Sony Smart B Trainer Review: All-in-One

OFweek wearable device network news face different types of sports, want to rely on the same set of electronic products to deal with is very difficult. It may be enough to bring a mobile phone/player and headphones while running. The "Data Party" may also wear various kinds of wearable devices. However, the requirements for products during swimming and cycling may be different.

If a device can come in handy under different sports scenarios, would you like it? In fact, Sony launched such a product - Smart B-Trainer.

Although the form of the Smart B-Trainer (specifically SSE-BTR1) is closer to a pair of Bluetooth headsets, it has to say that its function has far exceeded the headset itself.

In addition to the headset function, the Smart B-Trainer has 6 different sensors, including heart rate sensor, GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope, electronic compass and barometer, which can monitor various motion states independently of the mobile phone. Integrating so many features on one product may only be comparable to mobile phones.

The rich sensor allows the Smart B-Trainer to “listen to all directions” while it is in use. It can monitor 11 items such as heart rate, distance, steps, altitude, and route, and it can definitely meet the needs of the “Data Party”.

When used with swimming earbuds, Smart B-Trainer supports IPX8's waterproof rating, which means you can swim with it. However, it should be noted that underwater Bluetooth and some sensors (heart rate, atmospheric pressure, GPS, etc.) do not work properly. Smart B-Trainer is more for listening to songs while swimming.

Because of the exceptionally rich functionality, the Smart B-Trainer's buttons are also a bit more than the regular Bluetooth headsets. It may be a little uncomfortable when first used, but it is very convenient and efficient to operate after familiarity.

In playing music, Smart B-Trainer has two different modes: playing music with built-in storage space (need to be transferred in advance through a computer, storage space 16GB); another like ordinary Bluetooth headset, connect mobile phone / player use. Both modes can be switched quickly using the keys on the headset.

Don't worry, although the Smart B-Trainer integrates a variety of sensors, its weight is controlled at over 40 grams, and the "burden" of wearing on the ears is perfectly acceptable. And because it is designed around the neck + rear, it is still very reliable to wear, do not have to worry about falling off during exercise.

It is worth mentioning that Smart B-Trainer has a dedicated mobile app (the same name and product name, support iOS, Android dual platform). In the app, various parameters of the Smart B-Trainer can be set, and you can also develop your own training plan before exercise. After exercise, you can check your sports performance through the data.

During the training, Smart B-Trainer will remind you of your movement status. For example, high heart rate during running will remind you to slow down properly.

We all hope to hear some "construction" songs while we are in motion. In addition to manually creating our own "sports exclusive song list," Smart B-Trainer also offers a more scientific and easy way.

Smart B-Trainer can pre-analyze the song's BPM (beats per minute) information and then match the most appropriate song based on the user's heart rate while exercising, especially when running, and feels very good. Of course, you can also pass Manually "cut song" to select a song with a more suitable tempo.

Unfortunately, perhaps for waterproofing purposes, the Smart B-Trainer does not support the Micro-USB interface and must be connected using a dedicated charger and metal contacts to complete the charge (about 1.5 hours), which means when you are traveling Take one more line.

On the Smart B-Trainer official website, it can be seen that its battery life is 3 to 13.5 hours. Because the state of the sensor is different, there will be a larger range. When all the sensors are on, that is, “fire full” mode, the battery life is 3 hours. During non-sports, the battery life of Bluetooth audio is 13.5 hours.

After experiencing Smart B-Trainer, we felt that it was difficult to divide it with the existing product category. In fact, Sony's official description of Smart B-Trainer is "smart wearable music player."

If you are interested in a lot of sports and want to carry as few devices as possible, Smart B-Trainer is a good choice, it can be "one stop" to meet the demand.

In fact, Smart B-Trainer has been released abroad for some time, but this time the National Bank version has added Chinese language interface/language support, and the map has also been replaced with a more "grounded gas" map. In addition, the Smart B-Trainer BNM is priced at 1,699 yuan and the international version is priced at US$249.99. Overall, it is relatively sincere.
