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
  • Low resolution display
  • Clumsy interface and setup
  • Lots of lag
  • Android only
  • Relatively low quality display
  • Some software issues
  • Average battery life

  • Well build, Good battery life, Easy to setup
  • Mediocre official apps, Lack of good third party apps, Doesn't push notifications by default, Android only
  • Coming from a Pebble Smartwatch user, I can't really recommend the Sony SmartWatch 2 to anyone till there are better third party apps available on Google Play. Sony would also need to fix some of their official apps first (like Email). Despite being a hug...

  • Llevar un smartwatch actualmente no es algo normal, nos parece que estamos en la época en la que llevar un móvil no era común y aún mirábamos extrañados a esas personas que hablaban solas por la calle. Poco a poco será algo más común y tras el MWC de est...
