Sony’s latest SmartWear model is now available for pre-order at Verizon Wireless. The new SmartWatch3 is coming soon on Google Play too and should be ready this October as we reported a couple of weeks ago.
The SmartWatch 3 is the latest generation wearable device from Sony. The company worked closely with Google to make the most of the Android Wear platform. It’s the first smartwatch to have GPS support which is included in the latest Android Wear update.
Sony SmartWatch 3 has been optimized for Android Wear. The new GPS support enables the user to play music and identify his location even without a phone nearby. You can leave your Android phone at home and then go jogging round the bend. Track your miles and workout with MyTracks or the Lifelog apps.
Specs of the SmartWatch 3 include a nice 1.6-inch TFT LCD Transflective display with 320 x 320 pixel resolution, a microUSB port, and a stainless steel back panel. The Transflective display makes the screen more readable even under the bright sunlight. The smartwatch is rated IP68 so it’s dustproof and water-resistant up to two meters underwater. Available in two colors only: black and yellow.
The SmartWatch 3 is not the only wearable device Sony is set to release this quarter. There’s also the Smartband Talk also shown off at the IFA 2014 event last month. No other details on the Smartband Talk but we’ll let you know soon.
