The editors didn't like
Slow at times

But that is all
Most third party apps have limited appeal

Abstract: Smartwatches are the future… or something like that. As growth in the smartphone market slows, especially at the high end where companies have been making a killing, consumer electronics giants need to look elsewhere to bolster earnings growth. For Samsun...

There are times when the SW2 is convenient. Getting a call, email, or text you're going to ignore means simply looking at your watch and moving on, rather than digging out your phone, turning it on, unlocking it, looking, and then turning it off and putti
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, the screen's low
No. This isnt 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 sa...

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...
