The editors didn't like
It's almost never more convenient to use this watch than it is to simply pull out your smartphone
Except in the few instances mentioned above. The UI is unwieldy and unresponsive
And while we like that we can see it in bright daylight
The screen's low
Slow
Comparatively poor display
Glitchy and frustrating to set up
Heavy to wear
Limited watchface options
Inscrutable
Confusing notifications for some apps
Blurry display
Useful only for very specific use cases
Occasional lag
Doesn't support thirdparty watch faces
Weak music controls
No speaker mic or camera
The Sony SmartWatch 2 is tricky to set up on non-Sony phones. The watch has a small clock face selection
Short battery life
And a quirky music player app. There's no iOS support
Bulkier than the first model. Buggy software. Many apps lack utility. Doesn't make or receive calls. No camera. Only works with Android

The Sony SmartWatch 2 is a good looking and stylish smartphone accessory. But altogether I strongly miss a killer feature that should make it unique and compelling over the Pebble and Samsung Galaxy Gear, Although the 4 day battery life and IP 57 water re...
Water Resistant, Large App Support, Micro USB charging port
No Speaker/Mic, No Virtual keyboard
With good battery life and water, dust and scratch resistance Sony Smartwatch is much closer to the term watch, apart from being smart. The fact that it has lot of improvements over previous version shows that this technology is improving and people irrit...
