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

Should you buy any smartwatch at the moment? Probably not. If you want something to show off to your mates down the pub and have a spare £150 to burn then sure go for it. If you're desperate for a smartwatch then the SmartWatch 2 is a better shout than th...

Abstract: The Sony Smart Watch 2 is coming. Sony promises. While we wait, we've been hands-on, and found that its best feature so far is something that the Samsung Galaxy Gear competitor can never have.The Sony SmartWatch 2 is the third official smart watch from So...
Stylish, lightweight and comfortable, Works with any Android 4.0 smartphone, Reasonable 4-5 day battery life (advertises 3-4), Simple touchscreen interface, Good range of notification apps available, IP57 water resistant
Only five watch faces available, one digital, Can't replace default watch faces, No official calendar app (does show reminders), Micro-USB port is difficult to access, Occasional crashes
Quickly glancing at the ever-present screen was far less intrusive than taking my phone out.Sony's latest smartwatch aims to be a notification device above all else. No camera, no speaker, no microphone – it's no Galaxy Gear, nor does it want to be. That...
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...
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
As a concept, Sony's SmartWatch 2 seems to tread a fine line between the simple (like the Pebble) and the overblown and tricksy (like the Galaxy Gear). The design is solid, if a little drab-retro for our liking, the screen is a useful size and battery lif...
Retailing at PhP 8,990, the Smart Watch 2 is considered a little expensive compared to the US$150 (PhP 6,783 based on currency rates at time of publication) Pebble Watch. The Galaxy Gear is too expensive at PhP 13,990.If you do not need a color display, t...
