Some people say that with our increasing reliance on smartphones that we don’t really need to have a conventional wristwatch anymore. That doesn’t have to be the case, especially when you have a “smart” watch to go with your smartphone. Case in point is the Sony MN2SW, which happens to be on sale for $45 off.

The Sony MN2SW SmartWatch works in tandem with a Google Android smartphone of your choosing, pairing it up so that you don’t have to go fumbling for your smartphone to achieve your basic smartphone needs. The SmartWatch, for example, can be used to read all of your texts, emails and social media updates. This is very useful if you keep your phone in your purse, backpack or similar bag.

The multi-touch color 1.3-inch OLED display can also be used to control your smartphone’s music, letting you skip through tracks and find the right song for your daily commute on the train. This is all done via Bluetooth 3.0 with an operating range of up to 30 feet. All you need is to find SmartWatch compatible apps through the Google Play Store. Battery life is rated at about 3-4 days of typical usage.

You can pick up the Sony MN2SW SmartWatch on Amazon.com for $104.94, a 30% savings off the regular list price of $149.99.
