If you want a watch that blends with the existing urban lifestyle, with that subtle benefit of notifying you any incoming events from your phone, then Sony SmartWatch 2 gives you a good experience at a lower price.If you want a watch that is really sm...
In conclusion, Sony has indeed built a very capable watch that has a lot of potential to make people want to wear a watch again. After a month of testing the watch, I never leave home without it. The hardware is very well built and the watch lives up to i...
How useful is a smartwatch like Sony SW2? If you always have your smartphone with you all the time, then a smartwatch is definitely redundant, and in some cases, annoying. But if you leave your smartphone in your bag or frequently out-of-sight, or if you...

The Sony SmartWatch 2 screens phone alerts, Gmail, and call info in real time. The device also has a modern, water-resistant design that's compatible with standard watch bands
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

There are times when the SW2 is convenient. Getting a call, email, or text you're going to ignore means simply looking at your watch and moving on, rather than digging out your phone, turning it on, unlocking it, looking, and then turning it off and putti
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
No. This isnt the smartwatch you were looking for. Sorry. It may still be out there, looming in the distant future, but that day has most definitely not come. Right now, this $200 device is just a toy that will ultimately waste more time than it will sav...
Sleek, comfortable design. Several hundred apps already available. Water-resistant. Readable in sunlight.
Bulkier than the first model. Buggy software. Many apps lack utility. Doesn't make or receive calls. No camera. Only works with Android
Sony gets closer to the smartwatch ideal with the SmartWatch 2, its second-iteration wearable smartphone companion. But bugs and other limitations make it a product that's unlikely to appeal to the masses....
As a watch junkie of sorts, I seem to be collecting the "popular" models. That's currently a short list, but we certainly expect it to grow. Without taking any other model into consideration, I think the SW2 is priced a bit too high to recommend. Currentl...
