The new Apple Watch Series 2 offers fantastic build quality and is fully waterproof, but if you've got an Android phone, not planning on a swim with a smartwatch and want to save yourself some pennies, the Sony SmartWatch 3 and Moto 360 Sport are fantasti...
Anno 2016 a smartwatch cannot be labeled unmissable and essential. It's definitely a nice gadget to have, but you'll get through the day just fine without one, without ever feeling that you miss something. Manufacturers have realized that marketing a sm...

The Sony SmartWatch 3 is a good smartwatch, but we can't help but feel that it could have been so much more. On the plus side, the built-in GPS and transflective display set it apart from the crowd, battery life is decent and it's sensibly priced, too.How...

Freedom with GPS connectivity, Decent battery life, Easy charging with Micro USB, Great waterproof rating,
Screen is mediocre, Rubber strap feels a bit cheap, No heart rate monitoring, Android Wear still work in progress,
The Sony SmartWatch 3 might not be the best-looking Android Wear device so far – that honour belongs to the LG G Watch R – but it's by far the most useful. Its design may be pretty uninspiring and the display is fairly mediocre but the functionality affor...
Robust, quality build, In, built GPS, Offline music playback
GPS drains the battery life, Awkward charging port
