap there to seal the port, like they have on the latest Xperia smartphones.
It took about 30 minutes to fully charge the core on my first use, and this gave me about 4 days of use. Sony claims a < 1 hour charge for a 5 day battery life, and this sounds about right. This device is designed to be work 24/7, so the short charging time is quite convenient. I just charge it while I'm in the shower, and it's full by the time I'm done and ready to leave for work.
Pairing was very easy using NFC, and the SWR10 software on my phone immediately started downloading a firmware update. Pairing and setting up the device is all done via Sony's Smart Connect app using the SmartBand SWR10 module, which I'll talk about in the next section.
So far I have only encountered one problem that could be hardware related (though I really hope it can be fixed by a firmware update), and that's the core getting disconnected from the phone. It seems to happen at random times, it can be minutes apart, or it might not disconnect at all for a couple days (as far as I can tell - maybe it does disconnect then reconnect before I can notice). Most of the time, it seems to reconnect on its own but I sometimes have to use NFC to reconnect. Other people online seem to be having similar problems so I don't think I got a faulty unit. The data is synchronized as soon as you reconnect the core, so it's not a huge problem, but still a little annoying seeing the "SmartBand Disconnected" notification pop up on my phone.
The Software
Download (Play Store links): Lifelog | Smart Connect | SmartBand SWR10
The most amazing fitness tracker would be useless without a good a way of displaying the information in a meaningful manner, and Sony's Lifelog app is a decent one as far as I can tell. They have already promised updates that will add more functionality "before the summer". You will also need Sony Smart Connect app and the SWR10 software for it in order to pair and configure your device.
Smart Connect is an app that is used to create certain actions when connecting an accessory, such as automatically starting your music player when connecting headphones, or setting an alarm when connecting to a charger for example.
The SmartBand SWR10 module is what you'll actually use to configure your device. This lets you check the remaining battery level, edit your SmartBand's settings, and access the Lifelog app.
You can enable auto night mode which will block notifications during the specified time period, disable the pedometer, and activate the sleep tracking feature (sorry sleep walkers!). Or if you prefer you can just switch modes using the button on the core unit. I have it disabled as I don't necessarily go to bed or wake up at the same time every day - I just need to be careful and remember to switch to night mode when going to bed.
Enabling notifications will make your SmartBand vibrate whenever you receive a notification on your phone - tapping on the "Notifications" section will load a list of all your apps. From there you can toggle notifications on a per app basis. You might be tempted to enable notification for apps such as Whatsapp or Facebook Messenger, but if you frequently get messages I would advise against it. It can be VERY annoying to have the wristband vibrate every time you get a message.
Smart wake up monitors your activity during sleep, and will try to wake you up during your light sleep period. It lets you specify a wake up interval (10, 20, 30, 45 or 60 minutes) and on which days to repeat, and set the latest alarm time. The vibration is quite strong and you'd have to be a really deep sleeper to miss the alarm (but it's a good idea to also have a backup traditional alarm or use your phone).
You can control certain applications on your phone by pressing the button and then tapping on the SmartBand. There doesn't seem to be many supported apps yet but you can control your music, or the camera shutter for example. I wonder if Sony has some kind of API or SDK that third parties can use in order to create more compatible apps for it.
So far I've only used it to control music (it seems to work with any music player, not just the Walkman app) and it works well, although there is a noticeable delay - less than a second, but you still notice it, especially when skipping through tracks quickly. I don't have this problem with my wireless headphones for example. It could just be the way low energy Bluetooth devices work though, and to be honest it doesn't really bother me.
The only annoyance so far are the two persistent notifications which you can't get rid of. On the one hand it's nice to have a way to quickly access SmartBand settings and Lifelog, but it takes up valuable notification space (both in the status bar and the pull-down) which I don't like.
Lifelog is where you can check all your stats, set your goals, create life bookmarks, and adjust additional settings. It's very bright and colourful as you can see, and runs quite well on my Xperia Z1. The app is free to download from the play store, and is compatible with non-Xperia devices as well. You can even use it without a SmartBand, it just won't track things like the number of steps, or sleep.
You will need to sign in using a Sony account on an Xperia device. On non-Xperia devices you can also use your Google account (not sure if they also have Facebook or other sign in providers). I'm hoping they will add the ability to use Google on Xperia devices as well, as I would prefer using that to my Sony account.
This in turn generates another annoyance: the need to be constantly online. I find it very odd that the Lifelog stats can only be updated/refreshed when you have an active data connection, since the whole point of a tracker such as this is that it is directly connected to your phone via Bluetooth. And to be honest, I find it weird that they require a sign in at all, but I suspect it's so that they can collect stats (I have not bothered reading the agreements or how data privacy is handled, because honestly I don't care...). Does this mean I will not be able to sync my stats when travelling abroad? Or when in Airplane mode? How often does it sync data, and what happens when the memory gets full? I couldn't find any official information regarding this.
The main application interface is split in half. The top portion displays a timeline of your activities, and the bottom part can be toggled between your stats, and a map view that tracks your location. In landscape mode it just displays the timeline.
I found the motion tracker to be fairly accurate, though I haven't actually tried counting my exact number of steps. To be honest, I don't really care how accurate it is, as long as the results are consistent. It is supposed to be able to differentiate between walking, running, cycling, driving and even when riding a train, though in the current version it only works for walking and running as you can see in the screenshot. Sony have said they will add these features in "before the summer".
The calories burnt is a combination of the average amount burnt while idle, and the number of steps as well as whether you were walking or running. All this is based on your age, gender, height, weight, and stride length that you specify in your profile. You should not use this as an accurate representation, it's just an estimate based on statistics.
The activities are logged in the form of icons on your timeline, and you can tap on them or the corresponding panel to view detailed statistics and charts about each of them, such as your number of steps throughout a specific day, week or month, or which applications you are using the most. You can also set certain goals for yourself. The camera log displays thumbnails of your photos, and the music log keeps track of all the songs you've listened to with their corresponding album art.
One thing to note is that it only tracks the time spent in apps that are running in the foreground. So if you have a music player (other than Walkman) running in the background, it will not be tracked correctly.
Finally, there is the Life Bookmarks. You can bookmark moments in your life, and this will create an icon on your timeline. I am not entirely sure what Sony wanted us to use this for, as it's pretty basic at the time of writing. You can just add some text, and it will automatically log your current location, as well as any music track that is playing on your phone. Sony says "everything going on at that moment is caught and remembered", but I'm not exactly sure what else can be automatically logged. I would find it a lot more useful if you could add photos at least, this way you could actually keep track of what you eat, for example, or who you were with at the time.
There are a few little bugs, but nothing major that I will get into here. I expect Sony to fix these with future updates.
What I Like / Don't Like
+ Easy to set up and use + Movement tracking seems consistent and fairly accurate + Lifelog is fun to use and tracks a lot of your activities
- Random disconnections - Requires network connection to sync data - Lack of a webapp and/or cross-platform compatibility, though they have an iOS version planned - Not all features have been implemented yet
