Sony to Challenge Fitbit with New SmartBand Fitness Tracker

Sony plans to take on fitness trackers such as the Fitbit Charge and Polar Loop with the new SmartBand 2, a waterproof wearable device that monitors heart rate and sleep patterns in addition to delivering phone notifications. “The company already released the Android companion app, showing that you can pause your music, go to your previous or next track by tapping once or twice,” reports TechCrunch. “Sony also created a special feature that lets you monitor your stress level, or your level of excitement.” A night mode disables notifications and there is also an alarm clock. The $130 SmartBand 2 will hit shelves next month.
