Is Android Wear useful yet?
Expensive
Display isn't particularly vibrant
MicroUSB port an annoyance to access
Protective grommet feels flimsy
Omission of heart rate sensor
No heart rate monitor
Thick band
Unimaginative stock faces
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
Screen offers poor viewing angles when switched on and being used
Great battery, GPS functionality works well, Screen works well outdoors,
Average screen, Bulky design, Missing a heart-rate monitor,
Sony's SmartWatch 3 feels like a very middle-of-the-road product. There's nothing inherently bad about it, but there's nothing that really sets it aside from its Android Wear brethren; much like its name, the SmartWatch 3 is a little bland. There's a few...

Great battery life, builtin GPS, clasp works well
No Heart Rate Monitor, thick band, annoying USB cover
All in all, I think the Sony Smartwatch 3 is a great device.With impressive battery life, a screen that you can use without the backlight (in most cases) and built-in GPS capabilities, the watch would definitely suit those looking for something to take al...

Abstract: Sony 's Smartwatch 3 was pretty well received by Chris when he took a look at the original – it went head-to-head with the Moto 360 in the marketplace, and found a permanent place on his wrist. Now, Sony's released a new SKU of the watch which comes with ...

Sony's move to introduce a high-end option of the SmartWatch 3 was the right way to go for the OEM in having another alternative for buyers interested in a sleek and snazzy smartwatch.The SmartWatch 3 SS is a beautiful smartwatch, despite its more afforda...

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....
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...
