The wearable device comes with IP65/68 rating and functions even in sea water. It can function underwater up to a depth of two metres and continue working for up to 30 minutes, the company claimed in a statement.
"WS623 Walkman" can endure extreme temperatures from -5?C to 45?C -- making it ideal during a hike or climb.
By enabling 'Ambient Sound Mode', one can stay in touch with the surroundings and utilise in-built microphones to pick up external voices and sounds in the surrounding environment.
The device will be available at Sony Centres and electronic stores from June 15.
