Lenovo launches VIBE Band VB10 fitness band and VIBE Xtension Selfie Flash

Lenovo has already had a big day thanks to their announcement of the P90 and VIBE X2 Pro smartphones, but the Chinese PC manufacturer still has more up its sleeve. Today, Lenovo is announcing the VIBE Band VB10 wearable and the VIBE Xtension Selfie Flash. These devices were made to work in conjunction with Lenovo’s new VIBE X2 smartphone or really any smartphone, and both accessories should be available in the coming months. Let’s take a closer look at these two products.

Lenovo VIBE Band VB10

The Lenovo VIBE Band VB10 is a fitness tracker/smartwatch hybrid that connects to any Bluetooth-enabled device running Android 4.4 KitKat and above. It’s lightweight, durable and is IPx7 approved, so you can get it wet without having to worry about it. It also notifies you of all phone notifications, as well as tracks your steps, sleep, distance traveled, and much more. The display is E Ink, similar to what we see on the Pebble. Thanks to this low-power technology, the battery will likely last up to 7 days on a single charge. The chassis is made of metal and the strap is rubber, offering a both premium and sporty feel to the device.
