Sony will launch the new Smartwatch 3 'Steel Edition'-first shown off at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January-globally in the next few months.

The new Steel Edition offers even more quality in the design, while offering a familiar design from the plastic Smartwatch 3. The Steel Edition allows Sony to be more competitive against Moto 360 and LG G Watch R.

Smartwatch 3 will feature a 1.6-inch TFT (320 x 320) LCD display, 1.2 GHz processor, 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of internal storage.

It will feature Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, NFC and a list of sensors connected to fitness and health. Sony claims it has a battery that lasts two days.

Sony has not disclosed prices for the Smartwatch 3, hopefully before it goes on launch we can see the price differential from the plastic to the metal design.

The smartwatch will run Android Wear-Google's rather unpopular smartwatch platform that hasn't gained 1 million sales yet-featuring some of Sony's watch faces.

Sony's Smartwatch 3 features a 22 mm holder, allowing users to change the strap. The original strap will feature a metallic band to fit with the metal design on the watch face.

Buyers will also be gifted six months of free access to To-do-list premium service, a good app for smartwatch users.
