Sony has announced that the stainless steel version of the SmartWatch 3 is now rolling out across the globe. We’d gotten our first peek at this premium model of the company’s first Android Wear smart watch back in January, and it’s nice to see it didn’t take long for them to ramp up production and start shipping them out.
The stainless steel straps are only available with the purchase of the new model for the time being, though Sony notes they will make them available as standalone straps for anyone who already owns a SmartWatch 3 in due time.
They’ve also let loose details about a SmartWatch 3 “holder” that’ll let you use any standard-sized 24nm watch band. No word on when that one will be available just yet, but judging by the time it took for the stainless steel model to hit retail it shouldn’t be very long. Let us know if you’ll be looking to grab the new stainless steel option or any of the aftermarket customization options once they’re finally made available.
