Now that Android Wear is a thing and watches are coming out that turn Google's take on the concept into a reality, it's time for the more budget-minded among us to turn their eyes over to some of the previous smartwatches that tackled the form factor before it was cool. One such option is the Sony SmartWatch 2, a device that was never mind-blowing but perfectly capable of displaying calls and notifications like the alternatives that have launched since.

Light Flow Updated To Support Sony's Illumination Bar, Sony Smartwatch, and More

Sony's SmartWatch SW2 Is Bigger, Better, And Coming In September, With An Aluminum Body, New UI, And NFC Pairing
Believe it or don't, there were smartwatches before the Pebble and its host of contemporaries. While it's debatable that Sony's second-gen watch was the best of them, it was certainly among the most high-profile watches, and the company has returned to its old stomping grounds now that the segment has exploded.

Sony Opens Up The SmartWatch, Encourages Developers To Create Alternative Firmware
Sony wants to make sure that you remember they've got a smartwatch, what with all these Pebbles, Agents, and every other Johnny-come-lately crowding the market.
