It would be apt to say that the apps on smartphones that control the smartwatches are the unsung heroes. If not for them, a smartwatch would be a just a simple watch with a terrible battery. Sony has pushed an update for its smartwatch app on the Play Store, bringing a host of new features on Sony Smartwatch 2.
The updated app brings a new Watchface Editor that allows you to customize the look of the home screen on your smartwatch. The editor can be used to changed the watch face, as well as widgets on the screen. Along with that Sony has introduced six new wallpapers with the update.
