Clove has updated information
suggesting watch won't be
available until September
Announced on June 25 along with
the Xperia Z Ultra , the new Sony
Smartwatch 2 features NFC
pairing support, as well as the
ability to remote-control certain
apps on supporting Android
smartphones. UK retailer Clove
had originally stated they would
be selling the Smartwatch 2 from July 15, and
has been accepting pre-orders based on this
information. Now though, an updated release
schedule suggests that it will not be available
until September 9.
UPDATE 9/7 - The release date of the Sony
SmartWatch 2 has been put back to September
and will not be launching week commencing 15th
July as previously stated. The revised arrival date
is week commencing 9th September. At all times
we provide the most accurate information we can
based on data we are supplied. It has transpired
that the date of the 15th July given by Sony’s
distribution arm was incorrect.
So, the incorrect information reportedly comes
from Sony themselves, but it doesn't necessarily
mean the Smartwatch 2 is delayed. Someone may
have just got a little ahead of themselves, but
nevertheless it's sure to be a bitter blow to
anyone who has already pre-ordered. With the
new release date, we would expect to get a good
look at the finished article at IFA 2013 in Berlin
which takes place that same week.
