The customization tool allows you to drop widgets on your default home screen, much like you’d do on an Android phone. Available widgets include read-outs for the date, weather, calendar events, notifications, battery life, the alarm, any other apps created by third-party developers using Sony’s open A. Sony is also rolling out six new wallpapers, a calculator app (no phone tethering required), improved Gmail syncing with hsets, better user-interface experiences in the Facebook app notifications drawer. Finally, you can now set the Smartwatch 2 to no longer vibrate when Bluetooth connects disconnects. OK, so these aren’t earthshaking improvements. But at least Sony continues to improve its humble Android-based wearable. That’s good news for anyone who’s already bought a Smarttch 2, but may be eyeing upcoming Android ar models with envy.
