The Smart Band can also track steps, and movements in relation to fitness. Want to know how tight you are sleeping? The Smart Band can tell you that too.

Roy Mostril, a rep from Sony says that there are also many apps that make it even more functional and will give you the ability to track virtually everything you do and save the information. For example, you can track and save music you listened to and any games that were played.

The battery life reported is impressive, with Sony claiming up to a week of use on one charge. It’s also reported to be durable as well, and can survive any conditions.

Could this be a digital memory bank, a second brain? The Smart Band is due to be released in stores in March of 2014.

More MWC 2014 Day 3 News brings the announcement of the Motorola Smartwatch.

“It’s our intention to deliver interesting wearable technology – we are developing a watch which will be coming out in the next year, our main focus is that we will start to solve a real user problem in that there are no wearable products you want to wear – all because they are all extremely ugly.” Rick Osterloh, SVP product management, said at the event.

It seems that Motorola’s goal is to create a watch that will be stylish and look more like jewelry.

Motorola has confirmed this week on Twitter that they are definitely working on a new wearable watch that will be available this year. They did confirm that their goal is address market issues that consumers have, such as, something stylish in design and a long battery life.

Motorola also confirmed that the smartwatch will run Android, and not the older version Tizen, but the newest Osterloh.

This Motorola smartwatch will be another product in the Moto Line, quashing rumors that the line would end when Lenovo purchased the company from Google.
