Sony Bluetooth wrist notifier arrives on the FCC. Is this the latest smartwatch from Sony?
A previously unannounced device from Sony called the SWR10 won approval from the FCC today. FCC filings call the device a “BT Wrist Notifier”, and test reports indicate that the device won approval for its use of Bluetooth. Label notations also show an NFC logo, which you can see in the center of the label pictured above.
It’s unclear what exactly the BT Wrist Notifier will do. In the past, Sony has referred to its LiveView smartwatches as wrist notifiers. However, the label location photo above shows an odd form factor for a watch.

^If it's that long, it should be curved. Thought of Nike's Fuel Band.

It's all because Fuel isn't compatible with Android, and I think Nokia said once that they're not planning Android support...
I think having multiple sensors in the phone is good, but the wristband is good also, as you don't have to carry the phone in your hand or pocket... specially if the wristband can store it's data locally and sync. with your mobile by NFC+BT, BT LE, or all...
But I really hope Sony integrate at least a pedometer in it's phones so we can track every step even when not wearing that wristband...
I'm just waiting for Next SmartWatch with BT LE support, I was disappointed with SW2 by not supporting BT LE... thought the battery life of the watch is good as a smart watch ... the BT will eat the battery of the connected phone... BT LE will be a good solution for both as it will increase both battery life... and also will enable Sony to have WiFi in the smart watch for demanding tasks like taking remote photo or video

Just found a nice concept of the upcoming "Z1s" (Z1 refresh) via twitter:
http://livedoor.blogimg.jp/itsoku/imgs/e/8/e8e2d1a4.jpg
the designer seem to listen to the rumors and made realistic design. in my opinion, he should shrink/relocate the SONY logo a bit to the center of bezel be in the proportion of the rumored thinner bezel but apart of that it still looks nice. can a water proof phone accommodate this bezel dimensions? or is it too thin for a waterproof construction, big battery, big camera sensor, etc.? what do you think?

I think Sony showed what they can do to the bezels when they launched the Z and ZL. Rather than go ZL they went the Z route and kept the phones waterproof which is good, it's a good way to separate themselves from the competition. Talking to some engineers, they say that smaller bezels on a waterproof device would compromise the device but you could do a full front wrap around screen as a single component, not like the current design where the front and back are held together by the metal sides.

I think an 'active' (smart not sports) wristband is a good intermediary step towards smartwatches. With smartwatches, for once, manufacturers have outdone themselves and started producing product categories ahead of the public acceptance of the need for such an item.
Generally people don't see the purpose of buying a watch when they've just got used to not wearing one and using their phone for the time. Now they're being told to buy watches again and it's too soon. The smart wristband is a good way to get the youngest generations of gadget lovers into the idea that something on your wrist might be useful when used in conjunction with your phone/tablet.
@badassmam like the original ipod mini only flat edges and full glass front?

Been using the Z1f for a few days. They have a different implementation of the Stamina mode. Instead of adding apps to the whitelist, you have to add apps to a blacklist, which does not make sense at all.
Anyway, anyone know about Canopus?
