The Xperia Z1 will be heading to all major UK carriers when it launches over the next few weeks. Most of the operators are offering their own incentives to entice new owners, typically either the SmartWatch 2 or DSC-QX10 free with new contracts. For those looking for a sim-free bundle, then Sony UK is currently offering a Sony SmartWatch 2 with metal strap when you pre-order the Xperia Z1 for £599. For more details see below.
