The editors didn't like
Slow at times
Sony provides the basic apps
But that is all
Most third party apps have limited appeal
Reduces the battery charge on the tethered phone
The Sony SmartWatch 2 is tricky to set up on non-Sony phones. The watch has a small clock face selection
Short battery life
And a quirky music player app. There's no iOS support
As a watch junkie of sorts, I seem to be collecting the "popular" models. That's currently a short list, but we certainly expect it to grow. Without taking any other model into consideration, I think the SW2 is priced a bit too high to recommend. Currentl...
Greatly expanded functionality via 3rd party apps, Very handy for quick check on notifications, Decent battery life, Water resistance
Slow, Comparatively poor display, Glitchy and frustrating to set up
Sony is improving on its smart watches in increments, treading the water lightly to gauge whether this nascent market will really take off, and it shows in the specs and price of the SmartWatch 2. It is a well built, but somewhat slow and glitchy devic...

There isn't anything particularly new or cutting-edge about the Sony SmartWatch 2. It's notifications, it's wrist-based fitness tracking data, and it's music controls. And you can take it underwater and extend its battery life for days while doing those t...

The Sony Smartwatch MN2 has a lot of flaws, ranging from minor inconveniences to design decisions that make you wonder about the intelligence of the people who made them. At $125 in the US ( Amazon ) it's a lot more expensive relative to the Pebble and ...
Abstract: We've tested a bunch of smartwatches in 2014, most of which ran Android Wear. There is a lot of variation in design and some companies –– hello, Moto –– are clearly way out in front with respect to the actual look and feel of their devices. Below is a rou...
No extra charging cradle, Works with all Android phones, Interchangeable straps,
Out-dated OS, App setup is tricky, Limited battery life,
While it's packed with plenty of apps to keep you busy, the Sony SmartWatch 2 is a pretty stripped-down take on the wearable. And less than a year after its release it already feels a tad out-dated. Still, if you can't hold out until the SmartWatch 3 roll...
There's no denying that the Sony SmartWatch is priced somewhere in the lower ranges of smartwatches with online prices starting at €130.99 while, say, the Galaxy Gear which with Littlewoods Ireland is going for €419.But even it being at the lower end of t...
Abstract: By the time you read this, an Apple iWatch may be close to release. I've been trying this Sony version of what Apple may or may not launch, and it's an extremely good controller for any Android phone you have about you, so Android users need not feel jeal...
Sleek and comfortable design, Several hundred apps already available, Water, resistant
Bulkier than the first model, Buggy software, Many apps lack utility
All told, the SmartWatch 2 is fun to play with, even if it's still far from perfect. I like how much you can tune and customise the various apps, but I'm also frustrated by how many features are still missing in each one. If you want a smartwatch, the Sa...
