Lenovo Vibe Band VB10 to be sold for $ 89

Until now, the Chinese Lenovo has been rather discreet in the race for smart health connected objects. We just remember Liu Jun, mobile EVP of the group who gave a meeting last May to the media for the CES for the presentation of a smart health connected bracelet. This was further confirmed when the FCC released the Lenovo project document on its website last month. So it's been official for a few hours, the smart health connected bracelet that Lenovo presented at CES 2015 will be called the Vibe Band VB10, and it will be sold for only $ 89.

The vibe band VB10 is disappointing

As is the trend now, it is not a simple pedometer but an advanced activity sensor that seeks to compete slightly with smart health connected watches. A 1.43 inch screen in e-ink (which allows it to be visible in all weathers, including under the sun) will display thanks to Bluetooth the main notifications that the user receives on his smartphone. These include SMS, incoming calls and even social networks. To this, it records the number of steps, the distances traveled, the calories burned or even sleep.

Personally, I find that the design of the Vibe Band VB10 forces it to make a big discount compared to the competition. The aesthetics are really far from what is currently being done (watch out for the official photos which make it prettier than what it really is) with the silver frame which makes it a little gadget and the micro-USB socket visible on the side, especially when compared to successes such as the Swarovski Misfit Shine announced earlier today.

Its price, the only argument?

Its autonomy is evaluated at 7 days, which is on average similar sensors, such as the Fitbit Surge which will soon be released and which intends to do quite similar things. In short, the Lenovo Vibe Band VB10 is a very correct bracelet, but without much novelty. Its advantage will certainly be the price since $ 89 for such an offer is quite accessible. Currently, its counterparts are more in the $ 150- $ 250 range for a similar product.

The release for the Lenovo bracelet is announced for April 2015 in the United States.
