Some companies say that the watch may not sell well. They say it is cool and stylish, but it isn't a real smart watch because it would hardly connect to the Internet.

Sony kept its watch a big secret for a long time. Plans for the watch were on the internet since September of 2013, but the company did not say it was a Sony watch.
