Sony Challenges Samsung With SmartWatch 2

Sony's SmartWatch 2, the company's second-generation smartwatch, is available to U.S. consumers beginning Tuesday. The device can be purchased directly from Sony's Web store or other online retailers. The SmartWatch 2, announced earlier this year, costs $199.99 and outclasses Samsung's Galaxy Gear smartwatch in several key features.

The SmartWatch 2 has a larger, higher-resolution screen than the original. It measures 1.6 inches and includes 220 x 176 pixels. Sony says it uses a transflective screen that has improved brightness for outdoor viewing. The user interface has been reworked to more closely mimic Android. Pairing with other devices is a snap due to built-in NFC and Bluetooth, and the SmartWatch 2 is resistant to water and sweat so it will serve well as a workout buddy.
