Sony's SmartWatch was part of a rush of smartphone-connected watches released between 2010 and 2012, as developers looked to update Dick Tracy's wristwear for a world full of Android and iOS devices. But the Kickstarter-funded Pebble swept many of them away, gaining the kind of cultural cachet that other connected watches never even approached. With the Pebble a few months past release and Apple's iWatch still a rumor, Sony is teasing an update to its SmartWatch for this year's Mobile Asia Expo.

Using the highly original hashtag #itstime, the Sony Xperia account has sent a couple of tweets that seem to promise a new watch at MAE, which kicks off June 26th in Shanghai. A second tweet shows what looks like the most recent iteration of Sony's watch, which was released in 2012. That second-generation SmartWatch was hurt by its confusing interface and awkward phone integration, but post-Pebble, it's possible we'll see a fuller feature set — and that the then-expensive price point will make more sense this time around.
