From TechHive: Not wanting to be left out of the party, Sony may join LG and Samsung in announcing a new smartwatch soon.
Xperia Blog first spotted an image of the supposed smartwatch on Sony's Facebook page before it was removed. It's possible that this is the Sony SmartWatch 3, a follow-up to last year's SmartWatch 2.
Details are scarce, but the image shows that the watch band and watch face are a single unit. The design looks similar to Qualcomm's experimental Toq watch, which stored its battery in the clasp to allow for a slimmer watch face.
Toq had several other novel technologies, including wireless charging and a color Mirasol display that could last for days on a charge, but Qualcomm never intended to sell the watch in large quantities. Instead, Qualcomm's goal was to partner with other smartwatch makers, who could bring Toq's ideas to the mass market. Perhaps Sony will be the first company to do so.
