According to the popular U.K. electronics retailer, Clove, Sony’s recently announced SmartWatch 2 will be arriving in stock via the retailer starting July 15.

The device is already available to pre-order through Clove for £120 (including VAT), which is around $180. The U.K. based electronics retailer has published an official blog post, stating that the first units will ship as soon as they arrive.

The U.K. release date of July 15 is certainly very surprising, considering that Sony announced in its official SmartWatch 2 press release that the watch will ship at some point during September. Not long after Sony declared that the device would be coming to the U.K. it then confirmed that it will also arrive in France in September, at the cost of €199, which is around $258.

By the looks of it, customers in the U.K. are definitely getting the better deal and an earlier shipping date!
