The [Sony](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-earbuds-concept) Ericsson SmartWatch is the latest in wearable technology, and it offers you pretty much all the functions of a smartphone in a fashionable and sleek watch design.

Running on the Android platform, the Sony Ericsson SmartWatch ensures that you can connect with your friends -- hands-free. With its 128 x 128 micro display and 1.3-inch color OLED touchscreen, it provides a tech-savvy way to check your [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaomi) and [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twitter-3d-gadget) interactions, texts and email. You can also use it to see who's calling you, take calls via a headset, play your favorite tunes, schedule items in a calendar and more. Plus, with several differently colored rubber wristbands to choose from, the Sony Ericsson SmartWatch also lets you customize your look.
