I'd like to hear some user experiences. Is this anything else than a very expensive steptracker / vibrating band for notifications?

Whats it for, Rich? Aside from look cheap on your wrist? Reads like smart-watch/health-tracker but its being marketed as a gaming peripheral?

murah · 10 Feb 2015 at 19:32

anyone else a bit confused or am I just getting old

Narn · 10 Feb 2015 at 19:46

i think my smart phone can do all this. i remain to be convinced by this so far but we'll see

Exactly my thought!

Hey rich, dare you to order 500 for a laugh

I guess this is for those using headphones and don't notice their phone light up/vibrate/ring whilst gaming.

Bit steep though :/

Dano · 10 Feb 2015 at 23:11

Pity it's a significant degradation of what it was supposed to be :/

vibrates when you get an incoming alert from your phone

You mean, like what a phone does?

This is just the cheaper version. The full version with the screen ect isn't out on full production just yet.

archer_dan · 11 Feb 2015 at 09:46

hmm, if it does sleep tracking and a vibration alarm then this could be right up my street, especially at that price. Extra phone notifications are cool, guessing it has to be within bluetooth range of the phone, but still useful for the times I leave my phone around the house.

I'm not all that fussed about fitness tracking features as my main activity is cycling which none of them cope well with.

ballin'

Can a phone not do any of the stuff mentioned here? Looks like a piece of plastic with some lights and a Razer price tag added on.

It's very similar to the majority of fitness bands you can currently buy.

The pricing is on par too, the added dimension is that it's Razer and will appeal to gamers more so than a Fitbit or TomTom band probably would.

It's nice to see razer exploring different segments with there products and not just churning over yet more mice & keyboards for us.

rjk · 11 Feb 2015 at 11:16

yeah agreed.

I think Razer are pushing their lifestyle range quite a bit but their branding has managed to retain its cool outside of just gaming.

I would actually really like to try some of their lifestyle audio products as well as these new smartbands.

Unicorn · 11 Feb 2015 at 11:50

Id love to try these out i followed the razer early access program and tried to get one the other week but EU and US sold out in 30 seconds or so

When they due to land?

Of course a phone can, but you can't carry that on your wrist, or sleep with it...!

Nice money spinner for Razer, just be aware that the lists of apps it 'supports' are not really the popular apps people generally use! (Strava, mapmyfitness, myhealth etc).

For cycling you'd struggle to find a fitband - unless there's one you can wear on your leg which would give you HR & cadence!

(Garmin 810, GSC10 and Wahoo TICKR here, used to use IpBike on a Samsung S5 before the Garmin)

ANT+ ftw!

I thought the Nabu X was supposed to be about £30?
