Abstract: The Sony Smart Watch 2 is coming. Sony promises. While we wait, we've been hands-on, and found that its best feature so far is something that the Samsung Galaxy Gear competitor can never have.The Sony SmartWatch 2 is the third official smart watch from So...
Stylish, lightweight and comfortable, Works with any Android 4.0 smartphone, Reasonable 4-5 day battery life (advertises 3-4), Simple touchscreen interface, Good range of notification apps available, IP57 water resistant
Only five watch faces available, one digital, Can't replace default watch faces, No official calendar app (does show reminders), Micro-USB port is difficult to access, Occasional crashes
Quickly glancing at the ever-present screen was far less intrusive than taking my phone out.Sony's latest smartwatch aims to be a notification device above all else. No camera, no speaker, no microphone – it's no Galaxy Gear, nor does it want to be. That...
Abstract: We've tested a bunch of smartwatches in 2014, most of which ran Android Wear. There is a lot of variation in design and some companies –– hello, Moto –– are clearly way out in front with respect to the actual look and feel of their devices. Below is a rou...
No extra charging cradle, Works with all Android phones, Interchangeable straps,
Out-dated OS, App setup is tricky, Limited battery life,

Abstract: By the time you read this, an Apple iWatch may be close to release. I've been trying this Sony version of what Apple may or may not launch, and it's an extremely good controller for any Android phone you have about you, so Android users need not feel jeal...
Sleek and comfortable design, Several hundred apps already available, Water, resistant
Bulkier than the first model, Buggy software, Many apps lack utility
All told, the SmartWatch 2 is fun to play with, even if it's still far from perfect. I like how much you can tune and customise the various apps, but I'm also frustrated by how many features are still missing in each one. If you want a smartwatch, the Sa...

Small, lightweight, cheap, Twice weekly charge via microUSB, Good selection of apps
Unreliable in use, No iOS compatibility, some Sony-only functions, Useless without a smartphone
As a concept, Sony's SmartWatch 2 seems to tread a fine line between the simple (like the Pebble) and the overblown and tricksy (like the Galaxy Gear ). The design is solid, if a little drab-retro for our liking, the screen is a useful size and battery l...
