Ahead of the July 18 unveiling, two popular Chinese e-commerce websites; Jd.com and Vmall.com have both listed the Huawei Talkband B5 for pre-order alongside the device’s full specs and press renders.

The listing confirms the TalkBand B5 will hit the stores in two versions: the Sports Edition with user replaceable strap in Ash, Black and Brown color, and Business Edition with metal strap and leather straps which are also replaceable.
