Sony has launched a new SmartWatch, the Sony SmartWatch 2. The new watch comes offering NFC connectivity, waterproofing and is also water resistant. The Sony SmartWatch 2 is a second-screen companion for your Android smartphone and comes with a range of features. It will let you take calls, use it as a remote camera shutter, or us it for at-a-glance mapping when you’re out for a run.
It is also water resistant with an IP57 rating, so if you’re out in a shower then your watch won’t get washed away.
The display is larger than the past generation of device with a 1.6-inch 220 x 176 pixel resolution display offering improved daylight viewing. The user interface is designed to reflect the familiar look and feel of Android. NFC tech is in place to make pairing really simple, incorporating Facebook login.
The watch features an aluminum design, along with the button you’ll recognize from the Xperia Z family of phones and tablets and will come with a range of strap styles and colours.
Other bright features include:
