In the end, I found Sony's SmartWatch 2 a great accessory to my smartphone. It's something that doesn't replace it, but compliments it. I never expected to want to replace my smartphone, but I didn't expect the Sony SmartWatch 2 to compliment my smartpho...

Abstract: We're also not thrilled with Sony's official Australian pricing; the same device in the US is US$199.99; even with GST and a little shipping overhead, we can't quite see how that equates to $354.95.By : Sony Price : $354.95 Critical specs : 1.6-inch, 22...
Dust & water resistant, Changeable strap, Various apps, More affordable
Text is small, No message flows, Tricky to setup, UI sluggish at times
If you are absolutely desperate for a smartwatch then I would recommend the Sony SmartWatch 2 over the likes of the Pebble, Qualcomm Toq and Samsung Galaxy Gear, but if you're not really bothered then I'd advise to steer clear. Despite the update, the Sm...

With its ability to push Android notifications to your wrist, the Sony SmartWatch 2 is more useful than Samsung's Galaxy Gear, but the Pebble is still the best smartwatch deal around....
No. This isn't 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...
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
A truly useful companion to any Android smartphone, particularly larger and less pocketable ‘phablet' devices. A bit steep at the RRP, but a good buy in the $200-$250 range it sells for at some outlets...

My initial impressions were that this watch was good, but not great. After reviewing the unit for a week, adding third party apps that improved the functionality for me, I am now impressed. The watch can handle living on a wrist and not having to worry ab...

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...
