Singapore, 20th
August 2015 – Sony
Mobile Communications (“Sony Mobile”) today announced SmartBand 2, a multi-sensor
lifelogger that provides full-scale insights about your fitness, well-being and
stress levels.
“We set out to create the most
advanced wearable at this section of the market – SmartBand 2 has the capability
to deliver, and make biometric data meaningful for users within Lifelog” said Kaz
Tajima, Senior Vice President, Head of UX Creative Design and Planning at Sony
Mobile Communications. “Not only does it represent a powerful vision of how
consumers can learn more about themselves – it allows us to explore exciting
new opportunities with development partners.”
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 days4.
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 will be available in Black and White at
launch, and two additional vibrant colours shortly after – Pink and Indigo. As it retains the same compact “core”
footprint as SmartBand, you can wear the technology with original first and
third party bands for greater choice.
SmartBand 2 launches across 60
countries worldwide, from September 2015.
