The Huawei TalkBand B2 combines a fitness tracker and Bluetooth headset into one device.

The TalkBand B2 is like so many of the other activity trackers on the market. The wrist-worn device is capable of measuring the steps you take each day, your calories burned and your sleep at night. There's vibration on board that can be used to wake you up in the morning, a favorite feature of mine, or to remind you to get up and move. To time and track individual workouts, there's also a special stopwatch mode.

What helps the band stand out is the detachable Bluetooth headset that can be used to answer phone calls. It's an interesting feature that we'll dive deeper into later. While there's no heart-rate sensor or any sort of notifications from your smartphone (aside from caller ID), there are some other bells and whistles, although most of them felt more gimmicky than practical.
