  • Abstract:  Sony SmartWatch. Source: The AustralianIt's official. The legendary Sony Walkman now sits inside a watch on your wrist, not in your pocket or around the waist. Walkman integration is a notable feature of Sony's latest smartwatch, SWR50.I found it liberati...

  • Very, very readable in sunlight; MicroUSB charging; Battery lasts a good two days for most people, with power users needing a charge every day; Water resistance rated at IP68;
  • Screen offers poor viewing angles when switched on and being used; For some reason, it runs a little slow; Very few additional watch faces; No heart rate monitor;
  • Sony's first take on Android Wear shows come promise, but it's still not quite there, with a watch that boasts strong battery life and readability in the sun, but no other amazing reason to choose it over the competition.If you need a smartwatch and spend...

  • The Sony SmartWatch 3 has built-in GPS to track your workout without needing your phone. It's waterproof, has a built-in USB port for charging without a dock and runs Android Wear smoothly
  • Its screen is pretty awful, with poor colours and viewing angles. Its plain, square design makes it much less stylish than the LG G Watch R and it doesn't have a heart-rate monitor built in
  • Although its ability to use GPS to track your run is handy, its poor screen, uninspiring design and lack of a heart-rate monitor means the SmartWatch 3 doesn't impress over its more luxurious Android Wear competitors....

  • Is Android Wear useful yet?, Expensive
  • The Sony Smartwatch 3 is a good device that fits well into the burgeoning Android Wear party, and comes with some nifty features that make it possibly quite a good option to buy. I'm still waiting for the final price and a proper release date to play wit...

  • Abstract:  Ahead of IFA, there were rumours that Sony was to release a third SmartWatch that would still be running on the company's own wearable operating system. On the basis of our experience with previous efforts, that would have been a very bad idea indeed. Tha...

  • The Smartwatch 3 has its quirks as well as features such as its built-in GPS, which helps it stand out in a crowded smartwatch market. If you're a fitness fanatic with Bluetooth headphones, it's got a definite edge over the others. Fitness fanatics will l...

  • Boring design, Limited watch strap options, Expensive
  • Android Wear hasn't changed much, and whether you buy the cheap LG G Watch or the expensive Sony SmartWatch 3, you're assured of a uniform experience. The only real improvements that the Sony SmartWatch 3 offer over its competition are a sharper screen, m...
