Buggy software makes it extremely frustrating to use
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,
While it's packed with plenty of apps to keep you busy, the Sony SmartWatch 2 is a pretty stripped-down take on the wearable. And less than a year after its release it already feels a tad out-dated. Still, if you can't hold out until the SmartWatch 3 roll...
There's no denying that the Sony SmartWatch is priced somewhere in the lower ranges of smartwatches with online prices starting at €130.99 while, say, the Galaxy Gear which with Littlewoods Ireland is going for €419.But even it being at the lower end of t...
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...

The Sony SmartWatch 2 is a significant improvement over its predecessor in terms of build quality and performance, but that isn't saying much considering the original model barely functioned.The device is user-friendly for the most part, and there are sit...
At £149 the Sony SmartWatch 2 is a good value for money smart watch. It improves on the original version in key areas such as design, battery life and showing the time. With plenty of apps to download and use, there's lots of functionality too.Tags:Smartp...

Good looking device, sensitive touch screen, social networking apps, water resistant, lightweight, charging via microUSB
Lowres screen, no camera, no mic/speaker, limited app functionality, many apps only work with Sony products
It's cheaper and lighter than the Galaxy Gear , and it has more social networking apps at launch, immediately making it more useful and less of a toy than Samsung's device, and the subtler style will be a bonus for many. It's not perfect and it's import...
