The [Huawei](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huawei-watch-buds) TalkBand is a nifty headset and [fitness tracker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allai-wearable1) on display at 2014 Mobile World Congress convention that combines functionality with fitness design.

The fitness proponent of the TalkBand is that it measures your steps like a pedometer and tracks the amount of hours that you sleep for, while estimating your overall caloric burn, which is all displayed on the band. The [Bluetooth feature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huawei-freearc) pops out of the band to be placed in your ear and offers seven hours of talk time even while using the fitness features. The band charges via a USB connector and the company says it will also be able to do online errands without the need to pull it out of your pocket.

This product is designed for the person on-the-go, who wants to keep track of their health without too many distractions. The TalkBand encompasses all the feature to help one stay healthy and connected.
