When not connected to your phone, SmartWatch 2 works as a standalone digital watch. Read previously received notifications, access the time, set your alarm or even use as a light when searching for your keys.

SmartWatch 2 can also be personalized with any standard 24mm wristband and new Sony watchstraps will soon be available for further expression of your personal style.
