You Can Now Buy Sony's Reon Pocket Wearable Air Conditioners at a Cheap Price

Sony was supposed to launch its newest wearable, the Reon Pocket simultaneously with the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, but due to the pandemic, they are having it on sale right now independently, BGR reported.

And to make it even more interesting, it works as a wearable air conditioner. Sounds amazing?

Helping you battle out the heat is this new Sony wearable that you can wear by suspending the device on the back right below the neck.

Whether you are at home waiting for businesses and offices to open in the COVID-19 pandemic or outside waiting in the queue, the wearable works to freshen you up so you do not sweat a lot. This is also ideal while waiting for your next job interview, since you always have to look very presentable.

23 degrees Fahrenheit

How better is this wearable than the other item popular, the handheld battery-operated electric fan? Well, it follows the size of a computer mouse or even smaller, and utilizes the Peltier effect to pump heat and keep the body with 23 degrees Fahrenheit in the hot weather. Basically speaking, it is like being inside an air-conditioned room.

The sides of the Sony Reon Pocket resting against your back will remain cool to the touch even when heat is removed, since it has a small fan venting air away from the body.

It works with an iOS and Android mobile app that lets you customize and adjust the settings. Moreover, it also lets you set this on the automatic mode that utilizes motion sensors and temperature to detect the activity of the person, their mood, and as it changes depending on these conditions.

Two hours of battery life

During the winter months, wearers may also adjust the gadget to work as a heater, helping to raise the body temperature to as much as 14 degrees Fahrenheit. With the compact size, the battery life though is just for around two to four hours depending on how they are utilized. Re-charge to wear it again.

Last summer, the company announced it is launching two different versions of the Reon Pocket. One of these is the LIte version that strictly controls the device manually, and the Standard version that has the auto-bells and whistles going along with the app.

However, a year later, this version was the one launched. It is available on the official online store of Sony, selling at around $120. You can also purchase this from Amazon Japan but more expensive at $160. The t-shirt holders are at $20 each.

Heat stroke, sunburn and skin-related rashes are among the most common diseases this summer. And considering the effects of climate change, the sun's heat may provide vitamins but when it is too much, it may cause illnesses. Products of this kind prevent these from happening.
