By far the top negative thing about the watch for me is the spotty Bluetooth connectivity. Keep in mind that I have only tested this on my HTC Evo 3D and it may work much more solidly on other devices. I've read other reviews that mention it's solid on th

Abstract: By adding support for GPS sensors, Android Wear now blurs the line between smartwatch and sport watch. So, if you're going for a run or a bike ride, you don't actually need your phone in your pocket to track the details of your route (which is pretty hand...

The Sony SmartWatch enters the realm of usability thanks to recent software updates, but it's still more smartphone accessory than solid standalone timepiece.
The Sony SmartWatch is a small clip-on device that connects to your phone over Bluetooth and provides quick access to a variety of notifications, including incoming calls, Facebook messages, upcoming calendar items, and lots more. Some of the more interac...
Abstract: The Smartwatch is Sony's second attempt at a Bluetooth phone remote, improving much since the introduction of the SonyEriccson Liveview. That first gadget is still available at a much reduced price than the Sony Smartwatch's retail price of $149. The newe...

No. Absolutely not. No one should own this, no matter their lifestyle preferences or moral views. I promise you—you wont like it. The Sony SmartWatch is pathetic, frustrating, and empty. Theres no way to justify spending $150 on this—this ripoff of a th...

Well, with everything I've had to say about the Sony SmartWatch, you might think it's not very smart at all. To a degree, I would agree with you. There's really no smarts on the watch itself. All the heavy lifting is done by your phone. And with the occas...
