Lenovo’s first fitness tracker looks a lot like the Fitbit Flex

No official announcement & Lenovo pops a wearable quietly.

Everyone wants a piece of the fitness tracker pie. Lenovo has quietly revealed its entry into the market, a Fitbit Flex-like device called the “Lenovo Smartband SW-B100.” It appears that the product has accidentally hit the web — there’s no official announcement from the company. Instead, a small product page has just popped up on the Chinese computer giant’s website. The page is somewhat transparent about the company’s goals for the device: “the Lenovo Smartband is for young people who take care of their personal health and are interested in new tech trend products.”

From the product listing, the Lenovo Smartband offers a similar set of features as other fitness wearables. It will track your steps, distance traveled, calories burned, and heart rate. It can also keep tabs on your sleep habits. Unfortunately, this is not an Android Wear device. It appears the only notifications it show from your phone are phone calls, text messages, and calendar appointments. And the screen’s tiny enough that you likely won’t be able to see the text message itself on the device. There is, however, a neat little feature that will automatically unlock your PC when you bring the device near it.

There’s no word on price or availability — Lenovo didn’t immediately return a request for comment — but going off of Lenovo’s history, it’s very possible that this fitness tracker may never come to the US. Where ever it does go on sale, we know it’ll sync with Android and iOS apps, and it’ll come in both orange and blue. We’ll let you know when we find out more.
