To recap
The Sony SmartBand 2 updates the previous device by adding heart rate into the mix, but takes the hit with a shorter battery life. The new strap is more comfortable and better designed, but this is a device that misses some essentials as a sports tracker. In that sense the SmartBand 2 still sort of falls down the cracks, gathering a mixture of elements, with a specific speciality.
