  • 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...

  • 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 sa...

  • Review: Sony SmartWatch 2 SW2Review by Victor YapWhen the Pebble first appeared, I thought to myself that I'd give it a go to see how it'd fit my lifestyle. The plan never fell through due to lack of time or adequate funds. That ended my lofty dreams of e...

  • Premium design, Micro-USB charging, User friendly
  • Display could be better, Slight sluggish performance
  • We like the SW2, but there are still some kinks to iron out before we can really fall in love with this gadget. These bugs are most commonly seen when trying to sync the SW2 to your smartphone. It sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. It works well a ma...

  • 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
