Three screengrabs of the Lifelog app, showing the main screen, a breakdown of steps and the map tracking. Without a display, this means the band vibrates whenever something needs your attention, so I'd recommend just setting this up for one or two important alerts and not the full monty. Finally you can get call and app alerts sent to your SmartBand. In addition to the tap-based controls, the SmartBand also has a few other cute features: a vibrating silent alarm (similar to Jawbone and Fitbit) and an optional out-of-range alert that has the band vibrating when it loses Bluetooth connectivity with your phone - the idea being that it stops you from leaving your phone behind. Turning it on and tapping it against a NFC enabled phone should take you directly to the Google Play store to download the Smart Connect app and get you started.


The devices uses Bluetooth for connectivity and has NFC. (Of course, Lifelog is where you put your personal settings, such as height and weight, just to be a little confusing.) The latter provides all of the functionality of the SmartBand, but it's the SWR-10 app where you'll find all the settings for the SmartBand, so both are definitely required. The two apps are Sony's SWR-10 connect app and Lifelog.
