Sony Wena Watch

Sony's Wena Watch is still just a concept device that the company is attempting to crowdfund in Japan, and we hope they are successful. This looker features a 42mm traditional watch face with Quartz movements. It also includes NFC, a 6-axis sensor for activity tracking and a seven-color LED light for notifications built directly into the band.

If funded successfully, the watch will begin shipping in March of 2016.

The iHealth Wave is similar to the Misift Shine Speedo edition.
