Google Play started selling Sony’s sports-focused take on Android Wear on Monday for $249.99, which means five of the six officially announced Android Wear smartwatches are on sale from Google’s official online store (the Asus ZenWatch is currently only available at Best Buy.)

Instead, you have to use Sony’s rubber bands. If you need help choosing which Android Wear smartwatch is right for you, here’s a handy guide.
