You can turn on the device by pressing the button on the band and tapping it with the phone.

The core, which is a small pen drive like device that fits into the wristband, is the heart and soul of the SmartBand while the band is its face.

The SmartBand is made of two components - the wristband and the core.

Smartwatches and fitness trackers are the hottest categories, but so far the mainstream brands, including the likes of Samsung and Sony, have not been able to hit it big. As more device makers start exploring the wearables market, it has become critical for each one of them to bring in some differentiation.
