Abstract: I recently had the opportunity to review the latest SmartWatch offering from Sony, and it was perfect timing since Android Wear has just entered the market so was interesting to see how the Sony SmartWatch SW2 stacked up against the Android Wear platform....

Abstract: Pros: -Convenience. You don't have to pick up your phone from your pocket to see who is calling. Especially gratifying when busy with work and clients. -Battery Life. It's pretty good. I only have to charge it every 3 days or so, and it takes at most 3 ho...
Customizable vibration notifications, Screen is always "awake", Several hundred apps
Heavy to wear, Limited watchface options

Abstract: Smartwatches are designed to work with your smartphone rather than replace it, providing notifications so you don't have to whip out your handset every 5 seconds. And although the category is in its infancy, three models stand out among the first crop. The Pebble ($149) is water-resistant and has a wide range of apps available. The Sony SmartWatch 2 ($199) delivers an Android-like experience on your wrist. And the Galaxy Gear ($299) lets you make calls and even snap photos. But which high-tech timepiece is best? We've put all three devices through an 11-round face-off to determine which smartwatch is right for you....

There’s a smartwatch war going on right now – did you know? With the Smartwatch 2, Sony reminds the world that they’ve already been in the market for a generation, with months of head start going in an unbroken line of evolutionary products (even if it...
Abstract: Smartwatches are the future… or something like that. As growth in the smartphone market slows, especially at the high end where companies have been making a killing, consumer electronics giants need to look elsewhere to bolster earnings growth. For Samsun...
