The First Smartwatch that is Useful

I've been having many emotional ups and downs related to smart watches. I was pitching them just to realize they do not really bring any real value while adding the bulk of yet another charger to my travel gear.

For the last 6 months or so I have been wearing the Moto360 which is by far the nicest smart watch ever (Apple included). But it has two serious drawbacks: has to be recharged everyday and the charging cradle is bulky. Yes the cradle is nice as a desk stand but I am spending more than half of my life now on a plane and carrying the bulky charging cradle has not been what I really want.

I have also been carrying a Bluetooth headset in my carry on backpack. Namely the Plantronics Legend. Very nice headset in a clever recharging box.

But when I saw the Huawei Talkband B2 I gladly traded in the Moto360 and the Plantronics for this simple Smart Watch. The Talkband is ingenious. It is a simple stylish smart watch with a touch screen. It also doubles as a Bluetooth headset. Two in one. And has a microUSB charging port. And lasts a couple of days on a charge. I'm traveling light. Again :).
