Light and customisable design, Heart rate monitor, iOS and Android, Waterproof
Short battery life, Need app for feedback, Less smart than UP3
Sony's Smartband 2 doesn't do anything revolutionary, despite being a decent little fitness wearable. Like many fitness trackers it can monitor your daily movements and sleep patterns on a fairly basic level, while the built-in heart rate monitor is handy...
