If you remember Sony’s Wena Wrist, an analog-style smartwatch made by Sony’s internal incubator, then you might be interested to know that Sony created a new version of this. Called the Three Hands Square, this hybrid smartwatch comes with a square body and a round face. Made specifically for women, it features an 18mm, 20mm, and 22mm case options. There’s also a new leather strap option. However, that would mean you’ll lose the notification function from the steel band. You still do get NFC, though.

But the steel bands are also being sold separately so you can mix and match. The steel band and the watch face will go on sale in Japan later this month. The watch itself has a starting price of 10,380 yen (around CA$120), while the steel band will cost at least 33,880 yen (around CA$390). If you want to wait for the leather band that’s coming out in late December, it costs 8,380 yen (around CA$95). No word if these watches will make its way out of Japan.
