Sony computer watch costs less

Sony says its new computerized wristwatch will sell for US$200 in the United States and will work with a variety of Android phones.

Sony’s SmartWatch 2 hasn’t gotten as much attention as Samsung Electronics Co’s Galaxy Gear, but it’s cheaper and compatible with a broader range of phones. The Gear costs US$300 and currently works only with the company’s Galaxy Note 3 phone.

Unlike the Gear, however, Sony’s watch doesn’t let you make phone calls directly through the wristwatch. You can answer calls with the watch, but you will need a Bluetooth wireless headset linked to the phone if you don’t want to hold the watch up to your ear.
