To go along with its smartphone announcements, Lenovo today at CES 2015 unveiled a new wearable, the Vibe Band VB10. With an E-ink display, the Vibe Band promises week long battery life with all its features turned on, all of the time.
The Vibe Band combines more traditional smartwatch features such as, well, being a watch, and showing you your notifications and sprinkles them with some added fitness bits, too. Notification support includes Twitter, Facebook, WeChat and more, and the display can show 150 characters, so you can at least see an entire Tweet.
The Vibe Band will have a companion app too for your phone for tracking your fitness and setting up notification support. Oh, and it'll support both Android and iOS when it launches in April. We'll be spending a little more time with it later this week from Las Vegas, but for now be sure to check out Lenovo's full mobile press release below.
