  • Abstract:  While rumors had already indicated that Sony would launch the SmartWatch 3 at IFA , we admit we were pleasantly surprised to see Sony ditch its platform in favor of Android Wear. During our time at IFA, we managed to get a first hands-on look at the devic...

  • It was almost inevitable that Sony would launch an Android Wear wearable and we like the SmartWatch 3. It has decent specs, interchangeable straps and is completely waterproof. We can't help feel it's a little overpriced compared to rivals, though....

  • Abstract:  The look and feel of the SmartWatch 3 isn't a very big departure from the first two versions. It is still a square smartwatch and with the black case resembles the size and shape of a basic Casio digital watch. The SmartWatch 3's core unit does have some...

  • Abstract:  Much of that battle has been centred on design. Motorola opened a new salvo in the fight with its rounded Moto 360, prompting LG to remodel its G Watch, too. Given that Wear is still a very new platform that has endless room to grow, the burden falls on S...

  • Waterproofing, Removable chassis easily charged via microUSB, Bright display in direct sunlight, Replaceable straps, Good battery life, Built-in GPS
  • Boring design, Poor screen viewing angles, No heart rate monitor
  • Certainly not the best Android Wear smartwatch on the market, the SmartWatch 3 is Sony's best chance at sticking it out in an increasingly high-margin and high-stakes ecosystem. That the SmartWatch 3 can be used with any Android 4.3+ smartphone makes it l...

  • Great battery, GPS functionality works well, Screen works well outdoors,
  • Average screen, Bulky design, Missing a heart-rate monitor,
  • Sony's SmartWatch 3 feels like a very middle-of-the-road product. There's nothing inherently bad about it, but there's nothing that really sets it aside from its Android Wear brethren; much like its name, the SmartWatch 3 is a little bland. There's a few...

  • Great battery life, builtin GPS, clasp works well
  • No Heart Rate Monitor, thick band, annoying USB cover
  • All in all, I think the Sony Smartwatch 3 is a great device.With impressive battery life, a screen that you can use without the backlight (in most cases) and built-in GPS capabilities, the watch would definitely suit those looking for something to take al...

  • Abstract:  Sony 's Smartwatch 3 was pretty well received by Chris when he took a look at the original – it went head-to-head with the Moto 360 in the marketplace, and found a permanent place on his wrist. Now, Sony's released a new SKU of the watch which comes with ...
