The Sony SmartWatch 2 may go on sale much sooner than anyone expected. When Sony unveiled it late last month, it said that it would be available globally starting in September 2013. But UK-based retailer Clove expects to receive stock as early as July 15th. It has already started taking pre-orders for it at a price of £100.00 (about CA$160 or US$150).
Following on from the original Sony SmartWatch, Sony SmartWatch 2 offers new and improved features expanding your Android experience; whilst also introducing new and exciting ways to live and communicate.
