    29th October 2015 - Sony Mobile announced the addition of two new products to its SmartWear Experience range, Sony SmartBand 2 and SmartWatch 3. Both talk to the popular Lifelog, the accompanying app designed to help you understand more about the way to live and move, so you can improve and enrich your life.

    Sony Mobile Communications (“Sony Mobile”) had recently launched the SmartBand 2, a multi-sensor lifelogger that provides full-scale insights about your fitness, well-being and stress levels.

    Your heart, well-being and stress levels

    Inside the same SmartBand modular “core” form factor, SmartBand 2’s accelerometer and heart rate sensors work together to monitor pulse and heart rate variability, allowing you to gauge overall fitness, excitement and stress levels throughout the day.

    SmartBand 2 automatically tracks activities such as walking, running and other workouts whilst mapping your heart-rate alongside each activity. Sony’s popular Lifelog app helps you keep track of progress, with fun comparative insights, giving you inspiring motivational prompts based on your activity.

    You’ll be able to enjoy a better night’s rest, as SmartBand 2 provides sleep insights, with automatic sleep detection – and the smart alarm clock function will gently vibrate to wake you up at the best time based on your sleep cycle.

    Live smarter, with intelligent notifications and connectivity

    SmartBand 2 ensures you never miss a call, message, email or tweet with subtle vibrating notifications and bright pulsing RGB LEDs. It allows you to easily control the music on your smartphone or tablet, with simple taps to play, pause and skip through tracks.

    You’ll also never lose your Xperia smartphone or tablet as SmartBand 2 will vibrate to alert you when you're more than 10 meters from the connected device.

    And, SmartBand 2 reaches full battery capacity in around one hour, lasting up to 2 days.

    24/7 wearability

    With durable silicone casing, up to 2 days battery life, and IP68 waterproofing - despite its cap-less microUSB - SmartBand 2 can be worn anywhere and everywhere. Designed at Sony's Creative Center sites in Sweden and Japan, SmartBand 2 has sleek, subtle looks with an all-new metal clip, so it can be easily and securely fastened.

    SmartBand 2 is now available in Malaysia at Sony Stores (The Curve & KLCC), selected Sony Centres and authorized dealer outlets nationwide. It is available in white, black, indigo and pink, with a retail price of RM599.00 (USD 139).

    SmartWatch 3

    After leading the market since 2007, SmartWatch 3 is Sony's latest generation SmartWatch, but the first specifically designed for the latest Android Wear updates in close collaboration with Google. This partnership matches Sony's leadership in smart, wearable products with Google's software and platform expertise to create a unique wearable experience founded on both hardware and software innovation.

    Android Wear organizes your information, suggests what you need, and shows it to you before you even ask. You can get messages from your friends, appointment notifications, and weather updates at a glance. It could be flight information, tips based on your interests or messages of any kind, so user input is seldom necessary. But if you need to interact with Android Wear, voice is easiest way.

    Even without your Android smartphone, SmartWatch 3 is a fun and useful accessory with impressive standalone functionality – featuring native music playback, intelligent sensor technology, built-in microphone, as well as Accelerometer, Compass, Gyro and GPS sensor technology, which means more accurate, more powerful life-logging.

    SmartWatch 3 offers significant step ups from SmartWatch 2, including a 1.6" 320x320 TFT LCD Transflective display for visibility in bright sunlight, set within a stainless steel back panel, for a premium look and feel. It is of course waterproof, rated IP68 - and charges via a standard microUSB port.

    It has a built-in 4GB local memory, that means you can sync playlists, and simply connect with a Bluetooth headset to listen. You can do this before a run, leaving the smartphone at home and still have great music offline - you can also track that run with GPS and Lifelog.

    The SmartWatch 3 is now available in Classic (Black) and Stainless Steel, with extra colour straps available in Sport (Lime) & Pink, at all Sony Stores (The Curve & KLCC), as well as selected Sony Centres.

    Silver Metal : RM1,399.00 / ~USD 325
    Black : RM1,099.00 / ~USD 255
    Sport Strap (Lime) : RM199.00 / ~USD 46
    Colour Strap (Pink) : RM199.00 / ~USD 46
