It is also IP68 rated so you shouldn’t fear bringing the Smartband 2 for a swim. The tracker unit is NFC and Bluetooth enabled. Depending on the mode, the LEDs will flash blue, orange, red, white or green when the button is depressed. Three LEDs on the side serves to indication the mode which the Smartband 2 core is in. Heart rate reading ceases once the Smartband 2 is not worn. There’s also an exercise mode or heart activity mode which I’ll come to later.
The back of the Smartband 2 houses the optical sensors that will take passive heart rate readings throughout the day. It looks almost identical to the original Sony Smartband Core SWR10. A single button controls all the workings of the Smartband 2. Like its predecessor, the Sony Smartband 2 is also a removable activity tracker core that begs to be customised.

Perhaps it was also due to the fact that besides the Smartbands, Sony was also peddling Smart Watches aggressively with another SmartTalk band concurrently released on the side. Alas, the concept of lifelogging was new to the market and the laboured release of accessories effectively killed off what might have been a promising start for the Smartband series. When I reviewed the Sony Smartband SWR10 in 2014, I gave it high marks given the potential it had.
